Four humans left in an eight player game, one handing over stars like that where otherwise both would have ranked? Definitely suspicious. Two allies at 40 stars each in an eight player would probably be able to simply cooperate and dominate and take 1-2.
How does there tech compare? Are new techs moving over crisply? Also, has the giving up stars really pumped either econ or banking suggestive of a cash cow for the leading player?
the theory seems a bit extreme, but why would two players be the same player? i don’t see any logic behind it. i am trying to helo lord davo and hopefully we can eliminate both of them soon.
I’m personally skeptical that you’d invite a real life friend to a game, partner with him in a public match, be cruising for 1 and 2, and then stab him in the back like that but that he still plays nice with you, not lash out, not AFK…
Tech stayed lockstep after stars started going… both messaging within a short time of each other on two different occasions… Making a deal normally means both gain some advantage, not that one gets knocked down to last place from the top.
Anyway, doesn’t pass my sniff test personally, but that means nothing.
I think you are being sarcastic, but I can’t resist. Having 2 accounts and their resources VS only 1 which is allowed is a clear and huge advantage especially in 8 player games. If you get them close to each other is even better. There is no negotiations, no trust issues, you can leave borders open etc.
But they both have 0 victories and both low rank so at least they/him/her have not been successful at it. Just gang up and give it to them!
Something in me dislikes friends joining the game with the assumption they will help each other out. It’s kind of like going from one game to the next with the same allies… I know everyone does that to some degree or another, hence the concern for reputation.
But, at a certain point, it feels like it has too many similarities to the 1 player, 2(+) accounts issue.
