Is this our first CHEATER or a severe bug?

Well, one feature i would like is:

Ability to ban people from a game.
It can be really annoying if the dont get they arent wanted and rejoin again and again and again...

I also watched the replay of the aforementioned battle and was disgusted by the perfidy I was presented with in this game.
There's no means against committing fratricide with crawling bombs.
Using the Sumos for attacking one's ally by giving them to the enemy could be countered by the game not allowing the sharing with non-allies as long as there are allies.
So sharing-with-enemies tricks would still at least be usable in FFA type or 1vs1 games.

I was the server at that game Folke speaks of so I can verify his story

[Folke]

And have Betalord put in a system that bans people trying to "new ID" around their reputations!

Eh, any idea how that should work? I see no way of determining someone has another account...

edit: I had the same posting error as folke!

That's easely fixed.
You have to request a account on this forum in a poll, after a week 50%+ is in favor of a account we regester one for him/her.
We can also use the public key infrastructure I think.

Look the point is not that we can make it VERY hard to cheat it's that it will take (a lot of) effort that can be used to improve the game on other front's.

Can't say that I even in the least would support sutch a system. The longest I would like to go would be to MAYBE force people to leave an email adress when registering a new account in the client. And then demand a unsed email adress for each account. I think thou that even this is a drastic solution, just simply making it possible to kick people ingame would be nice thou :)
