Rules and gameplay (Pagina 1 van 2)

This game has turned into a ban players game instead of an attack eachother game, some mods and devs know what I am talking about.
You might be courteous, have sportmanship, and aren't sketchy, others aren't or haven't.

Ok let me explane this more.
There are rumours someone got banned on stable because he let someone else log into his account. As I understand it, this is not a multiaccount. A multiaccount is 1 player having 2 accounts. This is 2 players letting each other use (or log in) each others accounts. This is not in the rules, yet the are reset.
I've been told these players talked to daed about this before the got reset.
There are other players who told me the asked Daed if they can do some things, Daed said yes, other players see it as cheating. The way he moderatorteam works now, that player who asked Daed and Daed said yes can be banned or reset no questions asked.
I have been told players got reset for attacking the same village within 24 hours on the same IP. This is not in the rules. If it is true, it shouldn't have happend or happen again since it is not in the rules, if it's not true, it is what players tell each other, it is a disadvantage for players who play on the same IP.
As the rules are now players can tell each other anything and take advantages off it. (isn't that what a bug is?)
In my case, when you are labbled cheater (whether it is true or not) some mods will ban or reset me, no questions asked, when a first problem comes up.
Speed is full of bugs and problems, they will come up.
When there is a bug like supporttroops are not eating, I have to ask if I can support, since Demonic proves you can abuse it (and he can 2 mods said yes) because if I don't the mods can reset/ban me. Not just me, but all players, since it is a bug, and players are not allowed to use them.

This proves to me you don't know what you are talking about, these things have happen, are happening and still when I'm not playing are happening to me. Is it realy how you want this game to be? Not only are players using everything they can to reset others, mods can do to. Mods are still playing and I am not saying they shouldn't. Mods can use personal feelings wheter intended or without them realizing it. Players are being called cheaters, whether they are or not and if they don't get reset or banned they get attacked for it, again whether the are or not. When a player joins a clan I can tell them all sorts of things about that clan untill he/she leaves that clan and helps me attack that clan, whether it is true or not.
Again these things have happend and will happen again.
All I ask is some clear rules.

edit: you say players are not getting banned or reset every day or week, Whamra has said they can get up to 30 or so every day.

Then people should stop trying to reset others...

Can players log into other account?
Can players who play on the same IP not attack the same villages in 24 hours?
Is rune banking allowed?
Can you update the TOS when something new comes up that will get someone banned/reset?

Alot of players don't/ can't think this way, they quit. The ones left can, you are one off those.
Try thinking about the rest.

Ok, good line.
Don't try to get people reset.
Love it.

Now lets go back to this:

Actually, we are in the middle of a massive re-write of the TOS.  Suggestions from the player-base are very much appreciated

and clear out what are bugs and what aren't, which ones can we keep using and which are bugabuse.

Once again, you have let this happen (blaming the head mod), instead of doing something when it went wrong you just keept being a jerk. Some rules (not loopholes) aren't anywhere to be found. You have way to much power, which leads to mistakes.
Every game has cheaters, no rules means you attrack cheaters.
But, I'm happy you finaly see it is wrong and will do something about this.

You and gero started moderating speed. Gero left. It went verry wrong on dutch speed chat. We begged for new mods a long time, had to wait a long time. It went out of control. Two off the biggest reason off this were players who are/were mods on stable. One (who is/was mod on stable) spending hours explaning to at least 3 children (aged 14) how he cheats on other games.
Once again, the players begged for mods. In the meanwhile players on the english speed chat were almost free to do as the please. You were the only on moderating this. And except for a few exceptions, you not only let them but also made it worse with things like the hitler thing, saying I hate you to players, lauching at players and even now after all this mess calling players a runebank.
Now you complain about cheater, loopholeabusers and bugabusers, when you were the one letting it get out of control and even helping in letting it get out of control.
You moderate with saying one thing is ok, when in another you don't see the problem. You moderate with two sizes and weights. If you would be clear, fair and set a good example we wouldn't need rules.
Players are being called liar by a mod from your clan, because he doesn't understand the game. (once again verry good excample from a mod).
Players are being called liars when the awnser a question from a mod by a mod.
their minds are set. And even when you get them to admit the did, they and you find some excuse and don't even bother to apologize.
If you could do some fair and square moderating and set a good example, yes you are right we don't need this rules.
Players are crying out for awnser, you ignore them, yet you ban/reset them when they don't understand the rules.
You have your own ideas about bugs and abuse, yet a dev tells me the other way, thats why we need the devs to tell us what is a bug or not and what we can still use or not, so you can't ban/reset players because the rules aren't clear and you can do pretty much whatever you want.

Perhaps the developers should show a little interest and play the game themselves.
To me it seems they lost interest in some game wich was premature released trying to find dumbasses who would spend money on anything.

if all this nagging coming because of a playing mod, what do you think will happen with a playing developer?
ironically, 2 games belonging to Travian Games GmbH, i have noticed so far, the moderators, administrators, and forum admins are allowed to play, on same server, they even have the right to choose when and how to activate specific game features like the releasing of special units into gameplay or end-game mode...
