Is it possible for the admistrator of a game to cheat. I had like 6 or 7 instances where everytime somthing weird happened it was in his favor. He was an administrator of the game and a player. 1st instance middle of ocean moving a destroyer over to make a path for cargo ships to go through and i was 5 mins from location and all the sudden my ship was 35 mins from target. Second example i was embarking with 2 differnt ships one had 5 mins left the other 3+hours and all the sudden the one ship had 17 mins and the other was back in the ocean arriving in 33mins then the one embarking was down to 2mins and it went up to 12mins, next he was invading me with this stacked regiment of 25 tanks like a 75.0 strenghth but the whole time he embarked i was bombarding him with artillary and when he was traveling i was bombarding him well i got him down to like a 35.0 he overtook some little town so his tank went dark for 20 mins then he came outta of the darkness and his tank was a 90.2 no other troops around i could see nuthin came in cause it was my territory surrounding the small territory he took over. Now is there a way to cheat like that or was there a glitch in that game 1999655 was the game # Also rocket lauches just dissapeared. just wonderin if its possible cause this guy needs to be reported if so he claims hes innocent but he also diddnt answer my questions about it and erased all the messages that was going on for the whole game?????????
To you question:
Mods didn't have the right to manipulate the game. Game Operators can do it, but they are controlled by higher support members.
It's forbidden for all supporters to login the admin panel in a games the are players! This thing is controlled by Bytro strictly and will be punched hard!
So I thing this player has much more knowledge about game mechanics than you and maybe he has used Gold.
I think it is more likely that you were watching "ghost" or shadow units. If you or your spies catch sight of a unit for a moment but then you can't see it the unit stays visible as a shadow or ghost unit. If you click on it the information box will tell you: "intelligence from 8:14am" or something like that. The unit may be moving out of your sight and combining with other units.
I have seen with ships especially, but anytime both your unit and the target are moving the estimated times are not updated in real time. If your target is sitting still the timer is accurate. You need to issue the order again to get an updated time-frame.
Level 1 rockets are likely to get lost or shot down.
Check the newspaper article closely to see what happened to units if you are lost.
Yesterday in particular I had a couple times where I had to reload the browser page to get updated info, but that could have been a poor connection on my end as well.
As Xarus stated, mods cannot do anything within games, and the Game Operators that may are over-watched by SGO Mathex, Myself, and finally Dr. `Chan.
It seems to me that the player in question is probably a "Game Admin," which has been renamed to "Round Host" to avoid confusion, as they are not staff and their only special ability in that round is to remove all players that haven't logged into the round for more than two day changes.
The issues you bring up do look like a player simply spent a little gold to turn the tide of the war, and are not things that staff have the ability to do. The removal of your messages should have been met with a PM through the system from the GO that had actually done the task. If this GO was in your map (or you ever feel a staff member is abusing power/cheating), please alert me in private messaging either on the main site or in forum so I may investigate.
PS:
I did just take a peek into your map, and did not find any staff members in it. Again, if I missed anything, please contact me in private to let me know.
