asmith@alicesmith1234Prf1001, Thanks for your post… I’d be excited to join, however, I’m having a hard time finding the one that specifically talking about. If you could provide a link for this group, I’d appreciate it. When I did a search for “Angry Birds Friends Group” a gob and a bunch came up on a list.
asmith@alicesmith1234Dixi, Never mind… I think I found the right ‘Makin Bakin’.
asmith@alicesmith1234Dixi, you wrote: “Find Makin Bakin” Thanks for your post… it does sound like a lot more fun. That said, I tried to find ‘Makin Bakin’ and there were several to choose from. What does the picture look like so I’ve got some idea which one it is? Thanks
asmith@alicesmith1234” That’s all there is to it. It may make some people mad, but cheating is the only way which I in particular will continue playing the game.”
I wish all you cheaters would go cheat away all together in the same place because it’s not fair when people are not on the same playing field. Cheaters are just wrecking the game for honest players trying to compete. Sheesh, what kind of satisfaction can one get from cheating… that’s not winning honestly. What a looser!
asmith@alicesmith1234” You may stay the same, or be promoted.”
LOL, you forgot to add, ‘demoted’. Twice now I’ve been bumped from the Diamond league back to the gold league. I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even care anymore. I’ll play at the beginning of the week and be at the top. If I forget to check back and play at the end of the week, I find that I’ll be rock bottom and they take points away from you so you end up bumped down a league. Anyway, it would be refreshing to be able to always play with legit players. When I spot the cheaters, I don’t even feel like competing at that point as I figure what’s the use.
asmith@alicesmith1234I’ve thought about that, too. However, there really are hacks that are advertising their cheats for the AB cheaters. Some of these scores are over the top and not even remotely realistic. The hacks are advertising ways of having unlimited uses of PUs. Can you imagine the scores you could get if you had unlimited uses of the shaker bird in just one game?
asmith@alicesmith1234“To stop the scammers they are setting the weeks attainable scores, so that anyone exceeding them is put on the cheaters list! ”
Marcelle, Thanks for explaining what that meant. Gotta say, I would have hoped for them to come up with a better method of kicking off cheaters. Since they’re the ones that made the game, I would have thought they’d know what could be the highest possible score on each game.
asmith@alicesmith1234“it’s even worse with these league scores…they are driving formerly rational players craaaazy…”
Been there, done that! I didn’t realize it until a couple of weeks back, but I’m a broke person and started to spend way more than I could afford. That’s why I’m trying to stay away during the middle of the week. Last night, I played for a little while but forced myself to not buy any power ups and just played without but then I didn’t break any of my previous scores, either.
asmith@alicesmith1234“I’ve suspected that the top scores were bogus for quite a while. I also wonder, like many, if the high scores aren’t just artificial, a way for rovio to generate money by making players strive to reach those scores.”
That’s a thought…
asmith@alicesmith1234“I dropped down to 18th place in the gold…in
some of the tourney levels, I’ve cleared EVERY pig, rock, ice, stone,
etc sometimes without using every bird and there are 10 people ahead of
me with scores thousands higher…I don’t get that…”Spike, I’ve had the same thing happen to me at times. Depending on the game, I’ve come to the conclusion that they either got it all with one bird, or no bird using the quake. Some of those scores appeared totally unrealistic.
asmith@alicesmith1234MJ, I’m in the gold league and a Victoria is in first place with a score of 910,790. With my score I’m dropping like a speeding rock into a canyon. Yesterday, I was in 15th place and today I now see I’m in 23rd place with a score of 836,750. I might play some more with it come Sunday, but I’ve had it with buying coins so I’m trying to stay away from the game. If things aren’t being played fair, why bother.
asmith@alicesmith1234Marcelle, Thanks for replying… I’ll be honest, I don’t trust that what’s being explained by Rovio is true. I can see a big advantage to either FB or Rovio, (whichever one is on the receiving end of the money) to allow cheating to go on. The harder honest people try to compete, the more money they make on coins.
Say, I don’t understand something that you said they wrote you…
“They said the week I shot from 1st in gold league to 23rd in a nano second, was because they’d accidentally set the scores too low for the week.”
What does that mean that they set the scores too low????
asmith@alicesmith1234Spike, I’m starting to wonder if this whole tournament is a fraud.
asmith@alicesmith1234“I’m in gold league this week…16th place…the first place player right now is Hospi with 929750.wouldn’t it be a trip if NONE of the other players in our individual leagues weren’t even real, just randomly generated names with random scores?”
Spike, I am so glad you posted… you and I are thinking along the same line. Thanks to what you posted, I KNOW, something really fishy is going on. I’m in the Gold this week and first place is a Victoria with a 910,790 score. That DOES NOT match your first place of a name or score!
