New Kid on the Block: Let's Get Real
Chess champs, we're fresh out of the gate, and Murphy's Law is eyeing us:
• Expect some players to poke our anti-cheat. (Bring it on!) • Sixth-i's smart, but green. Help it to level up. • Spot a fishy move? Don't be shy, give us a nudge.
No sugar-coating here - building fair play central won't be without its speed bumps. But with you on board, we'll turn early snags into a cheat-proof fortress.
Alpha Platform Release
Expect some turbulence – we're still fine-tuning this bird. Hotfixes and maintenance pit stops will be required. We'll keep you informed of any changes or downtime.
During this phase, we'll be:
Releasing features for community testing
Running test tournaments with loot up for grabs
Gathering and implementing player feedback
Continuously improving the platform based on real-world usage
Preparing for a smooth transition to our full release
Sweeps and Ban Waves
Heads up, speed demons! As the new kid on the block, we're expecting some mischief-makers to test our defences.
Here's the deal:
• We know banned players from other platforms might try their luck here.
• Expect some speed bumps as we kick things off and Sixth-i flexes its muscles.
• We'll be doing regular retrospective sweeps and ban waves to keep things fair.
Remember, just because you got away with it once, doesn't mean you're in the clear. Our Sixth-i Co-pilot is always watching, always learning, and always evolving. Play fair, or don't play at all!
