Really?
So I was looking for this tool vindicator had where you paste a first copy of sector and then paste it again a couple of hours later and it shows you the differences. I usually do it with excel but its malfunctioning on me right now. And then I ran across the "Starkingdoms Tools" site.
Wtf? Really? Now I feel like a complete idiot for spending an hour yesterday mousing over every inactive in gal 1 and arranging them by their id to track who would come out first. No wonder then that the two i found and hit 30 seconds after tick have already been owned 5-6 times.
I know one or the other scanner popped up back in the day too but even the one xLTx had in my time required you to input copies of sectors manually for which you got points that you could use on a certain amount of searches. I am sure certain people even had full automated scanners but an admission of using one was likely to mean your death. If there was any scanner, they would usually be in a small group of people and the game at least wouldn't be affected to the point that every inactives goes down to 100 land in 30 seconds.
Whoever made this and runs this, way to take the strategy out of the game. Even a player who chooses to do it manually has no chance as almost every inactive and bank is just gobbled up by the sheer size of people who can now be "pro-kingdom builders" through scanner use.
On the bright side, at least the imbecile running this doesn't have s2 and FBSK on it so there is a place to at least play semi fairly somewhere.

Except you destroyed any remaining level of strategy in the game. A private scanner in the hands of a few people rarely affects anything in the game. There is still good targets one can find manually, still good banks one can arrive through excel, etc eta because the amount of people who were using those scanners was usually 20-30 max. And all of them would be dead before round ended through some war.
No wonder the server is a giant turtle fest, why would you take any risk ever if half of the game will be notified of your land increase an hour later.

There are no decent players left.
Explore FTW
Explore/Turtling = lame round
Anti-turtle = death sentence
Calculated grabs = who's got the most time to be a nerd
War = IT'S GAME TIME, NUKKAS
love lynog xxx
He's done more for this game than a cheating sack of shit like you could ever hope to do.
what a SHIT player you really are
Enjoy your round noobs now you all have no reason to worry about being raped
P.s we are all big bad cheaters, so you better keep looking hard for our others Kds - never give up the search were out there somewhere :-))
And I most certainly plan to leave this server after this round, maybe even before that. I'd rather play on a much smaller server that hasn't gone completely batsh|t retarded.

the only difference is you've automatically assumed people are using his newbie tracking tool and your argument fails because you claim this is the reason you didnt get the first hit
his website doesnt automatically hit for you so that cant be true at all
lol that stating checking ids = skill haha. they having nothing in common its just simply too many people looking for newbie mode hits
What is relevant is that a public scanner seriously diminishes the game in a strategic sense. Building a good kingdom is comprised off right buildings/unit setup (the easy part) + being able to find good hits and banks + evaluating the risk of sending more vs leaving more at home. Those are the core parts + putting enough time and effort. This public scanner seriously affects the last three as:
a) You have simplified finding banks and grabs to a monkey level
b) You have made it impossible for players to take risky grabs as it will be instantly known by all
c) You have cut down the time and effort requirement to a minimum
After you take those three away, there is very little skill left in building a kingdom.
So really what you are moaning about is that everyone has one instead of only you and your friends?
Its an even playing field if everyone has one, so it doesnt really matter. If you noob up your gonna get rolled. Playing high probes now is probably harder than its ever been, because banks are poor and if they are good theyre raped down quick because everyone is onto them + Smaller player base.
a - false as the automatic bank finder on beans website is shit. you'd need to study the networth changes which isn't as clear cut as it sounds
b - true although in a game this small any hit ingame that seems out of place will be noticed
c - true although this isnt the old days and im sure people dont have as much time to spend on a text base game. after all time is priceless?
in the end these tools are out there in the public and there is nothing the player base can do to stop them. would you prefer they are exclusive to chosen players?
before you argue about killing the multis -> its been done and usually results in them coming back to kill you or simply being remade and scanning throughout newbie mode. as well as that killing multis results in a very boring round.
That being said, I have only been playing s1 for a few days so I maybe wrong.
We all agree, so why the QQ?
I stopped reading your argument when you implied its better for top players to have access to a scanner than all players.
personally, I hate the tick raping for inactive land. there is a severe lack of inacts after the first few days (this is even more apparent on s2)
but who says you can't compete if you don't hit inactives? My kd was top 15 land yesterday and so far, I have only made 2 hits on inacts during the first day. I got hit once on the first day as well by someone who doesn’t give a shit and got multiraped. It’s not impossible to grow without hitting inacts. You just have to make the right hits on the right actives lol
