Seriously though, (i think i got 2 votes lol), you and i would make excellent cops - you could borrow the flairs i no longer fit in since middle aged spread happened. These are proper 70s flairs, none of your retro crap. Why, Neil Young wiped his nose on this very shirt....

Make it all exponential.
First ban being 1 day ban and resources left alone
Second ban being 2 days ban and resources halved
Third ban being 4 days ban and resources quartered
And when I say resources I mean total value of account. So everything from Ms to units to techs gets taken down by the mulitplier

Just doesn't make sense to me... I don't see why there should be set punishments. The punishment should fit the crime and I don't think the crime-doers are going to be kind enough to exponentially increase their crimes at the same rate that we ban them.
Game cops should have the power to ban for as long or little as they want, so long as everything is done publicly and majority agrees that the punishment is suitable.
I also think game cops should be able to remove UU/naq/stats from accounts ... But I don't think I am going to get my way on that one so a "reset account" button will have to do.

Then have different levels of offense and punishment. As a variable one by a cop could see someone getting a 2 week compared to a permaban depending on their mood.
Have like 5 set levels...

Perhaps, a cop should remain a cop, and not become judge and jury.
Have the cops 'suspend' questionable accounts and relay extensive information to the game admin.
Let the game admin base a verdict and punishment on that.
Just make sure there are some guidelines laid out as to when an account gets suspended and which information to relay.
I can imagine the cops passing along information relating to the severeness off the malicious act, on which the game admin can respond with an appropriate verdict and punishment.
Admin should check the reports to it at least once per 48 hours.
This way the cops responsibilities will be limited to suspending, and they will not, can not, be held accountable for the actual outcome of a verdict. Which I am betting will keep the cops a lot more enthusiastic performing their function in the long run.
Was just a thought ....

The only problem I see with this is that Admin take weeks to respond, not 48 hours.

Make sure those of us who lost a lot due to cheaters get it back, heck I just lost about 80b worth of stuff to the cheater Nitro.
Otherwise all what you try to do is pointless - they'll just create another account, get it high enough to mass someone with cheated resources and mess up the game for multiple people by cheating.
Those who have gotten the resources from cheaters, albeit against their will, need to have them removed. Those who lost resources to cheaters need to get them back.
If nothing is done about that it's the same as if the game cops didn't exist.

I'd like to see you do that with your own resources, cheater 
If you don't like being called a cheat then stop cheating and give every resource you got via cheating to those who lost resources due to you massing them with cheated resources

Funny how you mass me for this...but skip Hippy, a soon-to-be-cop with 10b+
You've sabbed lots but a future cop, seems like you aren't too convinced of yourself though.

Your not as clever as you think you are though,
You sabbed me 16 times, lets just say you used 50k units everytime. you lost approx
2500units PER SAB (40k total) lets say the avg you get from raiding right now with 15 turns is 3500, 40k:3500 = 11, you would have to use approx 11x15 turns = 165 turns to get back what you lost + the 9 turns u used to get the naq is 174 turns spent to get 13.5b whilest the avg farm was ~1.5 b, if you farmed avg farms you would have gotten 26.1b . DOUBLE what you got from me.
So it didn't pay off at all. However it would have paid off if the units you lost, 40k weren't units you had to raid for. WHICH IS EXACTLY THE CASE HERE, cause you got/get them from your other account blaine.

Yup he lost 40k UUs on me as well, and about 400 sheilds on MS to take the 12b naq.
Yes Nitro, lol you're a real peach. You've been sucking for a long, long time on Quantum and now you've decided to cheat to compete with those of us who know how to play, huh?
A real smartass
