Is it possible to report someone that you suspect of cheating?
I just played a game with someone who I believe was cheating. During the Faellie maze mini-game, the person had the wooden barriers broken down before they got to them, and during the Zomutt digging mini-game, the person ended up with more points than me, but collected no gems.
I highly doubt it is cheating.
Unfortunately KQ requires high specs - 2GB RAM, 256mb graphic card. Unless you have close to this as well as highspeed connection and a decent sized CPU, then you are going to have all sorts of problems.
The most obvious problem is the mini-games - either one or both of the following is the problem:
Computer lag/game is out of sync - this is causing you to see the 'past' - ie, your opponent has already dug the gems/broken the doors, but you are slightly behind on your screen. Even though you still see the gems, the opponent has already dug them by the time you have caught up.
It happens to me all the time (and many others, you just have to visit the KQ board) - I have screenies to show the time delay and that is a very common problem.
You can usually tell if you have a big delay by the amount of time you sit on the 'Waiting' screen.
Luckily the mini-games don't always give keys, but power-ups instead, so that makes it a little fairer.
Good luck with all your future games.
