    I represent Sgarrista Air Brigade. Many of you may have met our members in Skies of Glory and F.A.S.T. While some of us may appear to have certain advantages, I wish to assure you that we hold honesty in highest regard when we play, and do not condone cheating by any of our members. If you suspect any unfair play by any of of us with the tag SAB in our names, please bring it to my attention, and you can be assured that any complaint will be investigated. Here is a link to our group: http://forums.toucharcade.com/group....iew&groupid=61 . If you wish to consider joining, please contact hoboj03. We are more than happy to welcome honest, skillful players into our ranks.

    If you play Skies of Glory, you'll probably know several things. One, planes take damage, and do not regenerate over time like some other games do. Two, the average kill-death ratio is about 3-4. This means, the number of kills that you've achieved, versus the number of times you've died. Regardless of how skilled a player is, it is impossible to achieve a kill-death ratio of more than 20, and that's being pretty generous. As a two-time #1 holder in SoG, I can safely say that my highest KD ratio is 5.5 : 1.

    However, it is apparent that there are certain unscrupulous players who wish to boost their stats by playing unfairly. How is this possible, you may ask?

    Before I start let me reemphasize that KD ratios of 20:1, even 10:1, are incredibly hard to achieve honestly. In any match, regardless of skill level, a player is bound to shoot you. Over the course of a few kills or so, you will definitely be killed. If you are to believe such kill ratios, then you're believing that a player can consistently shoot down ten people before even dying once. Let alone ratios of 52:1 ! That would mean that a player only be shot down once every 52 kills! This is possible by two methods:

    Firstly, a player may enter a game, accumulate a number of kills, and then leave before he has a chance to be killed. This will add the number of kills to his overall, and if repeated enough times, could result in a unrealistic KD ratio. This is obviously not a reflection of true skill. To participate in fair combat, one must remain in a game long enough for true skill to manifest itself in score. Not this cowardly hit and run tactics.

    Second, a player with two iDevices may enter a private match, and use his main device to repeatedly kill the secondary device. This is more or less point farming. It is considered cheating, because a player is essentially adding points to his own score in order to progress up the leaderboards. He is not fighting against fair competition, nor allowing fair competition to fight fairly against him.

    This player is D8withDEATH. There is no reason to believe that he has not carried on in his dishonest ways in SGN's new game, Skies of Glory. Not only are his KD ratios far too unrealistic to believe, he is also part of a group with details as follows:

    F.A.S.T Decepticons! Air Brigade!
    Group Created by ihopnes
    a group for F.A.S.T. players!

    Welcome to the Decepticons! Air Brigade!

    Mission Statement: The Decepticons! is a team of players who shall claim the top spots in F.A.S.T. ranking with no regard towards rules and integrity.

    Motto: Points over Integrity!

    Business Plan: Our team will be comprised of very few players compared to other larger brigades. Strict screening is applied when members are recruited. We look for active and vocal players who have good skills and most importantly, no respect for the law of integrity! host dropping and 0-rank exploiting allows us to infinitely increase our ranking.
    In addition to seeking the highest ranking, the brigade also aims to dominate other F.A.S.T. brigades in matches.

    Requirements to join:

    1. Must be an active player and a team-player.
    2. Must be tolerant of cheating.
    3. For players under 1900 ranking, a name of a Decepticon transformer is required
    4. Respectful to teammates, however, no courtesy is asked of you towards other players

    All planes are allowed to be used by team members.

    TEAM MEMBERS:

    SUPREME COMMANDER: D8WithDeath AKA MEGATRON
    CO-COMANNDER, Founder: IHOPnes AKA STARSCRAEM
    UNDER-RATED ASSASSIN: Loves2Spoon AKA DREADWING

    link here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/group.php?groupid=135


    I seek to make the community aware of this dishonest play and not to be taken in by his supposedly amazing scores. I have brought this loophole to the attention of the developer, and hopefully all honest players can look forward to cheat-free skies in the near future.

    The latter.

    And in other news... My new Kill Ratio is 7.1 : 1 ! I just had a very merry session of Downstroying. How satisfying :)

    I sure have noticed people gunning for me when I come in. Anyone who looks at the leader board Top Ten can see 4 "SAB" instances. I'd gun for us, too!

    I say, bring it.

    D8, bring your bogus kill ratio. Let's get it down to about 5:1, where it prolly belongs.

    What a guy.

    My guess is a second iPod that he uses as a dummy in a private room, which he just shoots at every time it appears in front of him.

    On the "Market" section, hit "Restore Purchase" (or something like that) and make sure that you're using the same itunes account.

    Actually I left because It was 1v4 and I wanted to make it 2v3 so I came back and then I was gunning by u. I had full health because you didn't shoot me.

    What a great game...lotsa fun to be had. Wish people would change default names 'tho.

    -MrJones

    Nothing better than seeing 'killing spree!!" up on screen.

    I agree with earlier posts, I can't get more than 4 or 5 kills in a row without getting shot down...a lot less if I'm playing skilled up players.
