Possible script/multi
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 5:43 am
It would seem I'm back in business.
While farming today, I came across a name I had seen in the alliance logs shortly before - 0 def, some naq out, so I took it. When I returned to the battlefield I saw he had more naq out, so I attacked him again. I did this several times until after turn change (he didn't react in any way and kept farming), then moved on; after a few pages, I ran across another account with naq out, so I attacked this one too a couple of times, then I became really suspicious of this coincidence.
I spied both of them, a couple of other accounts from the incoming alliance logs and one more I came across looking through that ID range - for a total of 5 accounts within less than 200 IDs. I'm pretty sure they are using some sort of script for farming, and were possibly created by the same person to feed another account with naq. My reasons for believing this:
- I have witnessed them farming for several turns - attacking for small amounts (about 15 bil. per hit), repairing after a couple of successful hits and quickly banking; the ones I attacked did nothing to prevent me from repeatedly stealing their naq - no angry messages, no attacks on me, they didn't even stop for one minute after several attacks on them
- three of them have attacked one of our alliance members repeatedly over several hours, losing each time
- all of them have close IDs (two of them consecutive) and Slavic names (Slovenian, if my Google-fu is to be trusted)
- all of them have 30+ mil. army sizes, 32 or 33 covert skill (for bank size, I would assume), 0 def and lots of attack turns (16998, 28749, 56998 - not to mention a lot of personals used for farming)
I am not posting the IDs or names here to avoid tempting others (a couple of them were still farming when I spied them), but I would be quite happy to forward the info to a game admin or to Clarkey in order to stop these bots. The naq I took from the first two can, of course, be removed from my bank after they are proven to be cheating.
