Is it possible to cheat on this platform? My turn was skipped - no parrots or bonuses

[ghoatson]

Please look at the screenshot attached. Last season's winner somehow pulled multiple tiles in a row without a parrot or a bonus. It effectively skipped me, allowing him to end the game.



I'd point out that every time I play him, he gets the luckiest draws... but I'm happy to chalk that up to RNG and that this game hates me sometimes. However, the clear skipping my turn so he can end is a whole different issue. Again, I don't know if it's cheating or something else, but the arrows show exactly in the game recap where he flat out skips me.

hi,

it would be helpful to attach the link the game so ppl can check the replay.
I think it is a matter of order of effects: Column bonuses go first and then tile effects, so what I think happened it's probably:

1. parrot on column 3
2. column 3 bonus gets activated
2.1 flipped tile (column 5, second position probably),
2.2 flipped c5 1 to get a parrot
2.3 parrot gets lookout
2.4 column 5 bonus
3. finally, tile from parrot (step 1) for another lookout, filling column 2 and ending the game

without watching the replay and reading the logs, that should be it. Happy to check the replay if u link it here.

pd: I really don't think that u can cheat on this platform or that davidus22 did something out of the game rules, just a weird case of multiple parrots going on with the flip column bonus.

I guess, it was table #633028579, turn 27 to 31:

/gamereview?table=633028579

davidus22 got several parrots and a monkey. The parrots allow to play another turn and the monkey flipped a placed tile with a parrot on the other side of the tile. That was a regular play, I do not see any cheating.

I think you're absolutely right. Sorry for the confusion
