Title: Nords have seen the light!
Post by: Mike_of_Kingswell on November 02, 2012, 11:29:29 pm
Hear Hear Hear!
Weeks ago I would not have thought this day would come but after several Grey Order players (and other UIF members) got baned for being multiaccounting in Strategus this is what my tired eyes see:

http://c-rpg.net/index.php?pagebattlesupcoming#!?page=battledetail&id=1173

I even read Andswaru, leader of the Kingdom of the Nords, saying the following regarding multiaccounting.
I would say most who are caught deserve it and I hope they are perma banned and consigned to crpg hell, (...)


So this battle CAN only mean one thing.
Or....Well basicly it can mean two things:

1) Either Nords are helping out their buddys saving equipment that is now stuck on banned multiaccounts. So they basicly sanction the multiaccounting of their allys and help them out of the bad situation this multiaccounting brought them into.

2) OR Nords have seen the light and turn their backs on multiaccounting cheating (former) allys to fight them in the name of all that is good!

And since we all know Nords as highly moral, fighting for the just cause and gernerally good people this can basicly ONLY mean the second option.

Thus I want to use this thread to give my thanks to Andswaru and the Nords for seeing the light and not supporting cheating and multiaccounting.
I know its hard to break with allys, partners and friends but it takes real greatness to do so - knowing you do it for a just cause and you no longer support multiaccounters and their actions!

I am very disappointing in Andswaru and crew.

Helping cheaters cheat is just as bad as cheating itself.

For many strategus you Nords have got a lot of gold and resources from your cheater friends, just topped by that teacher story.

I am amazed.

When I saw that battle I thought its just a fief transfer. And I still believe this. There's no light up there in the north.

Especially since Nords always make a big effort to let themselfs be seen in the right light, to take the moral highgrounds.
But since I guess this move can in no way be explained (but in the obvious one: supporting cheaters) there wont be a Nord statement in this thread.

Thats one way to deal with stuff like that: ignor it until you dont have to deal with it anymore. Thing is: stuff like that is sticky and will leave a bad taste in my mouth for quite a while whenever I think about the Nords :/

As multiaccounting is considered cheating in this game, I don't think any Nordman actually supports it. I can't and don't state any official stuff said by the Nordmen, so this is my opinion. Fuck cheaters.

This is also our offical position.
We attacked this village simply before the "other side" could. Nothing more nothing less. Unless of course by moral highground you think I should of let (insert enemy faction here) take all the equip for themselves?

I agree with his and we'r on the same page here.

So its perfectly fine with you to profit from the mutliaccounting of you allies? You see THATS where we disagree and where I see the problem. Not multiaccounting yourself but still gaining from the multiaccounting of others is still kind of shady in my eyes.

I don't think any Nordman actually supports it.
...yet profits from others doing it...

€: And just to clear something out: I like Nords. You have some nice members and I respect your skills in the game. Hell some of you even became Fallens...I just dont like to have to see Nords being part in this shady doings. Makes me feel bad to see a old respected clan being connected to something like this.

So you mean we made profit from a clan where we absolutely had no idea if they were actually multiaccounting or not? So that is too bad that it happened, what can we do about it? What is done is done...

There is absolutely no way how to find out who is cheating because:
During the whole investigation not a single player name was known, you all were numbers.

You see, when "Harpag and 100 keys" was banned I'm fairly sure we'd think that multi accounting has stopped there, but "Yea but they PROBABLY are multiaccounting" is not a valid reason to stop trading with any clan.

You can keep on trying to shout at us with your "Moral high ground" but honestly we all here know that this forum only has idiots after strategus has rotten their brains. And made fun in-game wars, actual personal hatred for eachother.  :wink:

Post by: Tyr_ on November 03, 2012, 02:52:32 pm
After a short period of being good friends with Union and now having several spies within UIF we got it confirmed over and over that they are multiaccounting. And even without this, are you really so naive to think that they stopped it after Harpags 100 keys got banned, but he still is allowed to play? I mean that basicly says that you don't get punished for doing it, this was encouraging other to do the same imo.

What I don't understand is how you still can defend them. I don't think that Nords are Multiaccounting or cheating in any way, thats why i always wanted to have good relations to you, but how can you still be on their side after you now got proof?
As it was said earlier, supporting cheaters and multiaccounters in any way is as bad as doing it by yourself. What you do with attacking a Village who's owner is banned for cheating is basicly the same that Fallens did last strategus to lock their fief down for another 24 hours.
You support their cheating by saving the armies they brought into it.

It would be only fair if there would be an army of flying carpets wiping out this army too like hit happened to fallens in the last strategus.

