Comments:
His freemium 'friends' play rather badly in their 1v1 encounters, perhaps it's time that a hunter tells them that exclusively attacking neutrals won't win you the game! They also seem to gang up on people in standard games according to the multiple accusations in their feedback. Last but not least they join team games on different teams, but ironically that seems to backfire from time to time (the freemiums win the game instead of the premium account).

This guy is on a roll! W inter doesn't have a chance.

Forgot to search for the exact number of games, but right now he has played 74 games like this. So that's...

• 52,5% of his 1v1 games
• 43,8% of his 169 wins

Shouldn't there be all kinds of automatic alarm bells going off? Those statistics + private games + the same players over and over again = at least worth a look by a hunter/huntress/hunt-thingamajig.

'Technically' speaking we would have at least 3 options available which should also trigger all kinds of alerts.

• He's using one static IP for all these accounts. Honestly hope this isn't the one, because I would get really worried if this is possible on CC without getting tagged instantly.
• He's using multiple static IPs from different providers and/or locations. They're taking back to back turns, so either he's a wizzkid with a legion of zombie computers at his disposal to take turns through remote desktop sessions, or perhaps an eccentric megalomaniac with an elaborate network of secret alliances.
• He's using one or more proxies. Sufficient logging would either point out it's a known proxy (which should be banned) and possibly even one or more of his static MAC addresses (which could also be spoofed, but then we're back to wizzkids again).

Enlighten me!

Bump, another 46 points gained in exactly the same manner. How obvious does it need to get?

Fortunately for us that is not the case - the hunters are already working on this one, they just didn't put that up in this thread.

Suspects:
* CiccioBanzai
* pasticcio
* ciccio.andrea
* annina
* topone
* w inter

Verdict: annina busted for multiple accounts with topone & CiccioBanzai. pasticcio busted for multiple accounts along with ciccio.andrea & w inter.

Sorry for the length of time it took on this one, but it was a very tangled web.

Well done, FP!

[Frop]

Thank you, FP. I've got 2 questions though...

• Most accounts show 'The requested user does not exist.', but why do CiccioBanzai and topone still seem to be active? Also, why are their scores not reset even though their abuse was clearly aimed at gaining points?
• Most of the busted accounts have played less suspicious private games with Alcesarcastica, eliasbecciu, Estel13, mav24 and Paperino. Is it safe to assume these players are clean?
