Norfleet - sorry to hear you are leaving Dom2. While I don't necessarily "like" you (I'm sure you don't care) and I don't think your spy tactics in the game against Stormbinder (which were detailed ad nauseum in a thread) were ethical....I do think that you were probably the most knowledgable, responsive, and helpful person on this board in general. Thanks for the responses, help, and for answering what probably seemed like silly questions over and over.

Anyway, I hope you decide to return to DOM2 at some point. I don't think most people bought the "Stormbinder Inquisition" thing...it seemed like you were being unecessarily hassled most of the time.

Cheers,
John

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

Don't you think that was a little uncalled for Storm? I don't know his problem, but it doesn't seem typical of Norf to bail on a game, kinda looks like he was doing well.
I'm doing reasonably well, but that's not the reason I have for leaving. Because of a string of fortuitous, or perhaps not so, events, regarding other games, I have decided it is best for everyone if I leave Dominions II for an indefinite length of time, rather than have more games thrown into question of whether or not events that transpire constitute cheating or not. Frankly, I was starting to get a little exhausted with Dom2, anyway. While I normally don't cut and bail from games, especially not when losing, I don't happen to be losing here, and this is why I am cutting it loose.

If people prefer, I can keep going for a few more days until I have de-sensitized the password I am using, and then dump the game on a sub. Normally, I don't give out passwords, but since I'm pulling out of all Dominions II games, the password no longer possesses value.

I am sorry JJ_Colorado.

I didn't relize that a lot of people haven't seen that thread. Norfleet have been officialy busted for his blatant cheating in our MP, and Illwinter themself confirmed it. He had 4800 gems worth of stuff on turn 23 as Ermor in our game, while haveing no gem income whatsoever. We have send all files to Illwinter and they are working on it right now.

Read the thread I've posted for more details.

And don't worry about appology to me after you done, I understand why you may feel this way if you haven't read the today's tread that I just posted link to. I should include it in my original message. I guess I was tooinvolved in it and assumed that by now everybody have already seen it. My own mistake.

Regards,
Stormbinder

WOW! That is pretty compelling evidence. I don't want to play in a game w/ Norfleet. Turn 22 and he had that much stuff? That is keeeeerazy.

Well I am done playing Dom II for a while. I have played in many games with Norfleet and spent way to much time trying to figure out strategies against him and all were but a waste of my time. I feel insulted and somewhat foolish. I have been playing strategy games for 20+ years and have seen this happen over and over. I just had hoped (very naive) that this community was immune, since it seemed to have a more intelligent and mature group of gamers involved. Sadly the cycle repeats itself and yet another game that I loved in multiplayer is tainted by cheaters.

-I wish this game would continue. Wars are breaking out in the south and Norfleet has NOTHING to do with our good clean blood-letting!

Seems like a heck of a time to quit, now that the cheater is exposed. I'd think you'd be ready to try a fair game.
