Hi all, Just wondering, is there a way to see if we have red finger against us ? Is so, how to see it ? Thanks in advance for your answer When you check out another player's profile, you should see his/her current status (i.e. whether online or offline). If that player give you a red thumb, you wou...

Let me summarize what you have in mind: Playing games with friends under training mode is the bullet-free solution from cheating, but about a ranked game or two won't hurt. Yes. Training mode is safe, with or without friends. Ranked games with friends are not suspicious per se, only when when they ...

PS: I just checked your 7 Wonders Elo history. Presumably, your original post was due to unhappiness after your "above 500" Elo has been reset. But looking at statistics, your current Elo is roughly what I'd expect based on your play style. So is the question actually "how do I avoid...

Let me paraphrase: 1) Do not cheat. 2) If despite not cheating, it may look like you're cheating, play in training mode. Let me summarize what you have in mind: Playing games with friends under training mode is the bullet-free solution from cheating, but about a ranked game or two won't hurt. Did y...

The recommended course of action is to play in Training Mode if you are normally playing against a small group of opponents. I have already stated that action is one way to avoid being suspected of cheating. There should be another way to prevent cheating, say like removing the friends label on all...

I mean that if someone wants to cheat to gain ELO by creating a dummy account against which they can win all games, they'd still need the dummy account to play and win against others. Otherwise, the dummy will be stuck at 100 ELO at most, and at some point the "real" account will gain ver...

Is it really a problem if you play repeatedly but honestly against the same opponent(s)? I can see it might look like cheating if one player wins 95% of the games, but if victories a bit more even, I don't see the issue (except that ELO cannot really be compared with the "outside" world)....

The post below are the one I have posted earlier, which has been deleted for not clearly explaining the entire case: I have heard several incidents where a player plays ranked game with friends frequently, and ended up being moderated with ELO reset. We all know that playing ranked game with the sam...

I can't do nothing. Doing nothing is not an actual action. I should totally write an e-mail to the BGA developers about this incident. You will get red thumbs for various reasons, here is those I believe I got in my games: - thinking too much - in coop game, playing good, getting a remark telling i...
