Cheaters

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.

At the top of this page is a + New Support Ticket feature. You can report them there. Stay on as a spectator and screenshot how they act after you are gone. Most of the time, one will lay over and die as the other wins.

I don't know how successful the ticket process is in banning cheaters.

I believe they also look at how many games they have played together in the same room.

 

How do you report cheaters?


Yesterday I met these 2; they either fall in love at first sight, or they are cheaters, because they played as one player.

I have deleted the risk app from my iPad and I will never play the game ever again. There are too many cheats, there are too many bugs and connection problems (especially the one that freezes auto matches before they even begin, causing you to lose), and worst of all, evil and stupid novices who get angry at you for the slightest attack and then attack you exclusively, causing both of you to lose the game (or who are cheaters).
Hamilton smooth bore 5 & stone trump 5 These two are Cheating it must be the same person master and grand master , green and blue , it even got to the stage that green did not cash on cards or attack Blue and chose to fortify. Quite sad it ruins the game .

Finding cheaters in risk seems like a ideal problem that can be solved using the AI features that are in all the main cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

 

For anyone not familiar with how these work is that you take all the data you have about a game. This should things like usernames, IP addresses, Platform, Complaints about a game, Length of game. Rankings etc. Basically anything at all you know about the game and the players.

 

Then you need to produce a dataset of games that were won by cheating and dataset of clean games. This is something that would take a little time but I am sure staff and volunteers could review games and flag them as clean or cheating games. This then becomes what is called the "training set". You give the AI systems this dataset and then they learn what games with cheating look like. Obviously the bigger and better the dataset the better the AI engine can learn.

 

One you have trained the AI engine then you pass a game to the engine and it will return a figure for how confident it is that a game included cheating.

 

I am interested in these kind of computer system but it is not really my speciality. Are there any experts in cloud AI who could comment on this.

MacKeeng is a very obvious cheater. He together with okey the bear 9, who is his novice ‘sidekick’. Okey the bear 9 just sat in a corner doing almost nothing throughout the whole game, except occasionally attacking me. There was one time when he could have easily knocked out another player with one territory to get his cards (instead he just deliberately passed on the opportunity to MacKeeng to seize that players cards). Disgusting and blatant cheating, in fact the worst I have ever seen! It’s so obvious that it sickens me that there isn’t even any attempt to disguise it! At least with other cheaters they try to make it not so obvious!

Carson Truth 6 and Butler Rambeaux 7 are the same person, watch out for them...
Why do people feel the need to cheat?. It's sad that you have to take 2 plus other avatars to win. You think you're such a great player? Use only one like the rest of? #future mrs wood aka Jamie hertz and Chris woods playing in perfect unison and leaving borders unprotected? And johnna something or other. You three are losers or if you're one person. You are a pathetic human being!

Nevermind, I was finally able to see their names
@ ivor moyano, I cannot see the screen shot clearly - what are the players names?
Red and blue clear cheaters. I find that lots of Grandmaster and Master level player are either allied or the same player with two accounts and they lure you into a 6 player game to reduce it to 3 and gang against you, so 2 on 1. Just like those two on the pic attached, red and blue.

Not quite cheating.... This is more of a tactical pep talk. Jules Pericolo 6........ All I can say is very very sour grapes. Me? Grandmaster rank who has not cheated to get to that rank. You? Beginner or Novice and likely to remain so. Did my usual, created a game of 4 players. Me, two Expert AI opponents and one space for a human. This way, I cannot be a victim of cheating. I am not cheating by setting this game up. What annoys me is that this pillock (no wonder his rank is an irrelevance!) just goes all out attack on me rather than trying to win the game. If you want to stand a chance of winning, play a sensible game. If you don’t like the bots then click out before the game starts or set your own little game up, k sweetie? Outcome? Despite this little nuisance attacking my heavily fortified Oceania continent and getting some lucky die rolls, I still wipe the little toe rag out first and get all his cards. Then it was a simple matter of outplaying the two AI opponents. Warning.... Try that tactic on with me, you will lose 95% of the time. At best you’ll finish third....depends if I have to deal with an AI before getting to you. You didn’t ally with me but for future reference, if you break an alliance, I will bomb you back to the dark ages, k gorgeous? Best to sit there, be respectful and hope I allow you to finish 2nd. Which I will because I am quite honorable unless you try to f**k my shit up. In which case, you get wiped first! 
Well I can see that there's lots of cheating going on in many different ways I was just robbed by two players Masters I posted their name earlier. I also played in a cheating game where a player was eliminated and somehow was able to come back into the game and like everybody was frozen. But clearly there's all sorts of cheating going on and all sorts of way I'm starting to finding out. It's a shame because this game is great I love playing it. But it's soon to be where I'm not going to play it anymore because people are just ruining it. SMG Hasbro needs to do something about this cuz it's outrageous and it's disconcerting. They talked about how they have a small team and there's not much they can do but watch my last game and watch these two cheats explain to a six-year-old there working together kick them out of the game and don't let them back
Yes I have also encountered to cheaters today both Masters. 10 18 17. I will give you their names Wolffpuppy11 & mattkaustik. They both carry the rank of Master. I watch the entire game play out and it is obvious to anyone that they are clearly working together. It is highly disconcerting. Especially when you wait all day to play you get into a game and it's totally stacked against you because you have two people working together it's unconscionable and something needs to be done about it. Thank you
Has anyone else run into this? I'm not sure if it's a new cheat or just a bug. I set up games with several computer players. In 3 of my last 8 games, one of the computer players suddenly stopped attacking anyone and just added armies to territories. In all cases, this happened when this computer player would have attacked a continent controlled by another human player. I now suspect this is a cheat because of 2 in-game events: 1. When I eliminated the human player benefitting from the "frozen" computer player in all 3 cases, the frozen computer player began attacking again. 2. The frozen computer player in one game suddenly started attacking again and another computer player became frozen...again when it benefitted the same human player. Luckily control of the computer players seems to be limited to one at a time.
