TheTeddyBear Are you the same TeddyBear from Ogame.us?

Used to be

Quote from Largenton

*opens the closet door and throws Marshmello out*

Oi! Leave my Mello be!

Quote from cthulchu

I mean, I was thinking about that too. Like a simple page auto-refresh plugin. But I'm not sure if that's legal. The rules are a bit vague around what scripts are legal and what are not. Hard to tell.

I don't think that would be legal.

But you don't need a plugin, there are legal and within the game mechanics ways of having constant activity without the need to install any additional software.

You can know that a dude has been on for a week straight because you hunt him with your whole alliance and no one ever seen the dude off even though they watch him constantly.

You seem to forget that there's a lot of ways to fake activity.

Holy mother of bejesus that's some amazing teamwork! Congrats, great hit!

It's nice to see some good sportsmanship here Nice ninja, nothing better than a home delivery, enjoy!

Quote from Marshmello

We don't have a direct phone number for the GF executive table to call them up and order some changes.

"Hello, Hans? I'd like to order some banhammers with some spare DM on the side. Yes, that'd be PERM topping. Mhm, mhm, I understand. Make that sauce out of cheater's tears please."

Quote from Isostorm

The problem you seem to have with it is publicity.

You don't like people seeing how dissatisfied your playerbase is with the current state of the game.

Your process for catching these cheaters involves bows and arrows? Perhaps you should think about upgrading your tools.

If you are honestly to the point you suggest we just leave the server because it's full of cheaters, First of all, that is immeasurably sad. Secondly, guess where the cheaters go when their uni dies!?

That's right... the new universes.

Don't respond to them? They dont care if we respond or not. The board means nothing to anyone because it's just a record of what happened and when it happened.

Our uni is plagued by cheaters to the point most of the top tens, solo and otherwise are by people we all know are cheating.

If you have a reason to suspect cheating for the players posting these hits, maybe you shouldn't be moving them to the top tens. (it does give them their "air time" afterall)

Your rulebook for this game is a joke. It's time for a new rulebook.

Running multiaccounts? Use a VPN so it can't be proven.

Buying accounts? Do it through a third party so it can't be proven.

Running scripts that instaprobe on activity? It's okay, you're just a "highly active player"

Get crashed by someone legit? It's okay, these things happen. Buy a ton of fleet from your multiaccount on the market and grab the DF for yourself because you have the fastest recs in the server.

Get your moon popped on a dirty fleetsave? It's okay. Get yourself banned so that others don't get your fleet.

Server overrun with cheaters? Mods not able to do anything because they don't have enough proof? Rely on your playerbase to handle it for you. I'm sure it'll be fine.

(If not, you can always tell them to go play on another server full of cheaters and perpetuate the problem.)

Players upset in the forums about the ineffectiveness of the system? Dispatch Madoka to warn or ban them all.

Players till upset? Dispatch the bandwagon of mods and GO's. (they can all like each others posts!) ((It may also be noted that the cheaters seem to like your guys posts pretty often. Gosh I wonder why))

Oh... are your players really still upset at your inept customer service and support system? Oh well. Not like we could do anything to prevent it. (Except maybe everything)

Better lock the thread I guess. We did all we could. (Even though we didn't but whatever who cares.)

Great job team. Really proud of you guys.

Or, you know, you could just FIX YOUR RULES so they don't empower cheaters. But you'll never do that.

It seems majority of your issues is misdirected.

We do not create the rules, Gameforge does.

We do not create the tools, Gameforge does.

We do not create the universes, Gameforge does.

We do not create policy, Gameforge does.

We do not create guidelines, Gameforge does.

We do not create support system, Gameforge does.

So I'd say you're barking up the wrong tree here. We all do whatever we can do in the frame of riules and tools and guidelines we were given. If that's not good enough for you, apply to be a GO and put your money where your mouth is. If you don't want to, write a letter to GF or go to Karlsrhue and protest in front of the GF building. Other than that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ugh so this sure generated a lot of discussion.

First of all, nice profit for you Monster, enjoy. As a player on Octans, I always like to see an "underdog" hitting a bigger guy.

Now, going a bit off topic to address some of the points raised here.

So first of all, all the requests to Madoka or Marshmello to "do smth about them cheaters in game" are misdirected, as they are both moderators, so they take care of the forum, not the game.

The game is being taken care of by GOs and SGOs. If you don't know who the GO is in your universe, you can always check this thread:

Who is who in the Game Team

Second, to create an account on the forum you have to READ and accept the rules of it. Cheating accusations and ban discussions are prohibited, which I assume you all know, seeing as you have forum accounts, so you clearly read and accepted the aformentioned rules.

The ONLY correct way to report cheating is using the ticket system - here is the link: https://ogame.support.gameforge.com/index.php

Third, please remember that there is not so many of GOs and SGOs and checking everything takes time. We don't get paid, we do it all voluntarily because we love the game and want to contribute. As such, we still need to do other stuff that's important - work, family, etc, so we can't focus on Ogame 24/7, sorry to disappoint.

Having said that, checking for cheating takes time, and there is a correct and specific way to do things. If a player is cheating, they will get found out sooner or later, and justice shall be served. But let me use an example here.

If you get caught in possesion of a bit of drugs once, you're not automatically sentenced to life for being head of a drug cartel.

Just be patient, use the ticket system, and have a little faith in us.

Peace!

You have any ideas what you want it to be? That'd be helpful

Showoff

It be like that sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, I don't

Gohan>everyone else

Huh, indeed. Perhaps maintenance is just taking longer.

Quote from Wraith02

you answered your own question with your question...

The question you should be asking is, why was another attack block issued, when the previous one failed?

For that, GF hasn't given us any information.

Information was provided ahead of the block with enough time to prepare for it:

4/27 - Network Maintenance

Didn't notice anything, whole day great results, loads of crys, met, and ships, some deut, 3 pirate fights

Quote from GranDGranT

how do you unwatch a cringy thread?

You need to pluck your eyes out.

Or there's a button "manage subscription" on the right side just above the top post, looks like a ribbon.
