Circuit plans are a useful source for people and places. They include people who were local preachers and itinerant ministers, and sometimes stewards. Women were sometimes indicated by initials only.
Plans provide evidence for when a chapel (or preaching place) in a particular place was in existence. They have also been used to explore working class history, and the social life of communities. See: William Leary, Methodist Preaching Plans: a guide to their usefulness to the historian (1977). Chapels are organised in circuits, and a plan covers a whole circuit. The name of the circuit was often the largest nearby town.

Thursday, Aug 15 2013
Today's headlines include reports about a range of health law implementation issues as well as whether the battle over the overhaul is worth a government shutdown.
Kaiser Health News: Talking Scales And Telemedicine: ACO Tools To Keep Patients Out Of The Hospital
MPR News' Elizabeth Stawicki, working in partnership with Kaiser Health News and NPR, reports: "When Bill Hill prepares to weigh himself each morning, a mechanical voice speaks to him from a small box on his nightstand that is connected to the scale on the floor. … For Hill, who was diagnosed with heart failure more than seven years ago, the morning weigh-in has become as routine as putting on his shoes. Like countless other patients nationwide, he's becoming more involved in his healthcare. That's a major goal of the federal health care overhaul. Essentia Health has been taking care of patients like Hill with telehealth tools like the special scale since 1998. And now it is an Accountable Care Organization, or ACO. That means it takes responsibility for the health of a population of Medicare beneficiaries and can share any savings created by keeping people like Hill out of the hospital" (Stawicki, 8/15). Read the story.
Kaiser Health News: Capsules: Report: Mass. Residents Paying More, Getting Less From Health Insurance
Now on Kaiser Health News' blog, WBUR's Martha Bebinger, working in partnership with KHN and NPR, reports on a new study regarding Massachusetts insurance cost and coverage: "If Massachusetts residents have the feeling they're getting less coverage from their health insurance even though it's costing more, there's now evidence that they're right. A state report says Bay State premiums rose 9.7 percent between 2009 and 2011, while the value of that coverage shrank 5.1 percent" (Bebinger, 8/14). Check out what else is on the blog.
The Wall Street Journal: Many Health Insurers To Limit Choices Of Doctors, Hospitals
Many of the plans will include relatively few choices of doctors and hospitals. In some cases, plans will layer on other limits, such as requirements that patients get referrals to see specialists, or obtain insurer authorization before pricey procedures. A McKinsey & Co. analysis of 955 consumer exchange-plan filings, from 13 states that were among the earliest to make them public, found that 47% were health-maintenance organizations or similarly designed plans. Such plans generally don't pay for care provided outside their networks. A number of other plans, though classed as preferred-provider organizations, or PPOs, will also have limited choices of doctors and hospitals in their networks (Matthews, 8/14).
The New York Times: The Challenge of Helping the Uninsured Find Coverage
Like many organizations across the country, Ms. Daily's agency, Northern Virginia Family Service, is hoping to win a federal grant to help uninsured people in the state sign up for coverage under President Obama's health care law. With the money, she hopes to hire at least a handful of "navigators" — a new category of worker created under the law to educate consumers about new health insurance options and, starting in October, to walk them through the enrollment process (Goodnough, 8/14).
NPR: GOP Debate: Is Obamacare Fight Worth A Government Shutdown?
Congressional Republicans agree that the new federal health care program should be ended. But they are finding themselves bitterly divided over how. They have tried dozens of times to repeal it. Now, some GOP lawmakers want to block all money for Obamacare in a stopgap spending bill that must be approved next month to prevent the government from shutting down on Oct. 1. But other Republicans say that won't work and may well backfire (Welna, 8/14).
Politico: Poll: Shutdown Blame Would Be Split
House members shouldn't worry about losing their seats if they oppose spending bills that contain Obamacare funding, conservatives said Wednesday. The blame for a potential government shutdown when the current spending bill expires Sept. 30 over the issue of stripping out funding for the Affordable Care Act would be spread among congressional Republicans, Democrats and President Barack Obama, according to a poll by GOP-leaning Basswood Research commissioned by Heritage Action for America (Everett, 8/14).
The Associated Press/Washington Post: Republican Officials Push Rising Stars Amid Calls For Solutions On Major Issues
While there is little sign of GOP unity on solutions for immigration, health care or a looming budget standoff, RNC officials are launching a program to highlight a new generation of Republican leaders — largely younger and more ethnically diverse — to help broaden the party's appeal among women and minorities, groups that overwhelmingly supported President Barack Obama in the last election. The program supplements an ongoing effort to expand Republican outreach among minority communities across the country (8/15).
