I do routine spot checks on many active players and the latest to be caught in my net is Tintin. His script responded predictably a dozen times or so in response to a subtle change in his environment. For punishment as per the posted rules, 29 stars have been seized and 21 bots have been locked and reset:

  • Tintin
  • BammBamm
  • Tintinmastah
  • Redbeer
  • Emanuelle
  • Lance
  • Prophane
  • Kabala
  • Hore1
  • Hore2
  • Hore3
  • Hore4
  • Hore5
  • Cili
  • Cecilie
  • Darth Petter
  • Spamoncan
  • Chuck Norris
  • Cantona
  • Ole Gunnar
  • Wayne

I was sad to have to do this because I like Tintin and he's contributed to the game quite a bit. There was also a healthy clan race this month between Eternal and Civilian that is now all but over. Unfortunately, rules are rules and they must be upheld if the integrity of the game is to remain intact.

I am becoming increasingly efficient at this. If you cheat, you will be caught and punished. Stop wasting my time.

Sad face x 1000 Some days I kindof think of myself as like the only person that actually plays this game legitimately.

All I got to say is Tintin, you've been a naughty, naughty boy. You deserve so much spanking ^_^

why is everyone so surprised of this outcome? it is a bore activity to sit and click a link, sooner or late everyone figures it out and starts cheating due to the competition (clans, leveling).

This game is more prone to cheating than others, because people are competitive, but there is just no way one can sit in his damn chair and click the same link endlessly, unless, you are mentally challenged

That's an incredibly cynical statement.

I, for one, am mentally challenged by your claim considering how much I played bots2. So are a lot of other people too because I do spot checks on tons of players and the overwhelming majority of people are clean. There will always be a small percentage of rotten apples, but most of the hardcore players here don't stare at their screen and watch battles unfold - they play bots while playing other MMOs, watching movies, etc. That's what I did anyway. Sitting at the computer all day might make us losers to some (here I am on a Saturday night in NYC), but some of us end up acquiring useful skills along the way that land us comfy jobs at cool companies.

But I digress. I can never ignore "you play games too much, therefore you must have no life" trollbait. What really matters here is that the rotten apples are caught and thrown out, which is what happened.

Such a dissapointment.

They gave us the biggest challenge yet and then to find out he has done this as a clan leader is just madness. The comment about mentally challenged, like Ender said, is completely cynical.

I was engrossed in this clan race completely, pouring hours and hours of spare time to getting as much energy as possible, yes I did sit in front of computer clicking. On top of this and to silence anyone who wants to say that Eternal (or anyone going for #1 spot) don't have lives is complete and utter bullshit.

I have a life, I have a girlfriend who I still spend a lot of time with, a 8 hour a day job and a social life. It is hard work managing all of them at the same time as bots, but I've still managed to pull it off. Anyone who comes on here and claims any of the biggest competitors are retarded losers with no life outside of bots are clueless. And any argument that people resort to scripts to win are "too cool to just sit and click, I've got a life" is nonsense.

The biggest losers on this game are the cheaters, and in this case a massive fucking loser for making people like Albania, freakster, Whiskeyclone and all the rest work really hard and legitimately only to have a chance of victory taken from them because their own clan leader was a script using wanker.

I have massive sympathy for Civilian at the moment and I hope they can bounce back from this, they still are a team of dedicated players that didn't deserve this.

While I feel that post is highly unneccessary cause I think Tintin is genuinely a good guy, I do appreciate the sentiment behind it Champion. We worked really hard and it's a shame that what was such an epic month is tarnished by this.

Kudos to Eternal, you guys deserve it.

If you think this game is so "hard" that it requires you focusing all your attention on clicking links, then sad to break it to you but you are very far down on the compentency spectrum. This game is incredibly easy to play while doing other stuff.

If you think that excelling at it requires that much, well hard for someone with your poor skill set maybe. Regardless of how hard it is for someone with your handicap, the general population with at least decent hand-eye coordination and a brain that can handle basic multitasking, when coupled with free time/a lot of time at a computer and good time management, can excel at this game. Anyone can, if they have the will to do so.

So talk that "no one can do that without cheating" is for the weak. You can't maybe, but that's because you suck.

What the fuck, check your grammar man.

It makes perfect sense DNM, he is saying you should have used 'to' if you were giving the +1 to Neps. If you were also +1ing then 'too' would be correct.

Gonna agree with DNM... that sentence makes no sense to me. It's ironic he's talking about grammar but the grammar in that sentence is lacking. :)

You guys both need to work on your grammar then, cause it makes perfect sense and is also grammatically correct.

Okay, okay, it's grammatically correct, it just didn't make any fucking sense because of the context.

unless of course he had said +1 and you were saying that you are +1ing as well, then it's of course "too".

Much better *excuse mode off*
