Hello once again, dear viewers!


It has come to my attention that Turkey has become the 1st country in the game to reach 400 energy and I wanted to share a little story of how that has come to be. :)


I have no doubt that the Turkish community is huge, but I found it weird since the beginning of the server how coordinated they hit and build, almost a bit too coordinated. I called bybatu out for that, as he has the reputation of a cheater from the past test servers, as well as other games (that's what I heard, don't quote me on that).







Funnily, around that time, there was a huge wave of bans in Iran and we saw suspicious activity continue from brand new accounts in the days after this happened. They'd log in at the same time, hit and log out, rinse and repeat.









This is the status of banned accounts on 3rd of November. (Sadly the bot was shut down, wonder why hehe)






Fast forward slightly over a week and we have even more bans, this time in Turkey, too... Interestingly, most of them were reported quite a long time ago as they had very similar building points and suspiciously, they were always online around the same time. All 10 of these accounts were banned on 10th and 11th November.



Fun fact - if you combine these banned accounts (I only checked the accounts with more than 10,000 building points), you get a total of 271,386 building points - enough to place 11th in the country statistics for building, and these are not even all the banned accounts, there's probably many more... Think about that for a second...


Here's the full list :

Jamiryu - 34,232
akatsuki - 32,780
AnemiPY - 32,760
BestuQuye - 30,912
RelaxA - 30,016
refayi -  28,908
dexah - 28,000
217,608

Spice petal - 27,512
Ahmed DaV -  15,266
Overkill -  11,000
53,778


The 2 main culprits seem to be BestuQuye for Turkish side (the only one who is temporarily banned of the bunch) and Jack Rafflesia for Iranian side (who's ban changed from permanent to temporary and companies' quality reduced accordingly to the advantage he gained). Although I'm a bit doubtful about Turkish multies, BestuQuye, from my monitoring seemed like a multi as well, but I don't like to speculate.


Now imagine how much more damage this has caused in the game, how many battles were decided (more than 35m damage between these accounts), how much extra production (more than 340 works between these accounts), how much extra gold (300+ days worth of missions between these accounts), how much advantage certain individuals, MUs, even countries had from all of this... And what happens now? Absolutely nothing.


In my personal opinion, these accounts themselves significantly affected the outcome of WW1 and the consequent NAP. Okay, it's good these accounts are banned now, but I can't help but feel that more can be/could've been done... How many more are flying under the radar? What do you think? Leave a comment below.


Kind regards, jasko.


P.S. - I'd also like to share this report that was made by Harreki on 1st of November - https://pastebin.com/wXtb4huS, but most of these accounts are still active, but who knows, perhaps not all of them are multies?
