[Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem
Those of you who have not been following the discussion on audiogames.net may be unaware that Jeremy/Aprone has had to devote increasing time to anti-hacking measures for Swamp. This has been escalating for the last two weeks and has substantially delayed new releases with more maps, guns and perhaps mission types. On AG, he expressed a completely understandable frustration that this is happening. He hasn't said he'll stop developing the game or for the community, but he has expressed understanding for those who would. Now you know I'm an Aprone fan-boy, but honestly this is becoming a serious problem. A few bad actors are threatening access to the current leader in game popularity for reasons best known only to themselves. The best way we can minimize the problem is with information. I'm asking on behalf of the entire Swamp community that if you have information on persons deliberately seeking to cheat, hack or otherwise interfere with the proper functioning of the Swamp game, please contact Aprone and give him information. The sad truth is that in the arms race between offense and defense in this arena, the hacker always has the initiative, so software solutions aren't likely to be the way to solve this problem, but if we can bring social pressure by publicly outing the offenders, banning them from our communities, shunning them personally and otherwise isolating them and removing any support they have, it may become more trouble than it's worth to them to continue their bad behavior. It's said that sunshine is the most effective way to kill mold/mildew. Information and public knowledge may well serve the same purpose in this situation. And if any people engaged in this behavior are reading this, please know that you have engaged the anger of an actual witch and magical warrior. Your belief is in what I say is immaterial, just know that misfortune is headed your way.

Wow. I didn't know it had gotten that bad. I just hope the new measures are able to deal with the problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem
Thanks, hackers, for ruining the world. Stop being stupid and start playing the game the way the rest of the people do, by shooting zombies, rather than trying to type fast enough to outrace the guy who made this whole thing possible. To Jeremy, I honestly don't kno0w what the people who are hacking can do to your stuff or to others' accounts, but unless and until people can interact more personally, it may be best to let them get bored rather than getting stressed out. If they can't do anything but make themselves look cool in a sad attempt to add meaning to their pathetic lives through cheating, maybe it's not worth fighting them, if it's going to stress you out, Jeremy.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem
Unfortunately, I do have another point to make. While I don't aggree at all with hacking of any kind, I do want to make sure that I bring up a point that Aprone made way back when castaways whent multiplayer. We were all clammering for a multiplayer game, and Aprone made it a point to write several messages informing us that hacking *would* be a problem. He also foretold a situation like this in which the developer has to fight a war with the hackers. This, then, shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us. - 'Original Message - From: lenron brown lenro...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Sat, 12 May 2012 19:00:20 -0500 Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem you hackers stop hacking my favorite game.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, a growing problem
Dallas it's true that in this particular game most of the hackers have only been cheating on their own characters which doesn't affect other people. This isn't true for all of the troublemakers though. The other issue is that people hacking and cheating are guaranteeing that the game will continue to remain where characters can not impact on another. It removes that option as a direction to take the game's development. but then, the thing we have to remember to, is in a game like swamp, cheeting might give the player who is doing so what they want, but that really doesn't effect other players. its in games where it effects the other players that its a mjor problem. dallas --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
