SoD Anti-Hacking Team (open to all forum users)
Ok, so I've been seeing the Phantom clans saying we are against all hacking.
I would put that in my signature, BUT I am not a member of the Phantom Lords/ Shadows
So, I made a few things that you guys to put in your signatures. Show how much you hate hacking!
Feel free to make your own and put them here!
Wow, that is really a good work! I'll use one :)
Ps. I really dunno how many banners against hacking members of lords/shadows made, but I think even not being a member of lords/shadows you can use it ^^
I have experienced being face to face with many hackers. I saw a person with a timber jack who likes me and I reported him instead of applying his friend request. Hacking is duper unfair!
P.S.- My clan has a rule that you must report a hacker when you see one, and anounce it in a nice way
How to report someone ?
The best way to do that is to pm one of the admins, i.e. Brynjolf
does this include what i have been told as "jumping" the same as hacking? where someone starts before the race, is in the races say... 50 seconds and finishes and leaves, leaving the rest of us to basically time out?
If they jump the Count Down Timer, they are probably a hacker.
A good way to see if they are is to see if they seem to jump/glitch/hitch across the track and finish the race in 50 some seconds like you say. If they do that, then they are more likely a hacker than before.
Now there have been a few cases where the person just doesn't have the best of internet connections and what we see from the race feed is the player "glitching" across the track. However, I haven't seen a case like this in a long time as these cases are rare but can happen.
Does that help?
if they start before the timer coundown, and finish the race in 50 seconds, then they just hacked the race, right? yeah, it looks like they are like a rock skipping across a pond, jumping from one place in the track to another. the reason im asking is someone tried to convince me that it wasnt hacking but using a glitch in the game and called it "jumping" not hacking, but to me it amounts to the same thing, like backwards racing. using a glitch in the game to gain an advantage of another racer, am i right?
Chance is, they are a hacker. There is still a possiblity they aren't. Like I said there have been cases where it was something to do with the internet connection. But I say roughly 60% to 80% more likely they hacked if they jump the race in addition to jumping the counter.
Taking advantage of something in the game that isn't supposed to be there is cheating. I just use "hacker" as a basic general term. I think it is hacking because to finish the race in that amount of time, some outside program must be used.
To me: All Cheating and Hacking should be reported as it is not right. So if they just take advantage of a glitch, I still say it should be reported.
yeah! i totally agree, i really dislike hacking, jumping, glitching, etc... whatever anyone wants to call it! LOL
And then when someone just uses a speed boost in Thunder Run, like what happened to me (read the last post on the last page in this thread), they jump all over you for cheating or hacking when you did nothing wrong.
How can you tell that a dragon is hacked?
I think it's when you see unusual colors. That's the only thing I can think of that makes a hacked dragon stand out. :O If it's a color not possible to do on the dragon color palete, theeeen it's probably hacked and worth noting.
Hey, Nessie. For some reason my computer won't let me copy and paste the images to my signature, so I have no choice but to type it into my signature. But I am wondering if I can sign up for this team.
I tried the URL for everything, really, and nothing works. I've had this problem for a month now, so there's nothing the Admins can do. :/ Story of my life, but I think we could turn it into a legitimate club.
EDIT:
Okay, so I can copy and paste in Chrome, but not I.E. It just doesn't show the image. :/
RE-EDIT:
I feel really dumb right now...I didn't click the little picture icon, and just pasted the URL into the signature itself, expecting it to turn into an image... [3-.-# (<-This is supposed to represent a facepalm.)
totally putting that on my signature
I'ma add one as well, I'm sick to the back teeth of people hacking!
Why can't these people just work for what they want... for example:
I want to get a lot of trophies and prove how good I am at Thunder Run Racing but I'd never hack just to make myself look "good" when in reality I couldn't race for the life of me!
All of these are really good! It warms my heart to see all the honest vikings sticking together against these horrible hacker/cheaters! Someday we will get our beloved game out of their dirty, cheating hands!
These are all really cool, but it doesn't really help anything.
These pictures also help players know where others stand on this whole hacking nonsense. :)
Thanks Nessie! :)
I am definitely adding one... Or two to my signature! :)
You are absolutely right Diamond! And it also lets the admins know that we are not going to just let this issue go.
Happy flying all!
Great idea !
I am adding this to my siganture as well ! I hope admins stop this hacking soon and we can all enjoy playing the game safe and sound :)
Wow! These are all really great!
:D
I just came up with a motto for us. The three Muskateers had "All for one and one for all" so ours can be just an adapted version from the Green Lantern saying.
"In brightest day,
In blackest night,
No hacker shall escape our sight.
For we are... THE SCHOOL OF DRAGONS ANTI-HACKING TEAM!"
(Admittedly that last line is a bit of a mouthful. So maybe just S.O.D.A.T.?)
Or S.O.D.A.H.T.
Because we are so daht
(like so that)
meaning we are cool.
:D
I love it!
Haha, I love it too~
Guys this is the new definition of AWESOME
i like them but wish they would sparkle like the other ones! and i think it should be S.O.D.A.H.T, School Of Dragons Anti-Hacking Team!
S.O.D.A.T looks official
S.O.D.A.H.T. looks cool.
XD
Like, "SO DAHT a Hacker?" XD Lol
I like them both.
I am in.
Anyone can use these & add words
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stworzdlak made them. He is offering them to anyone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These I made for myself
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This I made for members of TPL & TPS to use if they wanted to
Nessie you are great :)
Let's crush hacking!
These are awesome Nessie!
I wonder what the Admins think of all this?
We need to make a clan called Anti-hacking team so we can stop hacking once and for all.
I don't, and I'm the leader of Academic Acers, so I'm not willing to disband it.
Oh. Okay then. That sounds good. I changed my Viking's looks recently. Now she looks more like Nina, my fanfic character who is Hiccup's adopted sister. She has a white Deadly Nadder with pale blue spines, whereas Speranza has a Deadly Nadder featured in my profile pic. I also have a Gronckle, a boy named Steinar, and he's pale pink, hot pink, and yellow. I know it's not very masculine, but it's the only colors that would show up! :/
That's a good rule!
*makes note of it*
