Trying to hack us?
|
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

I’m currently stuck in a forum. Every time I reload the page and choose an attack, it tells me “if you’re trying to hack us, don’t.” Every time I open up a new tab and try to choose a different forum, it tells me “if you’re trying to hack us, don’t.”
Is there anything I can do, short of “filing a bug report”, that would allow me to finish pwning this forum or not losing this visit? |

What specifically happened: I entered the subforum in Paranoid Panorama after pwning the last thread in Paranoid Panoram.
I selected a thread by hitting “1”
When I got into the thread, I was unable to use any of my attacks. The first use merits a “Don’t try to hack us” and the second use gets a “you can’t use this ability”. Reloading does not fix this problem.
I think this is just a “file a bug report and wait, thing, isn’t it? |

Are you waiting a long time before trying that 2nd forum? There’s a timeout of about 5 minutes. |

It’s been over five minutes since I started trying to pwn RotM, but I don’t honestly know about how long I waited the first time. So should I just abandon the visit? |

This has happened before, I think it was from waiting too long in between finishing pp and starting on the sub forum. ET considers it not a bug from what he said in a tubmail.
edit: ninjad while I was looking in my tubmails, heh. Wylin edited this message on 05/01/2009 4:28PM |

It’s as Wylin says.
Go right into the 2nd forum after the 1st, don’t wait for anything. See if that solves the problem. |

That solved it, but I didn’t know anything about the time out. This is only my fiftieth time in RotM, I’m surprised I didn’t encounter this before.

Why would there be a timeout for this forum, but not any others? I don’t see the purpose of such a thing. |

Note, the last time I had this problem and bug reported it, then had a few tubmails between myself and trout was back in February. He might have changed his opinion since then, I dunno. What he told me was that you need to start pwning the sub-forum within 2 minutes of when you got transferred to it. He asked me if there was any reason this would not be the case, and I guess my explanation of I had to take a leak really bad(or something like that) didn’t convince him that this was worth considering a bug. I think if you do a search for pp:rotm you’ll see this issue has been discussed a few times, that is how banhammer and myself are fairly familiar with it.

Wylin Posted: I’ve been caught out by this as well, and the game does not fail elegantly. If I try to enter any forum afterwards I get the ‘are you trying to hack us?’ page. I switched machine and only got back into the forum via the link in the wiki, at which point it wouldn’t allow me to attack any threads.
And it really doesn’t matter what reason a player doesn’t start pwning immediately though. Fact is, they don’t, and then the game craps out and provides an incorrect error message because of it. |

I wish I’d have said that. Log in to see images! That’s a lot better than the “I had to take a leak” reason.
