Party Mode Phantom Users.
I'm currently playing in a tournament and this user hasn't been online for 30 mins but score has increased 100,000 points.

That's the user profile.

Keep in mind that when a user turns off his online visibility (from the privacy settings menu) you will see him as "offline for ... minutes" even if he's in a middle of a game. I think the timer resets whenever he logs out or logs in. I believe this is what happened there (although 100K points in 30 minutes is very rare to see...)

As is a score of 368,000........something very fishy is going on!! Some people must be spending a fortune on power ups to use the Speedster setting or they are playing for the entire 24hours without sleep. I was yards ahead of this guy& overnight he racked up over 200, 000 points.....in the Netherlands! GMT plus 1..thats all. I smell a rat!!!

@Cehard, I'm curious - do you remember who this guy was? I play in the European division so it might be one of the usuals. Some of them have night-shifts at work so they pass the time by playing continuously for a few hours.
And as a general word of advice - playing when the competition starts is pretty risky, there's always a chance someone like that can take the lead over night. My suggestion is to only start when you know that you can protect your lead - so if you see someone trying to take over, you start playing again and maintain a ~50K points lead.

yes...I have the alleged name as the party is still in progress. My lead was substantial enough to keep him behind me all the way.....my issue is...how is it a level playing field if he is buying power ups just to add to his stash of "medals"& I choose to play on merit. You may view his name on a comment I posted earlier headed...." cheats are spoiling the parties"......& thanks for your advice...I play enough to be aware that people play at different times of day& night...but this guy must go without sleep full stop....unless he is a phantom
-
Well, simply put - this isn't a level playing field. Of course people who put money in the game will have an advantage over us, that's the source of income for the company which made the game, and so they will encourage you to do the same.
I can tell you from personal experience that this still doesn't mean you can't win. If you collect free tickets by watching videos and powerups by playing in the regular mode (i have ~80 games every week, out of which i win or tie ~70), it gives you a chance to play 1 or 2 parties per week. The trick is to know when to start playing and which party to avoid before it becomes a waste of resources and time.

yes...I do all of the above& have 3 party badges& if he hadnt been so greedy to add to his "trophy" cabinet by paying his way to the top my score would have breezed it. Hate greedy people....as if collecting all the badges actually means something in the real world....I only play a party once in a blue moon as entertainment. Enough said....topic closed😄.
