You know how I took my friends account and banned the other one. Is there any way to get rid of the login cookie on my other account?

Cheating?
blitzkreig-2
Russia sounds off with offensive messages to e at the start. France offers support to me (england) to take russia down. However france stabs. Now russia has revealed that he and france are close friends in real life and planned it all out from the start. This is metagaming isn't it? How can I report this kind of thing, and can someone check that they are not also doing it elsewhere?

Just for your reference WarM, however, even if they are metagaming they probably won't be punished. Metagaming is not against the rules of this site at present.

To quote the FAQ - as I have done before: "Meta-gaming is usually frowned on, but is acceptable in some cases and not seen as being as bad as multi-accounting."
Ivo_ivanov (7545 D)

@Jamiet99uk

1. What you wrote is simply not true. Obviously metagaming is a lesser offense compared to multi-accounting - but it does not mean it can't get you banned. The problem is it's much harder to prove and, by definition, metagaming falls in the gray area - so it has to be blatant.

2. Even though what you're saying has some ground, stating that metagaming is not against the rules on this site is plain wrong and not that smart really. You want to encourage more people to do it, discourage people from trying to stop it, or what?

@Jamiet99uk
Let's look at the quote from the FAQ "... is acceptable in some cases..."
Clearly since metagaming is "acceptable" in only some cames, the FAQ implies that in some other cases it must be unacceptable.
What makes you think that in this case the metagaming falls into the "acceptable" category?
I think this is exactly the sort of metagaming that should be discouraged as it is unfair and goes completely against the spirit the game and of this site. Imagine if this happened in every game? I wouldn't play here if it did.

It might be that I have misinterpretted your post. If so I apologize. I think the OP is right to express his concerns though.

@Jamie - You have been told by the mods that, despite your repeated quoting from the FAQ, metagaming of this nature is unacceptable and may get you banned. This is not a democracy. This is a private site and they can choose to ban your ass for anything they like. There is no appeals process or court of law here. You play here at the good graces of Kestas and the mods (sounds like a 50s rock and roll group).
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
07 Jul 09 UTC
@spyman and Ivo: I was just making WarM aware that as it stands people rarely get banned just for metagaming and it is not specifically illegal under the site's rules. A lot of people seem to believe that you will get banned for metagaming.

I actually think that the site's rules on this sort of thing should be tightened, and made much clearer. Clearly what the players in WarM's game did is annoying, and poor form, but they should not be banned for it.
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
07 Jul 09 UTC
@Draug: The problem is that these threads - in which mods say various things about metagaming - inevitably drop off the forum and may not be seen by new players, whereas the FAQ is always there.

Clearly the FAQ needs updating.
WarM (452 D)
07 Jul 09 UTC
thanks guys for the discussuin... are the mods able to see the in game messages at all, i guess that in this case it willprovide evidence...
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 09 UTC
Only Kestas can, unfortunately, but he can be bribed (or cajolled or harrased or convinced or...) to look at it and confirm your statements if time allows him to.

"Clearly the FAQ needs updating."

Whatever the argument about metagaming, this is true.
Draugnar (0 DX)
07 Jul 09 UTC
Absolutely true. No argument. It needs to layout that going into games with unbreakable alliances before hand is a bannable offense when it can be proven AND that a person's posts (even in private press) can and will be used against them for purposes of proving meta intent.

@laughomatic
Lots of people care actually. Pre-game collusion is the scurge of games like Diplomacy or Risk. It can take weeks to play a game of diplomacy - no body wants play with cheats - what a waste of time.
The other thing is that perhaps sometimes new players may not realize that this is strongly disapproved of - threads like this let people know where the community stands on the issue.

The Ashes
Anyone else watching? Any predictions?

England definitely recovered well from their terrible start, but if they're leading now it's not by much. A solid partnership here would be a big problem, and we're not bowling well at all at the moment :-(
