I *finally* saw someone rolled back to one star. I was rolled back by 400+ stars myself, but this still left me in first place.

I have my suspicions as to what happened, and it isn’t “cheating” so much as exploiting bugs.

Yesterday, the player in question RACED past me by hundreds, so I did what I normally do — I started throwing my banked tickets at it and played many, many rounds.

After a few rounds I noticed that when I’d choose three spells (not the most powerful two), my “spell count” would not go down the next time. It was as if I had an unlimited supply of spells. (Sometimes, it would deduct ONE, but not the other two, etc).

I suspect that the player that was demoted to 1 star achieved *all* of his stars that way, resulting in his demotion, and that I was docked those stars I earned last night but left with the stars from Saturday and Sunday where my spells were deducted.

I’d say this isn’t cheating so much as taking advantage of a bug… but the answer is for Rovio to fix the bug, rather than to spend time chasing down those exploiting it.
