Well me and my missus play the game at the same address and her brother plays and he is round our house quite often so this will look dodgey, I've msgd 3 diff emails about this and got no reply! So why I should try and justify myself to admins who don't reply to play a game with just over 100 members is beyond me! Then our members get deleted with no communication! (This was in addition to a member of Laf encouraging us to run multis!) which considering we are mainly new players was wrong

As a general practice, I (and other mods) do not give too many details regarding deletions in public areas. But I will indulge you in this case since you have decided to give misinformation. First, you received several replies to your emails regarding deletions including me and a game developer. Our messages originally stemmed from a plethora of red flags thrown up that normally indicates cheating. The first round of deletions happened, and it was only by our good graces that you and SophieGrace were allowed to keep your original countries. Shortly thereafter, another game admin decided to take a look at the situation and decided that there was enough evidence to delete those two countries. If you appealed these deletions, you certainly did not give me or anyone else enough time to review and address the appeal. I address each appeal that I have the opportunity to see. It appears that you both cancelled your appeals and created new countries. Once the appeal has been cancelled and new countries have been created, there is very little moderators and game admins can do further. In essence, you accepted the deletion and moved forward. In the case of your third family member involved, his appeal was simply a vulgar statement to moderators ... in which a response was not given or merited. This third player then went on to cheat even more, which resulted in additional deletions.
Regardless of what was being discussed or investigated, none of you were ever safelisted. Players not on the safelist should not play from the same household/IP and login in a manner that would suggest it is one player running multiple accounts. There was much more damning evidence in this fiasco, but that is all I will (and probably should) say on the subject. We do not want to discourage new players from joining and continuing to enjoy the game, and we also do not want to discriminate against family and friends playing... but we also expect those players to follow the rules and follow proper procedure when special circumstances are to be considered. However, this was not simply a case of three family members playing from the same household/internet connection.
On a separate related note: This server has needed some additional attention lately. The admins are aware of this and have made adjustments.
