Nice catch
Think that lot of players from SPICA remember your nic, nice to have you back.

Hello everyone - old bone here that just got back after years of pause, by accident. First of all, since I haven'T been able to find out just yet, which universes merged into this v-mode/inactive mess and does anyone know about what age those universes were at the time of the merger? (Since my account is at least 5-6 years old now...)
In the last universe I played actively, there was a few of those perma online guys who also happened to be big spenders (I know since I was in close contact with the top cheating dog for a while). It took months of evidence gathering and tons of reports made until the guy got banned the 1st time. Less than a week he was back in - "cleared"/misunderstanding was the reason named. It was the first and last universe that I gave the farming bot a try [ogame automatics]. Since I have nothing but less than superficial coding "experience" (I feel I just ruined the word here, attributing it to myself in relation to coding/programming), it took me a while to get everything started and even longer to tweak the bots to do what I needed them to do (basically spy, farm, fleetsave if attack was launched upon). Needless to say I got banned, but not before proving that the piece of [censored] was cheating all along. It is the most frustrating thing, as an old ogame player, who always out-farmed, out-played universes merely by determination, time input and perseverance, to play vs DM-pushers and worst-of the worst, cheaters/pushers. I mean, I get it, there's no such thing as FREE, we wouldn'T be able to play if everything was free, someone has to pay for all the expenses and maybe even make some profits, the way DM has changed this game tho, was very unpleasant (and I don't think this is solely my oppinion).
So I've been back roughly 2 weeks, got my first expo fleet crashed after only 3 days while drunk and (big surprise - I even forgot I was playing again) roaming til early morning. Briefly talked to the guy who farmed me and told him he gave me a reason to finally quit, after which the guy was so surprised I wasn't a pushing account, that he even offered to give me back the resources, just not to quit =))
Somehow I decided to stay for a while longer and got hooked again - at the latest when twice in a row I got around 20kk res from 1h expo (both metal, but hey, friggin 20some mill metal is still a lot for a 1 hour run, even for this uni).
I'm now at almost double my points from when I picked up, less than 2 weeks ago, not taking into account I even lost around 400kk while gotten crashed. Right now there's almost 600kk res being shipped around, since I don't even have the infrastructure to spend them!
My point(s) here being (yes, all this time I was trying to get somehere, so here comes):
1) if you focus on your own game, you'll find pleasure in it again for what the hell it is (A GAME).
2) with computer tech 15-20ish, you can launch 6-7 expos (that's what I got) at once and with the rest you can easily farm 5-10 inactives and make enough activity for over 2 hours. It's not hard, even longer than that, we didn't need friggin bots and codes all those years to be able to create activity when there was no one behind the screen. What's annoying tho, is finding fat inactives and by the time u get there, even under 30 mins, they're emptied :))
3) The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I tried getting a sense out of who's who from rankings, military points built, lost and so on and it seems to me like the top 3 dogs in the uni (I figure it's the "chinese faction" ppl are talking about) have 1 thing in common: they're not hunting each other and they didn't get crashed [yet].
4) Main reason I decided to to post, was actually someone higher up in the comments mentioning 300-500 ranked accounts growing like crazy and I'm telling you I only re-installed antigame (had even forgotten the friggin name, had to look it up), I was farming without it with a sheet of paper, like the old days. If you wanna get ahead, YOU CAN, you just have to be determined to do so. If not and if just watching these three up there with their military points gets you frustrated, SCREW IT, there's plenty of new universes to play. (or you could take everything that is ogame, put a bag on it and aim for the trash can, hoping you don't miss )
There's still enough fleets and active players to make everything possible. Main problem I see, is the universe dying however. I think more than 80% are inactives (vmode or gone for good).
If there's something missing, it's a common goal, people pulling on the same end of the rope, solidarity and a strong community. But then again, ogame community was never strong when it came to holding together and following a common good; just too many egomaniacs, to many I-players, too many suffering from "I got the biggest .|."-syndrome. I should know, I was one of them. I'm rather leaning towards the idea that gameforge is desperately hoping this headache of creation to die by itself, even if it was their star horse at the vagon for many, many years. I mean, look at every other online game out there. ALL have a friggin mobile app, ALL of them - ogame doesn't (or not anymore, I remember there was a brief period I could play on ipad, but that's years ago, as well).
Anyhow, as long as time will allow me, I'll be here hustling to be able to spend more than what I make (which is a problem I encountered for the first time).
