Show Of Force

Snizza

Let me break it down again as a few people like Serenity don't seem to grasp the concept of the topic. I posted this on here as in the past the same thing has been done with other games, and MSE'rs have used their voice to change that companies policies on that game so cheats cannot win. If you can't get that Serenity I certainly don't want your help. I'm just here to comp not to make friends.

Secondly RAC replied to the complaints. They claimed the highest score possible is 3900 but they themselves can only manage 700. They also confirmed what I said in the original topic on this, whilst people are going into the game trying their hardest they may not actually stand a chance as the game is rigged so that randomly it chooses a person and gives them the chance to hit a higher score than possible for anyone else. RAC have said that. So some people will break past the 1000 barrier if they are lucky enough to get chosen for it.

Which brings me back to cheating. Ryan Pullen is back near the top of the table AGAIN. Same as the other day, so are you telling me that he just so happens to be a lucky person that he gets chosen every week? I rest my case.

Swiftly moving on.

Games have been known to allow players to achieve a higher score at certain times of play - one company running a flash game based competition admitted this and I think the RAC have just said the same thing in regards to this.
This strangely doesn't explain how the same players manage to play the game during these specific "high score" times, especially when there is a limit to how many times you can play.
Overall - to have the winner be the person with the highest score, when games are already set to give certain players an advantage, is quite unfair.
It should be a random draw to give everybody the chance.
Also, anyone thinking these games cannot be manipulated, hacked into etc. please think again!
Last thing (lol) call the OP all you want, but it's true on here that there are cheats who use the forum but when they are named/asked about why or whatever.. a clique of people want to jump in with their nonsense too!

My advice? Don't play the game.
It seems to be stressing you out so just move on to the next comp. I personally don't do those types of comps anyway.

Job's a good'un then, the previous high scores are well within the limits of the game which is the only point I was making, means there are somewhere in the region of 75-80 good drops.

If the drops are random then some games will be much easier than others without the need for any "special" easy moments.

I am old enough to remember many years of there only being 2 television channels but on one go scored 1073, no doubt a better player would have set a new high score on the same game, that's just the way the cookie crumbles/tools drop. (I only enter game ones if at least some of the prizes are given on a random draw)

Not sure why some people are so adamant cheating doesn't go on in these Flash based games. It does, and it's quite widespread. This is why I don't enter game comps now that have "highest score wins".

Personally, I'm aware of at least two free utilities (one begins with a 'C' the other with a 'G' - not giving the full names as I really don't want to exacerbate the situation) that allows you to modify memory addresses (say to change the memory address containing your current score from "10" to "10000") and also hook into the Flash process to change the speed of the game anything from double or triple speed right down to a crawl.

Those bits of kit mind you weren't created for cheating at competitions, only for people to make their own video game cheats and trainers. But, this is what resourceful people get up to.

If I remember correctly, there was a competition in the last year or two to win one of 12 PS3's. The cheating was so rampant they ended up donating the prizes to charity.

Not sure many are "adamant cheating doesn't go on" and I am sure it does but there is a big difference between a high score being possible to get fairly (however unlikely) and a high score that is unachievable in real gameplay.

At the end of the day mjm the topic is about the ones cheating on these games. Doesn't matter if at certain points a good score is attainable, the fact the same names end up on the leaderboard constantly tells you it's cheats who are gonna bag the prizes. The Topic was to counteract that and get RAC to take note and change their policies. But you lot would rather defend the rights of the cheats by just arguing against the idea of banding together and complaining.

Yes as many do you can walk away and just not play it. Personally I don't like cheats so I'm willing to say something about it.

Move on and find a comp where people aren't cheating

There's not many of them around these days! Loads of people are cheating in some way or other.

I have worked in the past on providing such games , unfortunately , Snizza is more than justified in his/her observations , these games are very open to cheating , it is something that people will find a way around if the intent is there .Personally although reading some comments and having genuine beliefs to their words I have to side with Snizza and commend him/her on the observations . The only way to stop these promotions ,is to show a stand of force , i.e. all of us ganging together and complaining . Just seen someone comment if you can't beat them , join them, it is cheating , I personally want to win everything going , but I want to win fairly thank you very much .
