I am more than 8 years member of Airlinesim community. Since than I learned a lot from it and was growing both in Airlinesim and carrier in expanding real-world charter airline into TOP 5 biggest world leisure carriers. Personally I always believed that airlinesim is different environment, where users are friendly and organisation itself is different from same type - online games (Airwaysim, Airline-Empire and etc.).
Last year somehow I faced cheating, corruption, valuation of the Terms and Conditions part 5.II and most important, even blackmail from user. Of course you might ask why I am writing this here instead of reporting to the support? :ph34r: :ph34r: Haha..!
nice try, but what if you are reporting the one who has connections and your support tickets are simply deleted away? :blink: yeah, I've reported personal harassment, blackmail, person using two users to help one to another, ticket price drop below direct cost. And nothing happened. No reply from support. Well I was optimistic, then I thought :huh: I can report cheating on enterprise page and everyone will see, as well support or admin team will take a deeper look into that maybe. Guess what? It is reported for 9 months already and thats all.
But still, that kept me optimistic, because I have only paid 709 Eur only those years, let's agree it is not huge amount of money, so you don't expect best level of customer service. And I was optimistic until yesterday when I saw a lot of PM and all the information about IL termination with my airlines. Two players ordered for the rest of them to terminate interline with me to feel safe (guys I know it sounds like a joke and believe me it made me laugh too :D ) message from one of the player:
" I voted yes twice with all my airlines when you applied for our alliance. Unfortunately, one of our strongest members is actively supporting players Tim79 and Daniel81, who are former members of our alliance, for whatever reason. I also think that this way of support can be regarded as cheating and I have to live with it as well" You won't see the user who sent this message to me because of his safety, who knows, maybe if Daniel81, Tim79 blackmail me, they can do the same to another player and if they two get this game soo sooo serious, who knows, maybe my car will be burning in the morning from the revenge to this post.
So let's talk about players Daniel81 and Tim79. At first I did not feel nothing bad about them. Daniel81 was my competitor in IST for former my airline HUY and Tim79 is still competitor (or not anymore, because I'm about to leave AS forever). Of course it look suspicious when you see brand new airline (like really, day or two old) with fleet of 40 new 737's. OK, you might say it is nothing bad to lease and put aircraft to market for 10 % of value (even it's strange because first of my user - pilipaite lasted for 3 years and was blocked because I took some cheap aircrafts, when I mean blocked - deleted, but still I was optimistic and created new user more representing me I'm using now). By accident I made a bid for one of the 737's dedicated to Daniel81. It was first time when received a PM from him saying that I'm stupid enough to bid for such a aircrafts and think that they will remain at me. After that message - I saw on more saying that lease contract was terminated by lessor. I wrote a reply: Everything is reported to the support. His remained silent. At that moment I thought: Now it's over. BUT
Only few days later I see new message from Daniel81
Now I thought, how and why Daniel is writing that his real name is Tim? Later that day I realised why - Tim79 and Daniel81 is the same person. Few weeks later message from Tim79:
Funny part is that he have never send a message before to me from that account and at that time I was sure - he is the same person and he just made a mistake where we can now all see cheating. First report on SEP17- nothing, JAN18, FEB18 - still nothing.
Ok let's continue: So from time to time I received messages with offers to enter stock market and sell CANADIAN AERO to Tim79 in order to save my airline in Turkey.
Later messages like this: I will drop prices in turkey and you will be gone soon - and Turkish Star (Daniel81 airline) really did that, prices were lower than direct costs.
After the xmas another one blackmail and offer to sell my airlines and with the money to I will receive to go somewhere far away.
And I did. I sold HUY (to Cathay, later who was sold to Turkish Star). By the way, I tried to apply for INDEPENDENT ALLIANCE twice - only answer I've received was: Morrissey is friend with Daniel/Tim on Skype chat room or smth and because of that we can't accept you (even my son age of 2 can understand how silly it sounds).
Now my airline CANADIAN AERO, because of the cheating and unlawful activities according game rules http://en.airlinesim.aero/wiki/index.php/Tutorial/1.5/general/Game_Rules lostmajor of interlines. Of course without them I won't last long.
I want to say thanks to Kevin, Sven, fredehorn, mikk_13 - users who show professional level of game
P.S. Dears, if incase you will see that users Daniel81, Tim79 are well expanding - you will understand thats because of "legal cheating on AS" when you have friends and rules are not equal to everyone. And by the way, sorry for not uploading all the messages I've received. Some of them are already deleted, for some of them I don't waste my time. Anyway, every single of that was reported, but as you can see - support is not working at all :)
P.P.S INDEPENDENT SKY ALLIANCE, you are not independent at all. Actually, you are most dependent alliance over all AS.
Best regards,
Dom
