Player Zalika appears to be botting

[AcnotAlpha]

Zalika was in the Ice Caves, Whipito reported that she seemed to be botting. I went to check it out, and she wouldn't answer any of my whispers. I told her that she was being reported to the gm's, then reported her. She continued attacking, only stopping to sit when she got hit with a critical, even when I told her and Whipito that she had been reported. I have 2 screenshots, following.



Edit: Tyler says that he was talking to her, so... maybe she was just ignoring me. I'm not sure.

Tyler says that he was talking to her, so... maybe she was just ignoring me. I'm not sure.

WOW. HAHAHA. Man. You made my day! Seriously, Tyler is going to be really pissed off! Poor man. Here is the FULL story:

Zalika IS Tyler's own bot. He has a patch that allows exactly this kind of boting. You found his bot (Zalika) cheating. So the only thing he can do is to tells you "Yeah, sure, I talked to Zalika, I am whispering with her now. She is not a bot.". Just to protect the bot.

I suggest to GM to ban both Zalika and her master Tyler too. And remove all their stuff of course. Perhaps all accounts from same IP too.

I talked with Tyler few days ago. We share the knowledge. I told him technical details about my bot. He told me he was not using bot at that time. We made a deal that he would not uncover my bot. But then he did.

You also can ask KATZE about this. Tyler was reporting my bot in Hurnscald to KATZE few days ago (clover in front of Wyara's house). But I was NOT AFK when Katze came, so I don't get banned.

He most likely used my source and modify it. Heavily. I must admit, his current bot is way better than mine. No delays, very fast, precise loot tracking, no glitches. I dare say, it is almost scary. It's not 2 rocks put on keyboard anymore.

By revealing this informations, I am risking myself too, but the revenge is worth it. We have our deal with Tyler. He broke the deal. So do I. Don't play with the fire Tyler, you get burned!.

I also uploaded video of our conversation here (original video has better quality tho, Loots picked by Zalika highlighted with red color): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbRH595wzk

Screenshot of conversation is here:

We (coders, crackers, whatever) always used to be weirdos, but where is this world going now? We do report each others instead of sharing and enjoying the code? Shame on us. Shame on us.

The sad part I think of this, is that people insisting on using their coding skills for self gain and destroying the game play we have made.

You should try using your skills for good instead of evil.

Also, judging by Zefram's conversation with Tyler, Zefram has his own bot. What's its username, Zef?

Zalika/Laticia are the same person. Tyler dumped my sister to marry Laticia so he is obviously covering for her. He is very generous to wives of his so I think the also does not want her to be banned. He is obviously covering for her.

We could really need the help of bot programmers like you for programming the monster AI on Manaserv. So when you are interested in an interesting challenge feel free to consult us on #mana on irc.freenode.net

Here is another time she has been botting just today:

I kept talking to her but she would not reply. And she killed all my bats. It was very annoying.

[enchilado]

A more complete screenshot would be handy, but yes, it does seem Zalika has been botting.

[DarkLord]

And when there are no bats left she sits randomly, waiting for more bats. BOT BEHAVIOUR

[Tahli]

TYLER MARRIED ME WHEN HIS SO CALLED "GF" PLAYED THE GAME!!!? If it's his bot though... HE LEFT ME FOR HIS OWN BOT!!!? Well looks like I'm f#cked! My husband married his bot. Nice...

[DarkLord]

He married Laticia not Zalika.

Instead of acting like a bunch of lil' kids trying to get each other in trouble, how about you do you. Constantly ratting on each other doesn't help solve community drama. Complaints can be just as annoying as the people you are complaining against.

You are just adding to the drama and causing the staff to intervene more which will lead to stiffer rules, more enforcement etc. and one day you will probably be on the other end and be crying about it.

A lot of people are working hard for a self efficient community not dependent on staff intervention (including myself). Which would be a lot more pleasant than being dictated too and every post on this forum is counter productive to the cause.

This reply is not just in regards to this thread but all the stupid complaints.

[enchilado]

One day we might be on the other end and crying about it...?

Honey, I've been banned twice, and... eh... the Colonel here at least four times. So don't talk to use about being on the other and and crying!

And I think we should be ALLOWED TO BOT
