Stepping Down as Admin

due too the serious nature of certain things discovered recently i am left with no choice but to step down as admin in hope of this forcing stephen to take it seriously and act upon it as swiftly as possible if he wants me back.

even though its easier to just replace me than find and fix the issue at hand i can atleast live in hope.

a small insight for this would be an empire found in slow who gained over 5 years worth of turns in infra materials artifacts etc etc within an hour , who we found coincidently and never set off any alarm bells.

with no method to track or stop such a person from doing it again im sure you can see my angle

stephen`s replies to this issue is " yawn , im not interested " and " get back to me when you find out how hes doing it "

unable to understand the fact we found this guy from a fluke and have no such powers to " find out " all i can do really is continue wasting my time when 99% of you could find out how this is being done and do it yourself without getting caught.

so as im not an admin i pray you all do so and save yourselves 20 years of turns within an hour , of course if you wish to tell us how its done so we can handle the issue that would be nice too.

i hate cheating and i think the above is extreemly out of order from stephen.
we know hes lazy , we know he doesnt care that much for us... but the above is waaaay overkill.

if stephen takes this seriously and the problem is fixed then of course i would be happy to take the position of wasting my time helping gamestotal. untill then christmas has come early for 90% of you.

sorry to see you go maraudain, you`ve been great. Hope it can be sorted out, doesn`t suprise me they are cheating, they need sorting out one way or another, and if you don`t have the powers to do it, well GC is likley to just die. For years I`ve been on all servers, now I`m just on slow and normal, and maybe its time for me to quit too. whats the point in playing if you are going to cheat, or be forced to play with those that do cheat? :(

Sorry to see you go Maraudian. Thank you for all the work you have put into GC in the past.

This is a new low even for Stephen, and just another nail in the coffin for GC.

Lets hope you standing down helps, and you return.

I used to think very highly of this game. All the years i been playing it.. i was reconsidering getting another paid but since this little fiasco, i says fuk it. i`ll keep playing in the hopes it gets better but if stephen is gonna remain a lazy prick, and do nothing about the serious breach in security for his site, then he shouldnt be PAID for his efforts to maintain it!

Maru, I dont think leaving is the right move, I think the right move is to confront stephen again and make him listen and if he doesnt care about GC, take control of it yourself.

Any IT guys, please show your support.

im going to stop now before i get into trouble.
also i know this isnt going to be helpful, but however cheated probably used firefox & knows javascript as well
M MaraudianOP
if anyone wishes to contribute towards finding and reporting such a thing they could make a seperate account using the real name section as a form of identification , for example all GC NPC use the real name Event , so 1 quick " real name " search ensures these are NPC and not players cheating.

im sure stephen would excuse all hacking etc from these empires if the findings are reported.

but this is a suggestion and you would need to talk to him first incase he rejects this idea and goes around punishing people for trying to hack etc...

Well you mind if i try something real quick... money say if i just ping around a few simple times i can find the loose end.

Also when you blacklisted this person, did their account status change? or any staff accounts get logged into by this person. it wouldnt be uncommon but gainning access to a staffs account is slightly harder cause passwords should be encypted but most half the auto-encyption systems are already hacked & with how old GC is it wouldnt surprise me.

stephen is the webdesigner not me

i have no access or knowledge , the person who does isnt that bothered at the moment hence ive stepped down giving his staff about 10x more work that i normally do. that might motivate them to make him care. or not

Maybe we can have some gc player who is IT savvy and volunteer to find out how to cheat and locate the loopholes..
C CrazyMaverickTNM
Maraudian, if your a web-designer you should know where to look to find the problem.

plus it probably took whoever it was around a month to get all the information he needed from the server to cheat the system. Its another loophole Stephen didnt fix thats only an extra 20 letters of code.

Im not going to waste my time finding the loophole area, cause im betting it only exist in one spot & since this is a new problem i would recommend checking out the newest pages installed or changed recently.

Way to go ignoring the other cheaters in the game though ;)