I'm annoyed by the redesign somewhat, but then again I was annoyed with the old one, after being implemented in god knows when (2007ish?)
you'll probably be able to tell I'm getting old, since I lost the thread there a few times while typing
You want to know why this server is a vmode/inactive mess? How about getting bashed every single night for nothing. Imagine being attacked on every planet for overnight production. We got defenses, yes. They dont care with their millions of LF. So what can you do? Ah yeah, shut down production overnight so the only thing they can attack, are defenses. So they actually do that. Over. and Over. and Over. and Over. and Over. and Over and ........
When you go to sleep for a good nights rest, with nothing on any planet, all ships in the air, not a single sat all fusion and just some regular defenses and they still attack you, with losses (but who cares when they can recycle 70% of their own loses and get free resources by their 'trading partners' anyway). You cant play at all. There is no fun in it. You can say, well just ignore those attacks. But lets be honest, no one would enjoy the described game.
A lot of us wanted to play. A lot of us tried to make the best of it. We even made an organized attack on them by around 50 players. Watched their activity for weeks, waited for the right moment to attack. The moment we all launched, poof they suddenly get online. We had logs for weeks about how their activity looked like and out of nowhere they are suddenly online at a time they never were. But there comes in a single attack and suddenly they are all online. They literally have 24/7 activity, because when you attack them, they will come online instantly. No mather what time it is, they are either playing or reacting to an attack. There is no window of opportunity, you just have to deal with it. Yeah no.
The server got a group of very fishy players with 24/7 activity, with proven trade account that do nothing but trading at the best rate with them, but never, ever gain any points or show any activity besides the trading, what should we do than? Even some team members are calling out those players, but in the end, GO's wont do a thing. In the end, they are the main reason Ogame is still profitable. So thats why players like myself quit: there is no fun in getting bashed for nothing, seeing the bullies cheat and still getting away with it. When you try to play your own game, but the game is owned by them, we rather quit.
Edit: To add more to the story and how unheard most of the players felt. At a moment, when players like myself tried to show GO's and other staff why and how they were cheating, we never got a true respons. It either was "we will look into it" or nothing at all. And then we got a new ruling on the Spica boards. "As most of the posts in this section are cheating accusations they are forbidden again." We weren't even allowed to speak about the cheating. They never did anything with our questions, they never did anything with our research or our proof. The only thing they did, is censoring us.I have to respond to this msg DHcFireHawk... MOST of ex SPICA players shit their pants and went v mode after few hanhan RIP attacks and you are one of them. You send ONE attack on hanhan and then go v mode. For next months few of us had no defence at some planets as they raided us with cargos like we are inactive . Most of you players bitch about hanhan and chinese but when they attacked you, attacks was profitable. Same thing when we merge. All players now days just play this game for highscore and resources. Your main goal is to build more mines, defence, fleet and it should be something else.
Got a rock to the head? A few points:
A few RIP Attacks? No defense? Raided with Cargoes? Attack was profitable?
None of these are true and you know it. Getting 9 RIP attacks over night, every night, for weeks. Building up defenses to counter the rips, but instead they just mass LF. Raided with cargoes, they never did. Was it profitable. Hell no, because even if I had zero sats, turned down overnight production to 0% and just had defenses on my planet, no resources, and still they bashed WITH LOSSES. You say I shit my pants, no. I was done playing a game where they wanted to force us in trading deut at very, very bad rates with them or get bashed to infinity 24/7 with 0 chance in countering it with their 100% activity. They didnt care about profit in their attacks, they almost never got any profit at my planets anyway. And still, every morning when I open up my game after a good nights rest, another bash has come through of millions of LF's with some cruisers or just plain 1k RIPS flying my way to destroy whatever is left.
Tell me, what did I do wrong? Because you seem to know exactly how I played (not).
weeks just don't...they attacked you maybe 10 times but clearly enough for you and others to quit. Of course you don't know about cargo attacks because you had defence...months after you quiters left they had less targets so they cloud focus on us few. And yes they raided me with cargo on few planets where they IPM ed my defence to 0. They never got more ress then I got from hanhan. I have more respect for them then I have for all of ex spica players except few

Sorry to hear you leaving game because that jerk. Still I wish you goodluck in RL and I promise you that I will wist you this summer. I will call you today on this
hehehhehehe
no problem diddy
one song for u
English this time, only 4 u
hahahhahahahahahahah didnt know there are VUCO apostles here
Make a ticket and let's discuss what you want me to see.
There is no discussion with you guys, you just say due to bla bla bla we cant tell you shit and that is how any discussion ends. I send manny tickets regarding team china before we merge here. In one period of game their main accounts where online 24/7 and you cloud do nothing. Right now in uriel they have at least 30 multiacc some in v mode and 10 of those multiacc are in top 20 and everybody that played here longer then 6 months know that. It is not just this uni, every uni has their "china team" and this is big problem for gameforge because most of those sucessful cheaters at top are GO,SGO or a former GO,SGO who knows rules and knows what are GO looking for so they do not get caught. I have never been GO or SGO but still I know few different legal and illegal ways to cheat and not get caught and manny of those legal ways most of TOP players use in everyday gameplay.
