I can say honestly that i wouldn't mind losing to you mani, you're a fantastic player who deserves the win, but 43 points when i should have lost about 16 to you aint right.

No, they're not powerless. They could charge $25 for everyone. After all, its not like they get paid by advertising, so they wouldn't lose money for doing this. They simply chose to try to make this game as fun for all as they can, despite people constantly testing their abilities to break the rules.

Quite ridiculous and embarrassing that the admins are allowing *Manimal to make a mockery of them. You figure the overall good of the site would be put above one player.

Yes. And basically lose any new recruit they get.

No pity... the shark got eaten.

Nothing like a good laugh eating those helpless noobs to raise ones rank.

Nothing like a good wolf in sheeps clothing sob story for a better laugh.

This whole multi thing reminds me of the US/Mexican boarder.

Firstly I think the whole multi thing has got completely out of hand, secondly Im sorry Tom but you deserved to be bitten for noob farming, that also does nothing for the dignity of this site.

lol, everyone does it, we all see open 1v1s and take them for easy points.

Go check my active and waiting for players games, or even do a search for archeived public 1v1s i have been in, this is probably a once a fortnight occasion when i see a game up.

Quite a lot of people do it:
Game 3091872
Game 3088543
Game 3135099
Game 3135098
Game 3135079

I think that's a bit unfair... I just ran a Map Rank on t-o-m... and he came out as...

Equalitarian (1.020)

Which means that he actually plays people that are slightly above his rank.

Although - t-o-m's admission of the fact is proof enough,

Thanks yeti :)
Although i dont do noob farming on 1v1, but i just saw the game and joined.
If you map rank me on 1v1 games (casual) its:
Private 1st Class62 +38 Won 57 from 95(60%)
that's pretty average isnt it?

and if you map rank me on everyhting but 1v1 (on casual), you'll see that most of my points dont come from 1v1.

*manimal has had 20 other accounts (as well as 7 others just made to take points from one player). He should've be banned ages ago.

He paid for most of those accounts however.I think it un-fair to ban people that pay unless its clear they are using accounts in conjunction to gain points.I myself do not care if some1 chose to make and pay for 10 accounts as long as they are not cheating to gain points. While people complain all on this site about it being a point issue they will always have that conversation to cry about.Everybody protects their points in different manners.Some noob farm some play only private games (for the better game I'm sure they say).Anyhow I'd personally like to see some kind of refund credited to his account as he paid for a great number of those said created accounts to be able to play/use a service for a full year yet he wasnt able to do so.All said I guess this is ultimately Lacks site and he can do whatever he likes or thinks is best for HIS site.

He has made multiple accounts with the sole purpose of taking points from someone he didn't like, by joining all the open spots in their games and then killing them. He's paying to be able to do that to players. He should be banned forever.

He gets no pity from me. I've always put him immediately on my ignore list the moment someone finds out what his new name is.

He knows what he was doing was wrong. He even said so multiple times. For some reason money is not an issue to him as I've seen him say something similar to "oh well, I'll just buy another account and be back in an hour" after being banned before.

Another reason he would start new accounts is to get around the foe list. He's a foul-mouthed child, who had very little skill in most styles of games, and always managed to get 'foed' by a lot of players. He'd get sick of not being able to play against all those people, and just start a new account so he could join their games again.

I have no idea how you can say that.

I think you should withdraw that little comment until you have seen some of his games.
He is extremely talented at the game types he plays, and i think that you are making that comment more because you dont like the guy, rather than the fact that he is good or not.

Maybe you should also bold the five words after what you already bolded in Timm's post. Then you'd both be saying the same thing; even you admit that he's talented at the "game types he plays".

I haven't played him since he first made the *manimal account. And he only ever joined in on 6 player sequential escalating games with me. In each and every one of those games, he would berate lesser ranks for doing things like taking australia, and would then proceed to hang someone for reasons such as "I thought India only had a 1 on it", when in fact there were 20 armies there, or going for a kill that he had no chance at, because "I didn't see south africa". Sure he was fast, but he lacked skill in a big way.

This is from mani, he wanted me to post this:

manimal was a horrible seq player thats why he was only really playing freestyle
I mean just look at thisthis is his freestyle stats
hes a general
Totals72 General943 +2557 Won 594 from 1456(41%) Won 229 from 446 717 (24) Serial Killer (58%)1389 Equalitarian (0.942)
then look at seq I think him having adhd made him a bad seq player since he was always hurrying
Totals32 Cook1332 -1532 Won 185 from
so I agree tim he was lacking skill at seq
but you can not say someone who is a general in freestyle is bad overall

I'm not a freestyle player, but I have seen numerous, high-ranking, freestyle players compare his play style to a drunk driver.