Post by: Mongolista on November 03, 2012, 02:56:54 pm
fun in-game wars turn to personal hatred when one of the sides stops playing fair and tries to get an advantage by not playing strictly legal...
Also I have to say the probability of the ban wave technology being correct seems pretty high since I actually played at my brothers home on his IP few times as well as I got new computer and was playing with my brother from our home when he was still living with us back then and I basically got through all the scenarios and experienced the same situations the Greys (and other random people) give on the unban thread as reasons for getting Banned in the first place and I did not get banned. My brother plays M&B with his other room-mates all of them from the same IP, each of them buying their own product key, having their own account - they did not get banned. Seems like legit players have nothing to worry about.
This only brings me to the conclusion the Greys who got banned (what a coincidence they got banned in past as well) are banned justly and thus cooperating with such ppl makes one sick. I understand Nords do not wish the equip to get in the wrong hands, but unjust enrichment stays unjust enrichment and thus if you have at least any "moral ground" then PLEASE destroy (sell for very low price or trash it) all of what you get in that castle that has been gained through multiaccounting a.k.a. cheating.

I don't know man, you keep mentioning you got spies and you got proof & all but this thread:
http://forum.meleegaming.com/global/strategus-multiaccounting-unban-thread/

is to unban multiaccounters who, according to the players themselves, have been banned unfairly, so I'll await the chadz/Meow decision before we can see the true numbers of real multiaccounters banned. It will take a while.  :)

I'm definitely against cheating in any sort of way, but I'm also tired of constantly seeing how everyone has to twist the neck of some players, who most likely are banned unfairly.

Truth be told, I wouldn't mind allying with anyone as long as we have fun, but I don't like that the hate is spreading into personal hate. (Truth be told, I had some arguments come to my neck sometimes which may indeed have gotten me to personally hate some people, but it is decreasing.  :) )

Also, the attacking of villages is indeed to take their stuff before the enemy does it without problems, because we're not sure yet if the people banned will stay banned, are we?

I've been worried about the same thing. I've been playing cRPG with my cousin and one of my friends at my place many times. Sometimes we've also been playing at my cousin' or my friends place. When I saw people getting banned for playing with the same IP I was afraid of a ban, since we never took any precautions. Neither my cousin, my friend or I has ever been banned.

Maybe you better include me, because I stand behind my clan's decisions and I was always fine with having Greys and UIF as allies as they're friendly players and I always enjoyed being in Grey/DRZ/Union battles.

After all this is just a game and as long as it wasn't proven that people used multiaccounts, there was nothing bad about supporting them. And still, if our leaderships decides to be still allied with Greys, that will not be a reason for me to leave or take a step away.

Maybe I was premature with this post.

We'll see what you guys have to say after the verdicts are finalized.

Also "friendly" players? Maybe for someone on the inside, but outsiders are treated like dirt. It's easy to see only what is convenient.

How can you say the gold/gear you have now werent made from ONE of the multi-accounts ?
Everyone is in the same world, connected to each other.

And if eastern front had attacked first, how would this be fair ?  :rolleyes:


By this logic noone should ever touch Mechin and other stucked fiefs/chars for fear of being CORRUPTED ???

Everything in strategus is there for the TAKING if one has the power to do so.
If devs wanted to wipe, reset, erase fiefs/chars that were stuck they would have done so.



Flawed logic is the rule in strategus drama  :lol:



Dont be mad because your enemies are saving what can be saved, and fight them in battles not in useless moralistic topics like this; and I say this while being a part of the cold front alliance and would have been definitely happy if Nords joined our side  :P

And another round of battles of DRZ vs DRZ,  and GO vs GO.
Save all your ill gotten gains ;)

Gurnisson: For our side its pretty even at this moment. We started an attack on DRZ in the desert and failed. But on the other side we also managed to hunt their armies (+ grey order + the empire) down who came into the other side of the desert.

As stated above I just think that supporting multiaccounting the way the Nords do it at this moment is still bad enough. Not as bad as multiaccounting yourselfs but almost as bad.
Your actions speak for you and atm they say "its ok to multiaccount".

Post by: Mongolista on November 03, 2012, 04:13:34 pm
Why would you attack the banned's friendly castle if you knew they are innocent and getting soon back? is it really worth to lose all of those population/army? I maybe understand Mechin and Tosdar as these are at the edge of Greys territory and its a matter of hours till the enemy takes over, but ryibelet castle is in the heart of Greys territory and so there's no such hurry in controlling this one asap, wouldn't it be wiser to wait till they unban these "innocent" Greys as you call them?

