The list goes on and on and on

Comments:
I wouldn't have noticed before except that all 4 missed the turn together which doesn't come from 4 players all on the same team, i checked other games to see if it was just a new quad strategy and none of them had missed turns before.
They are all around the same rank which is kinda catchy because they play almost all their games together
I checked a lot of chats and no once did they post a message to the other team.
the turns are all within 10 seconds of each other and never have they played a move within a second or two of each other which is likely to happen when two people are on at the same time.
Except for one account they leave ratings for each other with comments that are mean but suppose to be funny obviously all the same person's humor

All in all all these things add up to pretty suspicious 4 accounts

Ah yes, I knew some noob would point the finger eventually. Unfortunately you're going to be sadly disappointed.

Thanks for being so rude, when i see something so set up like this its hard not to report it.

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:04 pm

Hard not to report precision teamwork? My teammates didn't take their turns because we've all been a little busy this weekend. And what, being rude by calling you a noob? Because you certainly are if you think my roommates and I are multis.

by **jnd94** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:08 pm

lol, because we all know they are your roommates.....you could have said that in the first place instead of being a dick.

What he said! Now you all are on the game we are in and calling me rude names, that's really mature of you guys seriously.

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:39 pm

So what is the complaint here? Rudeness? Hurt feelings? Sorry for my teammate's language, but come on, let's drop this.

by **evilegi** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:41 pm

Mac seems to be your main account? The only one of the accounts that actually leaves ratings seems to be mac. Mac is also the only one i saw chatting before today.

dude, drop it?!?!
haha!!
real nice from a guy who is very suspiciously missing turns the same time as his team mates in the same game..
that should set off an alarm right there...

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:43 pm

Haha, fine then. Keep complaining, a hunter will come by and say we all have different IPs. If that's what it takes to make you happy.

by **evilegi** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 6:54 pm

Ok so obviously you know ip's is what keeps you from getting banned or you wouldn't be so eager to throw out that you took precautions, may i ask a hunter if there is a different way to tell?

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:10 pm

By all means, be my guest. I simply don't appreciate being called out as a cheat.

by **lancehoch** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:22 pm

The hunters do not tell people how they search for multis. That would be like telling a bank robber how to get around a bank's security system (no I am not equating the money in a bank with the integrity of the site, I am just drawing an analogy).

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:05 pm

Understandable, that's just the only way I could imagine it is done. Looking forward to being cleared though.

by **evilegi** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:33 pm

Lol i understand lance I'm just hoping that you use more than just the ip to tell if people are multi's. lol good analogy we can all relate to banks and bank robbers....

Sorry for accusing you mac, but seeing you check up so often on the cheating and abuse it seems you knew you were going to be accused sooner or later, knowing that its so weird to see 4 people in perfect harmony. You were the first to find the thread, funny how that worked. If it wasn't me it would be someone else please don't be so harsh we are all waiting to see how this turns up.

by **The Neon Peon** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:44 pm

Stop drawing to conclusions. If you think it is that obvious how they search, then there is another method. Besides, it seems to me that enough non solid evidence like some random new recruit winning 20 out of 20 games when they just joined against majors all of them being on maps like AoR is enough to bust someone without checking anything else (making an exagerated analogy as well, now to the whole indirect point....

How in the world do all 4 of you miss the same turn on a team?! The odds are really, really low that 4 different people that semi-know each other which have rarely missed turns just happen to break their perfect streak at the same time.

by **mac46** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:56 pm

As I said before, we're all roommates, and if you really want to know, we missed our turns because we were out drinking Friday night, at our football game Saturday, and out drinking again Saturday night. I can't believe having a social life is enough to bring suspicion to us, but there it is. Believe it or don't, that's what's up. And evil, I was kinda tipped of when somebody completely random wrote in our game chat.

by **hecter** on Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:39 pm

Mac, would you rather people not report multi's at all? Y'know, people seeing suspicious play all the time and shrugging it off to "Oh, they must just be roommates..." Look, reporting somebody is easy and worthwhile for the quality of the site. And getting accused is no big deal either, unless you're a cheater that's gonna get banned. Don't be a dick.

Clarifying something up... so you are room mates, who all love beer, and cc, and play football?

You dont have to love football to go to a football game. I would also bet that, one thing that brought them together was that they had a few things incommon. You ever go to college/have roomates there? I did, we all liked/loved the same things. Really not that uncommon. 2 of which, we alcohol and football.

if they are roommates why would they all have different IP's?

(probably I dumb question but, well that's just me being me

)

We have different ip's because we set our wireless network like that to avoid suspicion. We're not stupid, we know people will think it's suspicious that we take our turns together. So we assumed it would be clear that 4 different ips = 4 different laptops = 4 people.
