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.

If you really think men are coming at you you can change your name and your avatar.


I know on my settings page there's an option to "change name".


I really doubt anyone is going after you because of your sex, that's just in your head.


like I said, I play on a small IPod, 95% of the time I never even look at the player profiles except to check out rank and find out who didn't confirm and is a bot.  I never would even notice whether they're female or not and your name "Lorilemhar" doesn't sound feminine, it took me a moment to figure out it's just your name with no spaces. 


Why do you think someone would go after you just for being a female?

Glad you got that sorted out.  Like I said I've reported a lot of cheaters and SMG almost always responds to let you know what the outcome was and many times SMG just gives them warnings for a first offense so it didn't make sense that you'd be banned with no warning if you didn't cheat.


Glad to hear they're working to upgrade their cheating detection though.  The only way I've found to avoid cheaters is to host my own games.  So far so good.


When I was playing other player's games the cheating was rampant.  Too many people more concerned with their ranking than just playing a game.

Somebody mentioned people not confirming and botting out earlier but just as bad are people who quit midway through.


I just "won" a game where there were 5 of us left, 4 humans and 1 bot,  I was a little ahead on troop count but I didn't have a territory.


Anyway, about 40 minutes into the game 2 players just quit.  Both of them had about as good a chance as any of us to win too.


I just don't get it.  It happens a lot, probably because I play games late at night and people go to bed but if you're that tired don't start a game.


I ended up taking out the other human opponent pretty quickly then spent 10 minutes taking out the two bots but it really ruined what was a pretty good game. 



I mentioned this problem. I must agree that players who leave the game also makes a problem. But something can happen to someone and they have to leave the game because of a problem. That is rare, but I have no right to claim when it is and when it is not. Those who do not confirm the game do so consciously. They know the consequences for other players, but they still do it. Is it cheating or not?

Not confirming isn't cheating unless someone is using more than one account.


I've not confirmed before because you have to click on games quick and sometimes you don't actually want to play but the person starts the game before you can back out.


Another thing people like to do is have a game set up for six people but then they quickly change it to 4 player and start the game because they don't want to wait for 2 more people.


So when you thought you were joining a 6 player game you're now stuck in a 4 player game.  I won't confirm when people do that because I don't want to play a 4 person game.

At least when people don't confirm you're just dealing with a dumb bot the whole game and everyone knows it. 


When people leave mid game you might not notice for a turn or two you might be the one affected by the neighboring player botting out while the other players aren't.  It sucks losing a game because the player next to you quit.





Do you really consider me a fool? Of course it's not cheating. I do not confirm the game when the conditions change at the moment. When you set up a game for 6 players, you have 6 players, you wait 3-5 seconds for everyone to check everything and someone doesn't confirm. Is that cheating? I set the game on a small map for 4 players. I'm waiting for everyone to choose a color. When everyone is done, I wait a few seconds and again someone does not confirm. I have a long list of those players and I always throw out a few players because they almost never confirm. A few months ago, I suggested that SMG introduce a countdown after the last player entered. Everything is blocked, the player can come out, he can change the color and that's it. No bots and similar scams. Maybe someone agrees with me. If someone agrees, let him suggest the same. So we can get fairer playing conditions in the next update.

 You asked me if it was cheating, genius........

I'm interested in other people's opinions. Looks like you drove them all away because only you answer. You know everything, everything has to be the way you think. I was hoping someone else would answer. Your opinion doesn't matter to me.
Curious what you mean? You can’t attack? I have something that happens every few games where I attack and then it shows zero troops. I went 11-1 and lost all my troops- it showed blank then it went to 1 troop when my turn ended

 You said "quit bothering US".


Who is "us"?  Who are you speaking for buddy?


And you're seriously going to talk about me trying to "provoke" others when you compared people who report cheaters to "Hitler" lol?'


I know wanting cheaters banned really bothers you but you don't get to tell others what opinions they can have.


You're absurd buddy.  Now be a man of your word and move on.  Nobody is making you read my posts. 


Or.....keep replying.  Up to you but stop whining about it and acting like you don't have a choice.

Eric Asmodius,


If they make the changes to Auto Match as you say, perfect! (..and Thank You)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then would they remove users ability to report players, since it's all random ?

Blocking, agree with you "pointless" with 23 million players, noted, and thank you!

I mean......this thread is titled "cheaters"......it's been going on for years.


Look at all the people reporting cheaters and asking for them to be banned.


But you are saying cheaters shouldn't be reported and that when found guilty they shouldn't be banned lol.


Why do you defend cheating?

Us is everyone. You don't see ,everybody is run away.
You are really bored. I believe that you are finding 2000 cheaters in your 750 games. When you report cheating, you do a useful thing. I also report for if. Please stop writing nonsense. I don't protect cheaters. I tell you last time. Next time I'll go down to your level and start insulting you as you insult me.
