The Main Rule
One BGA account = One person
Playing from the same IP
This is authorized to play at the same table from the same IP (internet address).
The warning message "this player plays from the same internet address as another player" is a simple warning. It is a useful warning, because the other players have the right to know that there are players at their table that are able to discuss out of game.
If you want to play from the same internet address as another person:
- The best option is not to play at the same table, or play at a table where you know everyone.
- If you play with strangers, make them comfortable with the fact you are 2 (or more) different people: don't discuss about the game outside the chatroom, don't collaborate (or do kingmaking) with your partner.
When some of your opponents are playing from the same IP:
- You may politely refuse to play with them.
- You should be vigilant and check that they are not collaborating during the game.
- You don't have to report them until they are doing a concrete kingmaking action. If you report some players saying that "they are playing from the same IP" without any kingmaking proof, we will close your report.
Boosting your ELO by playing against yourself
This is the most stupid and useless thing to do on BGA.
Why? Because this is very easy to detect, and because the penalty is:
- all your secondary account are removed.
- your primary account is reset to 1500 ELO for all games.
Why this is so easy to detect:
- When you start having a very good ELO, all other good players will look at you and your game history. In the game history, this is really easy to see how you manage to have a good ELO.
- In BGA, every game can be replayed. So if a game is suspect, anyone can replay it and check if this is a real game or a fake game.
- In addition to this, we are using some automatic methods and some technical information that allow us to check if "one person = one account".
- Consequently, it happens that some players manage to do ELO boosting, but at the end they are all detected and reset to 1500. This is why this is a waste of time for everyone, and this is why this is useless.
If you have a lot of time to spend, please try to get better at this game and please do not try to cheat.
中文机器翻译: 主要规则 一个BGA帐户=一个人 从同一个IP玩 这是授权在同一IP同一桌玩(网络地址)。 警告消息“这个球员在相同的网络地址,另一名球员”是一个简单的警告。这是一个有用的警告,因为其他球员有权知道有球员在他们的桌子,可以讨论的游戏。 如果你想玩从相同的网络地址和另一个人: 最好的选择是不在同一张桌子上玩,或者玩的一张桌子上,每个人你都认识。 如果你玩的陌生人,让他们舒适的事实,你是2个(或更多)不同的人:不讨论在聊天室的游戏,不合作(或做kingmaking)与您的合作伙伴。 当你的对手是来自同一个IP玩: 你可以礼貌地拒绝和他们一起玩。 你要提高警惕,检查他们不合作的游戏中。 你不需要报告他们直到他们做一个混凝土kingmaking行动。如果你的报告有些球员说,“他们是在同一IP”没有任何kingmaking证明,我们将关闭你的报告。 在对自己提高你的ELO 这是最愚蠢和无用的东西做BGA。 为什么?因为这是很容易识别,因为刑罚: 你所有的次级帐户被删除。 您的主帐户被重置到1500以下所有游戏。 这是为什么那么容易察觉: 当你开始有一个很好的系统,好的其他队员都会看着你和你的游戏史。在游戏的历史,这是很容易看到你如何有一个好的ELO。 在BGA,每场比赛可以重播。所以如果一个游戏是怀疑,任何人都可以回放并检查,如果这是一个真正的游戏或一个假游戏。 此外,我们使用一些自动的方法和一些技术信息,让我们看看“一个人就是一个帐户”。 因此,它发生,有些球员做到ELO提升,但最后他们都发现和重置为1500。这就是为什么这是浪费大家的时间,这就是为什么这是无用的。 如果你有很多时间,请尝试在这方面做得更好的游戏,请不要试图欺骗。
