The following gamer cheats in Catan by playing with two accounts at once. I have already reported it but no action has been taken. His gamer tag is “*” and he also owns “*”. When you are in a game of Catan with these two accounts they work together to benefit one or the other and defeat you. I’m talking unrealistic trades, always placing the robber only on you, etc. Check his Catan played games log, majority of his games have both accounts playing against a unsuspecting third player.


*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.

Reporting it is the only thing you should do besides red thumbing them. You don't just get to take matters into your own hands if you don't get the resolution you want as quickly as you want. Bringing it to the forums is not allowed.

This is pinned to the top of the Catan forum, but I'll post it here for your convenience:

If you continue to misuse the Forums in this manner, we will begin applying stronger moderation penalties. If you have enough evidence that players are cheating, the proper way to address this is to create a Moderation Report against them with significant evidence. (a single table or questionable move is not enough)

I am not convinced after watching one game of these two players. There was not a single fishy trade between them and only in the middle game there were some questionable robbers. But all four players played bad moves.

They might be favoring each other but in the single game I analyzed this was not at all obvious. You, Limitless_90, have played only one game against the two players. Perhaps you made it not clear to the moderators in which games they alledgedly colluded. It is always good to point out specific moves in specific games. Note that one game can never lead to a moderation on cheating the ELO system.

Please note that you are not allowed to name the players or their games here on the forum. You will get moderated for that. You do not need to convince me or other fellow players. You only need to convince the moderators. I just gave you possible reasons why you might have failed to do so.
