So there's been a mass ban? That's awesome. I'm going to start playing again.
Yeah, rank 1 had multis within their ranks being used to boost their train attacks. The same person was also responsible for the creation of most of the Equis alliance as well. Others had been caught account sharing (or teleporting around the world for logging in purposes). Same old names and same old actions - Same ones I'd caught doing it in the days before quitting playing in alliances.
The creator still exists, and he does still check in. I doubt that will stop those people cheating or ruining rounds (much like this one), but people amongst those remaining will be a lot more active in ensuring he takes glancing checks more regularly.
