I think you'll have to give us a better explanation why losing two bonus and crippling your 6 chain at the same time is a good strategy.

Probably and surely a mistake but i would go:

4
561
3

to keep the charmer open even if that rarely happens.

Both require the same amount of 4s, 5s and 6s for snake charmer but I like mine more because it allows you to 4-zone 6s with only two of them and you don't risk a stranded 5 if you get less than three 5s.

Guess Spinst was the one playing as anon with good scores?

Anyway, someone has to say it, it smells fishy.

I AGREE

haha, lets just see how he played it. But a newbie like that scoring something so nutty automatically makes you think of tmi

Score of Spinst still not visible

If I do not win the DC today I am going to very slowly kill a kitten

Spinst setup was fairly horrible, but perfectly timed as those 6s came.

You can't ever accuse a newbie of cheating. Most of their play makes no sense anyway so they can occasionally luck into nutted scores, and good luck pinpointing a "fishy" play that you can put down to tmi and not just cluelessness.

Also, I won my first ever DC.

You could think that, for example, my blocking off 6s in Round 6 shows that I knew there were no more in Rounds 7-8, but no, I was just terrible.

Although I apparently discovered (luckboxed into) the advanced chain setup (with 5s) pretty early on.

I agree with Paul here. We should do our best to welcome new players, we shouldn't accuse them of cheating at the first opportunity.

Yeah i was out of line as usual. I saw that my potential win (and i have the worst "win percentage" ever) was disappearing and i was kind of tilt.

Concerning Paul's comment, i'm not the one who could spot a fishy play. And remember, i didn't not saw the results when i did my post. It was more the fact that at the time, he played a total of 6 games, all of them in DC. Seems weird but i guess not everybody are button clicker like me with 100 games a day when i discovered TC.

Anyway, my bad.

It is a bit strange that Spinst only plays DCs on the account, since it looks like he/she has played some games as Anon too to only score 20k+. That said, looking at the games, I don't see any reason to suspect cheating at this point. Also I don't think Spinst is the one who made those high scores as Anon, since that player had a clear pattern with how they played, one Spinst doesn't seem to have.

200 tourney matches = 1000 tourney games completed, so time for a stat update.

Added game win percentages. Idk what the problem is with those 4-player tourneys, but results in those are significantly worse than in others.

Win-% in both matches and games is at least 50 against everyone.
