MineralSupplier
2006-08-12
  *SIGH*  

For more than 2 years now I`ve been playing this game,
As an empire called Firecracker

During all this time
I never cheated once
never insulted any1
played according to the rules
battled with honour
never even got silenced or anything...

For the past few months,
I wasn`t able to play
coz of final exams,
i just checked in once in a while to see how SF was going,
saying hello to some old friends...

2 weeks ago,
i logged back in
a UW had just passed
and the server was crying for minerals,
so i thought:
hey,
I got some spare time atm,
I`ll give them some,

so yes,
I created another account
named "MineralSupplier"
the name is obvious enough
in less then 2 hours of playing,
i got PMed by Eternus
Next thing I know is I`m staring at my screen not able to log into the Firecracker-account

Sure i know the rules,
no multis allowed,
didn`t think of this as a multi since i`d done no abuse with it,
didn`t cheat,
didn`t get an advantage of any kind,
i just sold a couple of hundreds of minerals a various group of people
not me,
so no markettrading
and it were a few hundreds
so why would I since the Firecracker account still has many billions to spare...
Didn`t fight with this new account
just done some researching

And in the past 3 months
I`ve only done 1 battle with the Firecracker-account
and that`s becoz karolinerna asked me to
"for old times sake"
and it has been half a year since that account made any profit

A serious and calm talk with Eternus (he deactivated me, no hard feelings, just doing his job)
didn`t help me get my account back
(here are the 7 PM`s in my OUTBOX)
http://student.kuleuven.be/~s0159922/SF-PMs.html

I don`t care bout the MineralSupplier-account
I ain`t got time to start all over again

So I guess this is goodbye for me

I`ve had a lot fun with you guys,
especially DISTEMPER and karolinerna to who I`ve been loyal to almost all my SF-life

To all the empires I`ve fought,
To those that still remember me,
(and I doubt there will be many)

I salute you...

Protoss yesh well you best read this

Guidelines on what is defined as cheating

- Having more than 1 account on a server

- Using scripts/software/bots to automatically play the game for you

- Abusing and exploiting a bug/error/loophole in the system for personal gain

- Transfering colonies/planets, ships or resources from someone to yourself

- Inducing DP from someone to yourself

- Logging into other players for personal gain

- More than 1 players taking turns playing the empire who has activated the Overmind Project (blowing up the server)

- Spamming/flooding the server to disrupts normal server operations for personal gain

Wow FireCracker, that sucks for you.
At the same time I feel sorry for you. I don`t understand, why did the admins delete the account without actually "thinking"? It looks like you have very legitimate reasons for getting your account back. I mean you even stated the rules of abuse in GC...wow, I can`t believe these admins...

I can;t believe you hit me =(

Where`s the love ?

XD

I never got the impression you liked me, so i return not much love back

Tough break, but understandable, i`m not one for talking myself

So i`m just gonna reced back into the distance again=P

Pandy,
and all others on IRC,
don`t involve Karo in any of this,
he has got nothing to do with this

I jsut stated to Eternus
that I`ve only fought a SINGLE battle with the Firecracker-account
in the past 3 months
At that time i was in a chat together with Karo
and i asked him: "should I hit DP?"
and he said `go ahead`
nothing more
so Karo, nor DISTEMPER has got nothing to do with the multi whatsoever
That is my responsibility
Karo is a great guide and an even better player,
so don`t blame him of things he didn`t commit

and want a precendence, go ask warpspeed what happened when he did something similar he used to be jumaster as everyone online then knows
MineralSupplier

It may have not been very clear to some but no member of DISTEMPER told me to create another account,

after UW
server was low on minerals
thought i`d be friendly and provide some
since i had some spare time
and wasn`t playing on Firecracker for so long
so it was MY idea
No other SF-member is involved in this,

i just thanked DISTEMPER for a wonderful time they provided me
Pandy

you forgot to mention that you still had firecracker as active at the time so in fact mineralsupplier is your multi

but yes wouldn`t do to say that i guess.
MineralSupplier
99+ day(s) ago
look, i fully understand they can force me to drop 1 of the 2 accounts,
but why did they deleted the firecracker account
and left me with a 2 hour old empire

I just find it a way too hard punishment
as I`m being punished the same way a planettrader and markettrader would with multis
