Cheat-free ZWK PBEM

[Darius]

It seems now that all of the ZWK PBEM's are dead, what with dropout after dropout and cheater after cheater. I was hoping we could have at least one continuing on the forum, however, with a completely clean slate, so who's in?

Axis: Darius
Independents:
Neutrals: AI
Allies:
Minor Axis:
Soviets:
Minor Allies:

 

[SunTzu]

I would play, but i'm just not wild about the scenario

 

[Yop73]

I'll be the minor axis again.

 

[Case]

I'd join, but I'm in way too many PBEMS already

What is it about this scenario that attracts cheaters anyway?

 

[Eivind IV]

I do not like cheaters, so I will join this PBEM out of solidarity to you my brother Darius

I'll take the Alllies.

 

[Eivind IV]

What is the turn order? I am going away until the 19th, so if the Allies start (something I doubt) I could play my turn before I went. Never mind. But do not exclude me. I will be back and do want to play.

 

[The ANZAC]

Hey I'll take the Soviets Darius!

 

[The ANZAC]

BTW I don't want to dig through all the PBEM threads, but what exactly was happening with the cheating and this game?

 

[Case]

A guy by the name of Williamorange [who was a mod on this site at one time!] was caught changing the rules file in a couple games to give his units extra movement and attack points. There was at least one more scandal which I've forgotton about as well

 

[The ANZAC]

How did they find out?

Basically his ships moved too far in one turn.

There were other cases where people hex editied their gold and other stuff.

 

[Yop73]

So now it is:

Axis: Darius
Independents: Open
Neutrals: AI
Allies: Eivind IV
Minor Axis: Yop73
Soviets: the ANZAC
Minor Allies: Open

Cmon people, 2 more players please. (though only the minor allied is really necessary)

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I'll offer to be keymaster, if wanted.

 

[JuicyCivNewbie]

I'll be minor allies again, as I was in the Apolyton ZWK game (Axis beware!).

 

[Darius]

Basically his ships moved too far in one turn.

Yep, proud to say I had the priviledge of busting him... twice!

And there were actually two more scandals; Imperial-Markus and elibb cheated in several games and left all of them (it might ring a bell).

Axis: Darius
Independents: Open
Neutrals: AI
Allies: Eivind IV
Minor Axis: Yop73
Soviets: the ANZAC
Minor Allies: JuicyCivNewbie (aka IronicWarrior depending on computer)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as I'm posting on other threads I will be unable to play until at least the 20th, so I suppose we can start this one then. Sorry.

 

[The ANZAC]

DoM: sure you can be keymaster if only I knew what that position is?

A keymaster is someone who holds all the players passwords. That way, if any one drops out for any reason, the game can go on with minimal delay.

 

[The ANZAC]

I see, sounds good by me

 

[Darius]

Good news and bad news, it turns out I'll have my new college access to at least talk, but the bad news is still no turns.

Kinda a cool week, seeing Yop73 at Apolyton and the ANZAC at civfanatics!

BTW here are links to the two cheating matters FYI, as I didn't have time to dig for them before:

The ZWK 2 bust

Catching him again on ZWK 4, after we allowed him to stay

Actually, I've been at the Civ2-Creation forum for a while
