[Cheater] tkanerva of HOD

[Raven]

I'd like 15:96:14

[Freiegeister]

The Major could do with 15:27:23 as it's close to his main, but it will have to wait until after Easter.

[SkulkrinBait]

I've taken over 15:42:14 which someone had previously taken and called it Go Oliver! - I'm guessing it was you Arminius? In which case aologies, I'll let you take it back if you like and pay you damages.



How much do you want?

[SkulkrinBait]

Anyone wanting isles needs to PM RiKhArD to lay their claim as his alliance [-Raptor-] is in the process of taking over these isles. He is approachable and uses reasonable grammar

[Natmus]

I'm back. Please stop logging on to my account and start building things I don't need!

It was a joke by Natmus. Luckily my attempts failed, otherwise we'd have colonised that island three times over...

[Natmus]

I never joke!

Anyway, who got some isles? Can we see some reports?

[Freiegeister]

tkanerva is back in person, and has replied to one of my messages:

yes i can explain. i made a python script to manage my account while i moved to spain (i still don't have an internet connection at home).

the automatic attacker script is stupid, and should have not created that, but i got greedy.

and later:

yeah, it seems like it's the end of the story now.

as you probably have noticed, the community here, like in other social contexts, does not allow breaking the rules. they will not forget.

Well, you broke the rules, and got caught.

I don't know if anyone has hopes for more isles, I for one am done anyway.

[Arminius]

I got two islands, I think. Feel a bit ambiguous, as we've got a treaty with them, but then, he cheated. How do we proceed?

[Natmus]

Just stay cool?

[SkulkrinBait]

I got 3 colonies from him I think, and I've no more col ships left so will leave it at that. I notice he's offline now so he seems to either have switched the script off or made it cleverer.



Have we informed his alliance of the situation in case he goes crying to them?

[Natmus]

No, the reasoning was that if we informed his alliance, and they agreed he was running a script, they would probably decide to deal with it internally, meaning no isles for us and all the isles for themselves.

I think the guys who tipped me off about tkanerva in the first place contacted the admins of HOD, but was brushed off, and that's when I decided to act.

[ashimar]

I agree with Mads, just breathe in, breathe out. He won't find much sympathy for his situation. My only worry is how David and Oliver will hang on to the new real estate. May I please advice you make it a point to produce at least 30 spears per day and get the wall up to level 20 asap and what's left is poured into SW/LW ?

I want us to have a quiet april+may you see. No diplomatic excitements, no fleets outbound, quietly painting our main houses for winter, that sort of thing.

[Arminius]

No worries; my new islands are in sectors where I've already got islands, and I'm building up defences. They have high-level mines, so I can easily build troops and ships. Harbours are not quite as well developed...
