How to unfriend strangers, not friends, showing up on weekly contest

ALL63

I'm tired of having strangers on the weekly contest that are not Facebook friends that win all the time as they score more levels in 24 hours then most do in the entire week. Its not fun to play against these folks and I just want to play against my friends. None of the posted 'fixes' work as the people do not show up under Friends in my settings. Is there a 'real' way to remove them from showing up??? Thanks.

'Fun' isn't a concept that King understands @ALL63. All King wants you and I to do is to buy things. That is why they place random players in your game. The idea is that you will be encouraged to beat them and hopefully (in their eyes) buy things that will enable you to win the challenges.

Recent changes to the Episode Race and Chocolate Box whereby only the person that comes first receives gold and the first two Boxes only provide timed boosters as a reward is all the proof needed to see that King do not care about the player experience.

Hi and Welcome to the King Community

In most of the events of this game you will find random friends who are not on your friends list but everyone is a player of this game. Since contestants selection is completely random, you cannot remove or skip them because the random process cannot be manually modified.
