Speaking of cheating accusations....
New strategy found - Meta gaming

I have posted a request 3x to moderators to look into a game thru link to do within the game - is there any suggestions on a better way to do? are moderators overwhelmed with requests (so many new players wth 100 pts that its hard to believe they are all legit ; not sure how to stop)

I cannot find any such request in ModForum. Where did you post it?

Perhaps it was posted as a "Relationship".

I wrote 3x using the 'making a cheating accusation/ button within the game - and one time to the moderator site. I don't know how else to proceed .. the game is unfortunately proceeding without being looked into but oh well

In sorting the games by 'time to next phase' - 'descending' it is easier to find the games that are played. But I could not find the game Bladerunners refers to.

Very funny. There is this game that ended in 2033 :O

By "the moderator site", I wonder if you somehow found the ancient dev forum?

Edit: No, it looks like http://forum.webdiplomacy.net/ has been down for years.

All resolved now as a moderator contacted me. Just strange the links within games not working to contact moderators. Appreciated the response once i posted here of course. Cheers
