Well to start off, I've got a moderator sending me responses from a PM I sent to an admin due to the M3 bans now I'm not that intelligent but I do know when some crap is going on.

I send a PM to Joe along the lines of "Why is Rildor getting his ban revoked after a simple 72 hours is it because he's a donator?" I get a response from Routhy about it (nothing from Joe) and he responds with this:

Now again I'm not a rocket scientist but why is a moderator doing an admins work and why is the mail I sent Joe deleted from my out box all of a sudden and why is Routhy responding to a mail he was never involved with in the first place?

He then sent me this after I asked why he is contacting me about this when it's the admins job:


Why does a mod have the authority to lengthen or shorten a permanent ban?

Here's one bit of evidence, Dommy unknowing that I'd post this on forum said him and Rildor were doing this for multiple rounds ever since NC released and as Simmen even said if you've played over 2 years you know the damn rules and shouldn't be breaking them yet he comes up with and excuse:

He's a donator, I understand you get special rights as I'd expect some being one as well but to sit there and use it as an excuse and say you did nothing wrong after saying you helped farm for him. Come on now.


You slapped their wrist again and let them off the hook you say no more petty cheating and you go against your own words.


I did private message you back and you ignored me and a moderator messages me back after a day and a half saying he does your job for you. This is complete crap. I've never liked Joe and having a moderator do your work and have control over the game flow is complete crap, I expect Andrew and Michael to review this and fix the flaws in the staff.

Why the hell is a moderator doing admin work, he's no staff he's doing volunteer work and he has authority over the game, mods only got power to check ban lengths not alter them this game just lost a whole lot of cred from me, I'll follow Cruz's path and just quit giving a damn. This whole ban just proves *removed* you can get away with anything you want.

Never again will you get a payment from me, and expect me to cheat in the future if the bans aren't turned permanent.

Edit - You're full of crap Routhy, you and Rildor are friends how many eras have you played together? This is complete crap and every player would agree after seeing this crap. Moderators doing admin work after an admin refuses to do his duty.

Edit by Andrew: I removed the profanity from your post, I understand you are upset about this situation but screaming profanities will do nothing but discredit you, please keep it clean.

Lol this is such bull dude. You know Rildor got a fair punishment. The farmer should get a perma ban and the farms should get a temp ban. I’m good friends with Rildor and we have a very long history, going all the way back to the old client on E7 and i can honestly say Rildor would never agree to cheat. Not on purpose at least.

Now I also know Routhy and Rildor really do dislike each other. But i know Routhy and I know he’s a stand up guy when it comes to doing the right thing. He put aside their differences and made a decision based on facts and not based on favouritism in anyway. In other words he did his job to the T.

Now my question is why are you getting into this, you’re not involved in any way. Admin Joe made a ruling on this and you should respect it.

Joe did no ruling, he said he'd punish them no more smacking the hands it's time to end the cheating and said if there are any problems message him which I did right away and got a mail from a moderator. Routhy decided the length not Joe.

My team mate got a permanent for doing the same thing as Rildor, Knights, and Kodak and they get off free slate but he doesn't. Of course this involves me he's a team mate and the ruling isn't fair.

Edit - As for another way of showing him being an elaborate farm he chose a random misleading in-game name when we all decided on using our real in-game names at beginning.. So if he truly WAS on the roster he'd of known rather than making a farm name such as this:

dude ? This better not be numair. I am a good friend with rildor ?? omg you cant be friend with an backstabbing cheating person like him that convience others to leave and conquer the alliance they just were in. And rildor deserves what he gained. He said i joined the alliance and i decided to quite so i gave him ressources and left the alliance. This is not allowed.

That's fine, made sure I didn't bypass the filter, anger is gone now though just frustrated at the circumstances.

Edit - Now my first post just looks completely bad. . . Like a rainbow almost can someone add some yellow and maybe purple?

I've gotta agree with andrew on this one...

The change of ban lengths was probably ok, simply because i know that there was a lot of discussion between joe, rildor, and routhy about the situation... I had sent a message to Joe via PM on the forums to see if i could render assistance, but i never got a reply.
Later on, in msn, both rildor and routhy had told me that they had talked with joe and gotten the ban shortened.... which due to the circumstances, i can understand why.

The one point that concerns me that anarchy brought up, is that Routhy was able to reply to a message that was sent to joe.... this could have simply been forwarded to routhy, seeing as he was one of the primary arguers for the banned people, and joe felt the need to show it to him, but i agree that there should have been some discretion when handling PM privacy.

i completely agree with psycho on this... i have known dommy for years... ever since i started the BFPT empire with him... back then it was USMC... i decided to quit because i found out he farmed and openly asked me if i had friends who would make farms for him... i am glad he is finally perma banned, but on the case with rildor/kodak i personally know that Rildor will never cheat at this game, he is 100% anti cheat
