This must be cheating

Now someone might be able to find a legitimate reason an account like this might exist, but there seem to be a lot of accounts that exist just to grow UU. I have come across several players with zero def/att/cov, but with a reasonable UP who train all their units as attackers (not even as miners!!!!!). In one case a player with a zero attack had 500K+ units trained as attackers - I guess to untrain and move somewhere else.

Now, my guess is that these guys are either multies or players that do nothing but sell UU for cash (if it was for ingame goods they wouldn't need to build up so many, and would also, I guess, would train them as miners rather than attackers.

In either case these accounts should be banned.

So, you are saying that if i untrain all my 30mil UUs and put them to attackers, then i am cheating and i have to be banned? :shock:

I think those accounts could be checked to see where are they getting the naq from to build UP and who is raiding them when they untrain the units, but i`m afraid, that is the only thing that can be done unless you find more proofs.

If you read my post you would see that I am not saying anything about your 30 million units. And I assume that you have not got 30m units all trained as attackers, and have a def/att/ and covert of zero. And I don't think you would be crazy enough to do it. So no, I am saying nothing about you.

There are a number of accounts like this one that need to be looked into. Because I can see no legitimate reason for an account to be run like this!!!!

I can perfectly see what you are saying dont worry, however, in this case I ersonally do not believe it to be a multi.

Gamemod checks these things eventually though.

I thought you could only sell excess production for cash, not your total production.

Excess is a wonderfully vague term. :wink:

Could be someone not able to play much atm.....doesn't want income from miners so doesn't become a farm, but wants the uu when they come back....I've done that before.

It's the accounts with ZERO miners and nothing but attackers and huge ups that i find odd.

I recently saw about 8 of those accounts get banned, so yes admin does eventually catch on.

Accounts like this wouldn't qualify as "want the UU when I get back" because they are so threadbare that they never were here in the first place. There is no question in my mind that this account (and many others I have found) were set up just for the movement of UU.

Hello,

There is not evidence of multi activity on this account.
