He paid me from a mastercard. So i assume that he had the money in the account as Ive already accepted it and ive moved it all away. I assume Paypal would have reversed the transaction if he didnt have the money on his card already.

It just occurred to me: perhaps somebody reported him and the account got blocked, rather than having been hijacked...

Here I spent all day yesterday trying to rally the entire server into WWII against rhino and his 'friends', and look what happens.  But Mads, fellow head admin, you're turning into Raul. There's no real evidence, just some admittedly suspicious coordinated strikes. But we do the same (strikes I mean). And they can be explained by his story. What ever happened to in dubio pro reo? |

According the IK help page
I don't believe he is getting that message. He probably would have said so.

Wake up and smell the post-911 world, you liberal pinkie peacenik hippie. Either you are with me or you are against me, and I will not cut and run! Just kidding  I'm not sure how much doubt there was yesterday, when mere days after accounts like pinky_and_brain, thenoob and who knows what else had been bought, they started being used as suicide fleets heading for the Orcs. Only when we started raising hell on the forums did we get these vague stories about friends. Not to mention that Squinty first derectly lied about it before being called on it. If I'm turning into Raul, should I rename my account Skandus? ;D |

Even more news: He would give Ashimar's account to the AMC as well. Well that would be something indeed. A neutral account (and seeing as I would have stopped expanding anyway at 50 isles...), I kind of like it. But I still haven't seen any money and thus I'm still in full control of myself. Ratem/Thomas Puschmann, the main original owner of Pinky_and_brain, has confirmed to me (yesterday) in a private email that he indeed received the money on his PayPal account from Rhino's smartnet73@gmail.com account and he still got the money. |

I blinked when I saw this. Can't be right, I thought. If these LWs and SFs counts are for real then surely up till now he hasn't fought in any war and all his isles were fleetcaught isles with fleets and armies on them. Just doesn't add up. Anyone else think the math is wrong ?

maybe in addition to buying accounts, stonies, and spears, he also managed to buy time.....freaky!

Ha! Good one that. Except for the cats (I have slightly more) and stoners (I've only got one third of that) which he can buy limitless, it's the numbers of LWs, spears and colonyships and isles that seem to be unrealistic. I mean, I got 20K LWs and 48 isles but only 3 colonyships and my spearcount is around 275K and I like to think of myself as really good in building up defenses from day 2 onwards. I never stopped so this is no doubt a merged account to begin with.
Something else, why does the guy write so terrible ? kemo and chemo are rather far apart. it's almost like he doesn't speak English at all and is forreign and uneducated.

I was wondering about that. Maybe he's dyslexic?

Anyone else think the math is wrong ? I think that he is making a summation of the military force on the isles he has bought. Meaning he has spent 10k$ to buy accounts with the total of 40k LWS, 550k spears, 600k stoners, 3k cats and 80 colo boats. Maybe that includes his own original account, but probaly not. I think it's his purchases. Maybe control of all the accounts have been lost? |
