    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.

    @HaoleDave

    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]

    Please re-read what I wrote. Let me clarify.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    ADBjester replied to the topic Losing feathers after hangs in the forum Angry Birds 2 Forum 5 years, 3 months ago

    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.

    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]
