OPEN LETTER : PTO attempts thanks to Lopsided banning procedures

Day 729, 09:58 Published in India Serbia by Ind1anMartyr

So finally I wrote it...something that was obvious to everybody but yet continued unabated. I feel we must draw the line and make the admins aware. This is the draft of the open letter.

Dear admins,

I thought long and hard before finally writing this letter but I feel the time has come that it must be brought to your attention. If this makes me liable for deletion or forfeit points then so be it, but this is the truth and I unfortunately will speak it out.

We in eIndia strive daily to keep our nation surviving through the strife all around us. However since the last month or so, we have noticed a new menace...a rogue group that is determined to try and PTO us. Since we noticed this, we have tried to bring it to the attention of the admins repeatedly but the tickets get closed saying there is nothing wrong. This is incredible as it is obvious to everybody!

Are you basing IP address as the sole criteria to ban multi users? or are you having different yard sticks for different nations?

It was very obvious how a citizen called "sanginrape" stood for party presidency and got in a whole bunch of exactly level 7 people to vote for him! Surely you cannot say that 56 level 7 people voting for the same person is a coincidence? and that for a person who has never written an article, never been involved in any politics and as stated from his shouts, is an enemy of the state.

What is even more damning is that this very citizen and his cronies changed their avatars from the MAFIA avatar to a simple harmless food icon. Was there a need to do so across the board unless it showed them guilt?

Not only sanginrape, there were other citizens such as akrado22 who initially began accumulating citizens and then finally even provided evidence and yet he roams scot free with the other multis!

The evidence is circumstantial in parts and is subjective in others, but all combined it is very very obvious to any onlooker of their guilt. You can yourself check the records of all citizens being born daily in India and you will see that a boom is going on, one that has nothing to do with Indians. The citizens get born in india then move out to Iran to work and come back just before election time. As soon as these citizens reach level 7, their job is done, they stop working and simply wait while a new group is created and the cycle begins again. In fact these people might be evading IP detection by using proxies, but have you checked if the proxy IPs match regularly?

Is this how the "NEW REPUBLIK" the "NEW WORLD" is going to be like? Worse than the real world? where corruption and underhanded techniques rule the roost just because your procedures have too many loopholes?

The only reason I spend real money and time in this game is that I feel it is a challenge and there is excitement in taking it up but only if the same rules and common sense applies to all. it is not only us Indians who feel aggrieved, there are quite a few others who are losing faith in the sense of fairplay. This game seems to be sinking in the mire of real life prejudices that should not have happened.

These are the ticket numbers I had posted, (NLM-317645, XXW-582063, FAK-422318 - all PENDING, and MWL-129832 - CLOSED) i would appreciate if someone were to look into these and resolve this asap and also come up with a better way of protecting small nation against such cheap ways.

It seems there will only be 2 outcomes if nothing is done : either small nations will also resort to such means in anger which means wholesale anarchy, or players will get frustrated and leave as you cannot play against a loaded hand.

Please consider what I have written and try to refrain from banning me if its possible. This is a serious issue and does need to be looked into. Consider it as constructive criticism and try and find a solution for it.

many thanks,
Ashwamedh
on behalf of eIndia.
