I'd meant what he didn't share on the radio show. And that's even worse lol

What happened on the radio show? I did not hear it.

Are you originally from Earth, too?

I now own MinesomeMC's goat, too. It's starting to look like a herd.

Yep, it is a herd. Aldwulf has added his goat, too, and it ain't Irish.

Dates of screen shots: September
Date of public post regarding projects and likelihood of them existing: September - 

Date of original projects with price concepts: June 


When the actual project came out: February the following year. 

 

At one point in this Alex wanted to shift costs of these projects some, but at which point I reminded him some of the focus of these costs were targeted at resources which didn't have much demand - Oil for instance when I tested buying up the market and the resupply showed there was not much movement in that market so having another resource sink for that is a good thing. Ups demand and thus the supply.

 

tl;dr Prices of Satellite projects were made public in June 2019. They were talked about again in September 2019. They came out around the start of February 2020. And as Kev said, I was talking about these on radio shows. I also talked about them in PnW public discord where I also recommended people pay attention to the resources and cited the food spike of the City Development projects.

Getting immunity from being banned surely means that ur squeaky cleen and didn't break the rules, you are beyond reproach; without vice.
Jokes aside, so on a srs note; shut the frick up, bc you broke the rules, was going to get banned and that means you cheated.
Having immunity doesn't change the facts.
 

@Buck Turgidson sorry for taking the thread off-topic, please continue the retirement home drama :P

You are so silly, just I broke the rules, but not every rule is about cheating you know that at least I hope unless you are dumb.  However I have always said I broke the rules still do not mean I cheated little boy

The problem is not the suggestions but the regular updates and advice on what to buy and when. That is insider trading as a result of direct communication with @Alex, and the last screen I posted was a copy of your own screen of your conversation with him.

It has nothing to do with the projects per se, but the insider information. I think there is an actual rule against that. If not, there should be.

I sincerely wonder how many times you have done this before.

It is a fair point, and I am sure there are some gray areas. How d you feel about folks who are effectively granted Diplomatic immunity like @Prefontaine? If you see the screens I posted, and the brazen confidence in how he posted them, you can see a cheater who knows he will not be punished if caught.

Ironically, he just named his latest city 'Integrity' - a pantomime of a liar on display.

Frankly, that is far more damaging to the credibility of the game that someone who has been caught and forgiven like @Elijah Mikaelson

To be clear - I despise cheating in all forms. I have a long history of going after cheaters or grafter relentlessly. Ironically I even got a strike for doing so once lol

Yeah if anyone wants to see the screens, just PM me. Pre is a bully who has leaked things from Alex's desk for a long time. I literally never believed him until the new projects actually happened, but he talked about them for almost a year before they were manifested in game.

As it turned out, he was not lying, but you know, easy mistake for me to make.

Pre has posted public suggestions for the community to discuss (he's linked to them above) and we also chatted about them. Players regularly help me come up with ideas for the game, feedback on ideas, etc. None of this was "leaked" as I am not particularly secretive about the work I do on the game. If you follow the Politics & War Instagram, for example, I regularly post stories showing what I'm working on and what to expect coming soon.

Actually he did share that information, and it was closer to 8 months before.

There - I hope this dispels any illusions. I can scrounge for more, but do not have time atm. I think @Alex already has copies. Like I said, I did not believe him, but did stockpile Uranium on the basis of the ongoing war, and hedging my bet.

The "commerce one" didn't even get implemented into the game. I just don't think that this makes sense. Yes, Prefontaine discussed new project ideas with me. But it's not like I told him I was going to implement them on X date at Y price and the information was only available to him.

These projects were on the test server before they were on the live server, publicly available for anyone to test. They were also discussed well beforehand publicly on the forum. Anyone can speculate on how changes to the game mechanics could impact resource prices and act on it, but at the end of the day, it's speculation. You can see in your own screenshot that the speculation is rarely that accurate (or timely.)

Ok I will dig up more recent updates from Pre on when the projects were coming through and send to you. Those screens were to make the point that he was getting updates from you and sharing them with us from a long long time ago.

I wouldn't call it cheating, but it does fall into a gray area. Pre has had some good ideas on how to make the projects do what they were intended for, which was to dry up raws and refined resources.
I do not agree with some of them and I have given my honest opinion to both Pre and Alex. As for the projects and it being "secret information shared for big gains", that is not true, @Prefontaine has made many posts about the projects and shared those forums-posts often, so has Alex also and even made them available in test-server for us to test them and report potential bugs.
It might maybe appear that he has used that secret information at first glance, but I highly doubt that. If you dig through the forums a bit you can see that that's not the case and that Pre has made several posts, also dig through the public discord it's the same there.

Well I was in the alliance he was in, where he shared updates every time he thought it was about to be implemented. People routinely asked him for updates. I will look for them tonight or tomorrow - for now, I am preparing for a television interview (not kidding) for a product I designed that was not doing to well until the current C19 crisis. Now it is flying off the shelves! Anyone from Montreal can tune into CTV - they will likely air it as a feel-good piece on the 6pm news. So if you want to know what I look like, look for the guy with the green screen...

I was thinking about the space program, spysat and moon landing, not sure about the new projects, only seen one post about it. No knowledge about the dates.

I know and I dont care, I have to build my warchest the old fashion way, so wasting it on a cheater isn't really high on my list of priorities.

I fight for my alliance and my allies, if its not one of those two things, I am not interested.