Politico: Newt Gingrich: No GOP Health Care Plan
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Wednesday told party chairs and operatives at the Republican National Committee summer meeting that the GOP has "zero" ideas for replacing Obamacare, according to a report. … Gingrich said the party has a "very deep problem" with a culture that promotes negativity (Kopan, 8/14).
The Wall Street Journal: An Ohio Prescription For GOP: Lower Taxes, More Aid For Poor
On the one hand, he tamed a deficit by slashing funding to local governments and overhauling the state's Medicaid rules, among things. He has eliminated the state's estate tax and wants to phase out all state income taxes, a step aimed at stimulating growth. A budget he signed in June included a range of new abortion restrictions that drew sharp criticism from Democrats. At the same time, Mr. Kasich has stirred strong opposition from tea-party leaders—and won surprised approval from liberals—by pushing to expand Medicaid coverage to nearly 300,000 additional Ohioans, adopting a provision of the Obama health-care overhaul that he has taken to defending with an openly religious fervor (King, 8/14).
The Wall Street Journal: Health Ads Stream In
The television industry is anticipating an advertising bonanza related to the rollout of the federal health overhaul, with as much as $1 billion expected to be spent on ads by insurers alone, according to TV executives and a broadcasters' trade group (Sharma, 8/14).
Politico: OFA Releases New Obamacare Ad
A new ad promoting Obamacare was released Thursday, promoting insurance rebates families receive under the new health care law, according to reports. The ad by Organizing for Action will run on national cable channels, specifically Bravo and Lifetime, and is the third spot in support of the health care law running this summer, an OFA official told CNN (Gold, 8/15).
The Washington Post: Medicare Changes, Not FDA Warning, Seem To Have Curtailed Use Of Dialysis Drugs, Study Finds
In March 2007, the Food and Drug Administration issued a stern "black box" warning regarding the anemia drugs commonly prescribed to dialysis patients: The popular drugs, known as ESAs, could increase the risk of heart attacks, stroke, blood clots and death. But according to a new paper by researchers who studied the use of the drugs for months before and after the warning, the FDA's black box "did not appear to influence ESA prescribing among the overall dialysis population." Instead, the use of the drugs continued a slow, steady decline rather than taking a sharp drop, according to the paper (Whoriskey, 8/14).
The Associated Press/Washington Post: Small Businesses Consider Limiting Growth, Cutting Services To Cure Health Care Cost Surge
A year ago, Teresa Hartnett was on the verge of expanding her small business. The company had hit $1 million in sales, and requests from clients were flowing in. She planned to transition from nearly 30 freelancers to a full-time staff of 60 by 2014. Then the reality of the Affordable Health Care Act hit. Hartnett realized she might not be able to afford to carry out her plan. … The expected surge in health insurance costs under the ACA has many small business owners changing the way they operate. For many like Hartnett, hiring and expanding is going on the back burner. Others expect to cut back on some of the services their companies provide, raise prices or cut employees' hours and bonuses (8/14).
The New York Times: Gay Spouses Of Members Of Military Get Benefits
Under the plan, spousal and family benefits — including health care coverage, housing allowances and survivor benefits — will be available to all legally married military spouses. The same-sex spouses of service members and civilian Defense Department employees can claim the entitlements retroactively, starting with the date of the decision (Huetteman, 8/14).
Politico: DOD: Benefits For Same-Sex Couples Available By Sept. 3
Enrollments in DoD's health care coverage, as well as requests for housing benefits or separation allowances, are retroactive to the Supreme Court's June ruling that struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the announcement said. "For those members married after June 26, 2013, entitlements begin at the date of marriage" (Ewing, 8/14).
The Wall Street Journal: Nurse Practitioners Seek Right To Treat Patients On Their Own
Nurse practitioners in five states are fighting for the right to treat patients without oversight from doctors, as they can in many parts of the country. The battle is particularly pitched in California, where a bill that would let some nurse practitioners do their work independently passed a key legislative committee this week. California doctors strenuously oppose the idea, arguing that it could jeopardize patient safety (Beck, 8/14).
The Associated Press/Washington Post: 2 Southwest Va. Prosecutor Offices Receive $1.3M From National Medicaid Fraud Settlement
The money comes from the $1.5 billion Abbott Laboratories agreed to pay to settle allegations that it promoted the drug Depakote for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The federal, state and local law enforcement agencies that participated in the investigation shared $200 million in forfeited funds (8/14).


