Bin_man

[AeroS]

Bin_man is up for membership into KoM.
I personally don't trust all the KoM people yet so I did not post 7 8 & 9 in the KoM forum. If they are friends with the multi, I don't waqnt him tipped off.

1. He comes to DIGG from Phoenix, saying he wants to fight E|S.

2. This week, he starts threatening DIGGers that he'll attack them if anyone attacks some particular unaffiliated account.

3. He says that he launched a colo from o14 against E|S, so he beat the deadline for the ceasefire.

4. We ask him how, since he doesn't have any o14 isles.

5. He quickly corrects himself that the o14 isle was a friends account, ub40.

6. I talk to Prometheus of Pantheon, and sure enough, he's aware that bin_man has been sitting the ub40 account, but says it's actually been so long that he has forgotten the original owner.

7. A DIGGer sat bin_man's account at one point, and had login access. We determine that it is worth checking it to investigate for multi-activity, without tampering.

8. Sure enough, shitloads of transports between what appears a string of multi's, apparently supplying bin_man as the primary account.

9. A rabbit-hole of IGM's in touch with other multi-players, some with as many as 5-6 accounts spread across 3-4 Top 10 alliances. We're still sorting through the network right now - it's rather overwhelming to make sense of it all, and we haven't gotten our heads around it yet, but we're working on it. We suspect this bin_man being dumb enough to trust a DIGGer with his account login info just opened pandora's box on at least 20 multi accounts between a group of 4-5 friends.

Bin_Man will definitly not be able to join KoM.

My own suggestion;

cc: AeroS;Clausewitz

If you want we can accept and keep him here to stop him seeking sanctuary in a different alliance. Then once you've finished your investigation you won't have to cut through loads of diplomatic red tape we'll cut him straight away.

Perhaps sounds a harsh response but as you know we don't take too kindly to multiple account users. In the mean time we can always probe him with some fairly innocent looking questions about his account etc. Sound good?

It follows the keep your friends close but your enemies closer saying.

[Ruku]

I agree with eproxy's post fully

[eproxy]

Got the go ahead from Clausewitz now we just need to implement it.

RE: RE: Bin_man
That's why they pay you the big bucks over there, for great ideas like this

If some DIGG diplo or something gives you guys a hard time, just drop my name and have them get with me - I may not be around much the next 24 hours, so I can't personally ensure they'll all get the message.

When he signs up either activate his account and we'll mention nothing of this in the KoM section (including fixing his admission thread) or just keep delaying his verification saying the admins who deal with that are actually on holiday.

What do the higher authorities think of this? Personally I'd flow with it but I'm only a single part of the bigger machine.

[AeroS]

No one will respond for fear of being labeled "a higher authority". Do you have any idea how much work that must be? "higher authority" comes with a nice cozy corner office but it also comes with bunches of troublesome minions.
ahhhhhh minions

[Natmus]

I'm okay with it, but I hope then everybody remembers that he most likely is a mole trying to get as much information as possible from us for his own ends.

[Arminius]

Yes, sounds good. If he's with us then we don't need to convince another alliance that he's a multi.

[digital]

Eproxy has been designated to sort all this out.

[Warliter]

It might be worthwhile auditing the ingame forum to take any potential useful info out as if he is a mole he will read everything

[digital]

Theres nothing in there about the trium to be honest, it's actually really dull, I miss Luxor's internal forum.

[eproxy]

I'm going to Accept his application today; I'm also going to as Clausewitz to progress the investigation as quickly as possible. Whilst there is only a low risk of bad things happening with bin_man here I'd rather have him gone.
