why is it ok for someone to start posting hurry up hurry up as soon as i start my turn but because i stall to make him stop i get suspended thats bs
Oh I did make one account strictly to play 4 player games. I am a 5-6 player game player. But I got curious about how to win a 4 player game so I made a new account and practiced and then... grandmaster lol Seriously, once you get up to those ranks you're usually fighting for like 10 rank points with a full win or losing 500-1000 with one loss. Even coming in 2nd place completely destroys you. That just isn't fair. We need a way to match up to competitive players. And novices are the worst. They do the stupidest things that hand the game to whatever lucky person happens to be after them. urgh.
Why blocking me again When other player are not happy to loose they post against me is that normal. I also pay 12€ do not see the publicity’s and you ban me for not doing nothing if you want to be fair record the games for a real analyse than you block the cheaters.
fair rule???? how can it be fair when i paid to play a game i love which is - risk. and now i have been banned over 25 times already without cheating ofcourse. just becoz the redicilous bot find me playing with returned players. is that fair? what fair about stealing my money without deliver what i paid for?
and if you think that the site staff knows that their bot is not working properly, is just proving the unfair of the whole situation. that's unfair, thats cheating - steling your end users money without delivering. this site has to be banned from the internet. cheaters!
I'm banned for 7 days, why?????? There'is no reason for that, and while that, paople who I did report, never get ban, you guys ban us e inven explain why especifly!!
I also think SMG should send a message to the player if they do catch you cheating. It might have more significance in making sure they won't do it again. "Your rank has been reset due to cheating. One more offense and you will be banned forever."
you know what would be cool? If they access the device's camera and take photos of you or show live video during the game. It'd give me a lot of confidence in knowing at least it's not the same guy using two suspicious players. But you wouldn't want to see me. I'm usually naked in my hot tub when I play haha.
All players are handled the same way by our system, the most common reason for negative reports is due to wrongly concluding that a good (or bad!) strategic move by one player is then taken advantage of by another, despite there being no association. RISK has players of all ages, a skill range from new to strategy games to RISK for 50+ years, and a large majority of players make their decisions purely based on emotion, missing out on potentially better strategic plays.
I agree, I think SMG Studio are useless and have no insight as to who is or is not following fair play rules
Guys, an account named Dilliard Smiling 33 killed me off before I managed to report him. A assume he was cheating, but since it was fog of war with blizzard cannot be 100%. That is why I need you to take a look. Here are some screenshots I took:
At least confront the player and ask him to explain how did he get so many troops unlike the rest of us early in the game.
Thanks and I am sorry if I interpreted this incorrectly.

Fair Play Rules
To clear up any confusion in the community on what constitutes cheating we have the following Fair Play Rules.
Hacking the game, in any way, is (considered) cheating.
Using multiple accounts in the same game (to gain an advantage over other players) is (considered) cheating.
Playing with someone you know in Global Domination is cheating.
Abusing a bug or glitch or knowingly encouraging abuse of these is cheating.
Creating a negative experience for other players, by actions such as spamming excessively, refusing to end games, intentionally disrupting gameplay, delaying gameplay (stalling), or abusing our reconnection system intentionally, is cheating.
Don't play with anyone you know or have external communication with in Global Domination. Use Play Friends or risk a ban!
If you wish to play with people you know please use the Play with Friends mode. If you still wish to play with friends against real opponents, this must still be done via Play Friends. Please use the RISK Community's #looking_for_game feature at https://discord.gg/risk
What happens when a player is reported for any of the above?
The following action will be taken if they are found to have broken these rules;
If the player was (found) hacking, they will be banned from RISK entirely.
Although we try to warn new players who might not be aware of the rules, such a warning is not guaranteed. You might be banned by automatic or semiautomatic systems before receiving such warning.
Should a player be banned - Their leaderboard position and rank points are completely removed. All games they have participated in for the current season, will have game results re-ordered so that they are placed last. All of their opponents will see this minor bonus.
FAQ
Q: How do I report a player?
A: Report in-app by clicking on their avatar and clicking on the red triangle icon under their name in the Alliance Window. If you come across any suspected hacking - Create a support ticket at http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new with the names of the players.
Q: Why can't I team up with my friends in Global Domination?
A: We take a "act as you would like to be acted towards" approach here. It is unfair to team up against unsuspecting player who believe they are entering a fair “free for all” game. The ranking system is designed for “free for all” gameplay, not teams.
Q: Will you be adding a team mode in the future?
A: Yes it’s our goal to release a team mode that allows you to play with friends or random allies against another team. No ETA on this currently, but you can find information here http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/11000009600 .
Q: Will more be done to prevent cheating?
A: Yes, we are currently rolling out a full suite of anti cheating features. Some have already been implemented and it’s logging play now.
Q: What is the difference between forming alliances with stranger and forming one with friends?
A: There is a difference between: the informal, temporary alliances forged and broken throughout the game (which, with all its betrayal, is an integral part of RISK) and starting a game with a friend or relative as well as strangers in there. This is intentional ganking and will not be tolerated. If you just want to play for the fun of it with your friends, start a "Play with Friends" game against AI opponents.
