@nastyteddy welcome to the forums.

I would agree with you that people that use multiple PUs/SPs aren’t really cheaters, they are just playing the game. It’s been discussed a number of times on here that many of us wish that PUs and multiple SPs were removed from multiplayer but that wouldn’t be in Rovio’s best interest as some people are willing to pay real money to use those abilities.

I see at as this…currently I have 3000 gems in my littl birdie bank…if I wanted to I could simply start using all of those on SPs (more specifically Senna’s SP) in every race. If I were to use say 5 SPs in every race I pretty clearly could win every single race I was in. 3000/(5*3)=200 races in a row that I could do this on repeatably. Now some of those races would end up being “saved” by Rovio and used in a certain number of races that you or anyone else races against me in. The best you or any of your teammates could do without using likely the same number of SPs or more on a race would be finishing 2nd thus greatly diminishing your teams chances of getting any golden eggs. Keep in mind that once Rovio “saves” a racer’s ghost it tends to keep that for around a month if not longer so you would constantly be having to deal with my multiple SPs in races for an extended period of time. Now imagine if not just I but if all of my teammates (most of which are on this forum and could easily be communicated with) decided to make a pact together to use all of our gems exclusively for this purpose, again of 5+ SPs a race and how that would affect the teams that raced against us. Inevitably you would likely constantly be facing at least one of me or my teammates using many SPs a race. One of two things would then probably happen, you have to just deal with it basically forever when you race against us or you would have to also start using 5+ SPs (and your gems) just to have a chance at winning in which case we could then start using say 8+ SPs a race to counter you and on and on until essentially all of us need to use SPs from start to finish just to have a chance at winning.

I don’t want to see that happen and I’m sure you don’t want to see that happen but I’m also pretty sure Rovio would love to see that happen and I’m sure that it is the reason why they still allow SPs/PUs in multiplayer in hopes of something like this happening and people resorting to spending more and more real money on the game.

Moral of the story is we don’t want to see this game devolve into anarchy as it won’t be fun anymore for anyone and is why we have tried to limit our uses of SPs/PUs in multiplayer. I haven’t purposely used PUs or multiple SPs in multiplayer for a long time now (sometimes my dumb thumb will hit the button on accident) and don’t plan on anytime soon but I also can’t blame any of my teammates if they use theirs in frustration or for other reasons (one of our racers sometimes plays with their daughter and lets them choose when to use SPs). I also can’t blame any of my teammates for venting their frustrations on here. I think we are all just looking out for what is best for this truly fun game.

Finally, looks like the VUKS are in cheater hell as they are no longer on the leaderboard anymore. So enjoy not having to deal with them while it lasts. :)

GO FAST GO!!!