Welcome to The Broad Place Short Course in Zen. As a student of all ancient knowledge, my speciality is fusing this with modern living. At The Broad Place we take philosophy and make it practical.
My constant questioning and personal practice is to gain deeper knowledge of these questions. Can we, with grace, bring together that which is tried and tested over millennia, and refine into our over exposed highly engaged modern lives? Can we find grounding, expansion and clarity in knowledge that is thousands of years old, even whilst tethered to technology and information overload. My experience is yes we absolutely can.
I wrote this course as an introduction to a profound body of knowledge and practice that I respect and adore; Zen. As with all education, nothing beats in person training with an experienced teacher. However beginnings usually start with baby steps. This course I hope will ignite a fire in you for Zen.
I have began with some practical history, and then moved into philosophy and then practices with the hope that you can begin to introduce Zen into your daily life. As my teacher Susan Murphy says, ' The Zen way is not about growing in bliss but establishing freedom in every mood, condition, emotion and belief'.
I trust you will enjoy this thoughtful program.


All too often, there are foods that folks enjoy but are unable to eat because of dietary restrictions or health problems. Brazilian cheese bread or Pao de Queijo helps those who might not otherwise be able to enjoy bread eat it and not feel unwell afterwards because of their food choices. This is because this delightful bread treat is wheat and gluten free as well as being low in carbohydrates and sugar free.


Made to order in 3-4 weeks. A stunningly simple yet substantial hammered sterling silver circle necklace, hand forged in the heart of the Spiral River, from 5mm diameter solid sterling silver. The sterling silver circle is about 1 1/8th" in diameter and hangs from your choice of a 18" sterling silver snake chain, a 16" sterling silver figaro chain, 2mm diameter adjustable leather cord or 36" heavy sterling cable chain (first photo).


