Here is just one discussion in the private forum that I took out and put here so that all the Veterans may shine light onto a beginner who has ruined my game. Maybe Ill miss a few things to mention.

Let me rephrase that,

As to ending the game because of what Nmid did to it, I could go either way.

As to declaring a winner, it's way to early for that.

Hmmmm... disclosing intel about a race and calling an end to a game have NO relation to each other.

Let's be realistic.. what exactly did I do apart from pointing out that Amazons and centurians are running away with the game?
I could have posted the exact fleet sizes and intel, but due to a lack of time, I went for an easier option.

Anyways, Crocs and taka-taka have been saying the same for the past 15 years.

Calling an end to the game because of "what Nmid did to it" sounds as if I've hacked, crashed, cheated, changed the balance of the game.
Wow.
Talk about making a mountain of a molehole.


Nmid you are completely wrong in thinking disclosing Intel about a race and calling an end to a game have no relation to each other. Your logic is weak with no points to back it up so please read and learn our point of view so that you may have understanding. A small part of some of us think our hard work has been slightly ruined and that we should just quit now and start a new. Some players may now see my empire and compare it with there own and feel like they have no chance making them want to quit.

I am glad I only looked at your turn for under 1 minute and forgot the PW. I wish I didn't look but figured everyone else did and I didn't want them to have the unfair advantage.
The advantage mostly goes to them due to your scouting being most recently in my empire. So we all got to cheat by looking but many of us negatively effected, more so than others. There is no positives that I can think of by posting a Game PW before the game ends. Id rather scout on my own with my own skills.

No one asked for your game password. You should have just shown your ally.

These games last months or years. We put 100's of hours into one single game if it lasts long enough. All it takes is 1 cheat or something else to take all the fairness out of the game to make it worthless to play. All those hours we put into the game, Sweat, loss of sleep, time we could have spent with our wives all down the drain over a simple act you do without thinking of how it effects others.

Maybe knowing our feelings of seeing you post game files early will make you understand what you did was wrong and not debatable.

Here are a few reasons how you have changed the balance of the game. Afterwards you will have a few Ah-ha moments.

By showing your game files before end game everyone can see how big my empire is, I have spent lots of resources keeping peoples scouts out of my empire which they now see. They see many mines in space I have, Where my HW is, my borders, they see my pop, They see my designs and they see my war fleet.

They see my Hab, and those who have my hab will either not trust me now or they will fight me for my planets. Speaking of which because everyone thinks I am so strong for some reason the most hurtful thing is my Diplo. I cannot make good pacts, treaties, or Naps due to the fact everyone could want to team up on me or my alliance from every direction to see to it that I lose.

You did not hack but this is a one ally game so giving your race to one ally is no big deal. Showing it to everyone is like giving everyone a Universe Hack so they can see things they should not be able to see thus taking out some of the fairness, challenge, and fun out of the game.

I see more planets scouted in the south east I didn't have scouted at all, I see their Habs, I see Valkillers HW which is his one world wonder with the same hab as you. So he must have maybe 5k resources. It is the same hab as yours. He will now come for your planets that I took, I know he will. Ill be r
