I am sorry in advance if thats not the right place for this topic but couldn't find a better one.
Zeus of Olympia in uk2 was banned today because of a PM to a rival player. At the begining we thought it was because he said "gays" instead of "guys" (he is not an English speaker). After that though MH told him that the punishment will be 33% pop reduction and the reason was not the gay thing but something else.
In the days before this message we catapulted some of the leadership in a rival alliance and the alliance pretty much fell apart afterwards. So he made them an offer in his PM (not posting it because its super large) where he basically told them that he would allow them to join us and play with us but they will have to abandon few of their croppers that we need and settle elsewhere. In exchange he offered them a big res push to get their new settlements up and runing. This I've done and seen being done a million times in the bigger servers - relocating players and giving them a res push as a bargaining chip.
Now MH explained that the guy is being punished because he offered to buy their villages. But there is no rule that forbids you to make in game trades as long as you are not offering/asking for money in return. Every other bargain using the feature in the game - resources, diplomatic relations, invitations to join a team, troops and such are part of the game and NOT forbbiden by any rule travian have.
So hence the question: Can anybody explain to me why does MH wants to do a 33% pop reduction to Zeus for it?
