yeah, that makes more sense, or they can remove the surrender choice, and especially the PAUSE choice, urgh, exploiters keep taking advantage of it, and that is totally bs -_-

Quote from BenTZ

So you are proposing that admins ban their ip addresses? It won't solve anything.
They will find another loop hole like using different ip addresses and different computers. I think best solution is that if it is possible for the admins to modify the game so that it tracks surrenders and multiple surrenders to the same two combatants.

Or just ban them until they give up. :)

Well, admins don't have the time to look through every replay.
Drizzzle, its inlogical removing the surrender and pause button, cuz its like replacing the statue.

No, my idea is: they should limit the pause time, like 30 seconds maximum, and u can only pause 3 times a game, so those cheaters cant abuse that PAUSE button anymore

Here is spartan (who called himself charlie sheen in the replay) attempting a pause-statue exploit. Later in chat in lobby, I asked if he would explain himself and ignored me

PAUSE

Knock it off. It's annoying, and nobody cares. Do it again and I'll infract you.

ok, but what do u think about my idea? It helps prevent statue pausing rite?

Why not just wait? Its the same as freezing the game.

There is this guy I fought with the username Terrence. I can't confirm if he is cheating, but it seems kind of suspicious. When I started a match against him (ranked one obviously) he asked for my rating as soon as I said "Hi". When I told him my rating, my archer just got to the center and was destroying his swords, just as my own sword came, the game went out of sync.

I suspect he may be forcing an out of sync against people he knows he probably can't beat so that he can rise on the leaderboards. I don't know how to investigate this, but someone should consider it. Somewhat suspicious.

I Support this theory,when my crawlers barely killed his archer it went OOS right after that.

he actually froze the game against me.

Terrence, if I remember correctly, is ISAIDMAYBE. So...

@Ai, Nah, terrential is ISAIDMAYBE.

no, terrential is then ISAIDMAYBE.
and terrential is not terrence. Therefore terrence is not ISAIDMAYBE.
