In the New Update it says this:

"Stacking lottery games so you always win is against the rules. The games must be random, that’s why it’s a lottery. If you see someone stacking a lottery game, please report them using the in-game report system."

I see 1 player in particular doing this all the time, his name is MG and he uses his multiple alts in his own Lottery games and constantly gives his main account, MG, the win. Check the Win rates on his alts, it is blatant.

Hundreds of examples like this: http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=5554902
Things like: 13 player FFA: 0 / 432 (0%)
Using these alts:
Lolototo
Destroyer
gestapo
monster101

Isnt this against the rules? I am uncomfortable joining a lottery game where I know it's not equally random. In fact, just by me joining it, I am feeding points to MGs account.

Just wondering how legal that is.

You really didn't need a thread. You should have just reported it.

It falls under "you shall not use alt in order to give thee advantage over opponents in any single game"

definitely against the rules regardless if it's a lottery game or not.

He is not even trying to hide it. 35% in over 500 13 FFA...
1/13=0,0769=7,7%...
Even with 4 accounts in each lottery game one shouldn't have that high win rate.

Widzisz - Assuming that only 1 of the 13 other players gets booted that bring up the 7.7 * 4 to 7.7 * 5, which would get him to his 35% win rate. Also you could say that some of them are won by a bit of "skill" as he plays it so often he would find the best ways to play the game. I think that his 21 FFA is more impressive than his 13 FFA anyway, though the numbers are nearly the same.

Where is the "Skill" in a lottery-game?

If by skill you mean making a crapton of alts and joining with them to ensure a higher possibility of a win then yes he has skill..

Assuming that only 1 of the 13 other players gets booted that bring up the 7.7 * 4 to 8.3 * 4

Fixed. I guess your love is not mutual.

Assuming that only 1 of the 13 other players gets booted that bring up the 7.7 * 4 to 8.3 * 4

Except this is logically incorrect as 1) The player is still assigned a territory and 2) The player's territory doesn't matter unless it's the big bonus.

It would be slightly higher but barely notable.

hi all even though am a hi level player what are these ALTS PEOPLE are writing about

If 1 account is booted:
1/13 this account have big bonus, and here each account have 1/12 (8,3%) chance to win.
12/13 someone else have a bonus, and here everyone have again 1/12 chance to win.

1/13*1/12+12/13*1/12 = 1*1/12 = 1/12.

Essentially it just change to 12 player FFA, each account have equal chance to win.

Doomsday, 'alts' are alternate accounts. Since there is no cost to create an account, some desperate people with way too much time on their hands make multiple accounts and then use them to give their original account an advantage. Others do it so they can troll or harass people without impacting the reputation of their primary account.

And to add to Richard, other people make alts to fix their boot rate, or enter 2 clans at the same time.

Won 799 out of 799 5 player FFA in 2 weeks.

How did he possibly do that??

799 out of 799 in two weeks? How is that even possible?? Is he playing his own alts?

obviously 5 of his own accounts, and then went farming against his own accounts. Though it wouldn't have earned him a lot of points due to diminished points o.O

maybe he uses different alts for each game

He is playing alot of 21 player lottery games. If he for example has 5-6 alts in them the odds are fairly good that one of them will get the bonus.. and he won't get diminished points against the other 14-15 players then so even with many alts in play he can rack up a good pointscore

If he has one alt in each 5FFA, he has a pretty good advantage and gets the full points for beating 3 players too.
