So what...

2 years ago I agreed with the previous poster, it felt like others were using two account. Others, not me, whats your point?

Yup, guilty!

You'll find many posts from me where I believe there is a difference between a cheat vs an exploit.

One is fixable. Example, someone runs a second app along side Risk, that manipulates the dice and rolls all sixes only for them. They used a cheat called "Roll all sixes" to cheat. Needs to be fixed, patched!

Someone playing dirty, without anything to alter game code, I basically call an exploit, who cares!

You don't have to agree, this does not make me a cheater, nor does it make me defend cheaters.

 That you've been defending cheating for literally 2 years lol?

I mean, you've literally been doing that.  You started a topic about how one player using 2 accounts in one game wasn't cheating ....it was an "exploit" lol. 

Really dude, did you hit your head and just forget all the times you've defended cheating over the last 2 years?  Because we can all still see your posts.

Matt....you don't get to make up your own rules.

Using more than one player is cheating lol.

It doesn't matter what you "believe".  SMG themselves (again, as if anyone with a brain needed to hear it from them) has said using MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS IS CHEATING.

So who cares what you call it?  You're a cheater.

It is cheating and you're defending it.

So "yup guilty"? 

I know you're guilty....... that was kind of my whole point?

Still haven't shown me a post where I defended cheating.

Agreed once, and referred to an exploit debate or something, but where is the defending cheating.

I hate cheating, misunderstood sometimes, sure probably guilty of that to, it's a human thing but I try!

None of this admits to me being a cheater or defending them. (supporting them)

I believe I started the post, BEFORE SMG posted those rules, just an FYI.

 Yeah, I haven't shown you defending cheating.....you've only started a thread about how using multiple accounts isn't cheating and made dozens of posts in that thread over 2 years defending using multiple accounts lol.

You don't get to make up your own definition of cheating Matt.  There are rules and the rules saying using multiple accounts is CHEATING.

Stop cheating and defending cheating.

You have to be autistic.

 In what universe do you need to be told that using 2 accounts and pretending to be 2 different players to play a game where you're only supposed to have one account is cheating?

Why in the world would you think someone having a 2 to 1 advantage over every other player in the game is not cheating?  Do you just not understand what the word "cheating" means?  Just because somethign is possible doesn't mean it's not cheating.  That's something a child would think and it's idiotic.

Quit defending cheating.

game is BS these are some of the impossible losses ive had

but it is never in my favour

21 v 14 lost 21 has 11 left over

10 v 4 lost 10 has 4 left over

the dice they use is impossible or there are hacks in the game that they will not ban

My problem is when players trade in card to get more troops every other turn.  How are they doing that.  I think it is cheating.  They will get troops with two card and then again at four cards and then again at two cards.  Whats up with that.

Constantine's suggestion of adding a personal rating for each player has universal merit and benefit, as they will receive their average rating from the majority of players, and the majority of players are who you are interested in satisfying as they keep the game alive and likely generate most income. 

If a player perceives someone else is acting unfairly, it might not be true, given a rating system people who are outliers and accuse everyone won't have an impact on ratings. Either that, or all ratings will likely decrease a bit depending on level, and players will judge by relativity, for all masters cannot be cheaters for instance, a master myself that's at least part certainty.

You offer a service, the game, and although it might make some people happy to team up at home for instance, this would be ok in some adventure game but in a game of calculated strategy, it creates dissatisfaction. 

I'm posting here today just as I'd come from a game of capitals on Boston where I was being attacked and blockaded by a master who was only getting 5 troops per turn; a master who didn't think to attack the grandmaster taking up the rest of map with 59 troops per turn. Because you can't get to master and be that ignorant, the master therefore was aware they played not in their interest and teamed with the grandmaster. 

This is an exceedingly obvious example, especially as the master in question started playing the kind of all-out aggressive Strats common once things get to 1v1 in our 2v1, and similarity had a tendency to throw out troops and protect his (buddy, alt's) borders.

So don't let me convince you; think about it yourself. Are examples of true and blatant exploiting of the game reportable enough that players who do this will be different in personal rating than those who alliance occasionally and are unduly reported?
