Please take a look at this.

why because if it is what it looks like, a lot of you may of traded & be drawn into thsi.

What I suggest is that everyone stop now dealing with all people mentioned.

If they are innocent no harm done, but if they are not you could end up being banned or losing stuff.

I am making no accusations here, just warning what could happen.

jeff ( S T I )

why i posted here is because not everyone goes to cheaters section

also what might help is it all alliance leaders send messages out to their members so the message gets around.(for those who do not read the forums much)

& if what i am being told this is involving vast amounts of naq,

Why is it here?

This is like counterfeit money... dubious stuff.

Counterfeiting

To counterfeit means to imitate with intent to defraud. Most counterfeit paper money can be classified in one of three categories: (1) notes that imitate legitimate notes; (2) alterations of legitimate notes, including notes raised from a lower to a higher denomination; and (3) spurious notes—that is, notes representing obligations of fictional institutions. Counterfeit notes of the period prior to the Civil War had to be distinguished not only from ordinary legal tender, but also from legitimate paper money circulating at a discount because it represented obligations of broken or failed banks. (Such notes were legal and worth whatever fraction of their face value the liquidated assets of the bank would permit.)

The circulation of both counterfeit notes and valid, but discounted, notes of commercial banks gave rise to the publication of pamphlets known as Bank Note Reporters and Counterfeit Detectors, published at any interval from semi weekly to annually by money brokers in centers of financial activity. These pamphlets gave up-to-date information on the validity and value of notes currently in use, and were used by any one who dealt in large amounts of nonlocal currency. After the effective end of state bank-note issues in 1867, the Bank Note Reporters became unnecessary because all bank-note and government-issued currency thenceforth circulated at par.

Counterfeiting is, of course, a crime, and for a long time many countries punished it with death. If, after a counterfeit note is passed the first time, it remains undetected, it becomes a part of the monetary system. At a time of full employment of resources it acts as a tax on the general public in favor of the counterfeiter. It raises prices By the percentage that the value of the counterfeit note bears to the total stock of money in the economy. If numbers of resources are unemploy ed, counterfeit notes have the effect of stimulating spending and, ultimately, reducing unemployment. Thus, at a time of less than full employment, the counterfeiter might be considered a public benefactor. Of course, counterfeit notes have never entered the monetary system in sufficient volume to make these general effects operable.

At least one case is recorded in which a responsible government legalized existing counterfeit issues—an action taken By the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. In an effort to spare the possibly innocent individual detected with a counterfeit note, the Confederate government legalized the acceptance of bogus notes late in the war. Indeed, the government had little choice. Because of the poor quality and multiplicity of issues of reputable Confederate notes, and also because of the masses of counterfeits in circulation—many originating in the North—hardly any one could tell the difference between real and fake money. Frequently the counterfeit notes were of better quality.

Counterfeiting in the twenty-first century is a minor part of total crime. The techniques, skills, and machinery required for effective counterfeiting are very costly and pay off well enough when used in legitimate enterprise with much less risk.

Yes, i think they made a lot of $$$ for free.


Geisha, how come that no one mentioned that bug until yesterday? I didn`t knew about it until you mentioned it in my thread and i wonder that if i wouldn`t have noticed and mentioned it.... hmm... were other people who were using it? I`ve seen a lot of accounts growing exponentialy over night.... game admins have a lot of detective work to do....

S T I, Reborn and all other who have helped me argumenting my posts, thank you.

I have also requested in that thread that the players who sold naq for $$$ to phantomx, henshu and phew to post about that... but until now, no reply was made. There are few Big traders who could sell that vast ammounts of naq and none replyed defending those guys. This prove they were cheating.

[geisha]

Admin knows about the bug. We have told him about it before. As uber 1337 of an admin that he is, he still can't fix every bug instantly give him some time

[Hells__Angel]

They will be punished, no doubt.

[Misz]

What happens if you sold/exchanged uu for naq with one of these players. Will you get banned if you already used the resources you got? Will you get a negative naq figure, if so, will you get the units back? Lets assume the trades was made at market rates.

This sucks

[BL1P]

*cough* certified traders *cough*

[Nigatsu_Aka]

A mod should look in the thread linked by S T I and give warnings and bans... it is out of control...

[Wirewraith]

That thread is now closed and Phew is getting banned, apparently.
On a related note, I am all for the traders guild idea, I assume by the reminiscent tone that there used to be one? Is there still one? If there isn't, I believe it should be done, on one side to combat the rising uu prices, and on another to provide an actual safe and trustworthy group of traders for the general public.

[Reaperman]

OMG - that whole thread is a discgrace and should be deleted from the forum

Details of the suspicious activity should be emailed to GAMEMOD immediately for further investigation and all who took part in that 10 page tirade should be banned from these foryums forever
