Lucky results for you man.

Shame it doesn't mean much when he can just buy more DS from his "friend" for min metal.

Post lock incoming in 3....2....1...

Warned for Trolling

- Madoka

After you're done with C19 do the server a favor and cure it of SDI as well. Thanks.

Posting at the request of Pink Lady since apparently she's busy killing more fleet.

.... why would you post this? I mean, good kills, but this is loss.

Obligatory comment about the hit so Madoka doesn't warn me for off topic: Nice "totally legit" hit you guys got there. not at all suspicious that the two hits you got were accounts that had been vmoded for days and you hit them as soon as they came out. Not at all. Not even going to specifically say what I'm alluding to, because everyone knows what I mean.

Had our uni SGO talk to me in discord about a ticket I had filed 48 hours ago.

He proceeded to waste my time telling me how to file the ticket I had already told him I filed. Then threatened to ignore my ticket. Professional.

So now I'm waiting for it to get bumped up a level above him so I can talk to someone that's on GF's payroll.

Warned for breach of rules

- Madoka

Been watching him a few days. found an opportunity and launche dlike 600 IPMs on him to clear a bunch of DEF to make this as profitable as it was.

he managed to save his main fleet, but that's okay, I still got the majority.

FR defender, thanks for the banter in PM.

How about you use your contacts in the system to pas this post on to a CoMa so they can do something about it?

OH WAIT.

That would be doing something helpful.

Because it's impossible to get a GF employee's attention regarding this game unless you're staff.

I wrote a ticket once, adressed to the CoMa. It got closed without even so much as a reply.

I have zero faith in the system working the way it is intended. so if you want a CoMa to read this as feedback, Tell them to.

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.

"1) fleet save and 2) go after the cheaters. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands."

1. We do fleetsave. (not that it's safe when they can literally MD every one of your moons in one night)

2. We are going after them. (but one cannot fight against the way of the wind)

Works when you can manage to keep up with someone who has several multiaccounts? I think not...

They can literally mobile in, print a moon and a jumpgate and MD any moon they want at any time.

There is no safety for anyone as long as they're able to do this. Real people have to sleep sometime.

People with activity scripts and multiple accounts do not.

These guys are literally setting scripts to probe certain places as soon as they pop activity.

In this case with the use of the market, it doesn't matter if we hit the cheaters, they will just buy more fleet from their multiaccounts and move back up several billion points within the same day.

You want to talk about cheaters in Zibal? Try a day in our shoes on Octans, It isn't fun anymore. Regular players are playing OGame. The suspects in question are playing Moon Deletion Simulator 2020.

The Marketplace feature has empowered cheaters. They can have 6 bots running and building fleet for them at a time, buy the fleet for minimum metal price and keep growing through being hit.

You can literally go and look at certain peoples point gains the day after they get hit for a large amount of fleet and watch them soar back up. That's fishy.

One of the suspected cheaters almost got crashed by some other suspects the other day, and he was BANNED in the middle of his fleet being locked. That's fishy.

I have seen people send in tickets with hard evidence of people admitting to cheating. And those same people are still playing in the server to this day. That's fishy.

I have seen screenshots of certain people trying to sell their accounts, and screenshots of certain people offering to buy them. This has been reported, and ignored. That's fishy.

The Ban hammer isn't just "not smashing constantly" in this universe, it's not smashing seemingly at all. Except when it's convenient for certain folk.... That's fishy.

If you think they would actually take me as a GO I will seriously consider sitting in for an interview.

An open letter to the players, GO's and Board Moderators of Octans.

We have the "best" GO team and the "best" board moderators. (I'm not attacking you guys, just please at least read all of what I have to say before censoring and banning me)

I get it. You're volunteers. And the job probably isn't that great with people like me running around.

But if you're just going to sit around all day banning the innocent people, are you really moderators? Or are you enablers?

If we're not allowed to talk about the problem ANYWHERE EVER, then the problem will continue to be just that. A problem.

But wait! Aren't we allowed to report suspicious activities from certain folk without fear of reprisals from moderators?

Yes fellow OGamer! you are! Through the use of a horribly outdated ticket based customer service system.

(Which I may add has failed this universe from day one.) (I myself was banned for bashing AND lost my fleet because the GO (whom I will not mention by name) didn't even bother to read how many times I actually attacked the player in question, and thanks to the ancient ticket system I was unbanned while offline, with my account unvmoded.) This is one of many horror stories involving the outdated ticket system.

I'm not directly accusing anyone in particular, so this post should be fine, yes? (But I'll get a ban anyways.)

