@gg375 you didn’t fool anyone. The 3rd person to post in that thread figured it out. Its cute how you actually think you pulled one over on us.

I used auto clicker way back when you could click 1000 times per second xd. It didnt really get me much by todays equivalent though. In retrospect this is pretty obvious.

Pretty much the only thing I’ve done is zoomed in on the button to get perfect clicks to 100.

Not sure if cheating but i used Numpad to steer my mouse and get 100 perfect clicks easily ;d

I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but I have 40.000 clicks and 1016 perfect, so with around 4000 clicks (for me: 8 buttons), you should have enough. That’s easily anyway (especially when you use shift on it, try if you did do that before.)

The idea is just to post stuff that you feel bad about. BTW I’d like to ask everyone not to respond negatively on other people’s “confessions”. I believe people did post their stuff because no one got reprimanded over it, and it would be nice to continue that way.

I raged quit and posted a rage comment after losing my save file. Though to be fair, I lost about 5000 RC, which isn’t something you can re-earn easily. Still, that’s no excuse, and I feel pretty bad about it. I will return, just need some time to cool down. Peace!

I knew chocobonight was a cheater by looking at his various scores on lists Most cheaters are pretty blatant, at least if they’re serious about it and it isnt like a one time or occasional thing. If you dont want anyone to know you cheat, you need to be subtle and only cheat once in a while or on relatively minor aspects of the game.

I used a auto clicker to click “ants” so I can Idle with boost on “anti idle mode” (like chochbonight) :P I think I’m still gonna use cause I never submit score anyways, and I’m the competitive type (but I like competing with friends or myself) Just now I changed the clock to “july 7th” and got daily rewards so I could still have my streak up to now cuz i lost my save file today I USED to use auto-clicker for button I’m going to use cards from legendary boxes from exploited rewards EDIT: and I’m continuing to reverse clock to claim rewards with more to come. I’m not submitting score ^^

Before explosion I had Hero sword with 25 speed and with +20 attack enchants (so 100 more attack). It takes me hundreds of back ups during ~3 month..

Karma-wise I think that balances out. **EDIT:** I accidentally necroed this seemingly dead thread. My bad, I followed a link here and never looked at the dates, but it’s too late to fix it now. I guess I will post my guilty stuff soon. Testing to see how numbers work 1 5 8

**WARNING: format of this post is a little screwed up, I tried to fix but could not** Gameplay related and Non gameplay related guilt due to bad things I have done. Each entry will have facts, a guilt meter, and my attempt at justification. Unless noted, all my shinanegins were pre-explosion. It never occured to me I could do some of the old things again, and I stopped playing as actively so I guess I was not bothered. I have never used an auto-clicker though, every click has been my own. # Gameplay related **1).** While I never actually erased a save file and restored it I found I could open the game twice then if I failed an enhancement I could close the offending window and contiune on like nothing had happened. Several of my pieces of armor got 5 of the +5 enhancers. That is part of my records, I assume my weapon might have been similarly enhanced but I don’t have records on it. **Guilt-meter:** Worst thing I did on Anti-idle **Rationalization:** Other people were doing it too. (that kind of thinking leads to the dark side) **2).** Reset my system clock when lag prevented me from getting the zebra boost I was entitled to based on when I had activated the zebra. On three occasions lag from playing other Kong games on my computer caused me to not get the zebra bonus I deserved (at least one case it was not the full 4 feedings, I only reset the clock to get the 2 I was due). **Guilt-meter:** none, I only included it because other people on this topic did. **Rationalization:** I was suppose to get those feedings, really. **3).** Did the same two windows open maneuver on some of my gold anniversary boxes. I forget what they had in them so I don’t remember what I was trying to rig. Even though it is the same method as #1 above it is listed seperately because I didn’t remember until I started writing **Guilt-meter:** greater than average **Rationalization:** Had totally forgotten about it so I was not losing any sleep over it. **4).** I didn’t, and still don’t, refresh the game that often. Pre-explosion it allowed me to keep holiday bonuses or double xp on longer. I don’t do it intentionally for those bonuses though, I just always leave the game on for days at a time. I have probably benefitted by delaying nerfs but I have also missed out completely on things like double xp days, enhancers and starting new features on time. For example I didn’t get a pet until about 5 days after Tukkun released them. **Guilt-meter:** really low **Rationalization:** Knowing karma probably has made me miss as many good things as I delayed the bad. **5).** Only once, when my computer crashed, I installed a sol editor. I had taken a screenshot to record something else during the day. I used the screenshot to set my YC, GC, and level to what was displayed on the screenshot. I also edited my total exp earned to match the minimum for the level in the screenshot. I’m not sure that even mattered but I didn’t want my exp not to match my level. I looked at other things but was not even sure what they did so I left everything else alone. This would have meant I still lost things like pixels, equipment drops, adventure rep, and so on. This regained me the day and a half I lost due to the crash. I should really figure out if XP will let me auto-backup my files daily without me actually doing anything. **Guilt-meter:** I felt dirty inside, I should just suck up my loss as others have. **Rationalization:** I had solid evidence that I had earned those levels/coins. **6).** Used a calculator for pre-explosion Math Master **Guilt-meter:** reminded me of cheating in highschool **Rationalization:** It probably only slowed me down **7).** Used the tab button to do things quickly: pre-explosion Lolmarket gems, open thousands of boxes, buy items from shops, feed pet. Things like that. I’m not even sure it’s not intended. Sometimes it does feel like a hack though. NOTE: I still do this one too, I opened 13,106 gambler boxes yesterday and that would have re-aggrivated my wrist had I done it without tab/space. **Guilt-meter:** None if Tukkun intends it to be used in this way **Rationalization::** I pretend Tukkun intends it to be used this way **8).** Used guides to figure out how do do the secret achievements. Note: I only found out how to do it, I am still unable to do many of them, survivor being the most difficult. **Guilt-meter:** Aurian probably now hates me **Rationalization:** I use guides all the time to figure out secret achievements in many games, I’m a sociopath. **9).** After reading other posts in this topic last night (I followed a link Draconi had posted elsewhere) I used the windows magnifier to get my 3 perfect button clicks. I feel like a noob now because after taking 15 clicks do do it magnified last night I managed to do it again last night unmagnified in 8 clicks and this morning in 14 just to prove I could do it legit again. **Guilt-meter:** Some at first, now none **Rationalization:** I managed to do it legit before I went to bed. # Non gameplay related. **1).** This will sound stupid to most people but my biggest source of guilt while playing this game is not contributing more to the guides/information about the game. I have a good amount of knowledge about the game and several personal spreadsheets 1 that could assist other players (ok almost all that knowledge is also floating around these forums but I could have put it there first). **Guilt-meter:** Unexplainably high **Rationalization:** Knowing that writing guides may be next to impossible for me to really do. It took me 2 hours of solid research and typing to write a email on borderlands strategy to my play group. A real guide on a feature of this game may make me exceed the Kong post length limit. (This post took me over 14 hours from start to finish) **2).** Flaming others in the past (possibly future), this includes accusations of cheating where I am just taking other posters words for it or have not taken all the information into account. **Guilt-meter:** Sorry **Rationalization:** Sometimes my posts are worded harshly due to lack of sleep. Also the accused may have actually been cheating. **3).** Not donating money to Tukkun. I have played this game so much I really should pay him some money. I believe that providing my entertainment deserves to be repaid. I think about how much I spent on Heroes of Gaia before I quit and I wish I had some of that money back. A good game needs to be rewarded. **Guilt-meter:** highish **Rationalization:** There is no easy way to do it since we can’t donate to game. **4).** (I consider this not game related because it was during explosion testing and not the live version). I noticed that the new Lolmarket combined with the old version of the demand master card was way overpowered. I didn’t report it because I wanted to exploit it in the live version. I knew it was wrong at the time because I felt naughty. **Guilt-meter:** Naughty **Rationalization:** Tukkun nerfed the card anyway. # Special Mention: All those times I played AI while making my daughter become addicted to TV by watching the Wonder Pets. Bad parenting ftl. **Guilt-meter:** Guilty as charged. **What lets me sleep at night:** Exhaustion. Kids wear you out. 1 Take, for example, my Awesome Adventures spreadsheet which details thousands of adventures over a month. I created it to find the repayment time for the energy storage increase. It was all done pre-explosion so the numbers don’t even correspond to game play anymore. For anyone still reading the repayment (reputation earned from only the extra energy storage I purchased) took about a month, with the 6th being paid off in 26 days after 378 adventures. The highest rep earned from one energy during that time was 13. Payoff is probably better now since if you can spend GC and YC you can get better paying off adventures

