Thanks Keith!

Looks like banning Pirates from congress was a great tactical move, reward your CP nomination for his smarts TUP...

I wouldn't celebrate too soon, though, them research accounts might wake up and push the balance back.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thanks for the update again

It looks like 7 votes were lost during the admin checks.

Congratulations to those elected.

Thanks for pointing this out!! I was just about to check. 7 votes being lost is remarkable and all from the same party. Perhaps we will hear a bit less from the Pirates about how their opponents only win by 'cheating'

Wookie would of got the seat that was lost.

As for the bannings - We didn't mass report any of the obviously suspicous accounts in other parties till after the fact.

We'll see how many survive although the results will stand (so much for premium service!)

@ Finest,

Spite and I didn't submit tickets for individual accounts. In the interest of fairness we simply reported our whole election and asked them to check it out. If anybody on my side of the divide is using multi accounts I want that stopped too.

@Keith

No you won't 😛

Yes sorry about that Wookie was the one that lost out

As far as we are aware, we had one guy who was suspected, numerous people had reported him, numerous times.

Are we really gonna start yet another reporting war?

If people are cheating they should be reported, end of!

@Wayne, totally agreed. That's why we avoided the route of singling accounts out. There were and always are accusations about both sides, so the easiest thing to do was draw the admins attention to the whole election.

Might wanna start looking in your own parties then.

It surprised me that admins actually took action this time round Talon . We've asked em many times to run the rule over election results in the past to only be greeted with silence. Which means either elections were clean, but I find that hard to believe or it pays to have friends in high places...

It just shows you whoever is the owner of those accounts is a noob. One of my multi accounts is still in a government of an allied country and has been CP there years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's why I think this while situation is a little suspect PN. Seems too easy to have got em caught...

Well I know 4 of the banned were 100% real players as I was the one who recruited them from another forum I frequent. K Don was suspected (mainly by PN) and I still reckon it was a subsidary account of a forig player. Buggered if I know about the other 2 though (I didn't update my party list for last few days).

As for mass reporting of players - I think we stopped that when Jimmy went on a recruiting spree as we were willing to risk total numbers over a few random votes that don't actually affect anything?

Well whatever happened it is quite clear that the Pirates cheated. If it had been the other way round we would have never heard the end of it!

Gives you a hard-on, innit? 😃

Wouldn't surprise me if TUP had created them and stuck em in our party. Seems way too convenient to me that we have a good result and for the first time in how long, TUP decide it's time to have admin double check results...

Same thought here. + They have less votes than last election...

So the Pirates get caught cheating and say that it was actually the other side that cheated! 🙂

Yes, because that is the truth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that is what is known as alternative facts. Pirates are dishonest! Who would have thought it!

Good plan, Keithunder, but next time try harder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well seeing as we have been the cleanest party by a long stretch in the recent past, I do believe it to be suspect Keith. It's not our group of players that have been creating admin approved 'research account's now has it...

'Pirates are dishonest!'

tfw all I've said in the past month was that I wasn't happy about being excluded from some PMs and apparently that wasn't even factually accurate

From my experience Rob, you're not counted in the generalisations that are being made. Those that are adding you in to those, are idiots who have never spoken to you.

So why don't you use names instead of generalisations that will of course include innocent bystanders? You are as bad as someone calling all black people lazy...

The irony...

Yes, Mr Cherry, I'm glad you could see the irony in your political outlook.

Yes Wayne, we know, you can't be nice to people. Your heart might grow three sizes and kill you

I'm very nice to those that are very nice to me. You've just never tried, all you've done is dined on what others have said about me. Others that weren't very nice to me, so I wasn't very nice back. Strange how that works, eh?

I've given you plenty of chance man, still do, even right now 😉

Nah, you are passive aggressive.

You enjoy it, don't lie.
