Accused:

Beer
Mahuffma

The accused are suspected of:

Conducting Secret Diplomacy
Other: Throwing the game

Game number(s):

Game 8291555

Comments: Early in the game beer placed for a couple turns on cayabi, to take my only bonus at the time in the eastern forest. I had been keeping mahuffma from collecting on his +6 bonus of the southern forest for a few turns, but was unable to stop him the following turns. beer then let mahuffma collect on the +6 bonus twice while both kept borders too a minimum without mentioning a truce at that time. Later red announces offers a truce to General Grevious (the troop leader) in chat, and gets it in exchange for giving General Grevious an addition +5 bonus. The following turn General Grevious wipes out any real competition and is to get 22 troops the next turn. While they did announce a truce, letting General Grevious collect on that seems like intentionally throwing the game (giving him a larger bonus was as well) when he has such a commanding lead. They don't have any other games together, and normally I would expect new players making mistakes, but 2 incidents in 1 game is suspicious.

Summary of what i suspect:
Secret diplomacy between beer and mahuffma
Throwing the game by mahuffma for general grevious

Beer and Mahuffma are CLEARED of secret diplomacy. Just because he breaks your bonus and doesn't break someone else isn't secret diplomacy. When Mahuffma had his bonus Beer only had a couple of countries and I don't think he was in the position to break the bonus.

About throwing a game players make alliances at what they think is best for them. I don't think Mahuffma was throwing the game when the alliance was made. He is CLEARED.

On a side note Beer has been BUSTED with Alberta Republic for being a multi.
