Comments:
the only time one attacked the other (until my elimination):
Round 3 - Joethegreen assaulted Poison Storage from Covert Training and conquered it from PDQHouse - this to secure a continental bonus
Round 4 - PDQHouse assaulted West Hall from Altar and conquered it from Joethegreen & East Hall from Great Hall and conquered it from Joethegreen - this to secure a continental bonus.
Round 5 - Joethegreen attacked and conquered a territory from PDQHouse in order to wipe me off that side of the map... he should have assaulted and taken East Hall so that PDQHouse would not have had 14 troops to drop on next turn (at this point there is very very little between them, apart from troops due)
Round 6 - Joethegreen conquers one from PDQHouse in order to secure a continental bonus and PDQHouse goes through 2 of Joethegreens s in order to eliminate me.

Then, after I have been eliminated in round 6, Joethegreen misses his turn in round 7 and round 8 (!) & PDQHouse (the higher ranked of the two) wins the game. very, very convinient...

also, looking through their game histories they seem to play quite a lot together... of pdqhouse's 58 games, joethegreen is involved in 27! and both are registered within a couple of weeks of one another.

i realise it would be strange for someone to pay for two premium accounts in order to "cheat", just very strange the way the game went. I'm not being a sore loser, look at my profile you will see that I lose most games and have never raised a concern like this before...

anyway, just thought i'd put it out here for whoever decides these things to decide ...

if i'm wrong, no hard feelings i hope...

These are two different people, I know them both personally. Most of the games I play now only involve people I know and you would see that I also play a lot of games with them.

[PDQHouse]

Let me know what I need to provide to prove my innocence and I will provide it.

Thanks.

[Joethegreen]

I too would like the opportunity clear my name. I find this accusation rather appalling.

Well, I can testify that they aren't using multiple accounts since my roommate and I got them both addicted, haha. But I have to admit I can definitely see why you might assume secret diplomacy. I would prolly be pretty suspicious myself, but to be honest I doubt it was a conscious effort on their part. I will be sure to have a little chat with them to make that it wasn't intentional. It prolly hurt your rank a good bit losing to them, so I understand your concern that someone might be going around cheating and hurting other people's ranks as well, but I assure you it was just a misunderstanding and that it won't happen again, bro. Thanks for understanding!

no, i'm not bothered by rank or who i lose too, as stated in OP I only win about 15% of games i play.

As you say above, it is very suspicious, especially the way one of them dissappers and misses all turns as soon as i am eliminated.

Oh no, I did not mean to insinuate that you were doing this out of spite or because of loss of rank; sorry if I came across that way.

Just from knowing their characters, I am assuming it wasn't a intended alliance and that Joethegreen prolly missed his turns because he was busy student teaching. You do what you need to though. Best of luck getting it sorted out!

This report shall be noted for future reference. We would need more than one game that involves suspicious plays from the two to further support the allegation of a possible secret alliance between them. They are cleared of being multis.
