Just a head up guys, actually got nothing personnaly against you...
But I think you need to understand that YES, doing strat action for someone else because they are busy in real life IS what got you ban. No it's not less worse than having 2 account for one person. It's still cheating...
Everyone got a life too around here, when the right person isn't online do move some critical stuff or else... we're boned like everyone should be... Why should you guys had a free pass over that?
First, i think it is less of an offense than having two accounts. We weren't EXPLOITING anything, we weren't mass producing weapons, goods, troops, gear, etc. that someone with two accounts would. Second, none of us knew it was cheating, we didn't play strat during the atrocities of the greys, and only started playing at the end of strat 3. If you are a clan leader, i think that part of that is helping people understand strat and helping them if they are in a jam is part of your duty; it's just a shame that the community does not. Here is what Cheat actually means and we didn't violate any of this. You're going to say "oh look at 1b" and i'm going to say look at our global ban post when we found out we were banned. none of us knew of a violation and were forthcoming with the information to help clarify the situation.
