What little dick nobody takes the time attacking a server with 40-50 users playing a 20 year old game is what I want to know

--> A child throwing a tantrum because nobody likes them.

OK EVERYONE, IN THE MEANTIME LOG ON TO THE Mousetopher Server AND KEEP GAMING.

Just shange the [Select Gateway] thing bafore you hit [Connect].


@iL if there's anything I can do to help please contact me, I will do what I can. Have you changed the DNS entry to an invalid address? If the attack is continuing that might possibly cause any proxies to get sick of the abusive traffic... worth a try.

Assholes 

I don't suppose you can examine what was written to the disk so you can locate the source? .... perhaps a local script or cgi prog that is being abused?

My take on the whole cryptocurrency investment thing. I'm not an expert at all and don't pretend to be. Would be interested to know what you guys think.

What we have been seeing over the last few years is similar to the dotcom boom of the late '90s, in that it's predominantly people investing in something that they don't understand because it is showing exceptional growth. Ofc the investment then drives the price, which creates an artificial bubble around the whole sector.

However this chicken and egg scenario didn't start out of nothing, it started because there definately IS something there, just ask anyone who invested in FB or Google in the '90s - they invested in something real and got massive returns. However a lot of people who INVESTED in 'dotcom' stocks that they didn't really understand lost a truely massive amount of money, once the dust settled and people realized that those companies weren't realy doing anything other than being traded.

There were also people who made a lot of money TRADING 'nothing' dotcom stocks, but the made sure they weren't left holding the ball when the crash happened. I would expect a similar scenario to play out with the cryptocurrency thing.

Lets face it with a few well timed purchases and sales any one of us could have retired to a very rich lifestyle by now, so it can't be said that these things aren't worth the risk of trading, if you're smart and watchful. Also it seems quite possible that some form of cryptocurrency will end up being the global currency at some point in the future, in that case getting on board the right horse at the right time and sticking to it would set up your family for generations to come. But does the winning 'horse' even exist yet?

CC has just entered a new phase which generated the most recent bubble and the notoriety from that bubble will drive the next one. What has happened is that CC has gone from being "that bitcoin thing" to (enough) people realising that multiple CCs exist and can exist, and people have started creating and trading new CCs. Expect more new ones in the near future. While there is still enough general confusion about what they are there may be money to be made buying brand new ones at very low rates and dumping them very shortly afterwards. Don't get greedy here some (probably most) of them will tank very badly before too long.

Another possible thing to watch for is when some of the big banks/powerbrokers get together and work out how create their own CC that they can manipulate (has this already happened idk?). In this scenario it would eventually come down to a battle between this 'big money' CC and the largest of the 'free' CCs (currently bitcoin?).

Anyway, as far as the current market and existing CCs go, for any real investment (as against short term trading) I would strongly reccommend looking at one thing: which ones are actully being used. Which ones are actually being exchanged for goods &/or services? Like the dotcom boom there will at some point be a "the emperor has no clothes" moment and past that point anything that can't actually be exchanged for something real (not just other cryptocurrancy) will become instantly worthless.

There are also 2 other totaly leftfield factors to consider:

  1) Quantum computing. It's still in it's infancy but there is genuine progress being made in the field. For example there's an Australian scientist that virtually has an open cheque from the govornment here and is almost ready to test a rig that has 10 quantum bits, each one based on an individual atom. IDK enough about it to forecast anything, but I do know that a major breakthrough in quantum computing would mean that CC mining would be pretty much instantly smashed open by the first quantum rig that is put to the task. Somethig to think about.

  2) Sabotage. Again I'm not an expert in the technical side of CC, but one thing I do know is that whenever there is that much money involved, let alone something that could even be imagined to be a threat to the people who control the world's finances, that no holds are barred. Anything that can be done has a very real chance of being done, if it benefits the right people. This includes but is not limited to: cyber attacks, the physical bombing of server farms, deliberate monetary and/or legislative interference/sabotage to the system, covert interception and hijacking of transactions and whatever else anyone can dream up. IDK if any individual one of these can or will happen but when there's enough zeros on the end of a transaction things get crazy. How may people in the world would happily organize another 9/11 if they got a trillion dollars for it?

