Ok first off i understand that another round of 3 day vacation rewards have been handed out to the cheaters. However would like to put some words out in defense of evony.

First off to all those who claim to have been suspended and never cheated, frankly you are all lieing you know it, i know it and evony knows it. I play on ss2 and decided to do a quick check on who was and who was not banned. This is what i discovered, some alliances seemed to be completely devoid of members on vacation. While for some alliances it seemed that everyone decided to vacation at the exact same time. What that tells me is that the cheating alliances got shut down while the non cheating alliances were untouched. With this established it is obvious that evony is able to detect at least some of the **** out there.

What i would like to see is for cheaters to be actually punished instead of rewarded, I for one am seriously considering running the *** just so I can receive a vacation from evony.

Possible punishments i would like to see is public shaming, an example might be status set to "cheater" this is for two reasons, the first being the way it currently is if someone were to legitimately PAY to go on vacation the community in general would assume them to be cheating. The second being public shaming works. these type of punishments are best for first time offenders.

Another strategy might be to afflict cheating accounts with a penalty, for example a hard limit to the number of soldiers they can field, march times are doubled, heros are much more likely to defect.... things of this nature that do not stop play but are certainly annoying to deal with. These type of punishments are best for second offenses.

For third time and any subsequent offenses should result in accounts being reset or deleted.
