The "same location" detector is not 100% reliable, but is working 99% of the time.
Many of the 1% remaining situations corresponds to situation where the 2 players tries to cheat the "same location" detector by using different connexion from the same place.
If one of you manage to reproduce this bug multiple times with players from different location, and can reproduce this on demand, please contact me (contact@boardgamearena.com) so we can test this together and see how we can address the problem.
If you cannot reproduce this bug on demand, this bug has no more use (so I'm closing it at now).
