Regarding Micha's interception of stacked sweepers:
Quote:

It was fairly easy, you simply target the whole stack with enough sweepers of your own. Once the other side splits a fleet in orbit (*any* fleet!) Stars! will randomly target all of them! Even fleets you didn't see on your scanners because they are cloaked! This is just something that very very few people know ... those are the things that make experts, well ... "experts". If you don't know it, it's impossible! It will look like magic! ... or cheating <sigh> Not even proving that every move in every game I ever played in was legit will help now, this will never go away. Replying to accusations no longer has a use and apologies are worthless."

This all is my own stupid fault for not knowing any better. I wouldn't even believe myself now and I'm sure you no longer do as well. Situation: I have a record of turns I
shouldn't have, without a sane reason ... nobody will ever believe that after doing this I never crossed the next line. Case closed. Even when seeing that I don't win all my games, heck, I do even had some devestating losses, most of all for example against ccmaster in Reach for the Top.
(Micha)

There are many things Micha could have done better, like ask me or the game host to backup the game files if he had a concern, or think about the possible consequences of his actions. Unfortunately, in this kind of situation, any explanation for how he played or his reasoning, even when true, would look unbelievable to many.

I do hope Micha stays around, as he has been a very big help here on the forum. This situation can be lived down, but will take time. I hope Micha is willing to stick it out.

Micha no longer has Host Utility admin rights, so I see no reason that he should not continue playing in Stars! games. I agree with several people above that he is an excellent help on the forum and should continue helping out. He has vast Stars! experience and can be a great teacher.

I believe Micha is innocent of actual cheating (using any kind of utility to open other people's turn files), even though the circumstantial evidence against him looks bad. (edit) But I may be wrong. I don't want to believe he may have cheated.