I have this marked as a spam thread, so as long as nobody here mentions or accuses anyone by name, I think we should be allowed to discuss, yes? (It'll get censored anyways)

But then again, maybe not. Because more and more it's seeming like we, the legit players are the priority targets of GO's and Board Moderators. (you could always just prove me wrong and pull the trigger on the people you know are cheating, but I guess you'd rather not for some reason? Care to explain it?) Because at this point we all believe some of you guys are in league with the cheaters. It's happened before. I'd love to give you guys the benefit of the doubt, but with this level of censorship and draconian punishment, you're either the Chinese government, corrupt, or you just do not care.

If you're the Chinese government, spot on job of oppressing and censoring your playerbase. (but you aren't, are you?)

If you're corrupt or complicit in the problem, shame on you. (I personally seriously doubt you are, but you might be able to see why people think you are, if you step back and take a look at your track record)

And if you don't care, maybe you shouldn't be volunteering to moderate this game that all of these players love. (But you do care, dont you?)

Granted the Mods aren't unjustified in some of their actions, we (the players) do have to obey the rules, and some of us (even apparently myself) have not been doing so to the letter of the law.

But neither have the obvious cheaters. And yet we're consistently the ones being punished.

This isn't working. The system is broken. Our GO's and board mods shouldn't be volunteers. They should be getting paid for what they do. Every other game has actual employees moderating it, or an anticheat system.

A majority of them are good people I am sure. But the average player isn't feeling that love from the teams right now. (you guys can easily fix this by stopping what you're doing)

Going down every post giving everyone who is upset that they have to try and keep up and otherwise survive just on a day to day basis a warning or a mute isn't the way to go about this Board Mods. (I have these on every post so I guess I'll do one here again even though it's not necessary because why not?)

I get it's frustrating, but you're just going to get more people whipped up into a frenzy. (And if this continues, nobody wins, and your job gets harder.)

Until something is done about the cheaters, things will only get worse. (People can only play a game with cheaters in it for so long before they: A. get crashed and end up feeding the cheaters. Or B. Vmode and quit forever, as so many have already done.)

This server will die eventually. (But as it stands now, it will die soon. Especially if everyone continues on this current path.)

I've seen cheaters go unchecked in servers. And do you know what happens? The server dies within a year. Every time.

But we have a right to be angry about the failures of this games "support system." It hasn't just failed the players, it's failed the moderators.

As of now, I'm done filing tickets related to these issues, because nothing will come of them. And after the end of this post, I'm done discussing it on the forums.

If you guys want to discuss this with me where we can be free from all the draconian board rules, I invite you all to a discord server I have made specifically for this purpose.

You can also set your discord to always appear offline so people can't read your online times, if that's something that worries you about discord.

If any cheaters, suspected cheaters or people discussing how to cheat are discovered to be in this discord, I will purge them immediately.

For the purposes of security, (and to avoid someone using a multiaccount to join) please message me in game for a discord invite. You can contact me at: Last Pale Light

This will be my last board post on this subject, and I hope it will do something to quell the rising tides of people as ticked off as I am. I'd appreciate it if I didn't get banned for it, but again, I'm pretty sure I will.

Good hit! Glad I was awake to see it happen

you can set your discord profile to appear offline at all times.

in a public channel for OGame, I advise doing this.

To my surprise, one hundred stories high

People getting loose y'all, getting down on the roof

Folks are screaming, out of control

It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode

I heard somebody say
disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

(Burn baby burn) disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

(Burnin')

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct

The heat was on, rising to the top

Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot

I heard somebody say
disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down y'all

(Burn baby burn) disco inferno

(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head

I hear music in the air

That makes me know

There's a party somewhere

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction

I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct

Roll on ThePacifist

Imagine being in the #1 alliance and not even being able to protect yourself.

This meme brought to you by the Disco Boys.

Don't worry. I'll hit another one soon enough. Can't stand these Jive Turkeys.

Good kill man!

Somebody's gotta teach this uni how to fleetsave properly....

Hallowed are the Expos, Hallowed are the Disco Boys!

Disco Boys forever!

Some of my Disco Boys told me this Jive Turkey was talking smack. so I decided to go see if he could hang.

I went stealth mode and moved in for the kill and.....

I was hoping it would be harder to get him, was planning on intercepting a fleetsave of his....

But tonight, he elected NOT to fleetsave.

Had to launch with so little fodder to capitalize as quickly as I could.

Bloody victory, but Victory nonetheless.

Had to borrow some recs from my fellow Disco Boys Primer and FleetsavedMyCar

Thanks guys!

Some of the hottest funk I've seen from you so far Paci.

Keep it grooving baby.
