Pass N' Play Frustrations

I've also got a really good strategy I've been using. I don't have a name for it but first thing you do is to buy the game limit upgrade so you can have 35 games at the same time. Because you need a lot of games open for this to work.

Then start up maximum amount of games and spread it out so you get approximately 50/50 in terms of p1 and p2. Now you look for two games on the same map in which both opponents are ranked higher than you and you play p1 in one game and p2 in the other. In the game you are p1 you look at what the opponent did in the other game as p1 and play that move and vice versa.
So essentially you have the two opponents play each other! This means you will win one of the games and loose the other. This works great as I gain more points when I win against higher ranked opponents than I loose when I loose against them.
My hidden skill might go down 10 points on the loss but gain 15 points on the win. Notice that it only works if both opponents are ranked higher than me.

I've used this for the last half year and become 3rd in the world with it! But I doubt I will be able to increase my ranking any further as it is highly unlikely I will get a game with joelduque and poweewee, who are the only ones ranked higher than me, on the same map with one as p1 and one as p2.

Damn, Alvendor! I thought it was my only "know how" and nobody else knew this trick. It really helped me to become 5th in the rank despite the fact I don't even know the rules of the game. I just don't care!

But now I see that you are not smart enough since you don't know how to keep going. I wonder why with all this you are ranked higher than I am? That's not fair!!!
Ok, here's the thing: I start a new game. If I'm the P1 I cancel it (you know that you can do it without any penalty, right?). I need to be the P2 and when I am I throw a friendly game on the same map to Poweewee. He is smart enough to outwit anyone even having second turn. So he does all the dirty job and all I need is to mirror the moves. Actually, I'm too lazy for this too, so I force my cat to do this simple routine.

P.S. Please, don't tell to Poweewee!!!
