So I am playing a strategic 1v1 real time game. Everything is normal UNTIL this guy speaks up in chat and says "I know all your states."

Now I, thinking this is just some angry troll who wants me to surrender early so that he can rank up, don't take that seriously. That is until he goes about naming all of my starting picks in chat. That's a little disturbing, especially considering the fact that he stole 2 of my 3 picks, so there's no weird chance that I stole all 3 picks.

On top of that, if this guy was some genius's alt, and had the skills to guess my starting position because of their strategic value, you'd be wrong. My 4,5,6 picks were coordinated well, so you could ask any strategic 1v1 pro, and they'd probably think I was starting elsewhere. I encourage you to look at the game, this is above odd.

Some screenshots:






And yes, I did boot him for the win (under the assumption that he is somehow cheating.)

i don't see anything special in here

facepalm... you stall all his picks and he ended up with a random territory knowing all your positions... wow

Also a genius alt wouldn't pick only 5 picks.. also guessing starts isnt hard at all

... What are the chances that he picks the same as me though?

:D

Next time maybe you should wait until the game is over before posting on the forum accusing a player of cheating when he did nothing more but pick the same as you.

And perhaps you shouldn't post a link to a game you were wildly outplayed in and won solely due to booting

Yeah...but I'm not really worried about my reputation. I guess you are
right though. Of course I waited until the end of the game, it's been a whole day since the game played out.

So you waited a whole day after the game and still decided to post accusing him of cheating when he instead used the most basic of deductive reasoning abilities? That just makes it worse. How is it you've played 1200+ games and still fail to understand such a simple concept as territory selection?

I agree with Richard

Yes, I reviewed history. The thing is, the chances of us making the same territorial picks are low.

Nevertheless,you guys are right.

not that unusual the person losing first pick get's his 6th

Chance:

1 in 432,221

I demand an investigation into this "alt".

The chances are pretty high.
Some territories are intrinsically much better than others, since they are in a bonus that is not duscatchered, and for strategic placement reasons. These territories are more likely to be picked.

6th Army group blacklisted. This is fucking ridiculous. You did not wait even for one minute before booting him. Loser.
