Is candy Royale real people or bots?

ChompaStompa

I've been wondering this for a while. My views are out of 100 people, there are times I finish 7 levels in 10 minutes and other times I'll stop and go back 12 hours later and complete it. No matter what, all other players have finished competed/completed 7 levels simultaneously. Furthermore, if the other 99 players weren't recorded, that would mean at some point I'd have to wait and see what my share of the jackpot would be.

This leaves me to believe that either the 99 other players are bots at random OR I'm playing against recordings of other players. Either way there's no way this is live AND I should know what my potential share of the jackpot is from step 1. This way I can know whether or not it's worth an extra 10 bars for a few moves if the pot is going to be large.

Yo ho ho, Stompa! 😊

I was wondering the same thing for a while and asked fellow players 3 months ago the following questions here:

1. Why don't we get the reward in 24 hours or after last participant is done, whatever comes first?

2. Does it matter whether I do those 7 levels as quickly as possible or should I take my time?

3. Does it matter when you start/join the competition?

As discussion went on, I came to the conclusion that:

It indeed seems to be the same as Episode Race but:

- instead of 4, it finds 99 other people's records;

- instead of 15, it takes only 7 levels into consideration;

- there could be multiple winners as long as they didn't lose their winning streak, therefore clearing speed is irrelevant.

They just gotta make the description clearer. For example 'You'll start the challenge with 99 recordings of players on your level who have played already.'

One thing remained unclear but I guess we'll never know:

So yeah, it raises the question whether the 99 recordings were totally randomly selected or the algorithm already knew how many qualified for the reward.

This said and in light of your suggestion, it's clear that the outcome is pre-determined. However, there's no way for you to know how much you could get, as it doesn't make sense. Yes, it's in our interest to know but it's against common sense if we knew in advance.

Have fun! 😋
