Good way to confuse a planet stealer

Spy on him for planets...


In my opinion something should be done about things like that...

You are right, but you can still deduct which is which.

Re: Good way to confuse a planet stealer

It is easy to choose a planet..

i.e.

You spy on him and you seen that the 3rd planet has 0 defense and 5k UP.

When u go back to the attack page u can select the 3rd planet on the list.
You do not have to focus on the names, just on the order of the planets.

In PhP, ; means to break to the next line. If you check the spy log, there's no ;'s in the name.

Re: Good way to confuse a planet stealer

I dont get the problem what is wrong he wants to do that,let him.

If you have a problem with that go look for some other planets or something because banning everything someone doesnt like is rediculous.

Re: Good way to confuse a planet stealer

No one said anything about banning...
Also I didnt say I dont know which is which...just had to adjust and it took time...
I agree its up to him how to name them...I just pointed out that admin should perhaps consider doing smth about it (like preventing the use of ; or smth like that) anyways he has more imporatnt stuff to do like finally releasing the casulties meter and such...

Just a notion...not ALERT or PANIC ;)

Apparently the planet name is a place to insert code, so what would happen if I was to insert different code? I can think of a few really good opportunities here.

Or putting ?> before every planet name and <?php after them. ;)

Re: Good way to confuse a planet stealer

I wonder what's wrong to confuse planet stealers when for monthes we tried to limitate anarchy of planet stealing?
And removing "funny" characters is not cool, without them planet names are BORING!!
What's better?

Right off the top of my head I can think of about 500 scripts that would fit in a planet name that I could insert into the hole if admin was to allow funny characters in planet names.
