Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 17:15:34 -0000Having not looked at the list for a while I find a veritable can of
worms awaiting me including libellous slurs.Not only is there the question of cheating but also the that of wild
and innacurate allegations presented without a shred of evidence. I
can't comment on 71 but in 88 I can say these allegations are
complete rubbish.Harad was on the ropes when taken over by a dropout. The DS team held
back their attack whilst negotiating with Harad who intimated a
desire to join us. Due to problems communicating with the player we
thought this might be a ruse such as the one your Sinda player tried
on the Corsairs, so went back to attacking them after a turn or two.
I still have all the e-mails in which our team discusses this at
length and am happy, with our teams approval to forward them on to
Clint. I am sure Clint is both qualified and happy to look over the
relevant turns and judge whether there was wrongdoing.Perhaps it might have been better to approach him first, as the games
GM, before broadcasting your serious and slanderous accusations in a
public medium about a team of your fellow players. I suggest you
immediately retract your damaging allegations and apologise.I have played this game for almost 10 years and whilst I have been
accused of many things cheating is not generally one of them. I find
your utterly unfounded accusation grossly offensive. Has it occured
to you that your side is losing because we have played better than
you or maybe are you one of those players who only ever lose
games 'because they cheated'?Chris Courtiour
