Titan of War(#8622)

[SirEmi]

This player has been baned for repeated abuse on other players and breaking the Space Odyssey TOS, hacking attempts, not reporting bugs and exploiting using automated scripts, etc

An investigation of his logs and actions is underway...

[Seither]

Who did he abuse? I could see all the others, but not abuse.

[Ricu]

when you find a bug , you dont go attaking everyone with it. he attaked a lot of the members from top 20. including me lamma frank and otthers. he found a way to make buged fleets and for that he got banned , he made cheap fleets cost a lot and then sell them and made a fortune. smt like that.

[Seither]

I see. Still, I'd like to hear the story from Sir Emi before I totally believe it, if you don't mind.

[Scruffy]

He is in my alliance I sent him a message that he needs to address this here or with Sir Emi.

[Ricu]

he got banned , he cant log in anymore.

[Lammalord]

one gone now emi needs to deal with Jeff hes bean useing dial up and multiple windows to to the same encounter 5-30 times, inoreder to get money to attack me. i think him useing a bug to attack me is very unjust showing that hes been useing this for the past few weeks and ive lost 100's of billions of marines to him constantly useing this bug to get unjust money and attack me...

(proff is in the new when ppl see him do the same thing over and over.. and in chat last night when he formaly admitted to doing it, and in convesions hes had were i recall him saying something like "oh i got 180billion off that one enought to attack lammalord back"

[ronald]

How come his account still exists? He has about 900.000.000 power. Was he banned yes or no?

[SirEmi]

A baned account still exists, it is not deleted but it can not be accessed... it can be attacked, altough you won't find anything but some segmetns on him right now.
He used a bug that was making a tiny fleet bigger, by forcing upgrades in the ship using posting scripts to bypass the checks. When a forced upgrade was induced, it triggered a protection system in place, that was trying to repair the fleet. The protection system made the ship bigger in space to fit the upgrade, not allowing the space to go negative. This had the side effect of making the fleet more expensive. By buying the fleet first, using the bug, and then selling the fleet, he would get more credits.
He was warned, the fleets where fixed, but the problem wasn't clear until he used it again. Then he was baned, the investigation revealed the problem, and now the system is fixed on this part.

The protecton system was upgraded, the fleet space will not be increased anymore, but if for some reason upgrades would be forced on a fleet, the system will start and check every upgrade, and remove the intruding upgrades on detection, leaving the clean fleet in place.
Also the fleet checker will start now and then on its own, fixing any undetected anomalies...

So in the end, the only thing he managed to do is to make the system smarter...

God Speed Commanders!

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger! ...Usually ...I mean if you were maimed that'd be a different case... but I digress.

Remember people, you can't get away with stuff, so don't try, 'kay? ^_^

[Borg!]

can the people who got attacked have some credits 

[Lammalord]

ya!!

[Seither]

I quote directly from ToS here:

Terms and conditions of Space Odyssey     
     
(I) Responsibility of the developers:    
        The team of Space Odyssey will do everything possible for the game to run flawlessly, beyond that Space Odyssey is not liable in any way for server breakdown, faulty programming etc. The occurrence of any disadvantages for a user resulting from server breakdowns, faulty programming etc. does not entitle the user to claim the recovery of his account's status before the occurrence.

Therefore, you have no right to claim for recovery of your accounts. Now, wither Sir Emi decides to do so or not is up to him, but you can't complain if he says no or doesn't give you anything, you agreed to this rule when you signed up.

[Borg!]
