Not sure what you're trying to achieve by spamming these kinds of posts, other than seeing how long it takes to get banned: https://i.postimg.cc/kGK45tnV/Spudster-post-history.png

I imagine you'll find out soon enough.

To showcase a clear example. Obviously.

If you're not a paying member the games you play are rigged. Never again on this site.

why do you think its rigged?

I don't have the answer to this question but I have played over 1 400 games on it, mostly Carcassonne and one thing that worry me are the LONG LOSING STREAKS. One day, I was at a rating of 250, which is OK. Then, I lost 10 games in a row and lost essentially 100 rating points in one day. But I was not a better or worse player than the day before. There has to be a reason other than "random" to explain that. I also sometimes wonder whether tiles are really distributed randomly. I suppose they are but it sure does not feel like that most of the time. There is often one player in the bunch who gets all the tiles he or she needs all game long while you can't get any. I just have a weird feeling about these things is all. But in spite of that, I keep playing like mad

Humans are so hard-wired to try and identify patterns that we see patterns where there are none. In addition, we are bad at knowing what truly random looks like. If we see a dice roll 3-4-2-2-6-1 we think "ah that looks nice and random" but if we see 6-6-6-6-1-5 we go "well something's up with this dice programming" when it's no more or less likely than the first sequence I quoted.

In addition, humans are loss averse, meaning we feel more pain from defeats than we do happiness from wins. Chances are the times your opponent got lucky and just the piece he needed stay in your mind more than the ones where you do.

Thank you for your comment. You're entitled to your point of view of course. I don't play dice but I get your point. Does not mean I agree. It does not fit my play experience at Carcassonne. Have a good evening. John

Do people even have any idea how difficult it would be to program a rigged carcassonne?

And then also have you follow trough multiple different games and let a algorithm decide that your opponent needs to win this game because…….well here comes the most difficult part why on earth would bga favor one player over the other?

O the games are not rigged, no the site doesn’t decide who deserves a win.

You win some you lose some.
