Dear players, we have provided some information below on questions about cheating in Storm Wars. Please be aware that if you are playing the game honestly, you have nothing to fear, but we deal with cheaters harshly. If you ever experience an issue or want to report suspected cheating, hacking or exploiting, please feel free to send a message directly to a dev team member, post to one of our chats (in-game chat, Kongregate window chat, or Discord chat), or to send in a support ticket. --- **Bots / Macros / Tag-Teaming Accounts ** We have sophisticated bot detection systems but also review our logs regularly, so please don't try to use bots or macros. We regularly ban people, and sometimes it takes us a week or two to do so ... so don't think you're getting away with it, and especially be careful of others telling you that you CAN get away with it, because we promise you can't. :) In short – don’t do this, we are watching carefully and you will be banned. It’s also against Kongregate’s terms of service, see: https://www.kongregate.com/pages/terms Thanks for keeping the game fair for everyone! --- **Using Alts in Tourneys** Many players are tempted to run several alt accounts in tournaments, to create bad decks and trade themselves wins. This is strictly against the rules and will result in severe discipline against your accounts. Please don't do it, and please report any such activity you see immediately. --- **Hacking, etc** We have a pretty decent set of security measures in place that will detect injection attacks, memory tweaking, and other common attack vectors, and will automatically flag your account… so, please don’t try to hack us! If we do catch you hacking our game we will IP ban you and possibly any other accounts we think you are associated with. We will also report you to Kongregate. --- **Exploits** If you do encounter an exploit / loophole, or hear of one, please let us know. We’ll give you a nice gem bounty if it leads to us making the game more secure and fair for everyone. Exploits are not "cheating" and you won't get banned for taking advantage of our mistakes, but we do not appreciate intentionally thwarting our rules and if we think you know you're doing it, we might confiscate the stuff you earned that way. Just play fair! It will be more fun that way too. :)
