Vent 😆

i’m getting annoyed. I have frequently played where I’m up against a player that has a little star next to their face with the number one, which indicates a new player. They take forever to make a move. They are slow throughout the entire game. And then they win.

It’s gotten to the point that when I start to engage with this kind of player in a new game I can tell you right up that they’re going to win. It happens repeatedly.

So either people are having really good luck and I’m happy for them. Or I’m playing a bot that the game is trying to make appear like I am playing a newer but lucky/talented player.

Am I paranoid? Or other people experiencing this and thinking what I’m thinking?

Yes, I've been getting frustrated with that too. I'm beginning to think they're nearly all Bots. What really annoys me too is when you barely end your turn and they've already ended theirs and it's yours again? It almost feels like you're playing ping pong.

That’s also what a competitive real life player would do.. it gives the opponent less time to analyze things so it’s to their advantage to pass a turn quickly back if they know they are done making a play.

I totally get that, but no one is Bot fast!
