Can you help the mods out? Why do you believe they are conducting secret diplomacy? Is it because of one instance or the whole game?

They are both CLEARED of being multis.

Cant see much until the fog is lifted, but here is what I see in the log.
Round 4 you hit doc, he hits back.
Round 5 you hit doc, he hits neutral.
Round 6 you hit doc, he hits neutral.
Round 7 you both hit neutral.
Round 8 you hit rob, doc hits neutral, rob hits you.
Round 9 you hit neutral, doc hits rob heavily, rob counters doc...

This is where I stop and ask you to be more specific on why you think there is secret diplomacy going on.

Other then round 9 (and keep in mind we are now in round 16), doc hasn't hit rob at all. While I admit that it is possible that he is just a terrible player or he is hoping that rob will blow out his troops trying to kill me, it just doesn't make any sense for that to happen. I play a lot of 3 player games and rarely does the player in second place continually pound the third place player without even touching the top guy. While I know this isn't enough to suspect him of being a multi, I have never been wrong (possibly before now) when suspecting someone of being a multi, and I have pointed out 4 or 5 in the last few months.

- Most multis have similar names - check
- Multis must come from the same country (unless they are border jumping - lol) - check
- One of the 2 multi teams will usually be an unpaid account (most people are too cheap to pay for 2 accounts) - check
- One of the 2 multi teams will have a low amount of games - check (well I would consider 200 to be low compared to most on here)
- Multis usually are silent, or at least one of them is - check (in this case not a word out of either, even with me being a prick in the comments, which was really more of a test :))
- Multis act suspiciously and play with tactics that don't make any sense - check


1) I would just ask that you check their IPs to make sure they are indeed different people.
2) I am not sure how you check for secret diplomacies, but the fact that he hasn't even tried to attack a player with a clear round in the latter half of the game speaks to a diplomacy. I am hoping it is worth your time to look into this as well.

Like I said above, I don't have you look into much, and so far I haven't been incorrect even once (not to say it couldn't be today, but just so you know I don't do this at the drop of a hat).

Im looking for more info on the secret diplomacy angle. With no proof its very difficult to do anything.
Since its fog, I cant even see what territories are being attacked until the game is over.

Regarding the multis:

I ran through the log a couple times without the fog and there is nothing that convinces me there was secret diplomacy.

Both players are cleared