Are you Radoslaw because that’s what mine shows as 16th place? I’m just ahead of you in 15th place and my name is Alice.
I really am wondering if Rovio or FB are playing us all for fools and we’re all just looking at different screens with the random names and scores in order to get us to pay to play????? Something is really starting to smell with this whole thing.
asmith@alicesmith1234Dixi, “I tried to find Mr. Bird on FB today, no luck”
How do you even do a search for other players on FB? Only their first name is shown on the players pic. Honestly, I’m not too sharp when it comes to making my way around FB… generally I muddle around.
asmith@alicesmith1234Dixi, thanks for the update about Rovio’s response to you. You’re right… they need to be banned.
Spike, I’m really wondering if each of us is even seeing the same tournament each week even though we might be in the same league. What league are you in this week? I’m back in Gold. It would be nice to compare the 1st place score number as the week progresses. Right now 1st place is 910,790 and the pick is 3 blue birds. Re you not recognizing names… I hadn’t connected that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the cheaters have multiple names.
asmith@alicesmith1234“Had #1 spot briefly then 4 new names popped up and BLAMO Back to 28th”
Yea, that’s how I felt last week.
asmith@alicesmith1234“So far the cheaters have not struck I dont think. Top score is reasonable.”
So far, so good. I don’t think they’ve hit the Silver league, either. All of the scores are normal at this point and we’re all really close.
asmith@alicesmith1234” I don’t see myself breaking the top 20 this week”
I’ve got a hunch about something. Judging from the comments and from what I’ve seen, I’m wondering if we’re all looking at different groups even though we might be talking about the same league. Last week I was in the Gold, but I’ve been kicked back to the Silver league for this week. It would be nice if someone posted in the gold what is the current top score so you could compare it with what you’re looking at when you play. If I make it into the Gold this weekend and you’re still in the Gold, maybe next week we can compare what you see as 1st place score number and what I’m seeing. So far, I’m still in 2nd place, but who knows, by Sunday night I may be dead last and end up in the Bronze league. FWIW, in all but I think, one, the nesters tournament examples all have slightly higher scores than I’ve got.
asmith@alicesmith1234” how do said “impossibly high” scores compare to the high scores recorded here in the nest? Users here are very good at giving some insights into the methods used to reach their scores”
My scores are usually somewhere close to the scores of the examples on the power up nest examples posted each week. Sometimes those people that are cheating score several thousand more. Until just a few days ago, I couldn’t figure out how this would be possible, and mentioned it. In a response, but in another thread, Dixi posted, “Google angry birds friends hack tool” and I was shocked at the results. These hacks BRAG about it. There’s no sport in what they’re doing. I’m really wondering if Rovio is allowing them to continue because the honest players keep buying coins.
asmith@alicesmith1234Mudcat, thanks for that bit of info. At least now I understand how I lost points. So far, in this weeks tournament, I’m in first place, but I don’t think any cheaters have invaded the list. It looks like I’m again playing with a full load of players and we all aren’t that far apart in score numbers. My guess is that when the cheaters invade, the numbers will all change. Dixi, you’re right, if they do things like this, people would end up demoted clear back to wood.
asmith@alicesmith1234Agree!
asmith@alicesmith1234“I was annoyed to find, accidentally, a trhread where ABF’s purists were calling PU users cheats, mixing us up with hacks. That’s how I found my wy here.”
Good grief! Things are complicated enough without adding unnecessary and invalid complaints. No, people using PUs are not cheating. Those are available to everyone to use as they choose. FWIW, sometimes I don’t need PUs and in even some cases, they didn’t help but hurt my score, but that’s all playing the game and figuring out the best way of winning the game. Perhaps they’re just unaware, like I was, as to how the cheating was being done. It would be silly to consider it a fair game if all weren’t allowed to use legitimate powerups. That said, I would honor a non power up contest if ALL were not using powerups, but to call a legitimate method of using powerups as cheating is just plain silly in this contest, especially, considering the cheaters that we are up against.
asmith@alicesmith1234More weirdness to report. Last week I was in the Gold league, with 545 points. Just now I went to play and see they kicked me back to the Silver and knocked me down to 497 points????? How in the world did I loose points over the weekend? Something is really off about this whole thing.
asmith@alicesmith1234“I’m as mad as you are at the discovery – you can’t tell me we are the only two to find the sites!?”
I’m not as mad as I am disappointed. Truly did love the challenge when I thought it was real. Gotta be honest, if I hadn’t been a reader of Angry Bird’s Nest, I probably wouldn’t have caught on to the cheating. I’d noticed a short while back that it was posted a few times. When I first read it I just couldn’t understand how it would be possible. If it hadn’t been for you telling me what exactly to search for, I doubt if I would have ever come across what I read that disgusted and shocked me. Has anyone posted anything about this cheating on the Angry Birds Friends FB page?
