the Fields Medal is often referred to as 'the nobel prize of mathematics'. while you're correct that it's not technically a nobel prize, there is certainly some ambiguity.

eukar, the "j" vs "y" can cause a little confusion, as can the word "got" vs "won" vs "accepted". didn't both pavlov and perelman win?

petel87, you compared him to Hitler and implied that he should have never been born. are you sure you want to push the issue?

not only have we been shown no evidence, the only info we have on MsPiggy is that there's a temporary suspension. we don't know if that's a hold while they investigate or if that's the punishment. we don't know for how long. and while we can speculate, we don't even know for certain what MsPiggy's been accused/convicted of. it's a stunning lack of communication.

but whatever frustration we have with this situation, there's still some disappolinting flaming going on. can't we be better?

meh, i don't interpret 1 second literally.

oh! so you're suggesting that the temporary suspension might BE the decision rather than a hold while they make the decision. interesting. if so, they should simply announce the length, so we can all stop speculating.

every 20 seconds would give pretty decent odds of hitting someone seemingly the second they exited safety. so, if true, why is the suspension just temporary?

i am not my position. i'm trying to approach this as a problem separate from my allegiances. if you're telling me it happened once, i'm not impressed that it's cheating. if you're telling me it's happened multiple times, it'd take a tremendous amount of diligence on the part of the attacker. if you're telling me it's happening every time, it's certainly very suspicious. and assuming you're truthful, i would expect the admins to give it a hard look. what i don't understand is why months of logs didn't result in a more definitive decision and announcement one way or the other. that's what's prolonging this unpleasantness.

while that kind of precision is certainly possible on occasion with a bit of luck, it's unlikely to occur with regularity without 3rd party assistance.
...perhaps there's a traitor in your clan.

V3nG3nC3X, isn't the slogan: "Made from the Best Stuff on Earth"?

Thucydides, isn't the quote: "We have met the enemy, and he is us"?

this shouldn't be about "your people" and "my people." this should be about honest play and dishonest play. is it not revealing that all of the posts in support of the player-in-question seem to be members of that player's clan, and all of the posts making accusations are not? whichever side you find yourself on, i'd ask that you look hard into your motives.

alright, what am i missing here? how is this ambiguous or wrong?

According to the proverb, there's more than one way to skin which animal?

lol, alright. i concede the point. my apologies.

d00ml0rd, 6 words into that post, you call a whole slew of players "dorks". i'm not sure why you persist in namecalling, but i can assure you that the credibility of anything written after the 6th word of your post has been compromised.

some observations:

1) the namecalling needs to stop. period. we can discuss the matter respectfully or not at all.

2) it is evident from the description in Miklos's post that the suspected breach is the third one, third party software. that explains the hesitation in an administrative decision.

3) the investigation is going on too long. if there is not sufficient evidence, free Piggy. if there is sufficient evidence, take appropriate action. the lengthy investigation is cruel and unusual. if Piggy is not guilty, this is hugely unfair. passively allowing a temp suspension to resolve the matter by default is ethically wrong.

4) it's difficult to accuse someone of cheating who's beating you without sounding like sour grapes. none of us 'know' for certain what Piggy did or didn't do. i know that i don't know of any cheating, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't have occurred. D00mlord, you reveal your bias by saying you concluded 6 months ago.

(i'll judge you on your own merit. )

*smacks forehead* Viridel, you're right!

Viridel, our clan appreciates dueling success. we both recruit and collaborate with that in mind. our horde bonus gives us an advantage in said category. i don't find it very interesting at all that we've a disproportionate number of players ranked highly in the category. i find it logical - just as logical as the sting of an emerald's spell.

isn't the walk-softly-but-carry-a-big-stick quote sufficiently well-known? why was this question regarded as ambiguous/wrong?

According to Theodore Roosevelt, how should one walk while carrying a big stick?

confidently
authoritatively
softly
backwards
