    Huge applaud to X-Men and kebob. Pretty amusing considering the musing about you guys not so long ago. Not to kick a dead horse, but a real class act. Have a gold star! star.png

    Smaller, but still large applaud to IceIX for the relatively quick catch and fix. We all appreciate it. Any chance we could know what was wrong?
    Without getting into our methods for cheat detection too much, it was a case of putting in new controls for checking for ways to cheat and one of those controls being a bit overzealous in its implementation.

    Don't you just hate it when code works too well?

    Well, normally I love it, but this is a case of good code gone bad. icon_e_ugeek.gif

    Thanks Ice. It was a weird situation considering blade had to go to work at the time we noticed something was up and couldn't be involved himself .

    Wanted to also "publicly" express my appreciation for the classy move by Gipsy and Francky in helping out us Rings.

    Cheers!!

    Not surprised that an XMen was willing to help.

    EVERY XMen I've conversed with has been beyond cool and I have to point out they are considered adversaries by the tacorings which makes this action even more admirable!

    Thank you Gypsy and the rest of XMen! You are all classy champions! Much respect fellas!

    Very kind words Jedi. Thank you.
  • Speaking of cheaters, you should better have a look at 'Middy1' of alliance 'tenel heros', his roster is a good lough.
    270 dino, bagwoman, 2 x-forces, 2 nick furies, a couple of double 166 and so many roster slots the list view does not have enough page dots for... Can't imagine this was real money spent.

    Reported him a few days back but he is still commander of the alliance.

    He's been copiously reported, and is, according to many accounts, a completely legit whale.
  • Speaking as Blade88 in person. Respect is due..All this happened at a riduculous time and I had no way of being here but Thanks need to go out to 'The Mister Fisk' and 'Nighthawk' from my alliance for standing my ground. 'Gypsy Danger' and 'Franckykebab' for a pretty class manouveurfrom the x-men to the rings. Respect to the X-men their. Tho seeing as some of your compadres are sandwiching me in this season thanks will be served with some stiff competion. I also believe Ice from Dp3 was the main man who sorted the confusion out.. I'm many things but i've never been savvy to all the forums tricks and styles so their not going to be some huge banging smiley thing busting in the middle of here to say thanks but their would be if their could, however as a true agnostic Reverend who chats to a hell of a lot of the gods out their reguarly let me tell you you are Blessed.
  • Back again but just re-read the thread and just to say you are all 'Blesssed and respect is due
