Yep, still in a league of my own. Now with a 674 to 0 lead over second place.

I’ve been in since seconds after the 8 pm rollover last night. I watched the tourney end, got my 300 pearls, and played my first match within a minute. I have 310 stars now. Second place has zero.

I wouldn’t take it down to the bird on bird comparison. You play the same ROOMS in a match, but the order of your birds is random. There’s little you can do to overcome the disadvantage of finding yourself with Blue, Terrence and Bomb and a pig “out of reach” that you need a Matilda or Chuck’s range to reach… or finding yourself…[Read more]

@sambeaver “Why i suspect that they are just computer generated virtual opponents? Because their names are different but their avatars repeating again and again.

@mg516 “I’d like to know how to horde tickets, I have to keep spending 3 at a time. I play on my Ipad/Iphone interchangeably and sync the data so I can a couple of stars quite easily, but no where near enough to place the top 3”
You alternate weeks. One week, you play every free entry… and ONLY free entries. You thus spend NO tickets. You d…[Read more]

“If they aren’t rigging the game why is it that every level 3 in the arena I can plan on loosing no matter who well I play!”
Please re-read what I wrote. Let me clarify.
Let’s assume you are level 71, and are in this circumstance:

One last thing to all those who think Rovio is “rigging the game” or changing the difficulty. They aren’t. It is a PHYSICS game, which is why it fascinates me. It is harder some weeks because of which levels and structures are used, nothing more.
Each bird has exactly the same effect week to week as it did. Terrence doesn’t get weaker, blues…[Read more]

@kelshe If they come back as another name, they are starting with Vanilla birds, and it will take MONTHS before they are competitive again…. even if cheating.
@katydid The people aren’t changing. They are changing their screen names (Birdy McBirdface becomes Swoosh Pigsty), and sometimes their icons.

I *finally* saw someone rolled back to one star. I was rolled back by 400+ stars myself (a separate event from the crash described above), 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…[Read more]

Folks, there are not nearly as many cheaters as you might suspect.
Scores that jump 200 in an hour happen ALL THE TIME, and it is NORMAL. When you look at these things with the eye of a programmer, you realize that, while YOUR star count is real-time to you, updates of your opponents’ star counts is done in batches to minimize inter-player…[Read more]

Note that sometimes, you will face opponents (like me) who have sat out for a week or two…. playing every “free entry” possible, and taking the accompanying extra entry ticket… but no more.
They will also take a treasure chest every 15 minutes, EVERY 15 minutes, 15 hours a day.
Two weeks later, they’ll have 100 free entry tickets, and 50+ of…[Read more]

I’ll post here in mid-September when I get a reply. <sigh>

I might not have noticed it either time, had it not been for the fact that I’d just leveled up birds each time. When you accomplish something like leveling them all up to 13’s, you don’t forget that it’s happened, so when you see a 12 pop back up, you know something’s up.
Pay attention, feather collectors — you might be getting plucked.

I’m playing on iPhone 6s, no wi-fi (over cellular data).
Sometimes, I can’t connect to the arena. It happened just now.

ADBjester replied to the topic Hats and slingshot in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 3 months ago
It is a known bug that your opponent will ALWAYS show the same slingshot as your own in the pairing. You can more reliably “guess” as to his *real* slingshot by the hats… but know that you can “take off” a hat to appear NOT to have a set… at the expense of the multiplier — taking off a hat ONLY reduces the bird in question. The slingshots…[Read more]

I have carefully tracked in Excel what slingshots and hats my opponents have. There is *NO* correlation to match selection. Matches are chosen very specifically to match your level, and to match you and your opponent by starting base level (i.e. sum of all the digits on your bird cards)… and the slings and hats appear to be random after…[Read more]
