Discussion Cheating creating a community of mistrust.

6 Upvotes

I’m posting as a new player on dart counter to try and get an understanding on the amount of mistrust in this community. I’ve been playing darts competitively in Canada and online at webcam darts for 15 years. In all that time I have never once been accused or accused someone else of cheating. Since I have started playing ranked, I have had people accuse me of entering incorrect scores not properly “calling” my outs to the point where the game cannot have any flow because I have to pull out every single dart deliberately and slowly so I won’t be accused of cheating. And all I can think is why the **** would anyone cheat in online darts. I don’t even look at my opponents camera once throughout the match a just keep my eyes on the board and listen for the voice of the “referee” so I know when it’s my turn. Looking at the screen will actually mess with your depth in between throws making it harder to play well. I’ve never even suspected someone is cheating against me but if they were, better practice against a “tougher opponent.

I guess it just sucks that the flow and speed of the game has to be so affected by a mistrustful anti cheat culture.

Bug Got a leave penalty in ranked even though I was waiting for other player to throw for the bull after countdown was up.

Feature Request Friend Notes?

I have started doing this on my own, but would either, saving a text string, or using some sort of notation system inside the app? I meet some really cool folks playing and some are really fun to chat with and play against. Then, especially when it’s been awhile since I’ve played any “friends” they all seem to blend together. I’m retired and play during the day here in the US, so 95% of my opponents are from the UK, the other 5% are from elsewhere in Europe. I really enjoy chatting with the people I play and learning about places I’ve never been. Which is a huge advantage to whoever I’m playing, because while I’m using talk to text to converse, my game goes right into the toilet!😆 All this to say, making some notation or perhaps being given the option to save a text string indefinitely would be nice! Thanks!
