View Full Version : disconnect cheat?

Lately, I've been getting disconnected from games at highly suspicious times. In the past month, I've been disconnected three times while facing an oppponent with a record of at least 1100, and I'm usually disconnected when it becomes clear I will win. I get the feeling there may be a disconnect cheat because I have very few problems with my internet connection, unless I'm winning a high stakes game of TAO. If there is a problem here, this has to be fixed. My record is 1250 and I don't want to drop 50 points to some newb. If you know about this please speak up.

are you saying any words that are banned, like nigeria or any sware words?

your being paranoid, there's no means for someone to DC a particular other person.

I believe you are both connected to the server not to each other. The server is a relay for the information passed during battle. (I could be wrong here)
But if I'm right, then the only way to disconnect you is to instruct the server to do it. And I don't think even mods have that power.

I do this with the neopets server all the time you have to email a certain set of instructions to the server to fool it into thinking things like you have 90000000 neopoints.

Most points you can lose/gain in a game is 32.

I thought it was 30 anyways what does nigeria do. I can't figure any word out of it except one, but the one I see is missing a letter to be a bad word.

No it doesn't. The actual word is spelled with two Gs. Nigeria is just an unfortunate byproduct of censorship--it doesn't actually involve the "N" word except for its similarities.

which is still kinda moot anyways, since what kind of idiot listens to his opponent and actually falls for these things repeatedly?

I remeber you used to be able to make your name like "coolnesexpert (something spelt like that) and the server would disconnect you b/c you said sex.but they fixed it

DR could, I don't think the current admins know how to do so.

I know the real "N" word is with 2 g's, but that is the only word that fit in Nigeria.

They have to login to the database, and manually DC a certain connection. It's not something done in game, and isn;t something Bills has figured out I think.

Yeah at the moment I believe only Seed and Bills have the most power over the servers, i'm still not sure what Bo1 does, Redbones, well he's doing something else for TAO, and Sergiy is are friendly neighboorhood spider-admin.

There is no disconnect cheat and people with high stats shouldnt be using it if there is one!
