It's a shame it's so easy to cheat or give yourself the upper hand. I have played severals with groups of people that join together game after game and people who create multiple accounts under different emails (an easy way to avoid the red nose.)
They need to come up with a more random way to join games. Like perhaps open two games at once and randomly put them in a game. It might take a bit longer but it would hinder some of the cheating and unfairness. Thoughts?

im not sure what you could do, it isnt fun to cheat so i dont know why people do this
I know what you mean, I blogged about this and when the cheaters in question found out about it they downvoted my blog, and laughed about it in the room, egging me to comment publicly so that they could downvote me and have me be the next nominated.
I think the random assignment to games would be most fair. While we have had a few recent instances of the 'hyena gameplay', I'm not sure that it is fair to regulate who can play with whom.
From what i've heard, there have been a few reports to randomize, but i don't knwo what will happen. I saw in the game anarcticsin and i were in there were some small measures taken, but that could have been a glitch.
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I fully agree with you and some measures are on development right now. We are now trying to decide what is best way to do it. The random assignment is a great solution, although initially it'll delay the start of the game, that's why we are also experimenting with some other approaches i.e. Not same game finalists can enroll in next game again, etc.
Yeah it's more fair if everyone plays with randoms, but it's also fun to play with someone you are friends with too. Maybe if they had a friends vs. friends, randoms vs. randoms and if you really wanted to try to beat the friends randoms vs. friends.
randomize, could you check to see if there are people in the game i'm currently playing in to see if 2 or more people are logging on from the same network/IP address. Because there's a post in Reyem91's blog that suggests he was creating duplicate accounts.

A duplicate identity already playing means that someone else using or who has used your computer or network is already in that game :) Sent by Richpaca, on October 8, 2008
