CHEATING

[anon]

Hello Administrators of SpaceTrace

I have reason to believe that both Penguin of South Pole and Queen of The Borg have been cheating. I believe that their accounts should be terminated immediately.

Penguin cheats off MadCowChuck of Communistica in a battle where 200 of Penguin's destroyers attack NINE of MadCowChuck's motherships. Queen cheats off Darkstone of Medroi in two battles at the same time, where Darkstone has FIFTY-FOUR cruisers and FIVE motherships.

[spacetrace]

some players have bad constructed fleets with many mother ships or unprotected cruisers.

single battles like this can happen.

we are scanning for multi accounts and will delete them if necessary.

by the way... where did you get these battle reports ( it seems they sended them to you !?)

This BR is mine indeed.
I never send it to anyone, so I have no idea how you got it. (Are you both Madcowchuck and Darkstone or did you find a way of viewing other players BR's?).

[untouchable]

How did he manage to get the BRs? Since they state YOUR FLEET 1 FIGHTS AGAINST... the BRs have to belong to Green and Queen!

[Hobbit]

I can tell you, that I KNOW that Queen of the Borg is NOT CHEATING!!!
The player is in my class and so I know him and trust in his play.

Again the Q. Where did you get these Battle Reports???

Bye

Hobbit

[Dougster]

I dont believe either of those player would ever cheat.

I find your posts mysterious and offensive

[Bilerator]

It is idiocy to say of Green Dragon that he is cheating ... who do you think are you talking of ? GD has been playing since the first round and was always one of the best players, and as he says, inactive players with many motherships are quite often, and I wonder how you got those BR's. If we find you, you will see that this was an own goal ^^

[Lord Philemon]

Although I was not in the top ten list last round (had some bad luck...) I can tell you that I would never cheat.
And I also want to know how you got my BR. I didn't send it to anyone and you can't be Darkstone because he was offline since 5d...

[untouchable]

Either one of the admins wrote this message (Don't think so) or there is a security gap in spacetrace!

[peace of love]

@ anon: its quite good that you keep your eyes open to find cheaters.
if the others find this offensive its because its not nice to post that accusals to the forum as they might be wrong.
--> it that case i am sure that penguin didnt cheat ( i dont know the other guy/girl - but i dont think he/she is cheating)
--> better send them to the admins to check it out.
--> i think the admins should state in the forum if any players are banned for cheating
because thats something of interest for the community.
--> as it was said some players dont play clever. so battles like the above might happen. but admins are able to recognize cheating in most cases.

@ penguin & queen: did u maybe post this BRs to an ally or posted it on your ally board ???
--> then maybe not all your allies are on line
--> otherwise i am strongly interested too in that BR-problem...
maybe its the same bug of the last round when i were greendragon and spock ????

greetings

peace of oz.

btw:

greendragon: well funny that penguin stuff but i thought your main tactic were an other one: the very tricky combination of two kinds of ships... ???

but as i am not going for points this round and as your friend i will leave out to post the two counterstrategies against this....


peace

@peace :

I havent posted the BR to anyone anywhere.
If it's the bug you had before it's nice that anon didnt do any damage and I hope he will also report this bug to the admins.

BTW:
I am busy researching them
(half my fleet was at home during the attack )

[admin]

we found a security bug.
although i think it is very difficult to find.

it is fixed now

[admin]

@anon: i am really curious if you found that security gap, because it was really not easy to find. i only found it because i know how the game is programmed.
thank you for revealing this security bug aniway. because without you we wouldn't have searched for it.

(anyway, the bug didnt give whole access to an other players account like that bug, peace spoke of)

[admin]

i would really like to know if we have to take such thoroughly security precautions

[Hobbit]

I don't think so!
I never searched for any security gaps in the game, because I never wanted to hack another player's account! So I believe would no'ne else anyway. So you don't have to do further precaution!
It seems to me like cheating, that this guy "anon" hacked Queen's and GD's acoounts!!!

Bye
