A new named appeared in my ST league division at #1, 600 points higher than the previous #1. I just got matched up against him and he took his first turn on Sweetie Plains without taking either of his bonus wit spaces. It's certainly possible that he's just going for something really unorthodox and I'll see the wisdom of his ways in a turn or two, but given the reports of cheaters in this thread I can't help but raise an eyebrow and wonder.

I have a somewhat similar situation in my 2v2 league. My partner and I are in the 5 spot with around 252 points and 2-4 have anywhere from 300-450 points. The team in the #1 spot has 1266 points. How is that possible? Those of you that play 2v2 know how slow it moves. I play 2v2 almost exclusively, with 20 matches going at all times. We win somewhere between 67%-80% of our games. Are these guys cheating? Is there a bug? Have they been playing since beta and it didn't reset at launch? Would love to hear from anyone on this matter.

Nothing wrong with that. Check how many games they've won in total, it's probably a lot more than you (which doesn't mean they are better).

I wonder if they are capturing network packets and doing some manipulation. I debated looking at a packet capture to see what is being sent in the game, but haven't gotten around to it since I'm moving...

Ok, something is definitely wrong here. They went from 1266 to 1950 in 2 days. At is just not possible. I have 20 2v2 going at all times and maybe finish 6 games a day. At their pace you'd have to assume they are completing 20 games a day against higher ranked opponents and winning all of them. No way that's possible. Anyone have an answer for that?

Interesting approach - if everyone in the community would do the same, we could effectively ban this cheater ourselves by cluttering up his 20 game slots. Each of us would only have to sacrifice one or two slots ourselves, but he'd be stumped. Always take 4 days to do your turns and even if he can win in 5 turns it will take him 8 days.

I find this morally right.
