If life's standing still and your soul's confused

Just curious if anyone wants to take over a spartan faction in a PBEM. Spartans are in 2nd place and it's turn 2127.

I'm kindof sleepy right now, and I've got things I need to do tomorrow. I'll fill you in later so you can get a running start. Anyway one of the players is away on vacation for another 4-5 days.

In case of the latter, this really sucks.  If it was somewhat later in the game, I guess it wouldn't make that much of a difference, but in the first few turns getting some energy credits, some better pod popping results etc can make a huge difference. And the Angels probably already got the best starting position (two CPs on a river I assume), so this would make things really unfair for the three other teams.
A restart would suck too. It would again waste lots of time, and personally I'm pretty happy with the pod popping results (the monoliths) we got until now. I would hate to lose those.
Anyway, if Enigma_Nova cheated in this ACDG3, I guess some ways to correct things without a restart could be:
quote:
Reloading to get mindworms, |
The Angels have to get rid of the credits E_N accumulated that way, eg by paying too much for a hurry order.
quote:
Reloading to get pod pops, |
That's IMO the most damaging one for game balance and unfortunately also the most difficult one to correct, as it's hard to decide what's a "normal" pod pop result Imagine what one could do with some 75 credits or alien artifact pods this early in the game... I guess a solution would be that the Angels have to get rid of part of the things E_N got from the pods, or that the three other factions would be allowed to also pop, while using reloads, a certain number of unity pods equal to the number E_N already popped, to get whatever pod result they want. I'd hate a solution like this though. 
quote:
Reloading to remove fungus bounce (high probability, there's a small chance he didn't), |
Solution: The units that did this would have to skip two turns.
quote:
Reloading to decrease unit damage in battles, |
Again skip a # of turns to simulate the time they would normally spend repairing the extra damage.
quote:
Rover Chassis from Probe retro-engineering, |
Simply not use rovers I guess. 
quote:
Former reactivation after getting repeatively told it was illegal |
Do the Angels already have formers?  Or did E_N not do this yet in the ACDG3?
Anyway, I guess a solution like this would really suck for all the other fair-playing Angels. For them I assume a restart would be best. If that happens, how about that the other factions have to reload until they get the same pod popping results as in the current game?

If he's been cheating in the DG, yes. If not, no. If suspected, but not strongly enough to warrent complete expulsion, I will ask that he not play the turn, so as to limit anything he could do, while we decide if cheating in other PBEMs is enough reason to kick him out of all.

I'd rather you didn't. When we've finished investigating his turns, we'll post about it, but until then, I'd like nobody to jump to conclusions.

No Drogue, Honghu and I are pretty sure that was a real mistake non-related to Enigma.
