From Ryan:
If you team up against other players without them knowing it is a very unfair way to play and is therefore cheating. If you can't play any other way its kinda sad. I really believe in the game and PGA is not part of it. There are a bunch of guys that think it's discussion worthly whether this is a valid way to play and it's absolutely not. I've told them this but they get off on their own special aim group thinking they're the "titans of kdice" when really they have no credibility. If players here think this is a valid way to play please post here so I can remove your account so the rest of us can play the real game.... and trophies gained from this invalid play should be removed too. Kdice is a great game and I believe there are great players out there that don't need to resort to these cheap tricks. I will move the game towards this pure kdice style as much as i can. For now I'll just remove people who chose otherwise. Source: http://kdice.com/discussion/topics/41070938 |

at 9:58 AM, Thursday December 23, 2010 EST I'm not sure how much data you collect from each game, but if you log each attack in the database and/or analyze it (for example for luck,) then you could add some statistics such as
statistical correlation as to who wins games with who statistical correlation as to who attacks who's areas in each game, by player, across games. If both of the above metrics test for a positive correlation, this would not necessarily prove anything, but it could allow you to give greater scrutiny to such cases. Or if there is a statistically certain correlation, then this could also function as a score modifier (e.g. a player who shows up on a 500 table with 6 pgas who gets immediately wiped out would not be penalized, etc.) |

at 10:06 AM, Thursday December 23, 2010 EST To my previous post;
You could also have a meter for each color, showing the correlation and number of trials for each , so this would be public knowledge to all players (for example; teal and green have played together in 497 games, and have a correlation of .88, etc.) |

at 10:30 AM, Thursday December 23, 2010 EST PGA will never be regulated until the mods get payed. There is too much gray area and it takes too much time to make this kind of analysis for people who work for free/fun. Just look at it as part of the game. There is a 48% chance you win an 8v8 and a 5% chance you run into a PGA that affects the outcome of the game.

at 12:41 PM, Thursday December 23, 2010 EST The statistical analysis involved is actually quite simple as long as the data is being collected. The algorithms required for, say, clicking on the map are more complex.
And it would never be able to definitively signal intent, rather it would allow people a choice as to which types of games they would join. For example: 1.) If I had a team of 3 people I play with, we could all join a game which already had 3 people in it which play together 2.) If I was playing by myself, I would be able to choose a game where people didn't know each other. |
