Level 2
Player youmi23 has 10168 Weekly Contest points after just 2 days, and shows 15373 Levels Won in the past 7 days. How do you compete against that?!
Sounds like a lot of cheating to me! I can't even pass 3 levels in a row.
Do King ever read these are do we just have to put up with it? No chance of getting the Podium Prize now, have to start from scratch again, if we're playing against bots / cheats. What a pointless game, I was enjoying it until now.
I believe that King know about the recurring problem of nonsense scores in the weekly contest but they seem not be able to do anything about this. King don't actually read your posts here as this is a forum for players, to try to help each other and give advice. Nonsense scores do get reported here quite often and my best advice would be to ignore this and hopefully the same player won't keep showing up in your game next week. However if you want to report this then contact Player Support. You can do this here and choose the bottom option to report abuse/cheating.
Is the person actually in your Friends list? For me, with the Contest board, the pattern is always all contestants except 1 are in my list.
If they are in your Friends list, simple solution: delete them.
Thanks, but no, I don't have any friends (argh!), all just random people with normal looking scores except for this one person/bot.
Thank-you Christine, I appreciate your comprehensive reply. I'll try sending them a report just in case they do delete bots or whatever this is.
No one in your Friends list? :o
Well, there ya go! Start adding some friends (even if through the 'suggestion' tool—what I mainly use), and soon you'll have those people in your Contest board instead of the randos.
Oh wow, I didn't know that! Thanks so much!
UPDATE: This same person Youmi23 has appeared in my Weekly Contest THREE weeks in a row now. They do something like normal wins in the first day (say, 150), then when I overtake that, they instantly go up to 5000 or so. The problem is NOT that they are my "friend" and it's not that I "have no friends". This is supposed to be random allocation where "friends" aren't a thing, it's not, this same non-person-bot is in my Weekly Contest EVERY week, I can never ever win.