So you cant do anything even if you and everybody else know they are cheaters
Display MoreDisplay Morei know the game. but still makes no sense attackting with that high rank difference IMO.
the could easily just pop the moons and hunt you down. instead they ignore you when you write online. :/
Team china are the one you talking about, they have at least 10 acc in TOP20. Some of those acc are bots and some are multi acc of those few players playing those acc. There is no way they are getting banned and nobody knows why. Look at player zshibu stats at mmorpg.....that player made it to top 20 in 4 months by raiding 24/7 and nobody did anything.
Run away from this uni and dont look back
Rest assured, I have my eye on several accounts.
However, some things are not illegal.
It is possible to use an addon such as AGR to farm inactives quickly and efficiently.
No scripting involved.
Some times, it just takes patience to gather enough data to make the decision to press the ban button.
That data gathering can sometimes take a significant amount of time.
But do not fret, I am watching..
Chinese are not stupid like most players that you guys ban, they are smart and they know how not get banned . I bet on everything I got that you know they are cheating but they are doing it in a "legal" way so you cant do nothing. Gameforge has to change that rules

F U GAMEFORGE
I can only say that GF didn't disappoint us with this update, as a matter of fact it all played smooth like it always do
I can't see what are you typing about. I sad please
Please change your avatar, this is not gay dating site.
This scenario was bound to happen no matter thunder gave his acc or not.
I have to say that we need to separete hanhan from rest of chinese players. Why? Because there are some decent and fair players among team china.
We sure need to separate Hanhan from other players from team China, but only because they are multy accounts working in their favour, bots if you wish
I am sure that hanhan, skylove and song are diferent players probably using team viewer, just as I am shure that hannibal, cutecat and MOST other top fleeters had multi acc and used team viewer
What ever they doing, they are doing better then rest of players. If we can restart again this uni from merge I would bet all I had that China would win again. That is the truth, because we would like to win but not as hard as they want and that is a sad part. So better sell that deut and build those mines cuz uriel don't deserve to crush Chinese
Universe is dead because of the honesty of the top players, we all know how sheep and company worked in spica and how they ruined that uni, and now they did the same to this uni, back when i played there, they used to farm you for a 1m profit, or just simply bash your planets, if they get crashed or they lose something, the other players in their accounts will simply send them ress to insta rebuild, thats how they do it, shame, it was a nice and fun uni to be in.
what's the red words mean?
I fool u?
I have to say that we need to separete hanhan from rest of chinese players. Why? Because there are some decent and fair players among team china.
I played spica from start and skylove attacked my planet just ONE time and I think he recalled when he saw me online. Other day when I was out of v mode player song MD my deploy moons . He didnt find anything but we had a little chat and he offers and makes two new moons for free. I don't know but in a war game driven by profit that is a nice thing to do to your enemy.
Hanhan ruin Spica and skylove and others just stud by his side.
Searching for good miners acc in cosmos or bellatrix. I have top 10 acc in uriel to offer if I like acc
Don't think Uriel was as simple as not listening to Spica miners, wouldn't have been so one sided if they hadnt picked up the Thunder and Drog accounts, Cutecat got banned and so many people thought they could idle like they did before the merge. SO many picked up bad habbits they coulnd't seem to break, or didn't want to
Week before merge I contacted some of the biggest players form uni that are merging. I told them that we should all work together and offered help in Moon Destruction, tips about their multiacc, online times and the recyclers. Over few months before merge and after I saved around 30 B ress just for that moment.
Do you know what answer I got from them? Yes they all sad we can take this guy out, we dont need your help but if you are with us you will sell us deut and if you and your alliance don't sell we will act as you are with them. My alliance didn't want to sell deut to anyone so we just sit and watch team china do what they did in spica. Some of them crashed and some sold acc but we had great chance to win and there was players ego on the way. They all tought they where the best players around and they didn't need help. No matter if chinese ARE cheating or not I respect their effort from spica to here. Nobody happier then me to see hanhan down but that is not happening soon.
NP. Just I wanted to clear things because song acc got banned too and I think he had some different issue on his
biggest mystery of ogame 9month vmode account got banned no activity can people do pushing in vmode? wow or ghost res sending through ghost vmodes nah my imagination will go wild at this rate but it's fun to see new things
The biggest mystery here is are you stupid or just acting that way. What ress if acc was v moded??? I just explained that it was email problem.
