It's a good system, but it isn't catching everyone...


How do you know?

My point being, that I have zero motive to keep attacking after I have no turns. As far as I know, I've only run out of turns two or three times. As far as macros go, I am a genius , but in Bioinformatics. I couldn't write a macro if my life depended on it. I can do my attack cycle rather quickly, even with Cyberkilla's pop-up. That's because I have unusually fast visual processing (though poor object tracking) and accurate short-term visual memory. Fairly often, I can have the Actions:Random Slaughter ready to click simultaneous with the opening of the combat outcome page.

Well, as I said on the first post, you probably aren't a cheat. I might take your name off actually.
Still, anybody above 200 violations doesn't really have a case.

I agree with Shai_Hulud.  For me, I don't even wait for the attack to finish before i press the back button twice.  I see if either my money goes up, or down; same with experience.  I just move on.  Its not uncommon for me to expend nearly 3/4's of my turns within my first hour and a half of game play, sometimes less time than that. I just go really fast on attacks, and with so many active players showing up on a single page, it makes me move quicker.  All I do is jump from one player to the next, and the computer stops me, maybe every 7 to 20 attacks. Its not a big inconvenience, but if it starts doing it to me every single time I attack, LIKE IT DID LAST NIGHT FOR A WHILE, I say screw it and leave for a bit.  People,  this does help catch macros, whether you think that its a ha**le or not.

It cannot possibly happen EVERY attack.

It absolutely certainly definitely can't.
It is time-based, and unless you attack very slow, you will never, ever see the captcha two attacks in a row

I just attacked several people to test this out.(smiley)

The protection appeared on my first attack and then over 20 attacks later using random slaughter and then basically exactly the same using the backspace technique from the browsing players page.(smiley)

I don't know why so many people are having problems, seems simple enough to me and a good way to catch cheaters(smiley)
