Title: Cheating
Post by: Bakster on February 12, 2006, 07:36:57 PM
I'm sure everyone already knows this, but just to clarify:

I just realised you can log in a guest name at the same time as your main name...which makes for easy cheating.

I never actually played myself (because I am honorable ;D), and I am sure matlu has his ways of detecting it.

However, should there be an IP block feature that stops the same IP logging in twice?

Bakster, two people from same IP cannot enter same *rated* game

Heheheh fool  ;)

But what is interesting is that if you are playing a game, and someone else logs in as you, you get booted and they take your place in game.  ;D
Can occasionally be funny.  :)

Noooo! That was a selective group's secret. Way to open your big mouth, dumb-butt.

In fact this is a feature, which took quite long to program. The purpose was, that you can reconnect if your web-browser crashed or something similar happened.
The thing I don't understand is, why should you know someone else's password. Of course if somebody tells his password to someone else, he cannot wonder that "bad things happens".

I thought it might be that. And in no circumstances should anyone know anyone elses password...In fact it wasn't me, it was a friend...and I wasn't even there when I did it.  :-\

me and  guest found a way where we can enter one of our games and play as one of our commanders, after we were already in the game.

I don't understand? So you're saying that you started a 1v1 game and played as your commanders like you normally do? ???

They were throw-away accounts, so it doesnt matter. Also, two computers can be in a rated game this way. Just to let you know.

Also, I would recommend deleting this topic. While I agree that features should be common knowledge, this one shouldn't. It would be very easy to cheat with this.

No one listens to The Guest. Just wait til you see 30 completely new people on the high scores. Then you will listen! You will all listen! Muahaha! Muahahahaha! Muhahaha.