In the interest of honesty, I'm not sure if I can claim the 5 points for flying-machines being "involved". It was szwagier who had the story about flying machines, which I didn't even bother mentioning because, well quite frankly these guys from poland have some really weird obcessions about stuff with wings (dwarf fliers, chickens, airplanes etc.) When I think about it I picture them standing on top of a shed roof flapping their arms and looking up at the sky longingly, so I try not to think about it. I did post a pic of a busted-ass old ultralight but that was just an analogy for claw's lame ass hacks after he started bragging and had nothing to do with any accusations. But if we're still playing I want big points for THESE: I used a macro to spam those BTW

Ok well at this point I'll sign off from this discussion.

Admins feel free to delete this thread, when and if you feel that is appropriate. I think it's probably for the best.

You know how to get in touch with me if you want to proceed. You can message me through the forum or via my personal email. TBH I probably check the forum more often so you can PM me here and tell me to check my email if you want.

You would be surprised how many top players have actually done just this. I remember Shotgun once quizzing me asking "how many bags of gold are in 12.""How long does it take for 2 to run out." Players do actually fight down to the steps of peons.

Really? Well like I say, I don't want to spoil anyone's fun I'm surprised because every time I chat to a wannabe hacker the first thing they want to know is how to find out where all the units are... and no I don't tell them. I also don't talk about anything people share with me in confidence, if I did this would have been a much shorter conversation. If people know how to access all the info why would anyone be relying on gold counting to get info on other players' troop production? I'm happy to play the game, provided we all agree on what the game is.

I'd have to think that surely there's 600 bags of gold in 12. Each bag removes 100 gold regardless of the amount of tech bonus recieved when you drop them off. Of course this assumes that you only remove each bag from the mine once. A better question might be how much gold can you get out of 12? This depends on when you upgrade, what the tech bonuses are and how many times you drop each bag of gold off at your hall.

Actually I saw a classic micro fail the other day, made me LMAO. Early in a gow game. 12 had rushed grunts into 2's gold line. The guy defending 2 got a grunt and was trying to kill off the couple of attackers that were left. He was doing ok until he accidentally killed one of his own peons that was walking past with a bag of gold. Honestly I nearly fell out of my seat laughing.

wish i could play but i cant..mommy said it was the devil 

Awww....  your mommy's mean

The current AH does do something. Are there ways around it sure. IL is fairly busy however he has indicated he is willing to accept help from outside sources to speed things along.
If you are able to make a better AH I invite you to do just that. Idk what happened 4 years ago but I will tell you if you are able to make a better AH the community would love to see it.

Finally I will say there is no actual proof u8 hacks.
Players are allowed to voice suspicions of top players however without actual evidence it doesn't make sense to continually voice their suspicions. 

For an AH to have any real effect, it has to be mandatory. The server must refuse to let other clients connect.

I don't want to spoil everyone's fun. If more people want to hack, then so be it - HF. I also don't want to waste my time if the server is going to selectively whitelist players. If anyone has concerns about my playing they can always contact me, I'm quite approachable.

Of course I know what the gamebot does. It's a nice idea although it rarely, if ever, gets used. My (rhetorical) question was why, when it is clearly a bot being controlled by a script does it get cleared by the AH?

I don't continually accuse people. In fact I pretty much NEVER accuse people. There was one guy a while ago who was mapping and being an ass about it, but as I said at the time it was more because he was being an ass about it then because he was a nooby map hacker. This thread was prompted by Grand Master Heinrich Haxzalot accusing me.

Its only been a few days, and some people may be away for the silly season so once everyone has a chance to decide what they want this thread can be deleted (or not, idc) and I will go back to shutting the hell up about it and either work on fixing the AH or not.

TBH I'm kind of hoping I don't have to do it because it's a lot of work and I have pleanty of other things I'd rather be doing, but if it comes down to it I will. So really Mr. Claw, it's in your best interests to just stfu and hope this goes away eh?
