Got this from our DIGG contact: This may also explain Drake's indignation that we are using colo boats on Tyrant. Giving his isles away smacks of Stomer's trick back when we fought him. Every time we attacked an isle he would sell it to one of the large players, hoping that this would spark conflict between them and us. It even made some idiots buy isles of him that hadn't been attacked yet, expecting us to clear them for them  Anyway, we need to tell the Ss that this won't work. Those alliances that fight Tyrant will take the isles, or somebody we designate. Anyone but Ss. Maybe I should make that a public announcement on the forum. |

If [-S-] colonise any isle they didn't clear I certainly think it rightful that we pay them a visit.

Fourthed. (sorry, had to do that) By the way, great reads everyone, on the public forum. Especially the announcements by Natmus! And by the way, I don't care if Tyrant cheated  What I care about was that it was obvious that he and he alone could ruin this game. No game is fun with a bully around and he was both that and almost powerful enough to be untouchable. Had we let him proceed even further than we did, this game would have sucked... Not just for us. For everyone crossing the path of the bully. |

But from his messages to me last night it appears he's just setting up ship elsewhere in ik.com where we won't know it's him (at least not for some time). And I'm pretty sure he takes his current cats and some stoners with him. As he told me "when you know what you're doing it is not so hard to attain top 10 placement again" (some paraphrase in there).
So, let's assume Tyrant starts again in ocan 22 with 95 cats and 8K stoners. Nice going for those in the area...

Can we use the database to look for accounts that started to climb the ranks quickly? If he is cheating to get to top 10, his advancement will be away above the average

Robert, could you amend the database so it can track all players scores for those above a certain player id? What range of player id do you think it is likely to be? |

Not sure you can rely on ID too much, he might inherit an old account.. It's true he'll have accelerated growth from all the resources people will be giving him, but also watch peoples friends list (ie those currently closest to him) for new additions.

I am sure that his isle names have changed in the last 24 hrs...
with that in mind i have taken this snapshot(im sure we have one .... somwhere..)
if the isle names HAVE actually changed it would indicate that he's not banned... also we now have a public well morkinese(think chinese) record of what they are now
I know small detail really if he's quit.. but it would be gratifying if he had given up due to our pressure and not the game admin..

Yes, the names are changing, good of you to snap that. I don't believe he has been banned (evidence is mounting against it) and [-S-] is playing a dangerous game...
At least they are now - indirectly - admitting he was cheating.
