This is my last post on the subject, but I think you are overreacting and mistaken about what may have happened here.

If there is missing news, I'm sure it is just a glitch in the system, etc., gains rehosted eestats on his servers; however, as you can see on many pages, there are still errors, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's not all working 100%.

But it's better to have partially working eestats than no eestats at all.

In all sincerity, no one is out to get you here, at least not in relation to Eestats. You are being paranoid.

I hope this helps you.

Example to back up my statement:


Notice: Undefined offset: 1441 in /var/www/html/eestats.com/country.php on line 460

Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /var/www/html/eestats.com/country.php on line 460

EEstats only has a copy of the news it gets from Earth servers, so the data isn't necessarily the same if there was some kind of issue during the import process.

Oh, ok, so it could just be some data corruption on EEstats or a missed import from the API. Gains is the man who could look into it, but it's honestly not that important prob. Search in-game news and see if your attacks are still there?

Oh, I thought he got deleted. I am not sure the mods can roll back attacks, but I could be wrong. I think that's more of an Admin thing to do or someone with more access to the game data, etc.

It would probably be a manual thing for an admin to do. Are you sure attacks were reverted, Cath?

The only time I've ever been deleted was because Slag enforced the rule of making another game account to play (even if it was still just one country, no multis, etc) so that I could avoid detection via the leaderboards.

The deletion, I feel, was unfair because it has not been enforced equally over the years, and I think that Slagpit used it to get his adversary (Chevs) deleted– I am also sure there was some outside persuasion as well lobbying for it.

I find it funny that you can post the most vulgar stuff on the forms, but if you send an in-game message, that gets you deleted.

Yeah, it would be an excellent way to block market transfers. You could see what the low price is set as in an attempt to get some of it/ mess up a transfer.

The biggest threat right now to fair competition is market transfers– on alliance-based servers.

The same idea then– premium || patron only server.

Earth 2025 had a similar concept, which I think they called Limited.

If you want to remove the yellow highlighted bot country indicator, he will have to change the name generation and not allow it to be open source. At this time, all it does is put an artificial barrier on people who do not code. If I know how the name generation works, I can make a tool to find bots anyway. I doubt he will work to improve bots, so I say mark them all. It's not that I disagree with your post; I don't have confidence in any meaningful change. (I want this same functionality for Alliance as well)

That's how I look at it, at least. Given the current state of the name generation, among other indicators of a bot, it's pointless not to mark them and only puts a barrier to entry for non-coding folks in the community.

Disappointing to read this. I didn't see the part below the ad at first glance.

How are you getting ads? You have Patron.

He was talking about the ad on Imgur, but yes, I am getting FULL SCREEN ANNOYING ads as a coin buying Patron...

I will never go to a hotel, airport, flight, etc. _without_ using a VPN. In 2024 it is very necessary. Plus what TC says about the difference is also true.

The difference is that proxies strictly act as a gateway between the internet and users. 
VPN traffic runs through an encrypted tunnel and the user's device, making VPNs an effective solution for 
ensuring network security.

If a technically savvy person wants to run multiple countries, it can be done without detection, so it is a false sense of security to say that VPNs are not allowed while making people choose between the benefits of a VPN vs playing EE.

First and foremost, I appreciate Prime's comments for clarification and his interest to protect the integrity of the game.

Issue:
Some players circumvent detection of cheating by changing their IP address before logging in/out of game.

EE's current solution:
Prohibit methods which allow a player to change their IP address.

Problems:
1. Language of rules doesn't list VPN as not allowed. It only lists "proxies" and not "vpns". They are not the same.
2. Preventing both still doesn't prevent a user from using their wifi at home IP vs their cellphone IP (not on wifi).
3. Disallowing users to use VPN makes them exposed to hackers on public or unprotected wifi. (namely to man-in-the-middle attacks)

I personally use a VPN because its main purpose is to "encrypt" your data and to provide anonymity.

I have proposed a solution to the developers on other ways that would be far more effective at detecting cheaters; but, they chose not to implement them.

I do understand the MODs have the final say of what is/is not allowed in the game & if the decision is to not allow VPNs please let me know and I will not play.

I agree with this.

Many of us want to ensure that any bans are justifiable and not a result of abuse of position. The accused claims that the ban is baseless, but without evidence or proof, I am inclined to believe him and assume his innocence given the circumstances and history at play.

I don't operate on ifs or speculation. My mind can be changed with evidence.

On one hand I have a guy who hasn't posted much at all for weeks tell me he didn't do anything and on another an Admin who randomly shows up every so often claiming he threatened someone; why wouldn't an active Admin/Mod handle this situation. I obviously cannot know what he does in private, but I have a hard time believing that. If proof was shown to me, I would withdraw my complaint.

As a paying customer, I am unsure how I feel about this.

BTW– this post is not about TC. Make a new post about him if you must.

Yeah I dont see much reason to give untagged people benefits such as that.

I would also like to see the restart bonus only last for one death. If you die twice, I think you should restart completely. That should also be a very easy change to make– add a counter.
