Cheated? What to do?

Hello,

I set up a real time game, using chat, with Nicholsflak and 3yr. old colonel. Game # 9642682. The 1st thing in chat is this statement: Nicholasflak: 3 btw we both want his points and he has the best starting location. Well, it quickly went down hill from there. The game is Feudal War. They immediately started working together to get the blocking terts down and are taking turns attacking me.

I don't think they ever had any intention of playing a honest game. I'm wondering if I can file a cheating and abuse report against them?

If you look at the game you can see that Nicholasflak is obviously throwing the game to 3yr. old, so you can't even make the argument that they will play a normal game after eliminating a stronger player.

This is the worst experience I've every had on CC.

Thx, MrGato

The only thing you can do is post in the C&A forum and see if the mods find them to be multis or in violation of using secret diplomacy.

I guess you could foe them too.

No signs of secret diplomacy here. Your experience in this game really is the brutal reality of 3 player games. Often times 2 players will gang up on the third, depending on score (mostly for terminator) drop location or perceived skill. What you are perceiving as cheating is actually 100% legal, and so it should be. There is nothing you can do other than foe theses guys and try to forget about it.

Thanks for answering me on this. I also think the most likely thing is that I have to eat it.

However, there are some things that make me think they had a secret diplomacy going. In chat, after about the 3 round when he made an obvious mistake, I posted this: MrGato: what are you doing green? . He had opened up the blocking territory for his northern castle and it looked to me like 3yr. old had a good opportunity to take his castle. In the chat, this action occurred right after they had posted that they were not going to double team me
: Nicholasflak: Im not askin to gang on him. Blue did not attack him, instead he moved to make way for Nick to move past.

That was a big clue early on that they already had an agreement worked out.

After that they started posting about working together.

The other thing is that when I was setting this game up in chat, we had to wait 5 mins for the game to start, while one of them (I can't remember which) ran an errand. Maybe he took that time to PM the other???

I've never put in a C&A complaint. Is there a format I'm supposed to use?

Thanks,
MrGato

If you go to the C&A forum and click New Topic, there is a form you fill out there.