The last thing you want to do is irk the people who could potentially impact your career.
You spend about a third of your life at work. Yep, take that in for a second. When you combine different personalities with the daily pressures of tight deadlines, big projects and competition for promotions, you're bound to run into a conflict or two (or seven!). No one wants to put up with an Andy from The Office, right?
That's why it's important to be aware of your less-than-perfect habits that some may find annoying or distracting. Are you constantly showing up late to meetings? Do people have to tell you to quiet down? Have you ever microwaved fish in the kitchen or eaten a tuna sandwich in the lunchroom? These are no-brainers that rank highly on the no-no meter, but there are also plenty of not-so-obvious pet peeves to keep an eye out for.
To help you stay on your co-workers' good side, Monster spoke with career experts to determine the top workplace habits you should avoid.
You might think you're being inspiring or speaking like a leader, but an international study from Britain's Institute of Leadership and Management found that 64% of respondents are annoyed by "management speak" in the workplace. That means you should nix jargon phrases like "think outside the box" or "we need all hands on deck" from your vocabulary. Pay attention to how you speak, gauge the reactions you're getting and use simple language.
It's always good to speak up, but in the workplace—especially in an open office—it's just as important to speak respectfully. That means not only your word choice but also your volume level. You might not realize you're speaking too loudly, but if someone reaches a breaking point and tells you to quiet down, don't push back, just pipe down.
This is no LOL-ing matter. It's annoying and even disrespectful to take your phone out and fire off text after text during meetings or conversations.
What happens at home, stays at home, especially negative stuff, like the latest fight you had with your significant other or that you had to ground your rebellious teenager.
"Dragging your personal life into work is a bad habit," says Susan Heathfield, management consultant and writer of the human resources site for About.com. "It brings down your co-workers." Instead, keep it positive. Sharing news about your kid getting into college is OK, but leave the bigger issues at home.
Constantly showing up late to work or meetings says to your co-workers that you don't value their time.
Having a messy desk or leaving communal spaces dirty and disorganized is a quick way to irk not only your co-workers but your boss too. If you can't keep your desk space tidy, it sends the message that you're disorganized and perhaps even a little irresponsible.
As Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, an etiquette and civility expert and the author of Don't Burp in the Boardroom, told Business Insider, leaving a mess behind shows a lack of responsibility or consideration, arrogance and immaturity.
Even if you aren't generating the gossip, when you participate or stop your day to get involved in it, your credibility starts to wither. Even worse: Your colleagues will stop trusting you.
Remember: How you present yourself at work—everything from how you handle stress or criticism to the jokes you tell your closest friends—will impact how your co-workers view you. If you want respect, you have to earn it.

OxyContin Maker Purdue Pharma Facing Bankruptcy? Drug Manufacturer Faces Roughly 2,000 Lawsuits
By Dawn Geske
03/04/19 AT 5:39 PM
With roughly 2,000 lawsuits pending, OxyContin manufacturer Purdue Pharma is considering filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Reuters reported. The drug maker has come under fire for allegedly fueling the opioid crisis in the U.S. and may be looking to address the liabilities it is facing.
The growing litigation against Purdue Pharma has accused the company of misleading doctors as well as patients about the risk of long-term use of prescription opioids and their fatality through overdose, Reuters reported.
The company denies the accusations against it, arguing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its opioid labeling, which carries a warning about abuse and misuse of the drugs, according to the news outlet.
Filing Chapter 11 could put an end to the lawsuits against Purdue Pharma as it could use a bankruptcy judge to negotiate any potential settlements for the claims against it, NBC News reported.
"As a privately-held company, it has been Purdue Pharma's longstanding policy not to comment on our financial or legal strategy," Purdue said in a statement. "We are, however, committed to ensuring that our business remains strong and sustainable. We have ample liquidity and remain committed to meeting our obligations to the patients who benefit from our medicines, our suppliers and other business partners."
Purdue Pharma is just one of several opioid producers that are being sued for deceptive practices related to drug addiction. The lawsuits have been compiled into one federal case, and are being compared to tobacco litigation that turned a $246 billion settlement, Reuters reported.
Purdue Pharma, along with other drug companies, will stand trial in a televised suit in May that was filed by Mike Hunter, the attorney general in Oklahoma. In the case, Purdue is accused of playing up the benefits of opioids without stating the risks that patients could face through addiction. The pharmaceutical companies are also accused of telling doctors to prescribe higher dosages of the painkillers for a bigger profit, CNBC reported.

