The Winter event

DeletedUser114563

Are you actually allowed to record the shuffle and then cheat by playing it back real slow to see where the big prizes are hidden?

You record the shuffle and then play the recording real slow. Works all the time

Okay, guys. Can we not turn this in to a flame thread? Please? Thanks.

Recording the screen on the Winter event isn't against the rules, no, for a couple of reasons:

  • You're not really defrauding anyone. The Winter Event doesn't (or didnt) have a group based element to it. The prizes on the board are your prizes. Comparatively, the prizes on, say, The Summer event are shared
  • If someone does record the screen, and play it back to reveal the prizes, the only person they're really cheating is themselves of the fun of the event.
  • There is literally no way we could prove/disprove someone did this

Additionally, there isn't an honesty rule. You can find the rules here.

I hope this answers the topic of this thread.

So what you saying, you are allowed to cheat.
What fun is there in cheating ?
Only dishonest people cheat.

No there isn't one, the honesty rule is my rule, I live by it.

Well, no, I'm saying you can't break our ingame rules whilst playing our game. Breaking our rules is defined as cheating in the context of our game. Not breaking our rules in our game isn't.

it's actually a waste of time recording the shuffle, again it is just for show

the displayed prizes that then get hidden by the wrapped presents are not what you get when you click on them, that info is held on the server
i tried it out of curiosity a couple of years ago

once again the programming is simpler and more secure for the client to send "clicked on present X" to the server, which then updates the database and sends back "display this"

Can you please rephrase that so I can understand. I don't understand anything you said above except "Well, no,

Can you perhaps be a little specific on what you think is unclear?

Good to know, I haven't actually ever tested recording the screen but assumed others had. Doesn't change that if it were an effective method, it'd still not be against the rules :)

@cfpedro if someone were to use a bug continuously to game the system and change a result that was meant to be random, that would be cheating. If they keep the game intact and simply work out the result with the info provided then it's not cheating. (as long as whatever method used still falls within game rules)

  • There is literally no way we could prove/disprove someone did this
winning 50 times in a row; double, daily special, shuffle
would be enough prove for me

. If they keep the game intact and simply work out the result with the info provided then it's not cheating.
can you tell that Casinos which would throw you out if you record infos to beat the game

for them it is clear cheating

and the winter event is also only a luck based casino


btw from the game rules
- You may not use programs that ... provide an unfair advantage.
knowing the results of the shuffle other don't know is a clear unfair advantage for me

Post from Agent327: You record the shuffle and then play the recording real slow. Works all the time.
Agent was pretty much sarcastic.
Same as with Summer Event, in Winter event, shuffling is just visual effect. Even if you record the shuffling and play it back slowly to see which prize finished where, you will see that you actually won't win the prize you thought will be there.

So stopping the wheel at a certain spot and not sharing it is honest?

So stopping the summer wheel on the exact spot you want is cheating?

Same as with the Summer Event that means Pedro will be able to pick the right prize all the time.

Are you nuts or something, sharing it with you ?
Stop going off the topic, here is the Winter Event and why you cheat and not the Summer Event
and why I don't cheat.

I am sharing with you how you can win with the winter event. I am reaching out with an olive branch. Guess that signature of yours does not mean anything. You are absolutely negative and bickering, even if I give you some valuable info.
