Report players when they are cheating.

I want to be able to report players that are cheating. Maybe by showing a recording how the game went and also report who wasncheating and how. Give them punishment of some sort.

troubling centaur3862 & Brent Parker  is a blatant cheater clearly running two accounts used the brent parker account to attack me every turn regardless of how obvious it was that it didn't help his cause i.e. 5 troops vs 25 just to weaken me for the other account this ruins the game 

this guy uses 2 accounts and I know that as a fact I've played with him multiple times this is against the rules and he should be banned. I have attached an image which shows this.image

I understand it is hard to tell if people are cheating or simply just teaming up for strategy but there are clearly times when someone is using two accounts such as entering an alliance with a different player then using both accounts to attack their unsuspecting ally. If the game simply made it unable to attack and ally while in an alliance and for a few turns after it is broken so people can be ready for an attack and they have a chance to defend themselves
Could it not be a random matchmaking when going into tanked matches by selecting the map you wish to play and then the game auto placing you in a lobby like most other games with ranked playlists all games having the same standard rules then stopping players joining a lobby with a second account. If people want to play online against other players by teaming up allow them to do this in a casual unranked game mode?
What if players faced random record inspections or 'cheat checks'. Cheat checks would consist of basically the same process as the one reported players are already subjected to. However, it would probably work best if it was an automated process. Suspicious accounts could be flagged for human attention. To make it more useful the inspections could target only players who have played recently and or accounts that are high ranking. If this were a public effort it would serve as a significant deterrent to cheating.

Of course you could Matt because no doubt you and your buddy would have 4 accounts between the two of you in every game.

Matt, whether you cheat or not I can't prove.


What I have proved is that for the last 2 years you've been defending cheating.



Imagine that Briand, having twice as many turns, card and troops as your opponent "ruins" the game.  Who would have thought?  I mean you really needed to cheat to figure that out?


I would never cheat at a contest and never have.  Whatever my record is is what I am.  I don't have multiple acccounts to keep up a ranking.  I don't care about rankings.  The high ranked players are mostly cheaters in the first place.


I just want to play a fair game and when guys like you use more than one account it "ruins" the game for everyone.


It's pathetic how much some of you guys care more about rankings than playing a fair game and being honest.

Well there just came a point where I was like, wow it'd be so easy to just use 2 devices so I tried it. But yeah I realized it would make the game boring to play. I actually lost a lot of interest in playing over a year ago because there was no rank filtering. I played about 6 games a day and now it's one game a week. So nice of them to make the game more playable when I hardly care to play anymore.


Rank matters in a sense that when you're up late at night and you're a grandmaster and all you can play against is a bunch of idiot novices and it would be so frustrating with how they'd gain up on you just because you're the GM and everyone else is an idiot. It was like putting a huge target on all of your troops. So on those nights I'd just make a new account for "fun" (to not care about rank) and before I knew it I had another account at the same ranking. So cycle and repeat and there you have it. This essentially comes down to exactly what you're saying with "who cares" except I legit want to play the game in a more fair manor.


Now that there's rank filtering, it's no longer a problem. Just the cheaters. So naturally I'm playing with accounts I care less about. When cheating is finally fixed that'll change but probably will never happen?


Anyway, how is having other accounts ruining the game for you? I am actually only active on one of them. I just have 6 others that I could play. And 1 that I will play with if cheating is finally done away with.

Shelby Long Hair 22 and Okey Lister are the same person.
Appreciate the site responses to us players on this topic on difficulty to stop or id cheats, however do believe is increasing (thus decreasing interest in online play) and methods to metric track and apply some limited AI to start game methods, IP tracking, and tactics used can and have been done by other apps/sites successfully. My experience is about 10% of online games have been somewhat to blatant examples of single player stacking with robots or a second account which is not insignificant and reduces my appreciation for an otherwise terrific app (one feature need : back button when mistakenly advancing to fortify...).

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

this is classed as fraud when you buy a game you expect it to be fair but when it is not then its a breach

 

Luca42000 and mightyflare 22 are the same person. Luca42000 level master continues to collect soldiers the whole game. Mightyflare 22 beginner attacks my Australia from South America the whole game. They do not seem to balance the game. So all other players, including myself are eradicated from the game. Finally, its no surprise that Luca42000 is always winning his games. Is the risk app able to verify this information and control this abuse?? John
