It is for the email. I did not copy the source-code, and I can't find it on the SI boards anymore. But is was something like: network blabla, email: mxxxxxxx@gmail.com, password: m1sf1txxxxx, code: |

I do not understand programming like that, I just saw that e-mail & password. I did not know it is sending data to the game, just found it a bit odd.
Also, I cannot read it again as I do not have it. It is something I remember.

m1sf17 has messaged me with some ideas on how to implement some counter-measures for bots. I am working on that and will have a full-proof anti-bot feature soon that will ensure the bots will not be able to run on HP. It does not involve image recognition, or CAPTCHA. It's more like encrypting html requests.  |

Cool. CAPTCHA is very annoying and has cost me battles and stuff on other games.

But that can be bypassed by creating a decryption sequence, please note I own a self evolving AI :P
If you want a fool proof plan you need to apply physical restrictions which will only interfere with bots.

If we have to "Click X on the screen" or "Type in these letters" every 5-10 minutes, I'm quitting the game. I HATE those things.

CAPTCHA sounds like SUCH an obnoxious name, and it sounds like the way the program 'looks' for bots sucks, to.

Imagine you're competing with someone for a delete mission reward of 4k. You're both pretty close but you've got a ten second lead on the other guy so you're sitting there waiting to click "complete task." You click on "complete task" and the game stops and asks you to type in the word hidden amid a jumble of squiggles. You type it in and click "ok." The game informs you that the target file no longer exists. The other guy collected the reward in the mean time so you get nothing because of the bot check. That is CAPTCHA. |

Or...... the ultimate bot stopper... dun dun duun duuuuuun...........ummmmm............. I had an Idea....... well you could make it so that you could........... ok I got nothing........ unless...  you pour water on people when they log in, that way if they are a bot they would fry themselves  I knew I had a great idea... |

how about you make a program that checks if the person is working with such impossible automation..then bot checks.  (like, never refreshing for task completes, and such, only a bot would know the exact time..) |
