Doug 36201

xxxxxxx

The accused are suspected of:

Being Multis

Game number(s):

Game 4271449

Comments:

Not a great deal to go on but

a) its a freestyle game but they make moves a minute apart every time
b) name similarities- name followed by space then 5 numbers

The other 2 players in the team may also be involved but I would need a few more rounds before accusing those names

Wow, check this out. So I was comparing games between the 2 to see if I could ever find them playing or taking a turn at the same time to prove that they couldn't be from the same IP address.
(No offense TeeGee its just sometimes its easier to prove innocence rather then guilt) and here's what I found:

Out of the 10 plus games I checked I found them close to playing at the same time but not really ever having a turn being taken at the same time, to include freestyle games where this probability is more likely.

This is as close as I could find (Both games are freestyle games on the Classic Map):
(DISCLAIMER: I don't know or pretend to know or have all the answers, just cause I didn't find it doesn't mean that there's not a incident out there)

All 4 players are from the USA, and Im sorry that Im out of time right now, or else I would look at games these 4 have played together before. I know this very well may be a coincidence but in my 350 plus games I have never had more then 2 players miss a turn in the same round.
This one had 4 out of the 5. Definitely enough to raise an eyebrow at all 4 of them.
And all except treefitty are new accounts that joined with a day or two of each other.

Best of luck

Other accounts I mentioned that are questionable are:
treefitty
yulia
itexman
