I noticed these "2" players acting strangely as if they were working together in a recent FFA game. When I checked the history after the game I noticed many odd happenings. They left bonus borders unprotected when next to each other and the weaker of the 2 acted as a unit. Nothing I could do but make sure that lame excuse for a player lost but I thought FFA real time players should be able to know if they were getting into a game that was rigged. That is all, have a good night.

Here is the game if anyone cares to check: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9507580

Edit: Both accounts only play one game at a time and only when the other one is playing.

they might just play together or something

They could be friends, family members etc.
I know i used to play with my brother and we would both play FFA sometimes (not often) but i wouldn't say that's cheating.

^ thats actually cheating, since you have team games for that, you and your brother can play together there, playing in FFAs is clear cheating since you disadvantage other players

blacklist them

i mean. there are people that have "peace" in FFA games ... so is that cheating to?

There was no private chat for them to make peace in, so that was not what happened. In FFA it IS cheating to have a teammate playing with you. I did not post this because I am angry, just so the community would be aware if joining an FFA with them in it you are at a disadvantage. And of course I blacklisted them! :P Happy Hunting ya'll!

I support this message.

Blacklist and move on!

Technically they could have communicated via mail

^ how? before the game got started?

Nope, Sending mail to one person can happen, it gets around the in-game chat. Not that I've actually done it in a ranked game, just a trial run with a family member's account to see if it would happen.

if they are paying attention to the game, and their mail, communication via outside mail in warlight is workable, though definitely a bit more work

MisterKast also did that in this game: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9407942
and again with Rododendron in this game: https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=9378769

I think I may have won the second game without that collaboration, I was stronger than either one of them but was unable to defend against both (although with blue in the east I might have been in trouble either way).

I blacklisted them all.

Report them. Let the admin investigate. It is not allowed to use alts to cheat in FFA games.
Click on the player name. Click "report". Select "Other".

MisterKast, Rododendron and REJ all look suspicious.
Rododendron and REJ immediately surrendered after helping MisterKast to eliminate other opponents. They never fight back. It is not how you should play in a FFA game. Even if you form an alliance with one player to eliminate others, the relationship is only temporary. You are supposed to break the alliance and fight against that player eventually.

No matter whether they are real friends or alts, their true intention is clear. They are not here to play a good game. They just want to help MisterKast to cheat easy wins.

Two games have private messaging disabled, which means we are not supposed to make secret pacts/alliances to gang up against another. All conversations have to be public and seen by all players. It is considered cheating if you use mail to bypass this restriction.

^ thats actually cheating, since you have team games for that, you and your brother can play together there, playing in FFAs is clear cheating since you disadvantage other players

We were in the same game I didn't say we worked together, mostly we played team games.

Pretty sure it's at least a trio(MisterKast, REJ and Rhodendron)
