I am currently in a game where I was falsely accused of cheating because I knew he was going to attack and banked my wits! It's been 3 days since he has played me back, so I don't know if he is going to let the game time out or take slow turns!

I recently accused a player of blatant cheating (via chat). Turned out that despite playing about 100 games, I hadn't twigged that you only have to CAPTURE the bonus square, not SIT on it, to get the bonus. Very embarrassing. Two saving graces. Firstly, it dawned on me to check this and I got to apologise before he read the chat. Secondly, I'm winning more games now I don't sit idly on the bonus square! Next time I'll get advice from all of you before making an accusation. I Am I the only dumb one who misread this rule?

It is good practice to sit a guy on the bonus square usually so it's all good

It's a bummer that they haven't dealt with the cheating. You can't really blame people for questioning things until they do, especially when it seems like wit abuse. Hopefully the next patch will address the cheating issue.

No worries. I'll take the free win. Big Grin. Would have been an interesting game.

Yeah, I was trying a new strategy!!! We have another game on the same map, so it´s not a real problem Tongue

Cheating in Machination? - pixieranger - 10-25-2012 08:10 PM

I'm currently starting a 2v2 game in Machination. Green went first and captured the lower left bonus square. I am orange, went second, and, after using a runner to capture the lower right bonus square, saw that Green has a medic-aided soldier - 4 health, not the usual 3 - sitting on his lower left bonus square. How is this possible? Bug or cheating? (Or am I missing something?)

He starts with 5 wits, uses 3 to create the medic, 1 to move the medic next to the soldier, 1 to heal the soldier, and 1 to move the solider to the bonus square. 6. Is there any way this could happen?

Medic costs 2

So much for my math! : )

Good evening.
I've been paying Outwitters for a while now and never had an issue nor a game that made me think someone might be cheating until now.
It could just be me, but I found it very strange how many soldiers my opponent was able to acquire in such a short time frame.
Someone pleas review this game reply link and give me some fresh eyes on this game.

Thanks in advance.
