Catcher - Expelled

[SkulkrinBait]

First of all, apologies for interferring in KoM matters.

Catcher has been expelled for leaking the poll to Pantheon re our stance in a DIGG vs Pantheon war.

We knew it was him as far as you ever can tell as:

1. He's good friends and ex E|S allies with l3x-x and DJ-Giftgas who posted it on the Pantheon forums. I believe all three are also German, for what that's worth.

2. The poll that was leaked had 13 votes, Catcher was the 13th person to vote on the poll, so he voted and then cut and pasted it as that supported his motive better, ie getting Pantheon to attack DIGG.

3. Catcher has been on these forums a longish time and only made 9 posts, typical spy behaviour. Maybe he has leaked other infor, maybe not but we can't take any risks so he had to go.

Please leave it at that, I expect he will join Pantheon now and will be useful against DIGG, a potential ally. What he leaked wasn't highly sensitive, but still unacceptable.

He's had his access to these forums removed.

exalts

I suppose you made the right choice. Exalts.

[SkulkrinBait]

It wasn't entirely my decision, but after speaking to several other admins after seeing the backlash it was the right decision.

Like skulk said it wasn't entirely his, after discussing things with skulk it seemed the right thing to do.

He's started his own alliance. Interesting. Seems the fashionable thing for Top 20 players to do lately, with him, Lokim, and Rahein all going that course.

*Clausewitz tries not to get any ideas...*

How about exalting the guy who found this leak .......................

That is god damn cheeky, but your right

According to Arminius he is wanting back in but if he's started his alliance then no.

Apparently his reasoning was that every forum has leaks.

[Arminius]

Well, the alliance could simply be for protection, as unaligned players get targetted. I'll set up a poll.

[Cesium]

Unallied players get targeted you say? Hmm, things have gotten a little quiet for Cesium. I ought to try that some time.

[Clausewitz]

Aye.

I was unaffiliated for about a week between DIGG and Luxor.

It took about 48 hours for the reconnaissance-in-force to start taking place. About 2-3 dozen single-island accounts came out of the woodwork, from oceans far and wide, poking at my isles with weak 50 lws attacks. Just checking the defenses at no cost to the primary account holder(s) behind the multi's.

It is energizing for about 2 days, but then gets tiresome constantly fleetsaving and retaliating. I must have scorched half of them, and after about 3 days of that, they started lying low; the primary account holder(s) never showed their face, and I can only fantasize grew tired of having his/their multi-accounts scorched.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's enjoyable reading battle reports at all hours of the day, but feels rather unsatisfying as you aren't dealing damage to the cheater himself.
