A hacker.

Post by Cicious »

Yes, we got ourselfs a hacker.. We are being raiding for couple of days by a single guy, managing a ram on his own! He also got into our village with an alt, while we have no HS, all gates are griefed and closed, and he didn't hope as we found no HF's at all. There's NO way he could get into the village, no walls were down. He managed to memorize us as we logged in, and yet we don't have HS. He seems to be logging in at the same time we log in, which is really REALLY odd. We also haven't been betrayed, we are with 4 people, 1 is in Chicago, 2 of us wouldn't do this and the other one would never do it either. The only gate that isn't griefed is claimed... I've no idea how he managed to get it..

So what do you guys think of it?


EDIT :
Pictures will come in later :shock:

How do you know he handles a ram on his own?
How do you know he has you kinned?
What is the criterion behind "being from Chicago" that makes a guy trustworthy?

So many questions...

What do you mean when you say your gates got griefed? Did he build a second gate in front of the first one? Because a single guy can do that wothout a problem. Are your cornerposts sealed? Also it sounds like only one gate is claimed. BIG mistake, really big mistake.

It is possible to build and operate a battering ram for a single person.
To take down a palisade wall with a battering ram, you only need summary 110+ strength of all characters operating a ram. Quantity doesn't matter.
If he's strong as Str >= 110, then he can tear down your palisade alone with a ram.
If his strength is over 300+ - he can take it down with a pickaxe or just an axe or even unarmed.

There is no hacking, it's a legal game mechanics.
Victory needs no explanation. Defeat allows none.
Победа не требует оправдания. Поражение не имеет его.