In my eyes both Nords and Greys know the banned Grey members are not getting back as they all knew about these multiaccounts and nobody gave a shit. Nobody gives a shit even now, they don't really care they caught the cheaters, they are just gonna take over the lost fiefs and continue in their corrupted greedy way of playing strategus. I don't really think Nords have seen any light as they probably knew about the multiaccounts, I just hope Admins will keep up the good work to make the strategus cheaters-free and give a nice disciplinary example for those who weren't caught during the first wave to stop cheating or those who are thinking about doing the same.

Gre(ed)y Order finally got their justice and strategus once again seems to be a nice place to stay:)

Yeah because we just loooooooooooooooooooove multi accounting stupid.

That's why we've been caught using them so many times, that's why we've been caught cheating so many times, or wait. Look inwards before you look outwards.

Multi accounting is in no way a one sided affair, a lot of people are just better at hiding it -- because there is no BLACK & WHITE way of detecting ALL of it -- a grey area, no pun intended.
There is even people who abuse their family members or loved ones in order to hide multiple accounts. It is both sad and pathetic, but regretfully seen in plenty of games.

You know what is just as bad as multi accounting Mike? CHEATING, which your clan have done and were subsequently punished for. What tons of clans did the last Strategus but were never punished for (duping as if their life depended on it but still failed). Guess how much Nords have cheated, oh, just never. We never even abused any mechanics such as night time, we never attacked outside our own territory at a late hour or morning. We never went around spreading lies and disinformation on IRC and other IM's trying to convince people of this and that fabricated bs. We never kept anything in Strategus we did not fairly win (e.g. bugs and otherwise, we always sought a fair deal). Now look at your clan's history, and your friends' clans. Then shut the fuck up, would you 8-).

Wow, aren't you pure angels who have never done anything wrong or in any way benefited from any bugs. Did you also give Mercs that castle that they won in a fair siege, but didn't transfer ownership due to bugs?

Now look at your clan's history, and your friends' clans. Then shut the fuck up, would you 8-).

Are you really saying that if a clanmember of mine has ever done something wrong, I can't comment at all on wide scale exploiting? Really?

Post by: Mongolista on November 03, 2012, 04:53:22 pm
Arguments ad personam here we go, make a new topic and blame mike for everything he did in the past, he's just stating obvious, which is: Nords + Greys = Alliance -> Grey's use cheats to get stronger in strategus -> Nords stay in alliance with Greys, they even get one of the cheaters castle with all equip in it (cough did you say you get all your gear fairly? cough) -> Nords do not mind their allies cheating (not to mention themselves profiting in such situation) -> Nords may not themselves cheat but they don't mind others cheating (which as a matter of fact is supporting cheating (if you have known about the Greys multiacc situation - which I really hope you did not))

Mike was actually hoping you guys are better than that, with this topic he just wanted to see what is the state between you and the cheaters after the cheaters were found out....and you go full rage on him, I think he doesn't really have to say anything, you have proven yourself with the actions, nobody is hating you, nobody is accusing you of cheating, but they sure will think twice about your honour and grace and dignity and whatever else you are promoting next time. This is actually your fight much more than his, in fact he wanted to prove you guys are better than you really are...

so cheating is bad, we all understand that and seem to agree on that. Then there are those who either ignore or even encourage it, don't saying Nords would be part of that at all
taking equipment so the enemy doesn't get it, good move in a strategic sense, i would have done the same only so the enemy doesn't get it and in that i wouldn't give a flying fuck how this equipment was payed for, aslong the enemy doesn't have it. So gyus don't meassure with two standards.

I am but more for the flying carpets to engage in an amount now depending on convicted members of what ever faction.

For everyone who stays banned of one faction after carefully looking into those cases, calculate the % of those to the overall faction members, perhaps add some % as the more there are in one faction the more likely the leaders knew and supported this multiaccounting. Then use those calculated % to get a related amount of fiefs attacked by flying carpets. Punishment over, discussion over, get on with your lives.

Well isn't that because your clan was only really present in last strategus as an actual force, and then you had plenty of allies to do any exploiting / multi accounting for you.I see it as guilty by association unfortunately.

I also agree no major faction is innocent in strat, either a their own guilt or profiting from the guilt of others.   Aint nobody innocent in calradia.

Whoa now easy, sperg mode is full on in this thread. If Nords didn't know the Grey Order/Union was multiaccounting, then they are not guilty. No one but them can know that for sure really. Like Thovex said, they did not want to not want to play with them based on assumption that they might still be multiaccounting.

