  1. He has done so in the past, feel free to do exactly that. That's already a thing; there's several seconds of delay before trade data is fed to the API at all, and a further delay before any bot actually makes a request. And then on top of that there needs to be an actual person reacting to the information, which is even more delay. You can fix your mistake by checking after each trade, instead of waiting to post all your trades and then checking. There's plenty of time for that. From my testing, the trade bots are apparently nowhere near as prevalent as you guys seem to believe; I had three food buy orders on the market at 2k for an hour Wew. That's pretty generous of you; I'd have at least held the money under sequestration until peace is reached.
  2. What rules...? They're image editing software Personally I use GIMP for anything more advanced than Paint can handle.

  4. So, okay, lemme get this straight... You went to another alliance's discord server, took insult over such strong language as being called "dumb", asked for a moderator role on their discord, was denied that, you complained about it and were muted, and now declare war without actually declaring war, and request everyone else to join your war by raiding their discord yet refraining from any in-game actions? What are you on and where can I get some? ?
  5. Exactly. @Tiberius please stop making me upvote Noctis Incidentally, good to see you've taken my advice and done the embargo thing, so the problem is solved if, as you claim, it's purely TKR that's using trade bots
  6. Alright, sure thing, I'll do another ten rounds and we'll see who else gets an embargo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Okay, seriously, it's taking like 5 minutes for these things to get picked up. If that's the speed of the trade bots then they've got an entirely different problem ? Edit: That's 20 minutes. I'm starting to feel lowkey insulted.
  7. What 'unfair advantage'? You can look at the trade screen and take advantage of the same opportunities. My test trade has been up for like 3 minutes, more than ten times longer than it takes to double-check and delete after making a mistake. Edit: Yep, 4 minutes before it was picked up... by NPO. So which is it? Is taking an unfair trade is a legal action, or is it not? Does profiting by market speculation constitute an 'unfair advantage' in a bannable sense, or not?
  8. Hmm... well, there's a few possible solutions I can think of. We might make it so that trade data doesn't show up on the API for a few seconds. Alternatively, you might try setting your taxes to 100% and be granted what you need to operate by your alliance. Failing that, you could perhaps declare war on TKR and force them to stop using their bot or at least refund your money.
  9. Is that how relevance works? Huh. News to me
  10. Confirmed, space and tab worked and I got it done in record time
  11. Torture TKR with a whole bunch of election rigging BS for memes. Enumerated ideas: 1. Voters have to send in a hand-written ballot to a specific PO box 2. Voters must show an actual ID to vote 3. Voters are assigned a "district" randomly, and their district votes to determine which way the district votes 4. Voters are assigned a "district" by BK, and they have no say in the matter 5. Voters must get a doctors' note to certify that they're of sound mind 6. Voters vote for their preferences in order, instant runoff style. Then their votes are counted in reverse order (last choice is counted as first choice etc.) 7. Voters vote for their suggestions, which are forwarded to NPO, who then decides who actually wins 8. Voters have to pay $1m to Fraggle in order to vote, but if they pay $10m they can vote twice 9. Voters must vote for their preferences in order, instant runoff style... but they have to submit a confirmation ballot after the main ballots are counted 10. TKR and TKR allied votes count for 3/5ths of a vote 11. Everyone's votes are fairly counted, but anyone that votes against IQ gets rolled
  12. We'd have to ensure that each individual vote is both different, and inconvenient/flawed in a different way. One is mandatory mail-in, one requires a government ID, there's a poll tax for one, you need a doctor to certify competence to vote for another, proof of highschool education, two are ranked voting and one has a manual run-off instead of actually using the rankings each voter submitted in the first place...
  13. Is that a thing? Well, now I know for the future, thx :3
  14. It took me ten hecking minutes to vote for everyone, I will not forgive you for this >:|
  15. Well, there's the API data and there is (or at least was, I don't remember how to actually get to it) a tracker for some things like munitions usage in the past week, so the infrastructure does in fact exist on-site for the stats already. The issue with them is the same as the issue with the forum: They can be improved, and members of the community have stepped up to put in the effort and actually do so.
  16. I'm not saying I don't trust your stats; for what its worth I do trust your stats. There's no reason to believe you have any malicious intent on any level, and thus you should have the benefit of the doubt. What I'm pointing out is how stupid the complaints and the mistrust of someone else's offsite service is, considering the existence of your own offsite service. Trust shouldn't be assumed, sure, but nor should it be denied when there's no reason to assume malice, and this absolutely should work both ways.
  17. And who's to say that terms of service can't be falsified? It's just a text variable, like anything else on any other site, so why should we trust that part of the site more highly than any other part of it?
  18. Well, does https://npowned.net/ track IPs? How do you know? Hmm? And how do you know that the attack data is being collected honestly?
  19. That's why I said "like" the GDPR; the point I'm trying to make here is that websites are expected to maintain certain standards. Telling people when and how their email addresses and IP are stored and used is one thing, but telling people that they've visited a website when they've visited a website is a tad over the top when it comes to nanny-state bullcrap. I would have to cry if there's any laws that mandate that sites notify you if they're not harvesting your data.
  20. Dude... the default state of the internet is 'not private', that's just a fact. The vast majority of websites have terms of service that are voluntarily agreed to by virtue of using said site, and they don't always need to nor do specify that, since there are laws like the GDPR and whatnot that define reasonable behaviors that websites are simply expected to adhere to. When's the last time you saw a ToS when you googled something? What, do you want a little clickthrough dialog that tells you that the link you clicked is in fact a link and goes to the spot that it says it goes to? People like you are why chainsaws have warning labels emblazoned "keep operating components away from hands and genitals".
  21. Yes, people can indeed vote multiple times if they've used a VPN to ensure their security to make cheat accounts in P&W. People shouldn't do that, but here we are.
  22. It is indeed exploitable; I've seen that kind of mechanic abused to heck all the time. Bring back fortify tho T^T
  23. Zero upvotes. Everyone that reacted has nothing to say but ❤️
