When I said "other factions", CYCON.......

You started that thread...

And there have been several "we like you" messages between the CyCon and Hive on the general forum, but we never seriously and secretly tried to negotiate a pact.

Do you admit you are one? (As for the definition of "netrat" I refer to that thread where you were accused of being some American teenager instead of some Russian middle-aged man.)

Do we need a United Nations World Court to deal with cheaters like Tassadar? (Or I guess GooglieGod could just strike him down with a blizzard or so.

)

Tass. I don't like people who try to cheat, or who try to coerce me into cheating. You earned the block. Live with it.

Ask GooglieGod if I've cheated. My information is obtained simply by keeping a keen ear on what people say in the public forums

I've already explained my methods of obtaining information. Check (well, have googliegod) check the hive forums. I've done no cheating.

Someones doing a Guilt by Association

What could I do? Load up the scenario editor?

(This isn't fair! 2 people are ganging up on me

That doesn't mean anything with the three decyphering codes I tried on it.

I think the question whether you are who you claim you are is something that interests everyone who talks to you on this forum.

And you know what my response will be. My response will be that nearly everything I say about myself online will be an accurate represetation of me.

Again, if you'd like, we can communicate through MSN about this (It's much faster. It may not have the +1s, but its faster). The log is yours to do with as you please.

The sleeping meds haven't quite kicked in yet, so....Nows the perfect time

I don't see how that would prove your identity. The best method would be an "inquisition" of Russians on this forum who would ask you questions only a Russian would know.

Btw, for anyone interested, this is the thread I was talking about, and this is a netrat.

Nothing can prove my identity short of meeting me IRL.

I'll probably be on for another hour or two. If you change your mind...

To a moderator,

Could someone delete this thread.
All of it.
I don't feel many people have really thought through what they've started and said here.

I second the proposal.

finally the rest of the hive arrived to end the idiocy of one of their members

Snowflake · June 30, 2003, 23:51

I personally will not characterize Comrade Tass as being "cheating". He may have been role playing to a bit extreme, but I do believe that is all he did. In fact we are all guilty of using him to do our own role playing also. I would like to ask every one of us to refrain from mixing RL bashing with game role playing.

There has been no in-game contact between factions who have not yet met in the game (tech trading, map exchanges, etc)

Obviously, I am not privy to what might transpire in chat rooms, PMs, e-mails etc where alliances might be disussed and screenshots saved and pasted and sent to other faction members. However, in the Private Forum discussion threads there is no mention of such shennanigans.

Statements in the faction newsletters and bulletins are there for all to read. I cannot comment on their truth or accuracy, whether they are fact or propaganda or misinformation.

I believe that Tass, in contacting Archaic, breached the "no contact before in-game meeting", and full credit to Archaic for adopting the honorable highroad. I have seen no evidence of "other factions doing it"

And interestingly, as of a few moments ago, Tass is not even listed as a Hive member (indeed, Hive numbers have fallen from 22 of a week or so ago to 19 now)

And I have no moderator powers to padlock or remove a contentious thread.

Googlie, how about another installment in "The View From Above"?

Too much energy + Lotsa medications + Sleep Deprivation = "Call the Courts!!!! The Looniversity is GOIN DOWN!!!!"

Sorry for all the trouble I've caused. But one must admit it does lighten the forums up

Um....I'm taking a break from the ACDG, for obvious reasons

You can still find me in the Poly OT, however. The madness will never end.

Drogue · July 1, 2003, 09:50

Voltaire: Quite simply, there seems to have been a few breaches of the no diplomatic contact between factions before they meet in game. I think there is a grey area and a fine line between the "We love your faction" and "great newsletter, we have much in common" posts/PMs/emails, and the "we hope to have an alliance when we meet" posts/PMs/emails. I think we need Googlie to make a thread stating what is and what is not allowed, so that well all know what the rules are.

Snowflake · July 1, 2003, 10:46

I second Drogue's post. We all have to be careful not to cross the fine line. While it is alright to say "we'll become more powerful when we merge with our most trustworthy friend faction(s)" since this is not an actual proposal aimed toward a specific faction, it is not ok to say "it is our intention to join force with you when we meet" before we actually meet each other in the game.

Edit: Just read GooglieGod's rule on the game parameter thread. Looks like the "it is our intention to join force with you when we meet" line is ok if it is not contained in a PM, email or chat room conversation.
