How do we report cheaters? ucanna422 & his dupe accnts
@ucana422____ wounded you.
@ucana422 wounded you.
@riZZ0422 wounded you.
And then another attack from each of them... all within a span of about 15 seconds.
Duplicate attacks attacking a single person at the same time smells like cheating to me. Can we request that cheaters be banned?

This problem has, for the most part been fixed. The issue with ucana has been solved, with the "don"s and so on.
Further accusations of cheaters can be directed at brent@playspymaster.com and i will take a look into those account activities. Thanks for your continue patients and reporting on the matter =)

Inappropriate?This would be the place to report cheaters but what they're doing isn't really categorized as cheating--unfortunately for you this is more like strategy.
I don't know if you've heard about clans but there are two big ones out there PUMA and ZombieNinja. You were just attacked by PUMAs. The only defense is to join up with the Zombies. I suggest you contact @Podcasting101 and join up with the Zombies. Not only will the game be more fun for you this way but you'll also acquire a truckload of eager Spymaster players who will always have your back.
I’m hopeful for you, pal.

Yeah like that helps :P I mean I was in Ucana's spyring and he still tag teamed me till I was dead. Not to mention the hero did it while I was asleep and couldn't retaliate with my own clan before he delivered the death blow.
Better chance is to join my clan (Ravenedge FTW!!) and don't get stuck in the middle of the zombie/puma war LOL -
Inappropriate?They're changing their display names but not their actual screen_name

hmm I think I send an email about that a week or so ago... -
422 is just a change of a tag for people to distinguish who was who. it's not cheating. they're twitter screen names are still the same -
oh I know all about that but when one attacks you, you direct messages said one and you get a reply with a screenshot from said attack from another then all kinds of alarm bells start to go off with me :P -
Inappropriate?Brent you are wrong, and you need to be told.
Ucana422 is using several accounts, not just changing the username.
http://twitter.com/ucana422____
http://twitter.com/ucana422
those are just 2.. Different twitter url's
Its unfair to change username and hide away from an attack, but its illegal to make multiple accounts on spymaster, you should read your own rules..

I’m serving you

Inappropriate?those are actually two different people completely.
Ucana wouldn't have different follower accounts on his two accounts either. they'd both be equal and very high...one is a lot higher than the other. Is there some other proof you have that these two accounts belong to the same person?

Besides the fact that when I DM'ed one person about an attack on me and within seconds I get a response from the other account with a screencap? Then no, I don't have anymore proof -
please do not ask for proof when you clearly have none of your own. As Ellen said above, she sent a DM and got a reply back from the other dupe account.
You make rules for spymaster, why don't you follow them and do something about this. Fair is only Fair -
What do you mean have none of my own? Why would i ask for proof if i had any of my own?
If this was against the rules I'd do something about it. I've yet to be given proof *or find proof on my own* that breaks the rules. I cannot see that she got a DM from someone else, or that she isnt simply confused about several members of a clan attacking her. Cool your jets Jasper -
Excuse me? I was not confused on who attacked me. This was way before all the PUMA shiz started. I got attacked by Greystone422 (that was his name back then) I send him a DM about why he attacked me because I was in his spyring and I got both a tweet and DM back from Ucana422 (that was his UN back then) within seconds containing a snipe and a screenshot of Greystone422 attacking me.
So no I am not confused on who attacked me. -
You got attacked by PUMA members even though they're in your spyring because that's how they stat-boost; they hit each other back and forth in a systematic fashion. If you think that's cheesy and unsportsmanlike, perhaps you should tell them so. :) -
I wasn't attacked by PUMA members, I was attacked by just one PUMA member who happened to be in my spyring and I confronted him about it, that's all. It's just the reaction I got back through DM as well as a normal tweet that made me frown. But alas I'm over it, I removed said person from my account and moved on to happier places. -
Inappropriate?How about greg_fu and greg_fu_spy???
greg_fu tried to assassinate you.
greg_fu attempted an assassination plot on your spy ring, but the plot was unsuccessful. You gained assets totaling £233

Most clans, or friends, will sit in a Tinychat (tinychat.com) or their own clan chat room and coordinate their attacks. -
Inappropriate?brntbeer - of course you would defend them. You are puma. We expect nothing less from someone who has a direct conflict of interest and is in no way influenced by them. I am so upset about you guys playing and reporting back anything complained about here that I am ready to quit.
Funny... when I went on the public timeline about the compromised game... I was attacked by puma... now why would that happen??? Come on tell me why.
I’m Extremely angry.

First and foremost I'm here to represent the company i work for. If someone is cheating (I don't give a shit what clan, how popular etc) I'll usually not hesitate to just drop the ban hammer on them.
The reason i said that these two accounts were probably not the same person is because PUMA is one of the only clans i've noticed (and yes, i talk to people in "zombie" so i'm not skewed) that direct attacks all day and even change their own usernames to appear to be similar to each other. But I'll look into this further today and get back to you in a timely manner. -
Inappropriate?I suggest we put a whiners column on the leaderboard.
Thanks for your consideration.
I’m not impressed by whiners
-
I suggest we implement full clan support for the game, and add a stat indicating how many kills/attacks are made to people within the same clan. -
hahahahahahahahahahaha -
If we put a whiner column on the leaderboard, @fpiraz will be ranked #1. That would be a bad publicity for PUMA. -
Inappropriate?Brent, I have a question.
How can you be so sure two people are not the same, yet you are unable to confirm for *me* publicly that an account I was accused of being is not me?
You are adamant that the above two people are not one and the same. How can you be sure? And if you have a way of being so sure, I would greatly appreciate it if you would use those same tools to confirm that *I* am not that alternate ID I was accused of being. -
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about Pink, I actually enjoyed myself this entire weekend instead of answering emails, so no, i didn't get the chance to defend you. -
Inappropriate?So there's a problem here.
People are asking to prove a negative, mainly prove that the person behind ucana422 and ucana422___ are not different people. This is a daunting task over the internet, I mean give me a test to prove this and I can find a way around it.
This is where judgment comes into play, being hit by multiple accounts in quick succession is collusion, there's no doubt about that. The problem is when two or more of those accounts come from the same person, that violates the TOS. I mean, if you read the working TOS, simply having your two account attack one another, transfer funds, or even follow one another is grounds for banning.
What I'd expect is this, accounts have an IP address which the server knows. If multiple accounts are linked to the same IP, then they need to be watched for collusion. Corporate IP address (such as proxies) look for the IP as it changes over time. If one person is playing with two accounts, their IPs will match more often than not. If so, it's time for a tiny chat with both accounts and an admin. Failure to join the chat results in ban, and the admin can have a reasonable chance of sorting out if there's just 1 person typing or two. -
and what if such a person asks one of his buddies to join the chat to proof that he doesn't have a double account? =P -
Inappropriate?This problem has, for the most part been fixed. The issue with ucana has been solved, with the "don"s and so on.
Further accusations of cheaters can be directed at brent@playspymaster.com and i will take a look into those account activities. Thanks for your continue patients and reporting on the matter =)
