I was playing a game and I noticed too late that there was a 1000 bonus at the bottom of the screen. The person was clearly trying to hide the bonus and also game was a 1v1 game not a lottery game. I blacklisted the player because I thought it was cheap. I am just wondering if this is against the rules or something.

Always nice to see a Darklord fail at 1v1 ^__^

Yes, it's allowed. Yes, it's cheap. Trust me, I'm in MSF. But lesson learned, always check the settings of a game before playing.

OK thanks for telling me.

No problem.

NO it is NOT allowed. All lottery game must be marked as lottery in the title! You can report this by going to the game, click his name and "Report."

(One could argue it is a "skill" game as it has NoLuckCycle enabled. You are always allowed to report through, and even if it is deemed a skill game what he is doing is morally wrong.)

"I blacklisted the player" +1

(Note point 3. "It should be reasonably clear how to win. If the winning strategy is well hidden, you should explain it in the game description.")

Thank you for telling me what to do. I just recently started to play this game and I just needed to know if there was anything wrong with this game.

It should be in your highlighted settings. If you miss that...shame on you. But it is cheap.

Regardless I am letting people know about a player who is cheap so people don't run into the same problem I did.

Is it expected that new player knows about highlighting?

Maybe not how to change those settings, but seeing highlighted settings is easy. I thought altered bonuses was on by default, if not it should be

While the setting *was* highlighted in the "settings" -- it was a cheap shot. I've blacklisted the person also.

Thanks for the warning!
