Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

what a joke. Nobody hacked you or your attacker's computers. This whole thing is nothing more than a consipiracy theory. Here is why....

1. You werent the only one experiencing lag that night. The family you were fighting also had lag.

2. Nobody in our alliance cares enough about winning to actually hack someone.

3. Nobody in our alliance is smart enough to hack someone like that anyways.

4. Why would the hacker simply slow you down with lag? If i were to hack someone id do alot more than just make you slow.

5. The IC servers are old. Im pretty sure Stefan doesnt maintain the server very well. Its kinda obvious the server is messed up otherwise how do you explain the lag and other problems we have currently with so few players around these days.

6. how can you be sure you were hacked when you dont even know what the hell youre talking about it when it comes to IP addresses, antivirus programs and the like??

So please just shut up about it already. its just a conspiracy theory from a guy who got hs ass kicked. Perhaps the lag did contribute to your family's demise but dont blame it on hackers. If youre that angry write an email to Stefan and tell him to fix the server. Welcome to the internet dude tongue

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

The fact is that i had 20s without being able to go in the game when all my attackers had 10mn, was watching fam news of them being runned and removed from everywhere, so the lag was only for 1 side...sad to play 1 month to get this on the 10 key minutes of the round.
Dunno what happened but:
-If they have been hacked it's sad
-If they haven't been it's also sad that the servor can't handle 10 ppl doing a cancellation war...

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

Its sad when people claim lag for their own failures.

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

what can u do when u cant enter the game the 10 first minutes of war when ennemies can?
when they could enter the game they had no more fleet...

Animal was attacking me whole time (but only unportaled... and noone else was in his nw range...    so how did the lag change anything?..  he also didn't get cleaned by us.. he just shared not in all important areas..... seeing that you guys did prepare since over 7 days.... his position on us was just a big fail
yeah maybe he would have taken my unportaled quicker maybe... but would that change anything?
also a litle tip for him.. doing 2 attacks to take an unportaled is stupid... sending 1 tranny and 2 droids in the first fleet will do wonders...)

Drp was attacking until lag at minute 10... where our fam also had lag.. and i needed 8 minutes from sending fleet till attack report... so lag might have cost him his fighters.

Vandals had no trannies... so he did nothing the whole first tick.. dunno if you want to blame the lag for that..   also he had fighters out at the beggining of tick... dunno why.. noone had lag then (animal tried to fighterrun me then, drp was attacking)... also he builded fighters a tick early... means he had 1 hour and 1 minutes to statione them.. until i got them 3 times...

hermit was not online first tick..  he started attacking tick 2.. got a few portals of tico because tico had whole fleet stationed because animal could hit him..
tico unstationed... hermit lost whole ground... animal got ticos fighters once in return.. hermit gets fighterrunned 2 minutes later... hermits deletes another 2 minutes later

Sl X 4 was not online.. and had no fleet... got all his portals sabed first tick of war... and never did anything until war ended

FirstWorldEmpire   had no shared... and no fleet



but yeah blame the lag kollop
don't blame that you guys did the worst planed war i ever have seen in 30 rounds

gathering whole bank on someone over 1 day bevor war... who has no agents or wizards...
so that everyone can sot or vision or infil him.. and that everyone knews your savings...

animal sending out stuff for trannies out one day bevor war... so that we know what drp and hermit will have for ground that early... at least sent more aid as needed.. and rest back via a banker... so that we cannot calculate that so easely...  like we did

spending a hell of the lost for defense of bankers... everyone jumped 500k-1 mil nw.. some with like no cons...

vandalez building his trannies a tick to late....  a main ground without trannies... very usefull

animal sending all attackers what they need for war.... 5 or 6 ticks bevor war...
after that there was NO aid flow between your attackers anymore ... nada... nothing to confuse us or to make us guess your fleets wrongs... hell sending us a msg telling you what you guys are going to build would have had the same effect.... thnx.

vandalez, animal building fighters 4 ticks bevor war... thnx
so one vision on Vandalez 3 ticks bevor war.. the tick i had to build fighters..
the differecne between vision and the aid he got a few ticks early.. and i knew what he would build.. and what i have to build to rape him...
also 1 tick bevor war i know that i had to deportal with animal... and could open all the taps needed for that in time...


serisosly... if you play rock-paper-scissors with someone... you shouldn't show him that you will play rock bevor he has to make his move... else you shouldn't wonder that he shows paper and you lose...

Well your post was decent except for your lack of capital letters and too many ...'s.   For that, I give you a C-

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

yeah i passed tongue

Tobi

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

When Pitt shown 1 tick to late to build trannies he should have gone figs or managed to stay 1 tick out of reach from other attackers having a very low nw (razing infra and being hypno) then enter the fight 1 tick later. here he had the ground but no trannies, so he was in nw range for tobi but couldnt do a thing.
Aid should have turned many times and different ticks to trick infils, that u dont know where to deportal.
This lag was made for nothing we would have lost anyway tongue

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

**also a litle tip for him.. doing 2 attacks to take an unportaled is stupid... sending 1 tranny and 2 droids in the first fleet will do wonders...)  **

I get 7 planet infras and without inside info I would have no way of knowing they were all deportalled, so your comment is ridiculous.