What is certain though is that Grey Order/Union had some members multi accounting. Catch is, can we blame the Grey Order/Union as a clan for that? I believe so. Because there is just no fucking way, not even a single percent that the leaders and active start players of the Grey Order/Union did not figure out that some of their members are multiaccounting. Were those members encouraged by their leaders to do that? Probably, but we can't know that. One things sure, they did not do a single thing about it, so for that both the people multi accounting and Grey Order/Union as a whole is guilty as fuck. Will they kick/ban them from their clans now for the purpose of trying to restore their damaged reputation? Most probably not, because they don't give a fuck if they play fair or not, they want to win strategus and then brag on the internet on how they can manage their trades better or some similarly stupid shit like that.

Also Cooties, you cannot really compare our "cheating" to massive multiaccounting. As far as I know (I might not be informed enough), our worst crime was attacking our own fief to lock it down from being attacked, which was a completely retarded move by some of our members (or one), and I still condemn that action today. That's hardly comparable to multiaccounting actions in every strat. But the point is, even if we'd have some of our members multiaccounting and found out, we'd ban them. If we kept it silent and trying to hide it like GO/Union does and if I found out, then I'd crap on Fallen leaders head and say my goodbye, you have my word here and now.

You know what is just as bad as multi accounting Mike? CHEATING, which your clan have done and were subsequently punished for.
Indeed cheating is bad but just as vibe said:

I would call it exploiting at the most (and that this exploit was possible was reported to the devs weeks before loki used it - which still doesnt make that move OK). It has been discussed in this forum often enough that my opinion (and everyone elses) on this should be clear.

Maybe I touched a sore spot there because you do seem mad about it. Or maybe you got me wrong so here again to help you calm down:

(click to show/hide)
In no way did I ever accuse the Nords of multiaccouting or cheating themselfs. All I say in here is that in my honest opinion you are knowingly profiting of your allies cheating.
As Vibe elabotated I personally dont think its possible that some UIF clans did not know about the multiaccouting of their members. And with a lot of them getting banned I cant see you - as the nords- being blind to the multiaccouting of your close allies.
The fact that you seem to accept this is what I wanted to discuss in this thread.

And if you cant talk civil about this
Then shut the fuck up, would you 8-).
Even with Jack Nicholson being a great actor .gif's never help in a serious topic and this one just shows me how mad you seem to be about it.

Especially as a "global moderator" you should lead by example and not go rampage on a topic that discusses things you dont like.
I try to keep my posts civil and I expect the same courtesy from you. Thanks!

I am but more for the flying carpets to engage in an amount now depending on convicted members of what ever faction.

For everyone who stays banned of one faction after carefully looking into those cases, calculate the % of those to the overall faction members, perhaps add some % as the more there are in one faction the more likely the leaders knew and supported this multiaccounting. Then use those calculated % to get a related amount of fiefs attacked by flying carpets. Punishment over, discussion over, get on with your lives.

This.

What is the point in banning Multiaccounters? They have proven often enough that they will just do it again and again, the only thing that will change is that they are getting more and more careful.
Fallen gets attacked by flying carpets for locking down one fief for 24 hours. One member attacking one fief.
And now we have a huge amount of persons that not even abused the game mechanics, but actually went to open cheating to gain an advantage, an advantage which is much bigger and far more gamebreaking than the lockdown of a fief.
The only thing that prevents people from cheatin/abousing is hard punishment, otherwhise just wait for the next steamsale when M&B is a 1,99€ for each Key.

Ps: If "a dark force" attacks an army, does the attacked one loot 25% of the used carpets and flamethrowers?  8-)

Guess how much Nords have cheated, oh, just never. We never even abused any mechanics such as night time, we never attacked outside our own territory at a late hour or morning. We never went around spreading lies and disinformation on IRC and other IM's trying to convince people of this and that fabricated bs. We never kept anything in Strategus we did not fairly win.

And since this seems to be of utter great importance to you just 2 battles that show whats going on:

Nords bailing out banned Grey Order multiaccounter:

DRZ bailing out banned DRZ multiaccoutner:

You are right saying you never cheated but as I said before with this you actively SUPPORT multiaccounters.
Now look at your clan's history, and your friends' clans.

I'm sure you'd like to feel that way, however I'm fairly sure after a ban wave of multiaccounters we're here on the resolving path, not on the backstabbing on first sight path.

And yes I'm sure you'd like to see the gear gone, and not in our hands, don't try to fool yourself.  :wink:

Nords attacking these fiefs means you are accepting/trasnferrring gear obtained from cheating, whereas if their enemies had atatcked, at the very least the few members not banned can hire a roster and actually have a battle, thats not cheating.  Shame on you Nords for fucking participating in cheating by laundering out all their equipment gained by cheating.  Your cheap semantics do not rationalize away the fact that you are cheating by using your cheating friends gear.  No moral high ground, just desperation now that all your big allies turn out to be really 3 guys (slight exaggeration), so you rationalize your own cheating.

