Report on Cheating in games

worldfamous · 10-02-2012, 05:41 AM

I don't want to say this is cheating yet but I thought I'd throw it out there to get some feedback. I'm in a 2v2 game where the replay is completely buggy. My opponents last 3 moves, out of 9, do not show in the replay. Nothing occurs that couldn't happen as long as he actually has 9 wits, but the fact that its the 3 after the guaranteed 6 that don't show, makes it fishy. Another kind of weird thing is the opponent is ArtNJ1, not ArtNJ, but ArtNJ1. I realize that everything that occurred in the game is easily explainable and I'm not saying they're cheating but I though ID throw it out here to see if anyone else has seen anything like this. I took some screen shots that explain what happened. I'll post them when I figure out how.

I think I've seen some buggy stuff in the exact same game! Like his turn will end on the replay and then the next turn will start and one of his units will be in a new position. Art, what's up with you?

I wouldn't be too baffled. ArtNJ is on the beta team and we've got a slightly different Outwitters app build than you guys do. We've got some sort of switch to switch connection from beta to live server and vice versa. It could well be the beta build/server are somewhat playing a role there and have the game bug out.

As it seems he also created a second account to better distinguish what he's doing, right? I can't explain it with the currently stated information but I'd simply not pay much attention to it. ArtNJ wouldn't cheat, except accidentally.

Ok that's good to know. I didn't think it was cheating, but I'd never seen nor heard of anything like that. Glad to know its just a bug. Kind of a bummer because I'm playing so poorly in that game, I was hoping I could blame it on cheating.

I'm 100% sure I'm playing someone who is cheating, what am I supposed to do?

I resigned the game, here's the replay

Replay

player is called Dzikko, he's trying to be more subtle than other cheaters but look at how many wits he's using per turn!

it crashed in turn 6 but other than that i think he was using the right amount of wits. 5 in his first turn. 7 in turn 4. then the replay crashes. then 7.
edit: i miscounted. 8 wits on turn 4

yeah. from turn 4 you could already tell he was cheating. i didnt get to count the wits he used in turn 6 cause the replay crashed.

I watched the replay, but it didn't crash my iPad?
