Yes, that's a glitch. Every single war, he fortifies at 3:14, then waits until 12:00ish and then spams naval strikes. Something ain't right there. That seems like an exploit to me.

So if u read this topic you will see that this exploit / bug is hard to do, furthermore it actually rarely happens (Alex's words), the idea that one person would will it off multiple times is a bit of a stretch. Sure one time, prob a glitch, 2 times your unlucky, 3 times your prob cheating 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it a ton in a ton of instances repeatedly and make it really obvious? I'm not accusing T$ of cheating, I'm pointing out something that seems flawed in the actions of one individual member, but that does not necessarily mean T$ is not involved in it and is just trying to avoid getting attention for it as a whole.

The way your sentence read was essentially "It has to be a bug, because not eveyone is doing it" I then simply explained, most people wont exploit a bug because they dont want to be banned 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Xun Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The dumbest thing is that this isn't going to change the outcome of the war. Alex will pick up on it, revert the incident, perhaps issue nation strikes, and Syndicate either continues getting rolled or someone drops in to rescue. 4 .

The same strategy that is incapable of working. Each strike costs 4 MAPs. Doing multiple attacks in a row like that would cost more MAPs than you can save up. That isn't a strategy, that's an exploit. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be just online at those times or he waits for the new server day, and decides to use the same legitimate strategy (fortify and naval). He stated on Discord that he has a bad internet connection, and that he had to refresh the war page a few times. There is no need to make assumptions. But yes, it's a terrible bug...

There are many people who play this game with a bad connection, however I do not see this problem happening 3 times in short succession to the same person. 3 Haatyc or'arue jate'shya ori'sol aru'ike nuhaatyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightKnight Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) @Josh of Clan Mason If you think a member cheated, why shred his reputation with a personal strike here when you do not have all the facts? Why not go to the place an exploit should be reported, and why immediately post assuming it was automatically "some alliance" cheating? If you have a problem, it shouldn't be posted on the forums for a public shaming before the fate is even decided, it should be left to Alex to figure out the situation. Shouldn't everyone be given the benefit of the doubt? Or is everyone guilty until proven innocent.....? A good member was hurt today because of your assumption before the facts.

You really ought to drop the in character act for a moment and recognize that what we have here is a reproducible issue with the game that is being exploited and the people doing so have been busted by other players. Maybe what you should be doing instead is telling your people to cut the shit before they all are staring a ban hammer in the face. But hey, if you would rather thin your herd of players a bit instead, by all means, sorry to have bothered your magnificence.

Okay, well considering that Alex was contacted immediately (by the accused) following the 'cheating' to report it, as can be confirmed by Alex himself, it would be pretty ridiculous to think that it was intentional. But hey, if you guys want to round up the lynch mob then be my guest. But now people are threatening the life of our member over an accusation without any proof of intent in a video game, and its because people like you call for a hanging without knowing any of the facts other than something happened that shouldn't have happened, and it benefited someone you don't like.

Given that there was multiple instances of this in short succession from the same person, along with more attacks being executed than the ones that were reported, it is reasonable to come to the conclusion that the bug was used with the intent of gaining an unfair advantage. Furthermore, if was a consistent problem for the member in question, why didn't he file a bug report? 3 1 Haatyc or'arue jate'shya ori'sol aru'ike nuhaatyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
