Team cheaters in FFA again
Nowadays, it's the sort of game that we have in FFA. Cooperating with your opposite is what helps you and your opposite become first and second. It's not cheating. It is perfectly fair. I suggest that you cooperate with your opposite, especially at that sort of level, as it could come in handy. You will not be reported for it because it's how common high-rated FFA games are played. If you are not happy with this new version, play SOLO.
I think the ban you were referring to on another thread has something to do with 4PC, not Chess.com. It is likely an admin placed a ban of some sort on your account for this thread, in which you have openly accused another player of cheating/teaming when they did not.
PLAY SOLO THEN.
or take advantage of the broken system and team to win yourself. and also, anyone reading this STOP BLOWING UP MY NOTIFICATIONS WITH THE SAME OLD COMPLAINING.
That game was clear teaming. B+G systematically hunted together for several moves for kill #1, an en-prise Q was left alone (making the teaming near-certain), then the team went for kill #2 (now the teaming is certain -- there was tacit agreement to go after yellow). Go ahead and try to explain it away, but it's BS. Play team games and stop this nonsense.
@selrahc1 ... Solo can be abused by repeated teaming with trading of wins. A possible fix is to make sure the runner-up loses at least as many points as the winner gains.

i will explain: blue and green teamed for kill #1 because it is a lot easier to attack a side than your opposite so having a player to your side killed is more than just an even 67% chance of winning even if you are a traitor because the only other to double attack you is all the way across the board in both solo and ffa. blue and green stayed teamed for kill #2 because 1. it benefited both of them and 2. it is just a lot quicker to be unfair to the sandwiched player. and also, if literally any one can get away with this, then maybe YOU should play like a team.

look at this forum so you know why this doesn't happen, and also for people who complain. https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/but-is-it-teaming
Neither of your posts is persuasive.
The first is fallacious. As soon as you decide that *routinely* team-attacking one side and then the other is okay, then in effect you have decided it's a team game and not FFA. It's the *routinely* that matters.
The second seems to require me to do detective work. That's not why I'm here.
Well what gustave posted is not what is going on now. What is going on now is hardcore teaming. No doubt. But there are no rules against it nor should there be. BE FREE. This is a game where tactics rule out weak emotion. But the teaming going on is still stupid. Very stupid. After one side wins say blue and green. Well after that they should NO LONGER BE TEAMING. Whoever has the advantage now should be the new target 100%. However.... to make the rule "no teaming" is like telling Magnus, "No sorry you can't move your queen there buddy it's not theoretical." He'll want to spit on your face! lol No. BUT STILL. I CAN'T MOVE MY QUEEN THERE? I CAN'T MOVE MY KNIGHT THERE? ABSURD! This game is for children who are not ready to face real life. Teaming is a part of the game, and now it's being taken to the next level. What's more is that you ffa players are going against some of the most skilful 2v2 players, and they don't care what you think. They want to win, and nowwww they found a wayyyy. This is a storm. But the storm will calm down. HOWEVER, YOU MUST ADAPT. This is how legends are born.
