Competitive Lockdown

You should definetly do it. Close the sign up in a competition 2-3 days after it has started. People who join right at the end , do not join to win. Those who join to play 1 game and then stop, also do not play to win.

If you want to play competitive then sign up normally like the rest of us.

People join late just to throw games, troll, and cheat. As long as players are allowed to join in a competition 4-5-6 days after it has started right at the end, there wont be any shortage of cheating alts and gamethrowers.

90% of the players of competitive rounds are the same old players. Nothing will change if you lock it 2-3 days after it has started. It would just stop some of the gamethrowers and cheaters to just join with other alts.

It has been 5 days after the start of the competition. It is good time to lock it for new sign ups.

Ok. It can only be implemented if xxerox is banned for the first two - three days of every round

xxerox is slowly becoming my least favorite poster. Zovea and MikeyRu are the only people in his territory.

You should make remake this thread but title it "cheaters don't read pls" so that if you implement the idea none of the cheaters will know to sign their alts up before lockdown.

This is a preventive measure for gamethrowing alts, players who join just for 1 game not knowing how the setup works, then quiting because everyone are too hard on them etc.

weird today i played all my 30 hearts with all my alts and all filled without a problem - sarcasm

Some times games fill, some times they do not. You were just out of luck. if i can play 30 ranked games , so can everyone else.

Woah! How will my 24-month old gamethrow accounts ever get to throw games now that I only have a grace period of 4 days to click the big red button? ...Fùck.

This idea is going to aggravate the games not filling situation



Games are filling. Do not lie. Right now there are 15 filled games..

Ranked games always fill because same people play them over and over again with at least 10 alts.

The more good i show you that locking competitive games 3-4 days after start is usefull, the more you scream against it.

xxerox, a lot of fancy pants players join to play like 2 games a round. and they auto-enter the competition by joining


They do not join to win. If they want, as i said, they can play the same setups as red hearts.

It is not fun if people gamethrow and make other complain and rage. . . People can have fun in read heart games.

What is stoping people to play red heart games just as competitive? The same setups can be played as a red hearts.

Competitive is a Competition. Not a fun time red heart zone.

day 4 is too early. many people play gold hearts just for fun and not for trophy. many people are not active for weeks and come back. if they dont get to play gold heart then

1- gold heart games wont fill

2- they will be mad they dont get to play what they want


this solution may stop gters (they can bypass this by joining early)

we already have a system in place that keeps players from joining the round if they got their 1500 points after the round has started


but this solution is just a cop out solution. it is like you dont wanna hold exhibitions because you are afraid of thiefs stealing everything.

we dont wanna ruin our fun because of gters. there are other solutions to gters. we report them and give them vios and they get suspended after 2 game related vios from the round. there is no need for a competitive lock down. this site is for fun and not for stopping gters.


1: Games will fill without 1-2 players.
2:They won't be mad. How many players played Ranked and then complained that is too complicated and they are never playing ranked again.
3:someone gt, gets a vio, uses an alt with different IP gets a vio. repat 10 times. ??? Profit?

+ we are talking about players who come back after 24 months for just this one game, then dissapear into oblivion. At least we will stop that.


Now the new roles removes those who have recieved 2 violations in the same round.

People just add more alts to throw and the 2 violations are nothing in this case.

If there are set amount of players, then the 2 violations would be effective :)
