Undoubtably some players cheat, though they are very few I think. If you suspect that a player is cheating, just don't signup to play in the games he plays in. That is what I do.

First, I need to say the following:
Anyone that cheats at a game is in serious need of mental help. Afterall, it's just a game! For fun! Why cheat?! If a person is willing to cheat at a game, then this person proves to the world that he/she is unfit for society (and should be removed). Think about it, if they are willing to cheat at a game, then most likely they are willing and capable of performing other acts of dishonesty (or worse).
Now that being said, can any of the players here cheat at youplay.it? If so, how easy is it to cheat here and how often does it take place?
I have a feeling it is possible. I won't mention any names, but it just seems that some of my opponents have a major edge. Regularly, they seem to know where my moves are going to be. I even tested this theory by making such a ridiculous move that it should have just been impossible to figure out, and sure enough, it was predicted. So, it really starts to make me think.
Then I see things like in the "Albatross surprised?????" scenario where lillo69 flies a Sopwith Triplane and shoots down ten Albatros DIII's in five games. Yes, you read that right. In five games, he scores 10 kills out of the 10 enemy planes he/she faced (at 1 to 2 odds). To me that just seems suspicous... but then I was always suspicous of people... I guess I was a police officer for far to many years. Anywho, I'm not saying lillo69 is cheating. I would have to analyze the five games that lillo69 played to draw any conclusion, and I haven't done that. But this is only a sidebar to this topic.
The main topic is just this: How many players do cheat (even if it was only once) and why in the heck do it in the first place? How easy is it for players to cheat here at youplay.it?
