Multi behaviour

He nicked a planet. It vanished. I asked for it back, or at least to know where it was. He ignored me, so I nuked him. (I'm top 500...)

He then messaged me with "ha ha, I have nothing for you to destroy" and then nicked/lost another planet.

His mothership had nothing after my attack, so he must have another account to rebuilt it so quickly.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

nope

[gordash]

umm, maybe - and this is just a theory - he had a....bank! :O. lol, the fact that he steals planets and then rebuilds when you mass him is no proof of any kind that he is a cheater.

which is why it needs to be checked out

no hidden, this is almost as bad as someone accusing someone with a low army size and a high income of cheating when they most likely have a commander income boost.

It'd have to be a pretty impressive bank to build a mothership's defences that quickly. He also doesn't have a commander, and watching his naq over a few turns shows it doesn't go up very quickly, so there has to be a certain curiousity as to how he can build so quickly without help.

Although I realise that there are a lot of young/naive/stoopid or possibly insane players, I'd have thought that simple common sense would mean a high ranking player who attacked a low ranking one wouldn't result in the low ranking one going "I've got nothing to be destroyed" followed by them immediately nicking another planet. It's tempting fate.

I agree with one of the suggestions made in the game improvements forum about the whole MS logic, it's very open to being abused.

I think in this case he is either a multi, or more likely sells planets and uses the income to quickly rebuilt his ship. That seems a little illogical to me though, as surely he's just taking one step forward every time he's knocked back one, and making enemies in the process?

maybe hes a sponsored planet raider?

yes and?? that is one way to advance in the game. just because he has a low rank does NOT mean he is a noob - he may well be a raider and from the way you have described it he is almost certainly a planet thief. There are plenty of people like that and i think its a very smart way to make a living - especially if he has someone he can send his money to for safekeeping in anticipation of the day he gets enough resources stored up to be self-sufficient. And to have a large enough bank to repair a mothership isnt that hard - there are plenty of people i know who have banks that are damn near impossible to fill

maybe you should check out his account

[amadkiwi]

Maybe he used the market! 3 billion naq can do quite a bit to repair a mothership.
