I've been caught by an IG and the solution was to pod the player that did it. Waiting on the sysOp to come address the problem and lose hours of cashing really isn't an option. Players can IG someone accidently when alien capping, but to do it continually in my opinion is a rule violation, and one that can't be proved.


Actually it can be proved, you should recieve a comp message stating ur held in IG. Just don't delete ur mail and have SysOp refer to it for his evidence. That way it kills the whole "he doctored it" theory. I had to use that recently in another game and worked just fine. 6 IGs over 4 hrs time.


Thanks for the info on that. I had never considered the server mail log before.

After reading this I thought I would just put in my experience with truce games.  The main problem I have seen is someone always says oops I didn't mean to do that or I didn't know etc etc and if you are not constantly at keys to take care of a problem no matter how simple it may be it usually has some effect on game play as missed time or turns in cashing or coloing.  Then you start banning or giving them a timeout they will never come back anyway.
Usually there will be one player who is always looking to bend the rules no matter how strict the rules are and then it spoils it for everone.
Ok with that in mind I did make a truce game that has taken most things into consideration and eliminates a lot of the problems but not fool proof.  If only i could edit a few more things it would be great and maybe that will happen someday.(LOL)
If someone would like to run the game I would be more than willing to give them the twa and help them out as it does have a few things that need to happen at end of truce. I did have aliens set to be active but as of know I don't as it brought up a few more problems and when i get some time i think i could make it work.
I should also mention I myself have never played a truce game and really have no desire to as it usually turns out beeing who ever has best script comes out on top   I might also mention instead of having a truce why not just give everyone a few billion creds and some L6 planets at game start and then let everyone go at it from there.  That way you could use about any edit out there.
Ok Post is long enough

I'd like to see your edit.  Hit me on ICQ sometime, but you'd have to email the edit to me. 
You might also be onto something with your max credits l6 planet approach.  I got to put some thinking power into that one, but my thinker is to tired tonight

You've asked me not to cross post, but well you brought this up from my board now didn't you.  Then you go back to my board and edit and remove your comment so I can't prove you wrong, so it's your word against mine, and I'm not really worried about it.

Darn.. and I just bought those!
Yep, I guess they can indeed be typed and passed on to the sysop can't they.  I never said you did, I just said I couldn't rely on those caps as proof unless they came from maybe two seperate players.

Like I said, I'm wasting my time with you, and I'm done.  Quit trying to make yourself look stupid by attacking my character, and I'll quit defending myself.



ROFL Another walk down memory lane. Pay special attention to page 5 of this thread.

I'd like to think I am a DisCerning person. I know the difference between cheating and rule breaking. Cheating = using a user's account (not your own) on a server in a tourney. Rule breaking = violating a truce.

I just wish the smack forum was still available. That's where all the good stuff was concerning this Cerne character. LAFF

I don't DisCern it that way. Rule breaking happens if the game mechanics allow something but the sysop has created a rule forbidding it. Cheating happens when someone exploits a flaw the game mechanics or server. (flooding/lagging the server, using another's game account in a tourney, etc) That is what i am DisCerning.
