Possible Multi, Suspicious behaviour

Basically i had a planet stolen by 16446, i try to take back but the defences were too high. Fair enough i leave it be.

I then about 4 hours later and another planet stolen by 36866 and 4 minutes after that another by 1918043.
I sent a threatening message to the last one to pay for the planet or ill act on it. I then get a reply from not that account but the first one who stole one saying not to threaten small accounts.

Main points:
2 planets stolen within 4 minutes
messages recieved from the first attacker, not the one i sent the message too

It would be appreciated if this could be looked into.
Cheers

Often this is a fair tactic, get a bunch of people to clean planets within minutes.

This maybe someone selling your planets, the first guy from FS and then OSL, i cant see them working together just to take planets, the 3rd guy is very random, a friend/ family member maybe, espically for the first guy to PM you, but given that, he says not to threaten smaller players, mmmm then said smaller player shouldnt try take on a big player, we call that suicide.

I dont believe them to be selling the planets seeing as i have been consistantly ranked inside the top 1500 with minimal defence and i haven't seen any posts about them. Its suspect because the 2 steals were so close together, just enough time to log off, log in, build fleets and steal planet!!!
Then i recieve a message from a person who isn't even the commander of the person i threatened.

I just think it should be looked into

Perhaps they are friends, and the smaller player send a PM to the first player to ask for his help, or they had a MSN convo.

I don't know, but it doesn't mean they are cheaters/multi's.


But still it can't hurt if admin had a look at this.

Another point of interest is that i have been sending messages between both parties, every time a message is sent from them to me. One sends first and then within 5 minutes of that another message from teh other is recieved.

Can this please be looked at, because i am now being sabbed by the stronger of the 2, however i haven't sent him a message or attacked him in about 5 days!!!

Another possible addition to the multies is id 103592
Reason: 13:08 ?????? Sabotage Infiltrated 14,000 details
13:08 zocko Sabotage Repelled 1,400 details
13:08 ?????? Sabotage Infiltrated 14,000 details
09:37 ?????? Sabotage Infiltrated 14,000 details
*Editted out 10 Sabs
09:36 zocko Sabotage Repelled 1,400 details
09:36 ?????? Sabotage Infiltrated 15,000 details

Compare that with these two hits
13:08 ShadowSiR 1,214,054,685 Naquadah stolen 15 0 141 *** *** details
09:42 ShadowSiR 1,568,932,209 Naquadah stolen 15 0 151 *** *** details

I believe that such close proximity between the attacks and sabs is another suspicious act.

Cheers and please look into this

Sounds very suspicious to me as well. Especially with all the attacks added on top of it.

Hello lizzrd11120,

I took a look at this earlier this week and did not find any evidence of multi activity.
Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

I have read you messages since and will take another look.