That equipment should either be destroyed or left to be attacked by legitimate foes who can fight auto Ai roster who will have that gear or whoever the few remaining members desire to hire.  From now on Nords are at the same level as all the other cheaters, sold any integrity you had to grab gear and fiefs obtained by cheating.

The History of the Fallen locking down Dusturil.
1) This exploit was used by us after it was used against us. We reported it and the Devs. They ignored it and issued no warning to the first transgressors. 
http://forum.meleegaming.com/strategus-issues/faction-attacking-own-fief-to-prevent-counter-attack/
2) Loki freely admits in the forums we did this.
(click to show/hide)
3) Firebombing occurs
4) Fallen never does it again. Our example got other clans to stop using this glitch, until recently.
http://forum.meleegaming.com/strategus-general-discussion/astralis-vs-hospitaller-battles-(attacking-your-own-fiefs)/

UIF
1) Members get banned for multi-accounting. UIF leadership blatantly explains how to multi-account in the very same ban tread. (Still not sure how the Devs were cool with that?)

2) Members of the UIF get banned again for multi-accounting

also mike, its touchy because you are claiming  we shouldnt further our current actions, and if we do we are basicly cheating, thats the main message comming from you, ofc its touchy.... but everybody with abit of a brain sees you want more people to take on this perspective of yours, and are hoping we will submit to your logic

No! I draw a line between cheating and supporting cheaters.
IMO supporting cheaters or profiting from their actions is really bad but hell it aint cheating.
I dont want to quote myself again but its about the knowingly supporting of cheaters.

And of course I want people to see things from my perspective! Thats the reason why i pest my opinion in the first place. Thats the reason anyone posts his opinion in the first place.
But I wont sop you from posting YOUR opinion on this. And god knows if it explains your behaviour I might be happy and "shut the fuck up" as cooties wants me to.
But so far all I have seen is Andswaru playing the devils advocat, Cootis being less than civil and kinda mad and you being funny (you actually made me grin which is why I like your answer to this the most :) ! ).

cheating, supporting cheating kinda same smear in my book. you draw the conclusion that we are supporting cheating because we are doing the next logical step in strat, to keep our side of the war afloat. even you must be able to see the greater picture here. pestering the nords with supporting cheating is just childish at this point. you gave your oppinion , you got our oppinion. i think thats enough for now? do you? because seeing things form your perspective isnt hard and is different than forcing an oppinion down a thread.

I couldn't care less if Nords have seen the light or its was just someone's shiny sperm all over their faces blinding their vision, as the most of their massive roster (apart from few veteran exceptions) is made of scrotum suckers who were mostly joining the faction because it had chadz & cmp in it (their balls obviously got so dried out that they had to leave the faction or else they could never have children irl). I do, however, recall one particular name, that of the greatest defender of Polished Landscapes ever, a true Paladin of this community who devoted his time in this mod to protecting the innocent inhabitants of those Landscapes and acted as their greatest champion ever. I wonder if he saw the light or he still lives in darkness.

I am sorry. I didnt intend force my opinion on anyone. Thing is so far I have not received a satisfying answer. Because in my eyes the 'supporting cheating' part is exactly whats happening. And just because you guys dont like it doesnt change the facts I have so far.

Of course it will keep "your side afloat" but its not about the gear or tickets. Its about the act itself. At least for me it is. Gamestrategy wise it is the next logical thing to do. But is it the right thing to do?!

Ive got nothing to do with Fallen, not even with the Nords, I thought they are cool, yet, as a rational person I understand Mikes frustration because the act of keeping an alliance with bunch of cheaters is unforgivable, I understand Nords follow what their leader tells them to do, they are loyal to their leader, that is a good thing, but being blind and not even try to question such situation is either an act of stupidity, laziness or the acceptance of the leaders decision.

I also follow my leaders orders as I believe they are doing the best for the clan, but I always think about it, and Im pretty sure if my leader wanted me to stay in touch with a faction full of cheaters who get repeatedly banned once in a while for something, Id sure be against this, I do like the game system and I like to be the stronger one, but I enjoy getting there through the honest way. If I (or anybody else I am in touch with) get the advantage thanks to cheats and act like its normal, Im pretty sure I wouldnt enjoy the game one bit ;) This is your call, it is up to you, your fight and your reputation, just dont expect people to think nice about you after this. Thats all.
