Maybe he took my points.

I played last night and have no stats to show for it. BT site shows Bridgeport as reporting out yesterday, but I only show game play from 2/28.

BASTARDS!!!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact he's a double-dipping hack monkey jackass? Why don't these people just stay home and watch watch Cartoon Network, it's more suited to their brain power.

Is this how Gambit will finally lose his reign? Unfair, but ironic.

He is definitely double dipping on Sports TRivia and regular trivia. However, his scores are not that great.

Or maybe he just got back in playing Buzztime and also may have multiple accounts and add it all up into one.

Not Crazy. He is from Madison. They probably equalized the scores so no one would feel bad.

He has been a busy little Badger, had 75 million points on Tuesday and the 98 million on Wed.

His P+ points appear to be back to normal on his player page.

But there may be another issue, his scores in Six and PasTimes last night were way above his norm. 60k+ in Six and 9.5k+ in PT when all his previous games are quite mediocre.

I smell a rat.

I checked his players page and it was 18 million+, looked at something else and went back to the players page and it was 98,436,500 up 500 from the players plus leaders page. Last play date now 3 March.

A little further checking. He was not on the top 1000 list as of last July. His earliest games in the last six months were on January 18.

On Jan 01, 2010, he was in 937th place with 14,700,000 points. On Jan 01, 2011, he was in 113th place with 29,000,000 points. So in 2010, he gained 14,300,000 points. By comparison, Tom at Brus gained 8,567,600.
From Jan 2010 to Jan 2011 only one other person in the top 1000 earned/cheated/combined more points that Eurorom and that was BIG AL at Ticket Sports 3 in Pensacola, FL with 16,152,100.

Seems like a simple case of an inflamation of the buzzoid gland. Happens occasionally. It is curable as long as it occurs in small numbers. The major outbreak of the 90's left many scarred for life. :ugeek:

This account used to belong to an acquaintance of mine, the late Paw. He played at BWW in downtown Madison. I noticed some time ago that someone else had acquired the account and changed the login.

I've sent a message to Buzztime complaining about the blatant cheating. We'll see if they do anything.

I know the neighborhood where his home site is a little bit, but don't recall it.

Like I said in this thead, somebody must've have multiple accounts and add combine huge point totals into one.

Nope, that's not it. For one thing BT will not combine such accounts and have not for the last 10+ years.

Secondly, at one point in the day his account showed 18MM. Later in the day it showed 98MM. Both numbers taken from his player page.

He's gaming and/or hacking the system.

Thats not entirely true, occasionally BT staff will make an exception. In March 2009, RMUTT combined accounts going from 21M to 38M in a day. It was talked about on the old board (If I remember correctly, he chimed in or another player at one of his sites did). He actually had multiple accounts that were never played concurrently, so exceptions are made. I point out this situation, because its generally accepted that RMUTT is a legitimate and recognizable player.
As RANGER pointed out though, his guy likely hacked an account. Hopefully, BT will rectify the issue.

Just for what it's worth, Bo, Buzztime has and does allow people to combine accounts. I know for absolute certain that continued even up to about a year ago.

Don't know where you got the 10+ year thing, but that part is just completely untrue. It was a _regular_ occurrence just a few years back.

Yes, BT will allow people to combine accounts.
However, the three times that I have done it since 1999, BT has wiped out all of the garnered PP points at the new location (except for the first 100K points) and replaced them with the point total from the previous location.
I think that might have been what BO was referring to.

As much as I hate to agree with Dante. He is right on this one. We had one person from this area combine several accounts less than 10 years ago. Buzztime did not take away any of his points. Buzztime's policy has been what Spotes pointed out. But, there seems to be exceptions to that policy.

We all know BT isn't supposed to, but do you really think some joker at BT would agree to combine accounts worth 98MM?