Following 2016's Uncommon Knowledge and 2017's Abstractions, K.A.A.N. strikes again with his third release on vinyl. Entitled Subtle Meditation, this marks collaboration number three and counting for label partners Redefinition Records, but project number 20 something in K.A.A.N.'s overall catalog. The full length boasts 13 thought provoking tracks. The seasoned rapper explores subjects far and wide, including America's social climate, striving for success, colonialism, dealing with failure, depression, anxiety, creative passion and self destruction to name a few. Topics so relevant are guaranteed that in any moment or place in the world, people in bars, cafes, dinner tables and social media feeds are engaging in identical discussions. No matter what side of the spectrum you fall on, starting dialogue is most important when looking for solutions.
K.A.A.N. presents questions and offers a few jewels of advice throughout the album's 41 minutes, but leaves enough room for listeners to discover their own opinions. To date, the MC has been acclaimed for his once in a lifetime talent and his artistic bravery in creating an extremely diverse catalog. However, Subtle Meditation is K.A.A.N.'s comfort zone. Everything from the lyrical concepts, to song structure and the style of production were very therapeutic in helping him access his personal favorite sensibilities. He wasn't concerned with writing the next top 10 hit or meeting commercial guidelines, but preferably tapped into what moves him most as an artist. Born in the 90's and being a fan of the decade's artists, he went directly to the source. The album art was designed by visual artist Joe Buck who rose to prominence as De La Soul's in house artist and went to design for Nike, Jeff Staple and Lil' Wayne.
Production is handled by the likes of The 45 King who was behind Queen Latifah's beginnings and producer of Jay-Z's anthem Hard Knock Life and Eminem's classic Stan. Also in the mix is K-Def who produced Chief Rocka for the Lords of the Underground and worked with Marley Marl, Diddy, UGK and Ghostface. Don't get it wrong, this is not a "90's revivalist attempt". K.A.A.N employed the fresh talents of up and coming, uncharted Ukrainian producer Smuff tha Quiz who laid 70% of the album's beats. Results of this teamwork provide a very strong listening experience from start to finish.
One, could attribute the album's strength to executive producer, Damu the Fudgemunk. Known as an artist in his own right, Damu co-produced, mixed and mastered the whole album in addition to laying an array of top notch scratching on every track. Channeling old to new and popular to obscure sources, his input enhanced the storytelling element from song to song. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to K.A.A.N.'s music, this project will capture your attention and standout for years to come. The artist confessed that Subtle Meditation is one of his favorite releases ever.
To celebrate such an accomplishment it is being released on limited neon vinyl with full color florescent jackets and few surprises in the rollout. In an age of short attention spans and where disposable music is the norm, K.A.A.N.'s latest challenges those standards. With an album titled Subtle Meditation, the vocalist may be downplaying his process, but nothing short of higher level thinking went into making this 2018 masterpiece.

The club was founded in 1933 as a successor to a club called Boston Town and were members of the Football League from 2002 until 2007.
The club is known as 'the Pilgrims' in reference to the Pilgrim Fathers, who left England and sailed to North America and founded Boston, Massachusetts. The club's crest, the pilgrim fathers' ship 'The Mayflower', is also a reference to them.
The club's traditional colours are amber and black.

Boston, Dock
Boston Dock was built south of the town centre by Boston Coroporation as the Harbour Trust.
The first vessel entered the Dock on 15 December 1884 and ended a thirty-year period of economic stagnation for the port.
Boston, dock,
Boston Dock has a seven-acre basin and was built in fields to the south of the town centre.
Its traffic included the import of Baltic timber and export of coal from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
A coal hoist can be seen to the right in this picture.
Boston Dock had railway sidings and two large granaries to hold grain for export.
One of the granaries is to the left in this picture but both were demolished in the second half of the twentieth century.
Boston, dock, granaries, sidings,
For a number of years Lincolnshire potatoes (in 56lb bags) were exported through Boston.
Today the fishing fleet moors below the railway bridge.
Trading vessels lie either in tidal berths beside the dock where there are facilities for handling scrap steel or in the dock itself where there are facilities for handling paper, steel coil and grain as well as timber and general cargo, including containers.

