cheating

i have a question. is it considered cheating if someone joins a game under more than one username, or basically dummy accounts, to control other countries so that their main account wins the game or to improve their ranking by winning games?

I'm pretty sure it is cheating, yes.

Mess with the Bill, you get the scorn!

You are not allowed to have multiple accounts, so yes.

Multiple accounts is against the terms of use for this game, as such any accounts found are investigated by the moderating team and deleted if appropriate.

Yes. So if a couple of players repeatedly misspell the same words or send msgs. forgetting which country's in-game email they're using...then it's a good chance it's the same person. Some will admit to it!

Michael, message me the game number and I'll look into it personally. As Kalantigos mentioned, multi accounts are very much against the rules and we take action when we find them.

In the future, report the suspected multi accounts by clicking the settings gear in the bottom right of your game screen and hit 'Report a bug'. In your message please include the usernames of the suspected multis as well as your reason for suspecting them to be multi accounts.

This will send a support ticket to the game operators where one of us will investigate.

I believe so.

Also it is your right to report, and support must prove it, but i am not 100% sure your *backstabber-ally* is a cheater. Do you have used spies, do you saw he had traded goods for free, or something else? they could have ally before you had shared mapy with your ally. i dont say it is impossible he is, but before reporting you should have better arguments, so can every player who lose report his opponents, and devs, or support team lose time to prove every unimportent message, while some other thing should wait. And some players build AA armies, if they dont build own airforces.

*Arguments: i lose cause another player betreyed me, he is a cheater!!!, help me!* is not very usefull.

EDIT:

oh no opened slot anymore, day 24. is host JoannaD, name of game is like that way? then help her, if you are gentleman, lol She invited girls to join (opened for all princesses, but she is alone there, and some one is may be awful cheater. Also best way, you announce in herold coaltion of gentlemen and save host joanneD, together you winn, cheater or not make not differences.

I havent seen a case like that yet Sal. Usually the cheaters funnel resources to their main game or they wolf pack you.
I had one game there was a multi-accounter controlling SUS and Spain (at least I think it was a multi-accounter, because the names were "grandpaj" and "gandpaj")

In the end it was just them, me playing as Poland, and another guy playing as Caucasus and there were a few other inactive countries left as well. We allied and double teamed Spain and destroyed him even though he sent troops from SUS too. Then he just went inactive after he lost Spain so we decided to end it.

This was also a game that I spent experimenting with railroad guns and artillery :D

Maybe Spain had a puppet government in the South ;)

Yeah, once I installed a puppet government in Morocco as the SUSA. We ended up winning the round together, but I annexed virtually all of his provinces that he gained except for Spain and Portugal and protected him against all attacks.
