That's why many higher pointed players play anonymous

Damn, too slow >.<

you're right, and this has been a problem in the past. In order to correct it though, Kestas (the creator of the site) added a feature allowing for completely anonymous games to be played, so that way no one knows who anyone else is.

wow I was way too slow.

While it may be anonymous, I'll give you a hint - I will be the one killing you ;)

I also Say that , But Once a Pro guy ( 4000 , but idk if thats pro ) , He told me '' A lot of anonymous games , are enter for 2 or more guys who are friends and help each other ''

So after he told me that , I decide to post this :)

I am a begginer , thats why I am putting my insishg :)

You can have cheating at any level. There isn't alot of it, but when it happens, people are very vocal, which leads to people thinking there is more of it than there actually is. We do have site moderators who have tools at there disposal to try to find people who are cheating, or playing more than one country.

id say i agree with your 'top dog' syndrome or whats commonly referred to as tall poppy but overall, i disagree. just because someone has a ton of points going into a game doesnt mean that they are ganged up on. sure its likely more common but i have to say that a highly skilled player will have the ability to use a cross between diplomacy and good moves to keep himself afloat.

if someone has a high ghost rating or a lot of points then they should have the ability to reduce the effects of being ganged up on in many cases.

i personally dont play anon games since i enjoy knowing who im playing with. you learn someones style and how they think and that can be a real advantage.

out of curiosity, do you know who the players you were playing against in an anonymous game are once the game is finished? is it revealed to you?

yup

I thought than the guy with the higher victory rate, finds allies more easily than the other.

there is a lot of truth to the tall poppy syndrome where smaller fish work to take down the bigger fish first because the theory behind this is that it increases their odds of winning when hes gone.

diplomacy chnges this syndrome since talk and cooperation among players has such a huge impact on gameplay and turnout. usually this can trump being the big fish but not always.
