big surprise. company 2.

confusion at company 2.
how can it be?
the performance from company 1 was much better than company 2.


ST2 you observed this. I am very interested about the reason from this very very big miracle.



A.D.

Were they really confused at company 2?

Because there is only 1 reason I can think of why this happened, and it's one of the oldest cheats in the book. It has nothing to do with our server or a bug (although arguments could be made for it being a bug, but it's a known game mechanism for years).

We will look into this, if that cheat is used and we can prove it, the result will be changed and the players in that company will be punished for it.

Thanks for reporting this.

AlexF admitted it and he's now warned that can't happen again with him. That means he's on zero tolerance now ^^

After some chats about this subject and because he never tried to deny it and his words were AlexF (Spectator): did not know that it's againt the rule (I'll believe now), the game winning and points of the game were removed.

Thank you Arthur Dent for the reporting. If someone spots something similar, screenshot company vehicles lists too. Will help us admins take faster decisions.

AlexF and cascades: since you're on same company, but AlexF took the guilt (*), the "zero tolerance" applies to AlexF only. The consequences of a repetition/rule break doesn't always mean a ban!! (cortex's punishement, for example ^^)

I hope won't happen again and wish good and fun games to all

*Edit: I guess cascades is now on 1 tolerance: <+ttd-srv9> AlexF (Spectator): thank you, ST2. it's all my fault. it's not fair to blame cascades

Arthur Dent, I'm really sorry. It will never happen again.