** animal sending out stuff for trannies out one day bevor war... so that we know what drp and hermit will have for ground that early**

Interesting comment here.  What spell told you that I sent aid for trannies.  I sent lots of aid for many things including stuff for the war not just trannies.  You just admitted what we all know here.

***vandalez, animal building fighters 4 ticks bevor war... thnx***

Another interesting comment.  All my units came in 1 tick before the war.  Ground and air both came in 1 tick before not 4 and I wasnt going to be home so it had to be that way.  No wizards or agents?  I had 500k wizards and 700k agents.

You guys were just as lagged out as us?  Well since Vandals and others couldn't even load a screen while you managed to destroy their fleets ...well that is just a bold faced lie that is really unworthy of argument.  Otherwise you wouldnt have destroyed their fleets because you would have been lagging just as bad, as you have claimed.  I never experienced lag in the game during the war.

Your powers of divination are either bullshite or you are so good at this game that there is really no reason to play anymore....or you had inside info which Hemit pretty much admitted to all of us right before he deleted.  And dont trot out that trite junk about him losing his fleet and deleting out of frustration.  He lost his fleet 3 other times this round and didnt delete, but for some reason during the big war he asked for a massive amount of aid and then deleted.

No-one has ever seen that little trick before.  Hemit was your spy / multi and did what good multis / spies always do.  Hemit pretty much admitted it and that is why he deleted.  He made a few strange comments and while we were grilling him on it he popped.  Hemit WAS a multi there is no doubt among any of us that were there and saw what he did, and he pulled his poison dagger when we fought you.  He was your spy / multi.  It would be a cold day in hell before the mod in your family actually busted your family for cheating

Did you cheat...well I think you did, but we will never know.  It wouldnt be the first time I have seen these kind of cheap shenannigans...Nai, Optical Illusions, Tia, Oldbie, Beast (andro 93), ect,ect. . . all cheaters.

I forget you guys are just damn good and we are just terrible.  I think I have heard that line from every cheater in every online game I ever played...macro questers in EQ going on about their skills... guys throwing kives 5 miles and sticking them into your head in Battlefield 2, god mode in Diablo, resource hackers in Age of EMpires online etc,etc.  They all brag about their "skills" and how all the others are noobs.  Quite tiresome.

You need a new CD because most of us have heard that song too many times already.  No-one believes you and your posted log files from IRC dont mean anything.....In fact they reflect desperation on your part.  That desperation definitely adds weight to the allegation that you did cheat.

No-one this round defeated me in Battle, nor did they last round.  You guys are cowards and you cheated.  I dont blame you because had you not used your multi / spy...I would have beat your asses twice last round.



You are the weak and the weak have to cheat.


99 on the other hand seemed to play clean so Kudos to H4E's family, and they are the real winners of the round.  97 is disqualified for cheating.

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

Animal, you are showing that you have no idea how to gather information before a war.  For one, when its just one aid shipment even close to time when its needed you can very well assume its for transports.  It is very easy to notice peoples actions in infils and determine their actions if you k now how to do it.   Hemit lost his whole fleet in attacks, that is why he deleted.  The previous times he lost his fleet though wasn't in a war where it would result in him and his family being raped.

You guys lost, just live with it.  It was horrible war planning on your families behalf.


The lag didn't start for either side till 10 minutes intot he tick.  Your attackers were attacking immediately after the tick

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

I had some respect for you and Tobias prior to that war but the two of you have shown that you guys are nothing but sore losers.  Don't blame others for your families mistakes, blame yourselves.

Re: I have found the reason for IC lags at last!

You can repeat that as many times as a democrat congressman and that doesnt make it any more true.  I sent much more than tranny money, and aid was sent in dribs and drabs all afternoon, so your premise is invalid and therefore your conclusion as well.  All transport money was sent the day before the war and all transports were built then, except vandals so thats enough of the Sot Infil garbage about transports.  Seeing what aid was passed 35 hours before a war doesnt tell you it is for transports, but spies do that very well.  I never said we were the best war planners that ever lived, but having a spy doesnt really help either.  I guess if I decide to play again I better have at least 3 accounts eh?

Are you clairvoyant?  Did you read Hemits mind?  No.  and ... No. ...not unless you were Hemit.

97 are no longer your allies unless you have shenannigans planned for this round...so you can quit riding to their rescue.  You are not an authority over me H4E and you can issue no commands that I would ever accept.

****Tobias it is called a denial of service attack and it is not really that hard to flood someones IP address with data packets if you know what to do.  There is so much lag in the game from time to time war or no war, so if you were hit with a DoS who would notice.  However if you can prove that it happened and identify the person who did it....then report it to Interpol because that carries a decent prison sentence whether it is used in a game or not.
