So how 'bout those Mets?

Johan:

No need to go all conspiracy minded. The simpler explanation is that Norfleet either hacked the files or used some sort of glitch he discovered, which would be tantamount to cheating. Add to the submitted files that Norfleet has, on more than one occasion I believe, triggered the cheat protections in the game, and also to my knowledge he is one of the very few if not the only forum acitve player that has done this in MP. While it is not irrefutably certain that he did cheat I think it is by far the most likely and obvious explanation.

Oh, I agree 100% that it is more _likely_ that Norfleet was cheating - Occam's Razor and all that. I simply (?) wanted to raise an alternative theory that, while not as simple, could also explain things. I'm certainly also willing to admit that I'm willing to give Norfleet more of a benefit of the doubt that Stormbinder, but that's a matter of history and personal animosity.

Both Stormbinder and I would be disqualified from an jury for this matter that didn't believe in "hang first, ask questions later".

The chalice dissappeared because the knights of the chalice came and quested for it.

So the knights might be carrying the chalice now? Interesting. Thanks.

Cainehill,your alternative theory implies also that Norfleet was cheating...makes really no difference.

Lets go with some facts for the conspiracy theory(I already pointed out this):

-Norfleet did play his turns in this game,undoubtable.
-He receives nearly every turn a lot of gems out of nowhere
-He uses this to his advantage,forging lots of items,summoning lots of things,instead of telling anyone whats happening.


----> he cheated

The only difference between an unknown third party giving Norfleet the gems and him being the actual hacker is,that within the conspiracy theory we would have several cheaters.
But the fact alone,that he even at the end tried to explain his wealth by inventing things,makes the conspiracy theory VERY unlikely...and there are lots of other facts,that make it even more unlikely.
