BEING CHEATED? - read this first!

Mad praise to the Tru ElPared. Forever shall your User Name live and fly high as the banner of us overcoming these mean ol' hackers/exploiters. Adam/Alex should have this bugged/banned up soon. No worries guys! This is outwitters, the hackers just see their 'hacking' as actually out witting other users, or possibly the creators. Maybe someone knows someone IRL. I imagine it is just a lonely techie with quite a bit of time. I like this game a lot. But...not even close enough to bother with the mechanics of hacking or exploiting a bug. I thought it was a clever little strategy game that I could play in spare moments. I will continue to play this game and enter league games. I don't really care. I'll surrender to the hacker if I realize that he/she is hacking. Do we really care that much about rank right now? Let us just enjoy this game and when adam/alex restores the ranking system/eliminates the hackers, we will focus more on the ranking systems. It is easy for me to say this, as I am not a high rank at all. But! I feel like this is a good strategy.

Any updates on the status of the cheating?

I need to report a cheater. My name is Heath and I go by 'theoneheathbar'. I just started a game this morning with Dund0o (or DundOo, can't tell if the second to last character is a zero or a capital 'o') on War Garden.

I had first turn so I of course started with just 5 wits. I spent those five on moving my medic, healing my heavy, moving my heavy to a wit marker, moving my soldier to a wit marker, and finally, buying a runner.

When I came back for turn 3, my 2nd turn, I was flabberghasted. I moved my runner up a few spaces to clear some of the fog of war and immediately knew I was dealing with a cheater.

I can see that Dund0o: moved his heavy to a wit marker (1 wit), moved his soldier to a wit marker (presumably, I can't see the soldier but I can see the other wit marker in the fog is now his color. 1 wit for 2 total now), a runner with 2 health not on spawn (1 wit to buy the runner, 1 to heal with a medic, 1 to move the runner. 3 wits, 5 total now), and the kicker, an armored up bombshell not on a spawn marker (7 wits to buy bombshell, 1 to move him, one more to armor him up for 9 wits. A total of 14 wits).

That's right. Dund0o used 14 wits on his very first turn, turn 2 of the overall game, when second turn player is only given 8 wits to start.

Clearly he is cheating, no question. How do I go about this now? The game is still active. In fact I haven't even made another move since moving up my runner and seeing what he did. I don't want to quit, because it's a league match and I consider myself a serious competitor. I'm Gifted League

now but there was a time I was Master League

and I'm trying to get back to that point. I'd hate to take a points hit because of a cheater. I've already sent copies of this to Adam/Alex, but I wanted as many eyes on this as possible so this cheater can get dealt with.

I'm sorry I can't send you a replay as the match is still in progress. As soon as the match is closed out in whatever capacity Adam/Alex decide I'll post a replay link.

Actually, I just quit so I could have replay link to prove. Here is everything:

*UPDATE:

Apparently he knows he's cheating as well, he didn't accidentally stumble upon a glitch or anything. After I quit the game so I could get a replay for proof he promptly sent me this message:

'Hey if u don't report then I can show u how to do it. This is my first day I've tried this.'

Whether this is really the first time he's done this or not I really don't care. He's still cheating in a league match that cost me points/rank. But clearly he knows he's cheating and doesn't like that he was caught.

i have a cheater for you, he spent 19 wits his first round and had 2 bombshells in play, 1 of them was transformed. when i attempt to watch replays it crashes before they are spawned, but if you skip round for round you can see it. his username is "Dund0o", i am writing this on my computer but im gonna try to print in the link sign for sign: outwitters://viewgame?id=ag5vdXR3aXROZXJzZ2FtZXIRCxllR2FtzVJvb2OYvtO_Aww

How sad, I was hoping the cheaters had gone away for good. I'm bumping this to hopefully get you some visibility and the cheater banned.

theoneheathbar · 05-10-2013, 01:42 AM

Yeah, he did the same thing to me this morning as well. Same player doing the same trick on the same map even.

I played against that guy in a league match. Of course, I don't remember whether he cheated then or not (it was a long time ago, but I remember all my opponents GCIDs for some reason)
