Saying playing on two devices is an exploit, as in not fixable. You can't fix a person from being a loser when playing a game. You can fix a cheater who uses a hack or program to roll all sixes.
There is a difference between an EXPLOIT and a CHEATER!
- Only one is fixable!
Tbmann81,
To make this apple to apples...
You say basketball, ok, say eight people, eight hoops, highest score wins.
But, one person decides to throw the game and help another player, even so blatantly to make shots in the other person basket, very obvious.
- Not cheating, just very cheat game play, and a very poor winner/loser.
Read the rule book, and you wont find it saying you can't do that, so not even a referee issue.
Even in the NFL you can run in the wrong direction, and the referee will let you.
Same for Risk, the other player is still playing by the rules, and using the same dice.
Where or when is SMG supposed to step in and fix it. I'm saying they can't, as it's just a player playing dirty, but not cheating.
SMG can only fix cheats!
Guillaume Soucy,
You ask who cares of it's an exploit or a cheater.
I say it's very important to understand the difference, as you can't fix an exploit as it's a playing by the rules but playing unfair or cheap.
If anyone can show me the rule nook saying one player cannot help another, then I would almost agree he is cheating, but still not fixable.
There should be a button to block players from joining games you start unless you unblock them. It's hard to remember all the cheaters' names.
Hey guys,
Reminder to make support tickets about cheaters you run into if you want to actually report them. These forum posts are not the best way to report people.

Haven't seen any cheaters for a while. I thought the latest updates might have done something to make it too difficult, but here's another example of multiple account cheaters.
The game was hosted by Henry the Lion 4 - Expert Level (Red)
Other players were:
Joseph Dagher - Master Level (Green)
Winston (ah yi) - Beginner Level (Blue)
and myself:
GPlayerKB - Expert Level (Red)
(Screen shot included below)
Red and Green are definitely cheaters, not sure about Blue.
I
was lucky enough to be in a good position from start. Due to the random
allocation of territories I had 3 of the 4 countires in South America,
with decent numbers of troops in and nearby. Within round 1 I had full
control of the continent.
Red requested an alliance which I ignored.
He then attacked me knocking out much of my strength in S America. I
was able to regain it, still with fairly decent strength.
From then on Red continued to all out attack me exclusively. So muich so that I was knocked out within the 1st 5 rounds, without even getting a chance to use any cards. At first I thought he was holding a grudge for refusing his alliance and hurting his army. So when I realised I was going to be knocked out I aimed to let one of the other players finish me off for my cards.
Once I was knocked out I realised Red and Green were deifinitely the same user or working together. Green swallowed up continents without making any attempts to defend. Red had multiple borders with enough troops to take out Green 1 troop and stop Green receiving continent bonuses for America and Europe but he didn't take them.
Once Blue was knocked out Green mopped up
the Red territories to win. The game was over within 20 minutes. Without
the support of 1 or 2 other players Green could never have usually
reached master level playing like that. (Unfortunately I only took screen shots towards the end)

I have reported all the cheaters that I know for sure in the game because some of them are very obvious. However, this issue has yet to be resolved. I would like to be able to get back into the game after being wiped so that I can see the end of the game and figure out who's cheating for real. This game is not fun at all if people cheat and I am considering to find something else more entertaining and healthy to play.
