I was told by another player during a game that I was beeing suspected as a cheater in this forum, due to my high win ratio. I deeplly resent that accusation and demand from whoever dares to make so malignant judgements whithout prove, to substanciate such a nonsense with something more than envy. I believe that my win ratio is around 78 per cent these days, and that does not include around a 5 percent of games lost to cheaters and pga´s (pre game allies), and another 5 per cent gone due to disconnections.
Anybody who wishes to know how I do it, only had to ask, rather than throwing the shadow of this infamy on a honest player. First of all, know the game you play; surelly you can't expect to win if you don't realize you are playing hardcore random instead of attr borders. The number of players that just thow themselves in to games whose rules they ignore is legion. Second, host your own game; that allows you to be able to ban unwanted players. I personally expell known PGA's (cheat me once shame on you, cheat me twice shame on me), abusive players who insult everyone due to lag of proper medication, and suicide point hunters, those guys who try to climb the ranks by atempting any possible attack in round one to leave right after. These last ones still make it in my game often, since I can't remember all the names being so many, ( it is not bad memory, it is the fault of that german doctor... what´s his name... damm it... oh yeah Altheimer). Also players who try to truce even before moving are not wellcome in my board.
I used to refuse also players who held a grudge against me for who knows what reason, but I have stopped doing so because in a couple of occasions I expelled the wrong guy. Also some players told me that they had nothing personal against me, but just wanted to beat me due to my high ranking. Much as I consider that being targeted like that is a dissadvantage for both me and the other guy, I can't condem it as unrightfull playing, so I decided to endure it since sooner or later they get to win me and then leave.
Third, do not play games with less than four players. That usually gives a big advantage to the first player moving, very often definite towards the victory.
And then a lot of smaller tips that came mainlly from experience, do not overexpand, know the reinforcement limit, remember that you can lose 10 8vs8 in a row, and that a 7 can lose to a 3, don't get personal with annoying players since you are likelly to target them rather than play towards victory, think ahead of the next move, try to predict how the other players are going to move based on their previous playing styles, and so on and on and on...
Well, I think I am getting boring here; just wanted to say that if someone believes I cheat maybe should try to prove it. Thanks for enduring my faulty english so far, (actually my english is freakinglly perfect, it is just my typing what sucks
), good luck and have fun.
