This is why:
Global Ranking Score 1698 (#70)

also hrca6666 is probably oraol1's as well, this account was created yesterday and has only played games with hrca6666 and shockingly hrca6666 has won them all. check out the game Super Silva all of them are playing it.

I think we all get the point but.....

http://www.wargear.net/games/view/89294

Watch oraol1 suicide 1 army at a time into neutrals while surrounded by hrca6666 territories that have one army on each.

I'm insulted that he can't even be better at cheating! I'm guessing Tom is away but I think we can safely assume we can say good bye to the lot of them when he returns.

puma, hrca6666, jazavac, lav, ora01 & ora have all been banned and booted from all games.

I'm working on a points recovery system which will give back points to any players who lost as a result of cheating - this will be done by terminating all games where a cheater won and then re-calculating the rankings. 

Dear Tom:

Codeman: http://www.wargear.net/players/info/Codeman
 
and SandyMan: http://www.wargear.net/players/info/SandyMan
 
are one and the same person.  Not only is it blatantly obvious from this game linked above, but both accounts are from Canada, and both were created on the same day.
 
I respectfully request that both accounts be banned, and the result of this game be vacated.
 
Thank you.

You should have read my post #16 in http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1146/Multiple_account_bans

Well, I don't generally read the forums as I am just here to play, but I see this individual is already a known cheater.  Still, I have worked very hard over many, many games to achieve the record I have, and I would like it not ruined by a cheater, so my request kindly stands.

I have a curiosity question. Let's for the sake of argument assume you are correct and they are the same player. Your proof as you stated in the game was a lack of playing that made sense and that they were created on the same day.

Ok, looking at their play history and win ration.... it is roughly a 30 percent 60 percent ratio when they are in the same game. Codeman has been in more games against you than against Sandyman. Based on the results of their "cheating" why would they have a dual account... is it so they can play more than 10 games at once but he finally got sick of having his butt handed to him in antastic by you and decided to gang up?

This led me to believe maybe you were just a sore loser. It is possible that Sandyman is just a poor player and they are friends who joined up at the same time to play each other. 

Then I looked through the history:

I understand people who are driven by rankings to cheat... but I don't understand people who cheat just to cheat.... and this was definitely a bad case of cheating... There are a lot of Sandyman kamakazing armies into neutrals one army at a time. and he surrendered at the end once csecu was booted. 

I wonder if that was just a gang up and beat Csceu, or a I know my friends password and I'm going to use it to kick Csceu's butt, or a dual account.

I guess Tom will decide but if it is a dual account, I continue to not get it when people cheat but without any understandable goal in mind.

End of Babble

Both accounts have been banned (reincarnation of TheManSand / codes4).

Tom has already decided, but here's my two cents on cheating versus buddying-up against someone:  People generally want to win and play to win.  Even after destroying a collective target, buddies will at least *try* to win against each other or whoever else is left on the board. 

Cheaters don't.  It's very clear when cheating parties are acting in concert to ensure just one of the parties win, and as you noted in that game, one of them made an obscene number of sacrificial moves to help the other.  Green never once played to win; every single one of his moves was designed to either break my bonuses and/or remove me as a threat to Purple's bonuses.  As the game went down, a trained monkey could have spotted their cheating.

I actually spotted their cheating before I made a game comment, because, in my perhaps unearned bravado, I actually thought I could beat them (him) 1-against-2 anyway, and I was doing OK for about the first three rounds...  Well, turned out I'm not that good.  Oh well. :-)

No shame in that. I once won a 2v2 tourney game that my partner had been booted. Although it was mostly luck, to this day it is my proudest ToS moment... that and kicking Oak's butt in the last round of a rattler tourney. (For those who don't know a very good player and RL friend who is the mapmaker of the rattler board.) Those were proud moments and everything has been down hill from there!

falker1976 is either a god among men, or he is cheating.  If it turns out that he's not, then this is just a compliment to his ability to COMPLETELY dominate seemingly every single game he plays, save for a few.  Plus, he is already up to #19 and has only been on WarGear for 6-7 months and has played 600+ games... his comments state a "disclaimer" that his son is also on WarGear, and nearly all of the comments on his profile exclaim his ability to dominate.

Again, most of my evidence is anecdotal and circumstantial, but I just don't understand how someone can get through that number of games with that efficiency in such a short time.  If he is not cheating, then  he is the best player I have ever played against on WarGear and will tell everyone to watch out for his deadly efficiency.

..or he has great luck stats.

Tom can confirm but (unfortunately for us all) falker1976 is simply a great player.  He's come to specialize in several particular maps (A&A, Fallout, and CC) and plays tons of lightning games on them, where he beats 99.9% of his opponents in head-2-head situations.

This explains all of your comments above: high global ranking, 600+ games in such a short time, high CP, etc.

I think it's a credit to him for disclosing the father-son relationship since there are some who would want to avoid that.

Wow, amazing stats.  I'm happy with a win ratio just over half his! It's nice to see this quality of player join up I just don't want to play them in to many games.
