Hi,
[If you are not a real life member of US Armed Services could you please refer this to the one you might know and have them read it, I'd appreciate it a lot.]
thanks for your help. Too keep it as short as possible; my villages are being attacked by two players, "Rupert" and "Cornelius". "Fight Club" names are used to protect their privacy.
The emails you gonna read are real.
"Rupert" is a real life US Marine who is deploying for Afghanistan, "Cornelius" is seemingly just a teenage boy, most probably from United Kingdom. Although our tribes are at war and "Rupert" is our in-game enemy, he wished us goodbye as he is a Personal Ally of one of my tribe members, and they knew each other from way back.
So...
Here is "Rupert's" goodbye email.
[spoil]
Right.
Now all of a sudden "Rupert", who has allegedly quit, starts attacking us.
What we do know is that "Cornelius" is account sitting him and other way around, so when one guy is sleeping and away the other guy is sitting his account. As per this email when "Cornelius" sent to my other tribe member, also a Personal Ally of his own, lets call him "X":
[spoil]
Ok, so we have now established that also.
Here is the real whopper. I'm gonna let you read the exchange between "Rupert" and myself and you tell me what you think is wrong with this picture.
[spoil]
Now, another pass at the same email, this time with factual parts he got wrong plus contradictions and the facts he got right highlighted, numbered and discussed:
[spoil]
Right... let's go through this step by step:
(1) [spoil]Didn't he claim he is shipping off next month, no time to play, in the Goodbye email? Ok, now lets move onto first big factual error, number...[/spoil]
(2) [spoil]Aren't M16A2, M16A4 and most recently M4 standard Marine Core Infantry weapons? Or they decided to keep going with Don Rumsfeld's plan of poor quality armor for vehicles and outdated weaponry that would deliver a victory on a low budget, the typical thinking of a CEO with his heyday during the golden time of the 80s before the market crashed.[/spoil]
(3) [spoil]Correct! The ISAF RC Capital is rotating between Italy, Turkey and Hungary and the ISAF RC North is predominantly German with some Scandinavians in support. Yes, Americans are dealing with the most dangerous regions; Baluchistan and Waziristan in the South and East, close to the border with Pakistan.[/spoil]
(4) [spoil]Uuuuhhh! The big one, the big one... First; the base in White Sands, New Mexico is the missile proving range. Yet in the pop culture it is also known as the place where (as UFO conspiracy nut cases claim) the allegedly downed UFO's are being test driven in a secret government projects. Also not part of the so called Area 51 near Las Vegas.
Second; US Marines train somewhere near San Diego on the West Coast, and in Quantico on the East Coast. Right?[/spoil]
(5) [spoil]That machine gun I completely made up. Don't know what it really is, a toaster? The actual machine gun I was referring to is M2HB. Even with (2) I am sort of led to believe after watching the movies such as "Jarhead" (also red the novel by Anthony Swofford) and "Full Metal Jacket" that after repeating thousands of times: "This is my rifle, it is part of me, without it I'm nobody" a real Marine would correct me in regards to what kind of weapons they are using. Am I wrong?[/spoil]
For me, there are reasonable grounds to believe it is "Cornelius" behind both accounts, which is considered cheating.
My feelings for admiration for USMC and "Rupert" are genuine, but I believe it is "Cornelius" who might be pulling all the strings. My feelings of loathing for cheating are also genuine.
At the moment I have 12 attacks coming at me from all of their villages, and the first one that hit was a nuke. I'm preparing to make my last stand, post a goodbye message to my fellow tribe members and leave when and if all the nukes and nobles hit.
Please forgive if some areas seem unclear and patchy as I just came into the apartment from outside an hour ago. Trying to organize defenses and write this at the same time makes for poor concentration.
I don't want to put in a complaint until I have some opinions about it. Full disclosure: yes, we suspected this happened once before, we put in a complaint and it came back negative (not cheating) that time.
Still, something just doesn't look right about it though. True, it could be a nice clean shot they took at me, and if so my congratulations to "Rupert" and "Cornelius" will be passed on after my game exit. Still, it just keeps bugging me. After investing my time and money into this entertainment product I'd like to know things were fair.
The English game admin might not take it seriously, so I'm thinking of going straight to the Germans, but there could be a language barrier of course. Apparently, the way the check is done, somebody actually checks it manually, and there is NO way to know for sure via a yes/no computer check as I was told with our previous complaint.
Please don't quote this whole original post, just the part of what strikes you the most about something, or a specific point / spoiler.
If you decide to post and you are in USMC or US Army, thank you and if you could list some of your experience that would be much appreciated.
Thank you again,
Orion.
