Just hit level 200, 31k games played and wp 62.5% ...

Since today playing 9 ball, the red ball is coloured black. So I have two black balls.
I can only identify which one is supposed to be red when it starts blinking when it is red's turn to be potted.
Anyone else has this problem ?

edit : it has resolved itself but it was pretty weird.
Every day a new F*ck up lol.

sorry I'm out the games broken.

I've been managing to sign in ok lately, and I only have the old style mc signins (I don't twit or fb or any of that stuff)

[COOLOCKER]

Anyone else seeing this when trying to log in on PC?

[COOLOCKER]

Panic over. I eventually got on.

[bogus6948]

I've seen that twice CL but eventually got in to see this :


How do things like potting less balls than games you've won get past scrutiny ?

[undiscovad]

Played over 50 of this limited Olympus tournaments and yet to win one, such a waste of my time now. Usually love tournaments, but yeah it's impossible for me in this one. Frustration now just means I log off again.. lol, at this rate moneyclip won't see a cent from me. Last purchase was 4th of July promo, and I have zero desire to spent anything. Lovely business model lol, make your regular spenders stop playing haha.

I checked my League rank and found I had moved one serial up although I didn't play since last I checked and anyway, the player above me was 20 million higher.
So after Ameer's shenanigans I suddenly thought that it was Miniclip busy weeding the bad grass.
And indeed, I checked all the way down and we are only 99 left in my League.
Unless someone cancelled himself but that is less likely.

I think I am going to start grouping these as part of the 'Unicorn league'


Somehow, with less than 3 balls sunk per game (which I *can* actually believe, having watched him shoot), he managed a whopping 21 game WS. He lost during our match, missing easy shots.

We see players using cheto and slamming balls in all over the place. So much so, you are left in no doubt they are chetos. But i think players are using it as well just like normal play. Dont know how many times over these last few weeks ive come up against players who play normally, but somehow manage to pot every ball with insanely difficult shots. Not the indirect type game, but normal. Like shots where they are snookered and it looks impossible to get at, but they still do it and pot it. Yep, i get it happens, but when you get them doing it 3 or 4 times in the same game, it does your nut in, lol.

Been playing for 30 mins and already matched with 3 of the dodgy accounts mentioned above. One of which was 308-992-499-1.

Exactly! the good cheats are hard to spot. They only use the cheato hack when snookered or for a difficult shot such as the 8ball bank in Berlin and Rome.

I also encountered a lot of those subtle cheaters the last few days. At first I thought wow those guys are lucky to get out of snookers so successfully and potting the balls like a machine.

And worst of all, it is of no use to report them to MC because they are not helpful. I am not going to video every game and note their unique IDs And they don't give any feedback so you don't know if they followed up or just tossed your complaint. Sigh.

I mainly play the Hail Mary shots now in 9ball. Hard, hitting the 9ball lol. Remarkably often with success.

Spot on! Also having to crop the video because it won’t upload. Worst ever customer engagement so ends up with more and more players getting away with it.

Everyone who plays the highest tables will have played a Cheto style hacker. If only MC would publicly acknowledge they’re trying to do something about it.

[undiscovad]

The cheto and aim-lines hackers been known for over a year now. For this reason, hard to win in Rome (took me forever to get 1st and 2nd ring), and I lost all (4) of my Berlin attempts, I also recorded the video but didn't report. What's been more frustrating is this new thing where you sink your shot (even the black) then some magic happens and the opponent gets the ball in hand. Even seen this on small tables like Tokyo. I remember the connection slow story a while ago, so not really surprised

[dhakapapa]

If I were in charge, I would actively encourage players to report cheaters and if proven correct, I would give them some award like coins or pool cash.
But I am not in charge.
So I restrict my play to a couple of games, just to stay in my league, but I am thinking of giving even that up and waiting to resume playing until such time as miniclip cleans out the cheaters.

edited to add : I played 6 or 7 games today of which at least 3 were blatant cheaters.
The last one I played had level 24 and played a bank shot into the middle pocket without any hesitation. I laughed. He potted the cue ball later and quit mmediately.

Another positive after a short while, managed to grab a silver showdown cup. Was in a very tough league, was 4th for the longest time but used some pool cash to buy a few missions and managed to hold 3rd from Saturday. This is the 4th silver cup (with 1 gold, 2 bronze) on my account and of the 7, only bought 2 premium pool passes (so for this one, I was the free pool pass account and finished 3rd). Obviously this virtual cup means nothing, but I like to look for light (in otherwise dark 8bp times)
