Great to see that you did your research. Dubious misconduct to manipulate results to certain accounts shouldn't be the aim of this contest and even I, I'm disappointed myself. Hopefully, we get to see better conducts towards the contest from the participants.

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 35/45) Liquid rewards.
It's in human nature, if the opportunity is there and there's an easier path to improve the chances of winning even if not playing fair, sooner rather than later someone will take it. Without rules and penalties, it's difficult to keep things in balance.
This win was surely unexpected, especially after seeing my results in the previous challenges, Thank You @spectrumecons !
I've tried to make it hard to cheat but it is impossible to protect against someone using multiple accounts. Just need to spot it when it happens.
It is disappointing. Two of these accounts have performed well in the past when the number of participants were far fewer. These challenges involve both skill and luck. The luck element makes it almost impossible for any account to consistently win when there a lot of participants. It is sad that these accounts felt they needed to resort to these tactics when they still would have won some contests using their own ability.
