* already is listed in this thread for cheating together with another account (*), so no big surprise if he also does that with further accounts. Quite some effort, but redthumbing all cheaters avoids to get paired against them.

Reporting following two players:

Context:
My partner noticed something was off early in game on 28/04/2023 *. Players were taking long time during passing. Early in the game had two suspicious bombs that we did not give. My partner made a comment about it. But initially no response. Looking at their overall bomb stats and their last games did not make us comfortable. We asked them about it and didn't really get answers, only vague excuses. Next we proposed to "collectively abandon the game". Without hesitation they accepted. Looking further into it confirmed that these players are cheating.

Looking at standard deviation of top 100 based on ELO, probability of 1.13 is <0.014%. For 1.34 it is <0.003%.


Further info:
