Dont think anybody honestly on this site would disagree with this, if so i would like to see the reason.
I definately disagree with this.
Don't make "everyone thinks this" claims, because probably, some, if not most of the people will disagree.
I would HATE getting games paused just to check for multis.
Yes, i have around 30 active games going right now, and i see that you do also, but i still wouldnt like to be slowed down by a multi "investigation".
Multi investigations take days, if not a week or more, sometimes, on the more difficult cases.
how about an example:
ill tell a short story explaining my point:
----------------------------------------------------------
lets say that a user named BigBadBob (i just made that name up, no offense to anyone that actually uses that name). BigBadBob is just a normal member of ConquerClub. He doesn't have a membership, so he is limited to only 4 games at a time. Now, BigBadBob doesnt know it, but a recent member that has made 8 multis has joined some of those multis in 3 of BigBadBob's games. Games being "paused" due to multi investigations would cripple BigBadBob, because those 3 games that the multis were in would get "paused" and would only leave him with one active game that is not paused. BigBadBob is angry, because the multis are messing up his games even though he had nothing to do with it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
would it really be fair to pause the games, keeping innocent members from playing?
how about a bit of math, if you are into that kind of thing.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lets say another user named JohnDoe made 8 multis. lets assume that he made these to be able to play more than the minimum 4 games, and not for points.
JohnDoe+8 others = 9 members
lets assume also that, since he is in it for games, not more points, none of his people are in the same games.
9 members x 4 games each = 36 games
now, he likes games with a lot of people, so only joins 6 player games
36 games x 6 players = 216 players affected.
----------------------------------------------------------
So you are saying, just to keep multis from playing, to just pause those 36 games until the multis are busted (which, as i said before, can take days to bust)? Pausing those 36 games would effect 216 people's games, and would seriously affect many of the players in there that arent premium.
You asked for a reason, and ^that^ is it.
Pausing the games is the worst idea that I have ever heard.
