Only two sets of people so far have been marked as playing and winning too much with each other, and as a result can't sit with each other for the rest of the month:

at 3:56 PM, Wednesday February 6, 2008 EST I just pointed out it was an easy way to get around it (and it turns out leek and crew evidently used this trick.)
As I wasn't really playing with you anymore, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. |

at 4:06 PM, Wednesday February 6, 2008 EST I'll also mention that if it isn't just a pair, but instead a group (no, that's not the word I'm looking for... What do you call a conspiratorial group of plotters?) then this won't pick it up either... Good thing we don't have any of those hanging around.
Seriously run it on June or July and see what turns up. |

at 6:26 PM, Wednesday February 6, 2008 EST The goal isn't to work AROUND the system but to work THE system. This is what top players of all games do, learn the game and master to be able to massage the game and other players to there will.
A comment on multiplayer online gaming in general not kdice specific, but it does apply to kidce as well: There always seems to be hate for the "1337" players that find way to constantly win at games no matter how the rules change because they found some inate understanding of how the game and its mechanics work as well as how the average player will respond to certain situations. This type of behavior always seems to be a point of contention with "lesser" players until they figure out how to work THE system for themselves. Ryans attempt here to run some numbers and punish significant statistical outliers will have a greater impact then most people will realize. Only a few people have ever put the effort it takes to beat the algorithms and most of those people that everyone thinks PGA constantly will end up just being more cautious with how they treat friends. |

at 4:55 AM, Thursday February 7, 2008 EST if we report potential PGA's here, can u check them out ryan?
if yes please check this... nada10 & tokei all players had flagged and nada kept attacking everyone but the only non flagger (who was also the weakest) nada was too strong for anyone to do anything about it and tokei was locked away and therefore unattackable (woot, love words that dont exist...i think) blatent PGA imo |
