Comments: So I am always a bit weary of a "new player" that joins a a public 8 man freestyle game ASAP. Originally I had made 2 games, but quickly dropped 2 of them, as they were not filling with players I enjoyed playing. The majority had ranks, which generally do not understand how escalating cards work. This player had joined both of my games. Well me and a few other better players dropped them. Started a new one and right away this player joined again. So got me to thinking right off the bat that this was not going to be good, but since it was a public game I went with it. Well as I expected this player hit a large stack early on. I questioned his move in game chat. He would later respond with "2008-08-02 08:52:09 - Jokester: sorry brucewar... i was just informed in a previous game how these escalating games work. i do apologies, i was trying to go for territory and doesnt matter in this game." Seeing as he was still a ? this got me to thinking more. Since he was still under 5 games at the time I checked all his games and not a word was said about anything he mentioned. Another red flag! Well he ended up with South America after hitting my large stack. Not such a big deal. I am used to suicides. Then all of a sudden this player is a Private first class. So I checked his games out and every last one of them was freestyle! Not a setting generally chosen by a new person, and certainly not 8 man games. That is unless they take forever to fill and end up on the 1st page of "Join A Game". I then noticed he is winning 60% out of the gate! Yet another red flag. I checked every game he was in or had finished, and not one bit of advice about escalating cards. So not sure how he was informed when nobody told him anything. Did we not just have a bust like this? Maybe I am paranoid, but this is just not a setting people win 60% out of gate on. He knew all the right moves to make in a complicated 8 man game. Having played prolly 1000 or so of these, I can tell you that no other ? that has ever joined any of my games has had success out of the gates like he has. I have played a good many ?'s as well as other ranks. These public games always seem to fill with a decent mix of ranks. There are just to many RED flags to say this person does not have another account somewhere. Also in his other games he speaks as if he has a fairly vast knowledge of Escalating card games.
Thanks for looking into this. Lucky he is a freeium right now so that will keep his game count low.
