Default Re: party vs stars difference

In theory it may be testable, but only in isolation. Any test conducted in isolation would be subject to justified criticism that the result is not representative of the result that would be obtained if a truly representative sample of the population is examined.

In other words, testing the experience of one player to determine systematic unfairness is close to meaningless against a counter argument that tens of thousands of other players did not share the experience of the one player examined, leading to the conclusion that the one experience is merely an outlier, something to be expected on occasion.

I still would like someone to start from the position that the deal is assumed to be unfair unless proven otherwise. That people persist on thinking that sites will not cheat because they have too much to lose if they are caught just blows my mind. If history teaches anything about human nature it is that we have insatiable greed and a belief that we won't get caught.

Anyway, I'm done with PStars forever. I have no doubt that I was targeted. What I experienced there three times in my three periods of play there was not just an extreme outlier. I believe it was manufactured. And because I live in the U.S., under the rule of a republican administration, my online playing days are history.