Every 500 times you play this game, I automatically “get” $1. There’s no need to do this, really, not to even mention it’s useless. @below: No, it’s only near $7000 because many people use adblock.

$7700? Well, that’s a nice college fund you’ve got here. I hope that you’ll be able to withdraw it once you turn 18. And about the confessions – well, I did use the zooming-in on button to get the Perfectionist achievement, but I got a nicer streak afterwards, so I think it doesn’t count too much.

I’m actually really bad at that kind of thing, so both pre-explosion and post-explosion I had help with some. It would surprise me quite a bit if someone found every single one without any help from forum or code. Also, the last part is adorable =P

It’s pretty possible to _obtain_ them all, but finding out why is another case. I mean, you probably will get “This one is obvious” one at some point of the game, but it’s not that easy to determine the reason.

I really don’t think anyone would get Nightmare without intentionally going for it. Yes, most of the others you could get eventually or by accident, but I for example would never have gotten Serious Business, Greedy or Chuck Norris without hints. I still think Chuck Norris achievement is dumb and lame, the only way someone would get this without knowing is by mistake, and that’s one heck of a mistake \>\_\>

Chuck Norris is actually pretty easy if you’re using the ancient keybashing technique ;) As for Nightmare – weeell, if you’re on a really low level when attempting it… And I mean, really low… Then you might even get that intentionally. Serious Business is pretty hard, but still a bit easier to get than Patience is a Virtue.

Nightmare is the most annoying achievement that I have gotten (I still have lots of the arcade one’s to go, I’m terrible at them) I had to use a sp reset to get it because my reflect was to high when I started trying to get my missing achievements.

I agree that the secret achievements are for the most part way easier to do than the regular ones, but on the other hand they involve really bizarre things that noone in their right mind would ever imagine could be an achievement

I exploited a glitch in my cell phone to make my mouse vibrate and claim rewards in anti-idle mode while I was away, for 4 hours or so. I came back, used an almost sure to succeed attack enhancer (which I enhanced too) on my Nagimaki and it broke. In a fit of rage I blew my 200 million pixels and nearly all my CM in a monster craft which resulted in an Ox Tongue, which had worse stats. Then I tried to use a speed enhancer on that and it broke too. FML. :(

I necroed this post because UltimateChaos posted the link in chat and they should get credit for finding it. I regret nothing.
