I legitimately do wanna say thanks to the classy MoM members and officers and warmasters. Not all of you, just the decent ones. Although there’s been a few periods of a super loudmouth stupid member or two, every time I’ve interacted with MoM, it’s been positive. Thanks for all the good people I’m talking about.

I see you left out leader, I am crushed.

Topic: Tyrant / NOTICE to Kryptologic and/or war machines

I have been trying to give my tiles to war machine for weeks. They have taken one then couldnt get enough decks on it so they asked for a break while they organized and figured stuff out.

Welcome to the southern apathy trap.

Topic: Tyrant / Gutless + wars

This is the same alliance that were labeled as “lame” by the devs, I am not suprised.

Topic: Tyrant / [Boycott] Force Devs to take action against cheating

the problem is that devs are more afraid of the potential legit player getting upset over a ban that can be reversed than policing the 1000s of alt accounts in tyrant. Honestly, just setup an irc-like hostmask that shows up in the mouseover of a user based on their last login. That will solve the “similar name” vs “alt” debate and give the community tools to see who is acct sharing or not.

Well I can tell you there have been numerous threads and complaints about the faction bestofbest – all 50 members are some form of the username jindola (jindola1, jindola2, jindola3, etc). May be a place to start.

My question would be: what are those players doing that’s considered an exploit? How are they gaining an advantage? We’re aware of several grouped players with similar names and, yes, it looks suspicious, but that’s hardly cheating. If, however, they are coordinating in a way that gives them an advantage, that IS cheating. The way to fix that is to modify the game design to reduce advantages gained.

50 accounts controlled by 1 person, yeah. That is a definite advantage in anyones book. Even half a dozen shared accounts is enough to give a faction a noticable advantage. The way to fix it is not to keep changing the game but ban people for cheating. There is a definite culture of cheating on tyrant because developers rarely take action. Every major faction in tyrant has cheated in one form or another at some point, even legit ran ones like MoM and Dragons have skeletons in their closet from long ago.

Coding changes so that there isnt a reason to exploit is a good long term solution,but in the timeframe it takes synapse games to program, significant percentages of the userbase quit due to watching cheaters “getting away with it”.

Topic: Tyrant / [Hashtag] Free 0hio

Very valid arguement. If they wont take care of all the other cheaters that have admitted to it publicly and not had any disciplinary action then ohio should be set free.

Its called CAPTCHA. I know it works to prevent people from running unattended macros, may work in this instance as well.

Devs would have to implement it in a clever way as not to be intrusive or annoying to the player.

Captcha has been brought up several times over the last two years. I do enjoy seeing how little people understand about how the best bots used in tyrant worked. Just ask those directly involved or those who have fought the bots tooth and nail how they work and what they can do instead of guessing or going off out-of-date data.

Some dates for you ino (to the best of my knowledge):
BO was restored after the first major hacking on Apr. 27, 2011 – I applied 1 week before (wait listed) and got in when they reorganized on that day as they had openings.
bunnyduo disbands BO inbetween Sept.2-20 – I have a message from Hotshot while he’s still active on the 2nd. I was in a new faction on the 20th.
Rust Company was seriously hitting top 20 factions around Nov.1, 2011. It started around the beginning of Oct. Disbanded beg-mid of Dec.
During “Months of boredom” there was a new LoA, not LoA2.0 that didn’t hate MoM or team with IFS. Like Dec 2011-Mar2012. They were the junior ally of MoM (unofficially/ but didn’t attack each other and hit other top 10’s) until they got good enough to challenge MoM and then the situation grew tense until LoA2.0 buddied with IFS as described in your post.

:)

Sept 19th would be the say BO was backstabbed and my hatred of all things bunny started. (that was the day I was accepted into mom, 2 hours before BO was disbanded)

Topic: Tyrant / Conquest vs Faction Wars - How conquest got totally useless

if conquest didnt give any FP, I bet those 357 tiles would not have been taken.

Topic: Tyrant / History of Tyrant

addendum to last “months of boredom” Dragons challenged MoM for #1 and actually achieved it a few times before sliding down.

Uizito, you made a thread to complain about what happened to you and YOU asked the mods to lock your thread. Why the fuck did you come over and infect this other thread? We were having a productive discussion with synapticon and you and a few other people started a flame war that consumed the thread.

And here is the stupidest part of the flame war you participated in: we were discussing how to protect people from what happened to you. The discussion was essentially about how to protect players like you from getting hurt and you jumped in and started bitching. What. The. Fuck?

And for those of you who fanned the flames of the flame war, I’m also pissed at you. I’m more pissed at Uizito, for the reasons above, but next time— don’t flame, just flag the post, and stay on topic.

Yeah, if I were a Kong mod, I would have broken my delete key tonight. And if I had the power to mute users, there would have been a long list of Tyrant players receiving stfu emails. Maybe it’s a good thing I’m not a kong mod.

Best reason yet to nominate HH for tyrant forum mod.

Topic: Tyrant / [Conquest] The Last Answer: Reset Every Month --> No Stagnation

I’ve suggested to the devs 3 month resets several times. My reasoning is that it gives enough time for big factions to have a few good brawls, maybe even wipe some off the map before the mad scramble to get max points before reset.

Wonderful and useful guide!!
You’ve forgot to say that it’s better to share your leader’s canvas to be able to abandon unnecessary tiles!
And make all your members WARMASTAAA to be able to start a conquest as soon as possibile!!

then, i have to propose my guide:
[GUIDE] Reverse Suicidal Tileswapping
How
1) Make a pair of two factions, preferably close to eachother in rankings and in location on map.
2) Attack eachother in pairs, be sure to attack eachother continously on map
3) Defender should deploy 30 unbeatable decks, Attacker should fight and beat every single decks except one, without using any sims.
4) When one deck remains for closing and winning conquest, Defender must abandon tile.
5) Attacker now have to start a FW and lose that while losing also the def war (all stamina has gone for conquest).
6) Now Defender start a conquest against Attacker and blablalbalblalbla..
7) Go on like this forever for fall down together in the ranking . You are protected against hits from other factions on map for 3h, and you can just start an active faction war, ignore conquest invasion since it is likely to just abandon the tiles.

Why
’Cause Evil (or more Evil?) Alliance will stop QQ.

Technoale, you nearly paraphrased the devs plan for conquest that the consortium talked them out of.

Surely we can’t discount the possibility that these two factions just happened to have an extremely consistent rivalry where no winner could be decided over the course of 6+ conquest attacks, legitimately trying their hardest to desperately defend their tiles from attacks but ultimately failing every time?

If that is the legitimate case, then a mass mailing to devs to buff conquest defense needs to be organized. Every alt, every bot should participate…thats if thats what actually happened. I will need to consult my personal oracle.
