In connection to this thread on kingmaking: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... er#p209951
I have noted all the other comments and am realizing there is probably a lot of cheating in the spades forum and I don't find it fun anymore.
Final straw for me in thinking the players chat and share their hands: 2nd hand of game, 52 to 60. I bid first with a 7 bid. first opponent went nil- not seeing his P's bid. One would think I have most of the spades and going nil with not much spades cover and the Jack of spades would be unwise- maybe a risk to take on the last hand... On my first spade lead, he throws the jack of spades which his P covered with King. When I said that was suspicious, he claimed that he never played with his P- which was not true. That was the oddest part. When I called him out on that, he went silent about that. The other player said not to subject them to "insanity" and file the report.
As others have noted, this is not isolated and lost trust just makes it not fun, so I will stick to online chess and cards in person.
