 WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS! / Players using M()M bot
MALICIOUS PRANK!
Yesterday somebody using the name “Jimmy D” logged into every single game on my server and ran a malicious script or macro that caused players using mombat to cby in the game. The person who did this was not a player on my server. While I don’t know the identity of this person, I do have the 2 IP addresses that he or she used and I am posting them below.
97.171.1.152 – Verizon Wireless Connection in Yonkers, New York State
24.241.18.54 - Charter Communications in Millbury, Mass.
All TW Sysops would be wise to permanently ban these 2 IP addresses from their servers immediately.

 Re: WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS!
I would suggest that the admin modify the subject title to "WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS! / Players using M()M bot" until a fix is added. It has been discussed in one thread, but a lot of players may miss the discussion.

 Re: WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS!

The same way a polymorphic virus could kill your computer and rape your family, I guess.

Content remained, just updated the subject.

 Re: WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS! / Players using M()M bot
AH HA HA HA HA HA HAAA Quote: The person who did this was not a player on my server Sage, I'm think you are wrong. I would bet that the person who did it is a regular player on your board. They just didn't use the IP address that they use to actually play there. Otherwise, why bother?

 Re: WARNING TO ALL TW SYSOPS! / Players using M()M bot
Bots are the bane of TW. They ran off more players than anything else. Automation was not a good innovation as it turned out.

Automation was not a good innovation as it turned out. the "bane' of TW ?? u are kidding right?? before there were bots there was vnc/remote desktop.....I disagree Bots are the big evil problem of TW....i think if you look up..you will find the sky really isnt falling and that bots..wether m0mbot OR -st bot or vids bot or parrots bot or etc etc etc come on..its not the bot. Rather the inability to adjust playing styles inregards to bots...after all if a corp has x amount of players and x amount of turns...no one is really at an advantge because of a bot.bots dont really become an advantage until corpies are so BORED with the game there are only bots running to 1 real person at keys.....So in that sense they are an advantage to teams who otherwise would of got bored and quit.
