What are the Lord accounts?

Post by tenhags »

Every world has cheaters. Some may get a little out of hand. This thread is for highlighting those potential examples.

Please identify the common attributes, or names, if multiple accounts are included.
Add screenshots when available.

I apologize if you are a real player, following the rules and implicated here. There are patterns that stand out. These should be easily detectable by Firefly on their end.

Lord81

Post by tenhags »

Given the number, a significant portion of the total Global Conflict 4 population, Lord81 is likely the most excessive.

There are some possible explanations:
  • Firefly filling otherwise empty worlds
    Firefly renaming players breaching name rules (unlikely given the number)
    SHK default names (too long since I started to know, and the clustering of these players, grouping in specific areas makes this unlikely)
    A vast group of coordinated players who created accounts with these similar names (everyone has a thousand friends who will afk a game to help out)
    An external utility program (BOT) automates based on these names
Image Evidence, verifiable cropped game screenshots:

Leaderboard search for Lord81, consecutive, 20 visible per page plus 5 or more hidden due to SHK leaderboard GUI bug (still not fixed?). The last image in this list is just the end of the leaderboard as I stopped screenshotting consecutively at 52 (over 1000/7578 players).

"Lord81" village name searches (begin and end of search):

A few specific villages to show some Lord81 villages renamed, and some other players naming their villages Lord81 (for grouping, bot automation, hiding?):

These are just villages in a small area and close proximity.

UM.....

Post by tenhags »

UMAAAAA
UMBBBBB
UMCCCCC
UMDDDDD
UMEEEEEE

Seeing a pattern? Look a bit odd for names?

At least he plays UMAAAAA, and even renamed that village to UMA.

What are the other villages for?
votes
resource ransack targets
ransackers
capturable villages for future expansion

Do you have more letters from the alphabet? The SHK search requires 4 characters, so you're a bit more difficult to track down in the GUI.

These might be valid.

USBlala
balalac
Blalala
rababaa

There may be more slight variations. Alone they sound fine. All spawning in a single county or near proximity makes them unusual.

Early end of Peace time

Post by tenhags »

Further from my prior posts, some have ended peace within the last 8 hours since my original posts. Note in the screenshots they had 2 days or more of peace time left each.

rababaa is now in Vacation Mode.
The rest of his group dropped peace.

UM group all dropped peace.

In the same county, also dropped peace (yokels, village idiots...):
HermioneGranger
SallyD
johna1

Adjacent County:
reresrrerr_mail.ru

I have yet to find a Lord81 off peace.

There are some valid tactics to drop peace early for.

Just to confirm - The Lord type accounts are unregistered guest accounts from the Mobile version of the game.

Why would FF allow unregistered guest accounts in a game already full of cheaters, hackers and alt accounts?

Good question - although I'm really pointing at the cheater, hackers and alt accounts part of your question....which will probably never be resoved.

The reason Firefly allow it is because they actually encourage it as long as you have bought a premium token for each account you can have as many as you credit card can handle. Its ALL about the money for Firefly, always has been and it wont change

Then why not delete that account after the 3 days peace? Because alternate accounts are simply extra money for the developers. Why not come straight out with it instead of feeding BS to the players.

" I'm sorry your complaint means nothing to us because we have received monies for that alternate player account so nothing to investigate". This is more like what firefly mean when you make a complaint
