I have seen too many people cheating on the GOTM when I administrated it to I think that cheating on a game like this can be translated to what (s)he would be in real life. Still, I don't understand why anyone would do it. What's the fun of winning a game when you cheated? Why would you cheat at all if it's just a game?!
What will happen when we have another reunion of CDZ?

I've thought about this and the only scenario that makes sense to me is something along the lines that Erikk indicated. Sky and Killer were more vociferous than anyone in the Ribannah witch hunt. As Erikk has indicated Sky has been suspicious that he has been cheated against on more than one occasion. My guess - and thats all it is - is that at some point Sky has reached breaking point and thought - fuck it, if you cant beat them, might as well join them - and has cheated to demonstrate how fucked off he has become by the whole process. I'm not justifying anything, just trying to understand how this might have happened.
Bottom line? It's a game. No-one died. Get over it.

Didn't Sky give the idea of going to his house in France someday in the summer ? I'm not asking anything, but at least I hope his reputation will be cleaned up a little by then... Anyway, I have a solution for those who fear other people can cheat in PBEMs : only play PBEMs in CDZ reunions !!!

@Anarres: If such a statement is made I'll try to bring it to CFC team (with Yndy's help) to make sure they understand this had no implications on ISDG.

I dont think this has any implications at all for ISDG.
Cheating by editing the saves would need the collusion of the whole team and thats never going to happen - especially here with lots of players joining the discussions. All the saves are available and have been loaded by many different players.

I have spoken with the ISDG admins and the matter is already being investigated and dealt with.

Yep.
Still, Kemal simply lost a lot of time in what he thought would be fun...

I feel that I have to explain myself. I totally understand Kemal's point of view and also understand that he feels betrayed. Therefore I agree with the steps taken, which are pretty painful for Sky I'd say. But despite what he did I like to stay in contact with him. He did a lot of things for me that I'm thankful for.
