Hey,
We get your frustration with players you suspect of cheating. Nobody likes a cheater, and fair play is super important to us here at FlyOrDie.
You mentioned you think maybe 70% of players are using programs. Honestly, that's a huge overestimation. While we can't share exact numbers (it's complicated behind the scenes!), we can tell you for sure that the real number is way, way lower than that. If 70% were cheating, the game would be a mess, and that's just not what we're seeing or allowing.
How We Handle Cheating (Our Rules)
We take cheating seriously, and we've got clear rules for everyone. You can always check them out on the site, but here’s the quick lowdown:
◉ Rule #1: No Cheating, Period. This covers all sorts of unsportsmanlike stuff, messing with your rating, or using programs where they're not allowed. If someone breaks this, points can get reset, or accounts can even get banned.
◉ Rule #2 & #3: Programs in Board Games. This is a bit different. In some board games (like chess, checkers, etc.), using a computer program for moves is actually allowed, BUT you HAVE to say so in your player settings. You can have one human account and one "program" account. We even have a system that detects suspected program use and shows a little icon on that player's profile, so you always know who you're playing against. It's all about transparency!
We're constantly working hard behind the scenes with detection systems and our mod team to catch those who try to bend the rules. It's a never-ending battle in online gaming, but we're dedicated to keeping FlyOrDie fair for everyone who plays straight.
If you spot something super fishy, please keep reporting it through the proper channels. Every report helps us keep the game clean for all honest players.
