WADASZ: Ignore my coloured name, I'm not a mod of this section, just giving you an opinion/advice here.
If you take the player redtop43 as an example, all he ever plays is 4 player classic at least from first glance. Now, if you play the same settings all of the time, you are going to run into some of the same players over and over again and over a decade, that could amount to hundreds, or thousands of games depending on how many overall games you play. Now look at his win percentage 42%. I would expect people who were gaming the points system for 10 YEARS to have a higher score and win percentage than that.
I also think from your last post that you misunderstand how the escalating game is played. The goal is to wait for the right moment, then eliminate everyone at once by stealing their cards.
For example. If I am playing against a few opponents, I am probably more concerned about cards and spoils than I am about bonuses. I might take an easy bonus, but my ultimate goal is getting a card each turn. When the next set is 15 or 20, you might be in a position to eliminate the weakest player, provided he has enough cards to let you cash again to take out the next player and so on. That's how you win at escalating. It's not rocket science. You can just battle it out on a small map with only 3-4 like that and win it before the cards even become a threat, but it looks like they played that game with the card strategy. No one needs to cheat to do that, just have the right opportunity.