Boston, Fydell House
Fydell House was bought by Richard Fydell in 1733, and was owned by members of the family in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Seen here is a rear view across the formal gardens. The armillary sphere in the foreground is part of a tribute to Joseph Banks – a frequent visitor to the house.
Frank Robinson, September 2014
Boston, Fydell House, Joseph Banks, Robert Fydell
Fydell House is thought to have been built in 1702-03 to a design by architect William Sands, who was responsible for the garden of Ayscoughfee Hall in Spalding.
The Jackson family were the original owners of the house and it was probably built for Mrs Lennox Jackson, who was then an elderly widow living with her family.
In 1733, Richard Fydell (1710-80), a worker in the wine trade, bought the house from Richard Browne. Richard went on to build a very successful business, which his son Thomas (1740-1812) continued.
Richard and Thomas between them were mayors of Boston six times. They also represented Boston in five parliaments. Thomas's own son, Thomas Junior (1773 – 1814) also represented Boston at parliament.

The Witham Navigation was created in the 1760s and ended at the Grand Sluice, with the tidal haven beyond the sluice.
The Great Northern Railway crossed the river at this point and by the date of this picture the river was used for recreation rather than commerce, as these rowing boats show.
Boston, sluice, navigation, witham,
Boston Grand Sluice was built in 1764-66 and enlarged in 1881. The railway bridge seen here was built be the GNR in 1885 and now carries the line to Skegness (former East Lincolnshire Line).

Boston, High Street, No.116
This 5-bay late Georgian house was built for William Garfit (1700-81), founder of Lincolnshire's first private bank – in this house – in 1754.
It remained in use as Garfit's Bank until 1890 when the business moved to the Market Place.
The house passed through several owners in the 20th century but was derelict from the mid-1980s.

When the Maud Foster Drain was widened by John Rennie in 1811 three matching cast-iron footbridges were cast at Butterley (Derbyshire) and erected in Boston.
They are thought to have been designed either by Rennie himself or William Jessop, another eminent drainage engineer.
The Hospital Bridge shown here, close to the Maud Foster windmill, is one of the two bridges that remain (the other is at Cowbridge).

Boston, Hussey Tower
The Hussey Tower, close to the centre of Boston (TF 331436), is one of the earliest brick buildings in Lincolnshire (c1460).
It was built by Richard Benyngton JP as part of a larger domestic complex.
Among the surviving architectural features of interest are a brick vaulted ceiling and an octagonal stair turret.
It is in the care of the Heritage Trust for Lincolnshire on behalf of the owners, Boston Borough Council.
Boston, tower, benyngton,
"The ruined Hussey Tower is all that remains of a medieval brick fortified house, built in 1450, and occupied by John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford until he was executed in the wake of the Lincolnshire Rising"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_Lincolnshire
"The house is believed to have been built in the mid- to late 15th century for Richard Bennington; `Richard Benyngton Toure' being mentioned in a rental of 1489.
The tower, a Listed Building Grade II, was later owned by Lord Hussey, and following his death, in 1537, the estate was granted to the Corporation of Boston.
A gatehouse was demolished in 1565, and repairs were made to the remainder of the buildings, which were then rented by Joseph Whiting.
In the early 18th century further buildings were dismantled including the domestic range adjoining the tower, and in 1728 the lead and timber were removed from the tower"

Boston, St Botolph, Chapel Of Unknown Dedication, John Cotton
Picture displayed in the chapel of unknown dedication - the chapel was restored in 1857 in memory of John Cotton a former vicar.
"John Cotton (4 December 1585 – 23 December 1652) was a clergyman in England and the American colonies and was considered the preeminent minister and theologian of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
He studied for five years at Trinity College, Cambridge, and another nine at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
He had already built a reputation as a scholar and outstanding preacher when he accepted the position of minister in 1612 at St. Botolph's Church, Boston in Lincolnshire.
As a Puritan, he wanted to do away with the ceremony and vestments associated with the established Church of England and to preach in a simpler manner.
He felt that the English church needed significant reforms, but he was adamant about not separating from it; his preference was to change it from within.
Many ministers were removed from their pulpits in England for their Puritan practices, but Cotton thrived at St. Botolph's for nearly 20 years because of supportive aldermen and lenient bishops, as well as his conciliatory and gentle demeanor.
By 1632, however, the church authorities had greatly increased pressure on non-conforming clergy, and Cotton was forced into hiding.
The following year, he and his wife boarded a ship for New England"

