I fully accept the ruling of the mod that there was no Multi or Secret Diplomacy and I am glad this is the finding.
While Farming like this is apparantly considered within the scope of rules, and this is certainly up to the site, there could be many things done to the site to help new folks from getting trapped. For example, on the Find a game view, there could be a max rank field so new folk could find other new folks, those of lower rank to play. I will certainly be posting my suggestion on the appropriate forum.

I hardly think someone who has played 64 games with ljex including OASIS <where you dont really play> is at best a conflict of interest. Try playing a game where you have an opinion, your own strategy and some smidgen of courage to play quality players who give you a challenge...sheesh!

However, as we all play together regularly, we went away and played the map several times, then came up with a strategy to defeat Ijex...and we did win..... The result however, is that all the team members that were in the matches, that beat Ijex have now been foed by him... That sort of player is simply not worth bothering about, and fortunately are in the minority on this site.
If you want to enjoy your games just let me know and I'll invite you to some team games...Stalingrad Map is awesome
Somehow I am not surprised and this only confirms my asertion that this type of Farming is targeted toward unsuspecting and new folks which in the end cannot be good for the site...regardless...I will be happy to play with or against you for some good fun! I am in the Stalingrad game with CoF now.

For the benefit of MrPipes
There will be a game tonight on Stalingrad
The TOFU boys will all be there
Come along see how we fare, not so bad
Over men and rivers, tanks and mortars
Lastly through a bridgehead under fire.
On this night MrPipes will challenge the world!
