Filing a Report: Kingmaking versus Multiple Accounts

[sprockitz]

What is the appropriate report for someone who is playing a bunch of accounts, using 2 at a time in 3+ player games together to help the 'primary' account win. It seems clear to me that it is both king making and multiple accounts, but is their a hierarchy as to which way it should be reported?

Also with card games you might not have the single definitive move that makes it obvious it is king making, plus since this person has created many accounts they can use the excuse that the 'other player' is new. Both of these make detecting king making harder, but when you look closely at a whole game you can see move after move favoring the primary account while trying to hurt the other 1-2 players in the game. Plus there are 25+ games of this happening using at least 5 accounts.

I originally filed something as multiple accounts, but not sure if I should also report it as kingmaking (or should instead have reported it that way)?

Well, it depends primarily of what upset the others players :

• If 2 friends are playing together 3+ games with other players, and are making kingmaking moves to make one of them win, you should report them for kingmaking.
• If two accounts are playing together 2 players games to boost ELO ranking, you should report them for multi-account.

Conclusion : if 1 account benefits from all the games, report them for multiple account (in general, they are playing in 2 players configuration). If there are 2 accounts helping each other, report them for kingmaking (and of course this is only for 3+ games). In your case, there is a "primary" account so the best option is "multiple account".
