Scammer Alert / Vetsikas

[lucienjc99]

hello,

the player named Vetsikas left the game after losing his army due to his own attack. it was a rated game.

there is also another issue i would like to bring to your attention. in this game, Vetsikas was rated 1357, and this was only 3 days ago (june 10, 2026).

today (june 13, 2026), Vetsikas is rated 1711.

it appears that Vetsikas is inflating his rating by playing 1v1 matches against fake accounts (possibly bots). as you can see here, even though the game start time is 19:14, the account "muricaa234" resigned twice at 19:14. that's two wins within a single minute.

In some of the chat logs (I share), he even appears to acknowledge the situation himself, implying that these accounts are bots. He also makes comments such as, "I will show up on the leaderboard, and you will look at me" 

in addition, he regularly hosts rated games with the 0 minute wonder victory condition enabled. he then invites people to play 1v1 matches. since many players do not carefully check the settings, Vetsikas quickly advances to phase 3, builds a wonder, and immediately "wins" the game. when people complain, he often responds by accusing them using various manipulative arguments.

i do not know whether the administration will take any action against a player who reached 1711 rating within 3 days under these circumstances. however, at the very least, people have a right to know that he is a scammer and should be aware of his behavior.

thank you for your time.
