Friend got banned...an appeal

hailstorm101 · Post by **hailstorm101** » Tue May 22, 2007 9:47 pm

My friend stven007 was falsely accused of being a multi with all of the following:

Nacho, soaked_in_flame, samchenqwe, VandalSavage, jjjjjjjjjj125, NotInMyHouse, TINKERBELLA, cerebrac, situaciones, actually, slabthekiller, ihatenoobss, alexkleinisapro, athleteoftheweek, stopnoobingout.

Now, I saw a thread saying that Nacho, VandalSavage, and NotInMyHouse was cleared of being multis. Also, I personally know soaked_in_flame, samchenqwe, jjjjjjjjjj125, and stven007 in real life, and I know that they are not the same person. However, the other accounts are completely unknown to both me and the accused stven007.

They DO play together at the same computer often, and stven007 does have access to his friend's passwords, however, this is only for times when his friends are not able to play, and he plays their turn for them. Also, in all his games, he only plays team games with them, and not any freestyle games with secret alliances.

stven007 has replied with an email to CC, and he wishes them to consider reactivating/clearing his and his friends' accounts.

I would imagine they did something wrong, out multihunters and mods are pretty good, but if they are legit good luck getting them back

Okay, I can vouch for stven007 that he does not use multiple accounts. I know him in real life and the fact that he uses the same computer to play Conquer Club as some other people at church. They do know each other's passwords but he only uses it to help his friends move when they cannot make it within the 24 hour limit, and during team games only. To support the above:
12. Can more than one person play from the same computer?
The short answer is yes. Our Multi Hunters are pretty good at distinguishing roomates & family members from people with multiple accounts. However, it is generally a good idea to play in doubles/triples games with people from the same computer. This will help avoid accusations of cheating.
14. Can I let another player take a turn for me when I am away from the game?
You can, with the stipulation that the account babysitter is not your opponent in any current game. It is common courtesy to announce in game chat that another player will take your turn(s) during your absence.

He was not cheating in anyway according to the FAQ. I am requesting that you look over the accusation evidence again and to please remove the bans on him and his friends.

I like how you both joined yesterday :wink:

Sounds like you two are also multis.

(They can check your IP adress against the multis just to be sure.)

lol, stephen got banned?? dewd thats not right. i know all his activities seem suspicious b/c he shares pw's, but he's not a multi. he's one of my real-life friends. i played lots of team games with him so i would know...only shares pws for team games. if you look at his other games with the accused players, they only show up with him in team games.

You can't move anything to the contact page. The contact page is where your friends must go to put their appeals through. It's all explained in the email they received.

No it says you joined Mar 18, 2007 - which is 2 months ago. Your joined date is the date you created your account. The date was just read wrong.
