Comments:
Hawaiian, a cook, joined December 15 2008, and has completed 23 games - all but four of them include Tyerone. He has won 0 games, but of those 19 completed games where the two have played together, Tyerone has won 15. There are other games in which they are playing together that are not yet completed.

Since he joined in April 2007, Tyerone has completed 44 games and won 21 - so 15 out of 21 wins have been in games that have included Hawaiian. All but one or two of those were 3 player games.

The stats alone seem very suspicious to me. They are both Canadian, so may just be friends, but many of Tyerone's wins seem to have been because Hawaiian was playing with him. If they are not multis, then they must have an agreement - which would fall under secret diplomacy.

Note that in game 5078618 (my only game with them), that their turns are taken around 30 seconds apart. Note also that since I posted this suspicion, they have started to attack one another in my game (they hadn't beforehand), and are taking their turns further apart ...

In the first game you sited Game 5082691 they admit in chat to being siblings when questioned by Iron Maid. They even claim to play from separate computers so could give a different IP address. The mods will have to look into whether or not they believe this story and if there is any diplomacy going on in any of the games that are secretive.

Good Luck,
King Sam

Thanks Lance and King.

I've never been in this situation before, so what's the process from here? Does this mean they'll be blocked, and that they will therefore deadbeat in the games they are currently in?

Thanks for looking into this one!!

They wont be BLOCKED, but both accoutns are made into guests with only the main account granted access to buy back into the site to get a regular account again.

But right now both (or one) will be able to finish all games they are in and are awaiting for. After those games are over every additional account besides the main one are there without being able to do anything, and as I said the main one will have to fork up $25 to play again.

So if they win they get your points, play to win still.

Good Luck,
King Sam

P.S. Not saying that this is good practice, but Im sure if you took all of your allotted time with each turn (which you are allowed to do) there could be a slight possibility that one or both accounts deadbeat.
