Board Game Arena

There is a player who exhibits very strange behavior. It seems like he only wants to win matches, because every time he loses, he deletes his account and creates a new one.

I noticed this quite a while ago because he's one of the few who plays with the setting that allows the highest bidder to choose the trump suit, as well as his playing style in the final move: when he's (almost) about to win, he bids the maximum number of moves to make everyone else lose. Here are couple of his names, the last one was the one he used today:

What is the purpous of this? Why go trough all the trouble for such a silly game?

*Moderation Edit: please do not use the Forums to call out specific tables or players by name, this is what the Moderation Reports are for. The Forums should remain a general discussion.

Did I really get moderated for this? I just asked a question?

You obviously didn't just ask a question. You specifically named a user. I'm not going to speculate about your motive for doing that. But you could have just asked your question without pointing the finger at someone.

Here, I'll show you:

I understand your motive, but that wasn't my intention at all.

I gave some of his names because I wanted to know if anyone remembers him. And because the accounts were deleted I didn't think it could do any harm at all because I'm not targetting any existing player.

If I didn't mention a name, no one would ever bother to reply, because howmany names do you remember at the end of the day..

Case closed for me though. Just wanted to state my point of view

He who shall not be named did it again today by the way

What exactly was the question you asked?

It sounded mostly rhetorical. If you want to know the motivation for the player, why not ask the player directly?

BTW, moderator did give you clear instructions where to bring complains, but you continued to use this thread.

Bringing claims of cheat and/or misconduct into public forums is not recommended.

Indeed. Why should the general public be made aware?