The hotel's website has an interesting history :-
"The earliest record of an inn here is of The Unicorn, which thrived in the late 1700s at a time of huge economic boom for the sea-port town.
A subsequent remodelling of the town centre, including the construction of a replacement bridge over the River Witham, prompted the rebuilding of The Unicorn and its renaming as The White Hart in 1804"

This thread is ONLY for Clanwars rule violation reporting.
Clan violation: battle rigging, clan action to gain unfair advantage on CW global map/in battles, clan chip spamming(mass bidding without participation in battles).
Unsportsmanlike conduct in CW battle: playing with food, self-kill or other action considered inappropriate in a fair competition.
Other actions which may affect the fairness of Clanwars results.
Other actions which not directly related with Clanwars.
Please make sure to provide complete information so that the reported case can be thoroughly investigated.
Formally request replay of battle.
There are so many questions about their shots and skills that are so ridiculous. Their modes are clearly illegal. As users who have played countless battles, they are definitely using illegal mode. Not only this battle, but always when you meet them. There are a lot of things that we do not feel in battle with other talented clans, and we despise users who break and play rules. Please read the replay, asking you to make a direct gaming decision and never ask any unscrupulous users to use this mode again.
Our BRRR clan will always respond to replay submissions.
This is not the place to report illegal mods, talk to Mobius through the KR CoAF in discord or send a ticket to support.
Are map exploits (boosting spots) considered, especially if the other team deliberately uses boosting spots that are available only to their side of the spawns? It technically gives them an unfair advantage and should be considered inappropriate in a fair competition.
If you feel that a whole team getting wrecked from a tank up somewhere impossible to reach is not right in a "fair" competition, do let me know and I got some replays to submit.
There is nothing written in the Rules stating that "Boosting" in not allowed.
Ravvi is on a Rampage!!!
...other action considered inappropriate in a fair competition.
I suspected that they were short of members and logged those accounts to avoid taking technical defeat.
There's no hard evidence of violation in this case.
Will let Mobius know about this case.
The player fell off, not suicide, or at least not a direct action.
From the replay can see the player tried to back up but fell off.
Ok cool, so the CW people don't investigate the use of prohibited mods. How are support going with that?
Just a reminder that this thread is for CW violation reporting.
If you wish to question Mobius further, drop him a forum PM, or make a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum pls.
Edited by neokai, 08 December 2017 - 04:15 PM.
This is totally a alt/sub clan being played by other people or another clan. These accounts are being piloted for the sole reason or taking fame away from other clans.
Clearly everyone's alt or extra account put into this clan. Would like this be investigated and IP checked who is chipping which will lead back to original clan.
Edited by Hilly, 11 December 2017 - 08:40 AM.
Can't hardly say it's a violation, it's not a shared account and caused no damage to your battle result.
No further action will be taken in this case.
LEON is clean, checked IP without any issue, and most accounts are quite active within past 28 days.
Heard that they were struggling to build a regular roster for CW, but have been working their way up and prepare for CW in Stronghold for a while.
Mobius. A question. I have noticed that some clans Fame balances drop massively around the time they are applying for landings. Any idea what is going on there? Are the Fame bids for landings that massive these days or is there something dodgy going on?
Doesn't the Fame balance impact the rewards for attacking clans?
I know it's a little borderline to put here but I didn't think it would get attention buried in the other threads.
Edited by Profanisaurus, 18 December 2017 - 04:14 PM.
So shouldn't anything that can be manipulated in such a fashion be outlawed or is it just a case of exploitation of a loop-hole in the rules? Seems dodgy anyway.
