Every prince can announce "tournaments" to which his friends come to get some result or to push people. The "Archon" file is primarily only checked "formally". Meaning a "Ranking pushing" is also possible in real life, with little effort.

I've never heard that such thing has been done.
Have you?

I mean theoretically it could be done, but I kinda doubt it.

If someone gets caught I think such scammers would get booted from VEKN. Or at least they should.

Till today, I did not get any information that this happens. But like you see, this is theoretical possible.

And to be honest, it could need some time till a boost like this will be detected. But I also hope is, that if this will happen, and we can identify this, that it will be stopped, and the individuals get to be banned.

My example was only to make shown, that the problem of pushing is not only an online problem.

Is it really?

Would need quite a few people on agreeing on a little conspiracy to up a few rankings.
Most of who wouldn't really benefit from it.

Don't really see it happening and I'm often rather paranoid on such matters...

Yes, you need a group of co-conspirators and preferably an area where few people are active.

As well as some other requirements, which I may not publish here as a blueprint.
But to be honest, that will nothing, what will work by night, this take time.

Where there's a will there's a way
