Smart people used math and broke Keno winning 100s of billions in the process. The rest of us paid.
Technically that's not cheating though, they're not taking advantage of a problem with the game (pooball-style cheating), or a problem with the server being rubbish (like the thing with multiple attacks on the same MAPs.) They're just being smart.

I guess I shouldn't have been hopeful. After all, TCW knows how BK treats its former allies, they can't want that for themselves.
22 minutes ago, Inst said:Basically, this is an incredibly ambiguous thread. On one hand, Sphinx has indicated that TCW has given BK 72 hours notice, without specifying what it's about. On the other hand, Sphinx has indicated that he looks forward to a future relationship with BK.

In other words, the OP is ambiguous enough that information in it could be construed both ways. However, what is definite is:
-Gorge is no longer princess of The Commonwealth and a new candidate must be elected.
-TCW will fight alongside BK for the rest of the war.
The second statement could also be interpreted liberally.
Definition of alongside
(Entry 1 of 2)
1: along the side : in parallel position2: at the side : close bya guard with a prisoner alongsideDefinition of alongside (Entry 2 of 2)
1a: along the side ofthe boat docked alongside the pierb: BESIDE sense 1standing alongside me2a: in company withmen she has been working alongside— Richard Halloranb: in addition toa special category alongside the awards it annually presents— Horizonhttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alongside
I.e, this can be read as a DoW on BK as well.
====
In either case, only BK and TCW know exactly what the 72 hours is referring to, and I'd like to think they also understand the intended use of alongside.
Clearly the use of alongside is supposed to refer to a plan by TCW to closely accompany any and all BK ship movements.

Why not? That must be very sad for you. I advise you fix that terrible situation.

I think in Discord i've repeatedly discussed potential exploits in Keno (i.e, pooball x 10,000,000, when the peak income from broken Keno is 500,000,000,000).
It's possible that Keno HAS been broken and it's been taken down as a consequence. There have been no official comments on Keno, hence it can be assumed that the removal of Keno is an emergency fix, which implies the discovery of a game-breaking exploit.
TL;DR: blame Inst

Thank you, I will send this to everyone who ever criticises me for my own drunk posting.

What we're seing is the alliance that meant death for CN giving this game a taste of that lovely medicine. IMHO the stalling with regards peace, the fact they are completely refusing to negotiate with T$ (regularly scheduled reminder to coalition b that your treaties with NPO mean nothing to them), and their total failure to explain their actions is proof positive of the lack of respect that they show for their fellow players.

Damn, this is still going on? Why don't you just make peace already so food prices drop to 58 PPU?

I didn't attack because of obligations, I attacked because I like to kill things. Killing things is fun.

The right to keep and bear arms is a central point of my libertarian philosophy. For this reason I have kept arms and used them to destroy over 1500 of your infra, more than 70k of your soldiers, thousands of tanks and hundreds of your aircraft. Please continue to allow me the fun of expressing myself in this enjoyable way.

Everyone in this war is all on one side. They're sad that they learnt allowed to join Farksphere, and so are beating each other up over it claiming that someone else must be to be blame. We pray they might get better.

So, reading this thread tells me one thing:
Disband. Everybody disband.

Col A and Col B leadership all want to join Fark. This is their protest over not being allowed to join fark, in the hope that the hand of friendship will be extended towards them.

I'm not sure you can surrender without talking to the people you're surrendering to

Since you're saying it, I can indeed confirm that he must have done nothing right. Whoever he is.

Good luck, your last alliance tried to merge with ours and then got couped.

What I'd like to know is exactly what people think that they have to gain by attacking random former nova members, whether or not they were in gove it really doesn't matter. The fact is, this came as a surprise to us all, I was informed about it by Inst and I'm pretty sure that everybody who was not banned was informed about it in a way that was not Pooball telling them what was going on in a shady backroom meeting. People attacking former nova members are not attacking people who decided to cheat, they are attacking people who are attempting to move on from an alliance that for many has been home for months collapsing in a matter of 2 days, for reasons tthat they could never have predicted. It's neither right nor just to ever drive innocent people out of a game.

Seeker, if I was going to spend time making up lies to slander people with, I would pick a considerably better target than you. I have nothing more to say to you, because I don't want to get into flaming territory.

Hello everyone,
I know this has been shared publicly, so I thought it best to apologise now. At the time of the cheating being exposed, I made several comments on the Nova discord implying that I either didn't care about the cheating or endorsed it. Had I known about the scale of what was going on, I would not have made these messages, as being unable to see screencaptures I thought it was a small amount, and people were making something of a fuss over nothing. Knowing what I know now, my reaction would have been very different.
I do not endorse the actions of Pooball and anybody else who may have participated in, aided, or knew about the cheating while failing to report this, and I am sorry that I made these prior statements regarding a situation I fundamentally misunderstood, at a time when I was highly stressed in politics and war.

No.
First, setting up a voice chat everytime someone wants to verify would be extremely tedious and inefficient. I have no intentions of setting a precedent that that is an acceptable form of verification.
Second, it's not like by hearing their voices I can confirm their RL identities. If I had a multi, it would be pretty trivial to bug my brother to get onto a Discord voice chat and say a few words to clear me.
These reasons are why the Verification system is set up as it is, and why we require multiple Verifications (again, it would be pretty trivial to buy a friend to take a picture so I could get away with my multi account. It's less trivial to have them do it multiple times at regular intervals.)
I've got lots of pics of my boyfriend, I'm pretty sure I have enough to verify. Do I get a multi?

Again, it's optional. I don't like the process either, but some people really want to play with their families and friends on the same network without any restrictions. Short of requiring more personal information (a copy of government issued ID, credit card information, etc.) a picture is relatively simple and works.
And again, it is optional. No one has to do it. Two or more people can play the game, from the same network, without ever being Verified. However, if you do so, you can't help each other. You can't trade with each other. You can't use alliance banks to send funds to each other. You can't do anything that would allow a person with multis to gain an advantage from.
So if I was to set up a voice chat with both parties and you, would that set your mind at ease they're not the same person? Pictures can be messed with but I don't know anybody with the gift of being able to speak with two voices at the same time.
-
Not gonna lie, I find the verification procedure seriously concerning from a data protection standpoint. With how easy it is to find waaaaaaay too much information than I'd be comfortable sharing with someone I didn't know from a picture, I don't think it's fair or reasonable to expect people to provide several pictures of themselves.
1 minute ago, Alex said:Verification is optional. No one is required to be Verified, even people playing on the same network. However, if you're not Verified, you have to follow the Game Rules, which strictly state no form of helping / aiding / trading / etc. is allowed.
Generally, no. I understand that alliances distribute funds and have policies wherein funds are taxed and redistributed and whatnot.
However, using alliance banks as a workaround to avoid the automatic trade restrictions is a violation of the rules. And we know from the screenshot that they were working together to help each other, while on the same network, un-Verified.
It would have been impossible for him to do it himself given the automatic restrictions. Unless you're Verified, you'll get an error message if you try to withdraw funds from an alliance bank to another nation on your same network. They used a middleman nation to run the transactions because he wouldn't have been able to do so himself. And from the screenshot, we know exactly what the intention was.
Have Pooball and Blink merged in the months between enitially verifying then?

Them being a multi is irrelevant. Being unverified and circumventing trade limitations and this action's status as breaking the rule does not depend on your status as a multi, merely on your being on the same net-work.
For the majority of the time they're not on the same network though, only when they're at work, so it's the being a multi that'important here.

Why would he have gone through the whole act of asking his other discord account for a loan if they were the same person?
Bring back Keno

Sorry? It is against the spirit of the game to...be good at the game?
