Of course I'm being condescending and arrogant towards someone who cheated.
Thanks for noticing one of my better qualities. :cheer:

All very well said. I would like to add something. If you use a B*O*T it interfaces with their server right? It would stand to reason it sends pings or something on a fairly regular basis yes?
Wouldn't that put a strain on the server? It would increase lag and cost Evony some cash for the wasted bandwidth yes?
So besides driving away players that don't use 3rd party software, it costs Evony money on the front end as well.
Did you recall the heavy lag from most servers?
I can assume that at one point every players who uses botts farm at the exact time or very close to. I can safely assume it causes major lag and the first suspense cleared some of these lag.
There were benefit from the suspension, but many players out of anger wanted more, more punishment..
Incorrect. Using the evony client is what caused the lag. Check your task manager when you are playing evony and you will find your browser is using 100% CPU usage all the time it is running. This overload is what causes the lag.
Most Flash based game will do the same thing to your CPU.
The 3rd party progs did not have pretty graphics, so they used 2% CPU usage.
Also, the excuse for having to use the programs for feeding troops is also a phallacy. It's just for the people who don't put in the time to play.
I went on holiday for 3 weeks over xmas and worked hard farming to build troops to defend my city while I was gone. Manually built up over 1 billion food to cover the period. It wasn't hard, it just took time. Never even got scouted while I was gone, let alone attacked. lol
And I wasn't farming for the food, I was farming for the lumber and iron to build troops. The food always builds up faster than you can use it if you put the hours in. So a large army can be sustained manually. Just not if you want a life away from your computer.
So, In January, After a holiday, I decided not to spend the same hours, so I found the download and ran it till the first round a few weeks ago.
I got put on holiday. No complaints.
I got sick of playing on that server so decided to run it again to see how long it would take the permaban hammer.
Got an email within the hour but continued to play till maintenance after which the ban took effect.
Still not complaining. I wanted it, I asked for it, and I was impressed how quick it came around this time.
Grats to evony on a good job. Ya caught me fair and square and passed sentence. Well done.
