    Yeah, just a few general questions.

    Which is the most active universe to play in? Are multi's an issue (are people able to make multiple accounts through proxies), and which universe has the least cheaters.

    Also, what's your favorite one overall. I see they have a FB app, how's that?

    lmfao. Back in game 3 75% of the universe were multis. You had to multi to even have a chance. That's why I ask the questions.... I'm sure alot of the security has changed, just how much. I know everyone knows about proxies.... with that said has anything been done to stop them from being used.

    Please, I need answers. I just so happen to come back here on a day they restart the round, so I plan on playing, but I need to know what I'm getting myself into, cuz I don't play for fun, I play to win. Thx.

    All servers but terra nova are useless as in you start the round in the top 100 lol, currently multis are inactive as far as "force multipliers" 10 or 20 at most a round. There is a bot net used by around 10 diff ppl that can generate 500 but last time they tried to use em all the uni just napped and killed em. Yes it's a LT bot net lol.

    Security on admins parts is still crap, captcha randomly and maybe a scan once a round. Cheating rules are player enforced. Starting kds per round is only like 1k max now so..

    Well, definetaly better than it use to be. When you say generate 500, you mean 500 different kingdoms? What's an LT bot net? lol And 1k is alright... wasnt long ago a few hundred was good. If SK wants any hope to recapture it's old glory, the FB app is the only way. It has no way to compete with other computer games, but so many fuckers are obsessed with FB app games, there's a huge audience out there to appeal to.

    LT is the group that likely flooded the galaxy with multis when you last played. Bot net is a automated kingdom builder that can generate 500 diff ips last I heard. If they make the full amount of multis 1 per ip in theory they can make 500 individual kds but... Last time they did they recycled ips ,matched ips ,and then were easily tracked and killed off, took most of that round but... we counted 534 multis that round if I remember correctly, most utilized the same ips.

    Wait wait wait.... BCart didn't just delete them.... He made you guys waste your time peckin them to death? And what servers is this possible on? All of them? Or just the one that allows more than one kindom per ip.

    Dude, BCart needs to have an assistant administrator seriously. Or set up a team to attempt to revive this game.

    Bcart restarts the server and then walks away. Everything is handled by the playerbase.

    Hahaha don't hold your breath man, we sent Bcart a list of the multis and offered a fix to tracking them and nothing... I think he boosted up the captcha rate maybe? And I think the bots I'm referring to can operate on both terra and Centaurus. Not FB... There's also the few tools who still cheat manually making a handful of basically useless kds.

    Also still some ghost issues.

    wowwww, ghosts been an issue since 2004 when I first played, insane. You think everyone would hibernate to the facebook. It only makes sense. Get what little active players there are, get them in one game/server/universe whatever so its half ass fun, with the least amount of multi potential.

    I don't think you know what hibernate means.

    BCart is completely inactive. The only people still playing this game mostly play it for nostalgia or to chat/talk with the friends they've made in rounds past.

    He's ALWAYS been that way, always. Back in Athe day he was looked at like a god lol he created a game everyone was obsessed with but never ever showed his face, like a ghost or somethin. He would post updates and that was it, he's responded to someone I think 1 time and he was probably drunk when he did it. Shit, I'd buy this game off him. With all the money fuckers are makin on facebook with their lame ass games, this game could potentially get big again. Alot of people don't like gettin into games that require too much time or experience to play, alot of ppl could jump right into this game and have fun, especially if it gets a couple thousand more active players.

    And why in they hell is everyone forest and wilderness? Did every other land type get nerfed or FnW just get a big upgrade. I wonder what galaxy ablaze is doin nowadays.

    Yes, I'm well aware of how he has been the entire time this game has been around.

    Many people have tried to buy from him, he won't sell. If he does give you chance it's a retarded amount for the effort/decline the game is in.

    He talks at certain times with certain people, but not often.

    lol you can actually talk openly about being a multi huh? that's a whole new level of neglect by the admin if that can happen lol.
  • ScientologyScientology October 2012
    Posts: 1,392
    There is no admin. Like people have said in this thread. He is here one day a round to push a shiny red button and then doesn't give a shit.

    pos is trolling. Lots of multis are around though, but the userbase will usually catch you. If there are any decent AL's in the round they will pick you out because they know the game mechanics and kill you. If there aren't any decent AL's then it's a free for all.

    well well well... then not much has changed my friend, not much has changed. I've popped in and out since I was 14 years old... I'm 26 now. I played for a solid 4 years straight, so I'm well aware of what goes on... It's just been such a long time since I've played I figured there'd be SOME changes but obviouslly other than captcha nothing has.

    what... the ... fuck.... kinda shit is that? that makes no sense at all. How much does 1 res give. 80 still? N how the hell can a kingdom function with 100% of land on training camps. you'll get the 0 power nurf which makes a kingdom basically useless. weird. where does it talk about this in the guide?

    u gotta be bullshittin... but i wouldnt doubt it if it was that way. this game had so many hidden tricks in it back in the day that werent posted in the guide. made it fun as hell actually. fore example, if you were volcanic inferno and your kingdom was between two other volcanic infernos you got a huge boost to all the advantages you alrady had. you literally needed 1% of your land on power plants and would have a huge surplus of energy, plus other advantages. that wasnt in the guide tho lol

    And where when you actually were important enough to get PK'd or killed offline, it mattered and it really did feel like a slap in the face. Today, being PK'd or taken out just gives you an excuse to do other more important things because you just don't care anymore. :)

    I was the worst man. If I got attacked successfully within a couple days of leaving newbie mode I'd delete my account all pissed off. I was #1 one time and a friend of mine hit me, but he didnt know it was me cuz I never told him what kingdom I was and I was so pissed I said fuck it and suicided lol. I was so extremely pissed cuz my strat was working so well, and literally I'm talking to him on aim when I see in my news he attacked me lmfao

    It isnt a botnet and has nothing to do with an actual botnet

    its just a bot that grows kingdoms that people love calling a botnet for some reason

    Ignore the retards, there are a few multis that suck dick. Then the heroes come rolling in with more multis, and they kill the multis... then turn their multis on legit players.

    If you want to enjoy the nostalgia, play the game like always and if you get multiraped (unlikely), take it on the chin and keep calm ;)

    Probably sounds better than something like "LT's 1337 Star Kingdoms Kingdom Creator" or something. It's what happens when youngsters try to make their piece of shit software sound cool by calling it something that it's not, and hoping it goes viral.

    Which it did in this instance when others didn't know what a Botnet is in the first place, lol.

    Yes. It can still be done. You have to register your domain. It went so far as someone calling and threatening him at some point.
