    Exclamation Cheating player warning - pathetic really.

    Just had a game against an elemental deck owned by a player named Shurma. I was quite surprised when he got to the table with almost 60 cards but good luck to him...

    Unfortunately he seems to have found some way to get around the 'max 4 cards of any type' rule.

    I only started counting his Spark cards once he had 5 Sparks each at 5/5 on the table against me.

    I managed to chip them down to two with my allies...

    On his turn, the Spark count went up to 4 again...

    He never recycled his deck - just used millions of Bad Santas (definitely >4) to cycle through his huge supply of cards.

    I really don't mind losing at all - I am just annoyed this is possible and depressed for poor little Shurma sitting there going 'YESSS!' at his screen when he beats people in a free online game by cheating.

    You sir, are an ass.

    Geez, that's just sad. Just sad really. It's sad that a poor noob had to be reduced to hacking the source code to win games. Sad. Hope Kyle can fix this problem. If they ever find that guy, he shouldn't be allowed to play SE again. Sad. And a tip for your deck: minus Dirk. Anyway, sad.

    OMG! Is this for real?

    Even I encountered bugs myself where I encounter the QUIT countdown button just about the time that I am about to beat 200-300 range players... happened 8+ times and there's no way I could believe That's a coincidence... I mean right when Im about to WIN? Common... its an abuse and we know it..

    I've reported every instance of a sudden DEFEAT with no apparent sync error being the cause and everything acting completely normal. In every case, I am: 1) Obviously winning or about to win the game, and 2) The DEFEAT appears during MY turn, out of the blue. I've wondered if it was a hack/exploit by the other player, but it can sometimes be hard to judge these things. Funny though, that the sudden DEFEAT out of the blue never, ever, EVER happens when I'm losing the game or the game outcome is still uncertain. And this is all in 1.25 where Kyle started encrypting the data packets between client and server. So either some people have found a different way to spoof the server, or else Kyle's encryption has already been broken.

    And you guys who run into weird stuff like this: you really need to report each and every instance, including the two players named in the match (yourself and the other guy) AND ALSO the time that the match occurred. To make it easier for Kyle to find and review the server log, try to specify the time in GMT.

    Only if Kyle can see the data can he figure out ways to correct each new spoof/exploit and ban the offending players.

    Kyle must find quickly who Shurma is, and give him a job, he must spend long boring days to do that hacking.

    This is just funny to see!
