stop cheating, now !

[spacetrace]

thx for your support.

here some additional hints:

- help noobs in irc and let them join into your alliance (ot tell them how to form one) like this:
-> negative score isn't a problem
-> fun is the confrontaion (space batteling) against real players
- be sure your alliance members play fair
- try to describe why the rules make sense, and why gaming only with rules makes sense (do yu know a game without rules ???
---> this leads to... this is a game , not real life!!
-> always keep a cool head and
avoid witch hunting...a bad atmosphere...

(but on the battlefield ... show em what you got )
thx



------------------------------
there should be always the possibilty to join spacetrace from outside just by fortune
(best: in a friendly atmossphere)

No problem, so if any noob has questions or needs help just send me a pm or ICQ-Message or E-Mail.

[blackmagic]

Isn't there any way that you can use cookies to keep some people out? It might not work so well but it's something. So then you will have two defences. Cookies and e-mail

[BladeTech]

i think blackmagic's idea should work.
BladeTech =)

[pidjipi]

nice idea, but deleting a cookie is really simple...

but it could be nice...

[BladeTech]

well thatz true too. =)
BladeTech

[blackmagic]

Yes thats true but somepeople don't know that cookies keep them from muli-accounting So its a little barrier

[Metody I The Evil]

There can be little troubles created for the multys without the normal players being affected...

I don't know if it's done yet, but maybe it's a good idea if the logon password can't be the same for two players... And stuff like that that make it a little bit difficult for them to do it...

And yes, the anti-cheaters alliance can be considered created... This forum should be the place where we post our suspicions... And PM everybody the attack-codes&times of attack...

[dragonfly]

i think i have a prob.
i use trace with a lan!
the lan have 7 pc´s!
three of them play trace!!
will i have probs. in the future??

[pidjipi]

my question :

to the alliance fremen :
piber of piberworld
piber2 of piber2

multi-account?

and alliance matrix :

f1 of f1
f2 of f2
f3 of f3
f4 of f4
f5 of f5

multi too ?

please make an answer...

[spacetrace]

for now we reached maximum number of players ( 610 )

!!!!! all multi-players must delete their multiple accounts to let real players join spacetrace!!!!!


i think in addition to that you should delete your account if you have cheated this round !!!


but if you wanna play fair from now on you can ask us to reset your score to 0

[pidjipi]

hey admin, does the account of f1 to f5 have been deleted?

coz they haven't play for long and seams to be multiple...

the alliance matrix (cf previous post) (f1 of f1, f2 of f2, ..., f5 of f5)

[spacetrace]

i i would delete that mulit-accounts i would sit here 3 days!!!

the players must do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pidjipi]

and how long is needed for an account to be considered as obsolete ?

after 5 day of inactivity, we can delete it ?

[dragonfly]

after 8 days it will abandoned.

if some1 deleted his/her accounts the planet will be set to 5 days inactive... after 3 days it's abandoned then.

(just a security period)

[Luis Abhorash]

Yeah admin, I think the accounts who get more than(let's say 20 days) of inactivity(maybe they are on vacation) must be deleted becuase they probably forgot erase their accounts and go out
that's what I think.
cya all

another thing...

to detect a multiaccount we need about 1 hour (checking out all stuff in the database + reading battle-reports and so on)
(becasue deleting accounts without a 99% evidence is a desaster)


there is no possibility to do that automatic...

that means we can only do something in emergency cases... but after all that is crap and it makes me angry and stuff

so we will not do it !
