This makes sense. Good suggestion Tisha.
How many games can one person play at once?, certainly not 50 freestyle games.

I once played a speed game on Doodle Earth to almost 50 rounds, because I refused to die, so I couldn't just give up points I work to earn to people who will rise in the ranks through no effort.

I was referring to the people that figured out that point dumping was going on, and then ran and joined as many games as they could get into.
I myself have joined 1 or 2 games, unwittingly, of a person point dumping b4. Once I realized what was happening I did not continue to join them.
I must admit the temptation was hard to resist, but in the end I realized that I play for fun, and the gaining of ill gotten points in that manner, would not be fun to me.

First it was from Doodle Assassin games, but I figured I was still winning about 2/5 Doodle Assassins, which was keeping me at colonel rating (I played probably around 20 of them and won around 8...). So then I just started tanking, but I refused to play any player twice when dumping... just a personal thing, although quite a few asked. I did it on unsuspecting people. There's nothing that says you can't use poor strategy in a game. I merely attacked all neutrals instead of my enemy. I see cooks who do the same thing all the time. In fact, I had a game where I specifically only attacked neutrals when going in vs a cook, and still managed a win simply because he was strategically retarded and attacking all the neutrals garnered me continents. So unless there's something in the rules about "if you are good you must employ good strategy"... nothing wrong with what he's doing. Although I'm amazed he managed to make cook, I could NOT for the life of me get lower than a regular sergeant... and that was after specifically trying to lose.

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games, intentional deadbeating, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts.

Multiple reasons. It could be to enjoy stripping senior ranks of high points when ambushing their games, it could be the enjoyment of rising again etc etc.
Regarding the philosophy of point dumping, I cannot see how anyone could have a problem with it, it is perfectly allowable, and actually does a lot of good. It reverses the inherent flow of points momentarily. It gives people a good feeling should they rise in rank...if they are not actually that good, they will quickly lose them again to more deserving types, so those points will ultimately end up where they should be. It levels the playing field and adds to the frission of who one takes on...
I am staggered at poohs suggestion, it reeks of elitism, something I cannot abide (for all my tongue in cheek remarks to the contrary).
