Public Tribunal

I don't see this as 'cheating' rather its what I used to hear called 'Multi'ing' (Multiple accounts). Still lame, but easily corrected with a ban on transfering resources to each other.

there's absolutely no point in even coding the ability of putting up such bans on trading between 2 accounts.
There's at least 2 other games that disallows trading between accounts who shared an IP.
Needless to say that me nor anyone else who played with relatives ever had problems in getting resources from account A to account B.

Now about 'cheating'. Cheating as used in this topic is any breach of rules, in effect someone cheating on others for their effort who abide by the rules. Feeding itself is illegal.

Personally I'd say these two account are cheating because either the smaller account is inactive and just siphons away the resources to the larger account (assuming we're talking 2 people using 2 accounts, so no 'multying') which is illegal according SPECIFIC RULES #1.
Or we're talking 1 person who somehow got hold of the second account (bought or having been given, whatever) which means that person is breaking GENERAL RULE #1.
So pick one

so anyways i'd like to conclude this case, so my suggested punishment is as follows:

removal of 2 times the excess units received by Account 2
banning of account 1
account 2 being granted a unique race for a week where they receive:
-10 points to all stats
-no bonus whatsoever in researching anything

Potentially maybe harsher sentence than necesary but I feel an example has to be made of. A few more of those and people will learn to draw the line very quickly or suffer the consequences

This is a war game, perhaps an appropriate punishment should be violent. How about a public stoning (massing) at a designated time for a designated duration? Perhaps the Alliances can choose their massers for the punishment.

not gonna happen, no one wants to waste their resources, although i could give them out like a government grant, it's still a pointless idea as eventually someone will break the rules who has nothing to destroy

removal of 2 times the excess units received by Account 2

so just 100 % of all he recieved from the account!

then actually the money he payed for it will be the punishment ?

no, punishment in uu removal hurts more than kuwal that has already been sent
If you would need to pay 1$ for a bus ticked, but the penalty for not having one would only be 1$, then you'd be better off not buying the ticket and worst case scenario should you actually get checked, pay the 1$ fine.

very good decision. Couldn't agree with you more

account 2 is the small one not ?

well it is a hard punishment but a good example indeed be warned

Isnt it possible he bought it off someone?
If not, then the offender should be punished as mentioned before.
