Scripted Dwarves sheperds

[repmes]

U probably all noticed that we got suddenly around 1000 ppl more in 24 hours. Much too beautiful to be true, lol.

So instead - spending time to delete real and actives ppl because they play the game the way he is designed ( ambush so-calling bug), -
- punish real and actives players who waked up at 4 am to play and logged in a total mess and had fun with what left to them ...a funny small bug in a predicted, tremendous global BIG ONE.

Is that possible to spend time to delete those scripted provos ? Starting with the Dwarves Shepards for example, around 300 from what I heard.

They are made by Sean and Brian to make the game start again once it fails on oop. They are going to suspend the scripted dorfs and blame it on them.

There has been some scripting noted (not quite in the order of the problem last age - thanks to the improvements to our tools). We're looking into it. If you note any other bizarre influxes let us know.

[beeper]

nope, those are game's future after real players quit ; they never complain, never cheat, need no fun

[Thunder TA]

defending cheats still serves no purpose whether abusing bugs or scrypting

Hmm, I was under the impression that all new signups got reviewed? How could this many slip through if that is the case?

[Luth]

and why is there not a captcha placed on prov creation???? that seems like the minimal thing that could be done to stop at least some of it.

[Evogasm]

^^ Now you see thats a great idea. An answer to an ongoing problem. I hope to see that in place soon.

Huh.. I thought there was a captcha a while ago.. did they get rid of it?

[Maeldun]

There is a captcha to create a province I think.

I reckon they should put one to log on every time aswell.
You could even do it on every action you do, but that is way too extreme and would piss off the player base no doubt. But on every logon is not so bad, only have to do it once. I think people would react positively to this.

Every login is worth it to get rid of scripters.. I would'nt mind offer 5 seconds extra at every login anyway

Attack them! =]

There is a captcha for mast acct creation, but not prov creation. i believe it needs to be on prov creation and every login. it won't stop the problem, but i believe it will at least put a crimp in the scripting activities.

It should not be to hard to implement.. And its a good start.

and these provs will hit killers and banks i reckon, or maybe some KD going for top nw.
=( get ridd of them NOW!
