For those who want to report the players directly (go to their profile and click report player. This gives more options than just the red thumb)

All the options I get on Report Player end up saying I oughta give a Red Thumb. Except in "Multiple Accounts", which I am not sure is the case of this player specially.

I am fairly certain the other two accounts are secondary. They were both created in the last month, and watching all the games you can clearly see the secondary accounts giving away the win. There's also another game I need to get a link for where Sweet_peach sacrifices himself to crash out another legit player so Lory can continue unhindered.

Maybe they were trying to set the champion up.

There was another interesting moment this season. What can you say about the secondary account of the challenger, who lost a few games on the last day, failed to become champion, and is now trying to slander the champion?
The corresponding account may be found in this game, who obviously lose to challenger: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=811624998

It’s strange that the additional account was deleted immediately after it was discovered and the community was notified. What’s more, the jealous challenger, right after the second account was discovered, immediately blocked the champion so he wouldn’t have to face him in the head-to-head race, afraid of losing.

When I've seen such the situation I stopped playing on arena, because looks like moderation doesn't care too much about cheaters at all like the challenger.

What do you guys think about this? Just opinion

I'll point out that I'm pretty sure it was Lory_Lori who first informed me of that match with the two lederniermoai accounts in that game. He was pretty vocal about it and was spamming it in every game he played at the time. Unfortunately I didn't put in the investigative effort I should have at the time and essentially fell for it. Reporting lederniermoai in the process (I'm sorry for that).

A few weeks later I was in a game with Lory and AlainProst where I got caught in the middle of them arguing over fake accounts. I'm not sure exactly how I got caught in the crossfire, but Lory started accusing me of being a second account for Allain. That chat got VERY nasty. I really should have reported it at the time.

Now these accusations are coming out and the games I reviewed with Lory, Caly, and sweet_peach look very convincing on the cheating front. Either collusion/kingmaking or blatant multi-account cheating.

In any case, it seems like BGA likely isn't going to do anything about it, and I doubt much will come out through the community. This has all left a bad taste in my mouth as well.

I enjoyed battling with everyone through the season. I had some amazing races and super close matches. It was a great time. Sadly, I'm not finding the changes for the new season to be very engaging for me so I'll be skipping this round. Maybe if the cheating gets taken care of I might come back for season 3.

Good luck everyone

It's sad that nothing has been done yet.
The account we are all talking about is playing really a few games, because he is busy playing with other accounts I discovered. Capyboardgames is one of these. Now I'm very suspicious about two accounts, named after real present day formula one drivers. One is first on rankings now.
Probably those are all fair and square games, until at the end of the season he will again make the same moves to fix the rankings in favour of the best account he's playing at the moment
