Does Hitech want reports of people suspected of scamming the 2 week free trial period? You know, the ones who keep signing up for 2 week free trials under different user IDs? I'm not sure Hitech can really do much about it but thought I'd ask.
There. Thanks for the suggestion to modify it. I've e-mailed the post to hitech.

Ooops. Just realized this topic is against the rules but don't know how to delete it. I'll copy and paste it on to an e- mail for hitech. Sorry.

Might be a shade vultcher. :)

I would email support@hitechcreations.com instead of putting it on the bbs here man. Especially naming names and all.

If you can still modify your original post, just go in and delete the text you wrote. There will still be a thread and a post, it just won't say what it does now.

I don't think you can delete AHII the re-install and get two weeks free again.
I'm pretty sure Hitech has that covered.

I would have thought so, too. I just found it odd he shows up out of nowhere and seems to do it- at least so far- in 2 week increments.
I'm sure if someone worked on it they could figure a way around it. Uninstall game, delete cookies, switch IP addresses, and so forth.
-
IMHO public speculation about the way how it could work isn't a good idea either...

There is a way to do it. When I deleted my account a while back I was able to get anther free trail when I signed back up.

Really? your kidding right?

how many cheap dumb arsees could there be.....
get a life kids...go turn in your bottles and cans and pay the dues...

Its also a little suspicious to of had a 34 k/d last tour in fighter! (http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/skep.gif) 34 kills in 12 sorties! hmmm! (http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/naughty.gif)
<S> xtiger I'm not sure i could of kept my composure (http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/shakingmad.gif) if it was me he was giving such a hard time to, like he was doing to you!

That's less than 3 kills/sortie...

............Which is outstanding for someone on a trial
-
Oh, right. Brain fart, sorry, carry on :D
-
Once in ten years have I been able to sign up for a two week trial after 6 months or so of no account activity.
And then I did not renew after the trial.......for a few weeks, then I resubscribed.......
Go figure!!!!
If you cant afford $14.95 a month then you truly do suck "beyond words".....

Leave it to me to do the forums after beer o'clock. That post doesn't have a "Modify" link like I used for the first post to change it.
-

And remember that's a Kill to Death ratio. He hadn't been killed so all his kills count up to a huge kill/death ratio. I believe I saw a kill on him before he changed names, though.
-
Try letting go and just do as Hitech posted.
No sense continuing this thread so can the possible problem might propagate.
-

A lot of us aren't that far off from not affording it. Reconsider what you just stated with unemployment as high as it is and families to feed, bud.
-
iv'e witness this guy also i don't think hes scamming the game but what i think he's doing is when he gets killed hes changing his name the 1st name he had up to 77 kills no deaths then i seen he had 1 death he changed the name to wham bam and so on
-
Interesting thought, LD. What's odd is he lasted about two weeks with his first name before switching (although maybe the kill is why he did it). I've marked my calendar to see if he disappears in another two weeks.
-
Frankly the guy is nothing special....the way he flies its not suprising is k/d is high yet is k/t is low. Timid.....
-
aka Artorius
-
I just noticed he got killed once. Probably yesterday. If he changes names again, that would support Lazydog's theory.
-
Heres something else they do with the trials.

So this guy is the squadron's shade account pin cushion that they use to pad their scores? Sad.
ack-ack

I don't get it? It looks like an average score page to me :rolleyes:
-
anything that isnt aboveboard is pretty low.I am at the top of the suck list but it is done fairly
-
I'm not sure but Lazydog might be right; He might be trying to keep just 0 kills on his scoresheet. Neither of the other ghosts have been playing today but there's a "Zeus" up in MidWar today with the same sort of scoresheet and I don't seen any scores for him over the last two months, so he must have just changed names again.
He also got my attention by texting an unasked- for snide remark along the same lines of the comments he made to me the other day.
Also, Rodent57 seems familiar with him so he's been up before under that name, although I don't see any scores for him except for beginning of this tour. It looks like he must be changing user ids regularly to make it look like he's never been shot down. I guess the guy has some issues to deal with.
As an aside, I'm surprised he gets those type of usernames back. You'd think someone would of scooped them up before him.

Click on the Killed By links.
Roughly half (220 ish) of their deaths were by FBAaron.
FBAaron got some explaining to do...
-
34 kills in 12 sorties! hmmm!
i know someone that does that in 5 sorties, and they're all legitimate kills. guess that blows that theory!
-
FBAaron got some explaining to do...
Id say several in that squad appear to have some explaining to do.....
his isnt the only recurrent name on that list

WITCH HUNT!!! BURN HIM!!!
-
Lookin at the scores I doubt the other FB's had any idea not padding 1 or 2 kills.
Looks more couple squaddies flyin with 1 less than honrable squaddie.Figured they had a noob that just kept coming back.
-
No witch hunt. Remember what skuzzy said, he'll take that scoring sys away if we abuse it. I was only making a point that that is what some people use their 2nd accts. for. I probably should have used an old one that everyone already knew about as an example.

It sure seems like abuse, and I think some questions need to be asked, but if he's paying for the 2 accounts how do you handle a situation like that. Is it cheating, not my call and he's only scamming the scoring system it's not as if he's winning any prizes and in the long run he's only hurting himself and his credibility.

He is right. If this toolbox have two paid account, how can you classified him as a cheater. Beside messing up the scoring systeme. How desprate do you have to be to be rank #1, get a life.
-

Ask Biggamer how desperate he is to get #1 rank in the MW arena.
ack-ack
-
Probably 9 out of 10 would call it dishonest play. I myself only call it cheating.
And it must be exhausting. Going to all that trouble just to end with with a K/D of 393/338.
-
That is a very ignorant statement.
hit a nerve eh larry. lol
-

Funny thing is, the guy in question couldn't ever get a #1 overall ranking. If you look at his stats he only seems to fly in Fighter mode. You can't get #1 overall only flying in Fighter mode. Maybe he just wants to be the #1 Fighter? Actually, I think he's got more issues going on than that.
-
The Freebirds should dump this guy!

I think I blew half a beer out my nose.

I think it was around 2000 when this was fixed ;)
I know that...errmmm..because I heard of it... Before this time you only had to use different email-accounts to get another 2 week trial... :D
-
Thats ok, I was told by a individual lastnight he has multiple accounts. He said he has 5 acccounts and will have 6 by summertime,lol. He supposely uses them to give him supplies/ bomb, etcc..
-
This is true. Although with various proxy tools, one can change their IP and/or use a "proxy" gateway to throw off the system. But in the end, 90% of player's do not have the ability to reup their 2 weeks without waiting a year.

But those aren't trials. He pays for them...... :confused:

Back when artorious was yogibear I said something or did something that pissed him off. I became his squeeky toy. As such he griefed me pretty good for a few hours.
Finally I convinced him to go to the dueling arena and show me a few things. After about an hour of getting smacked down over and over again (which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy over and over gain) I finally called it a day -but not before getting a real good glimpse into this guys online persona. Definately not your standard online gaming cat. The guy definately has got something odd going on upstairs.
Afterwards I went and checked his score, as I had never heard of nor seen him before....he had 97 kills and 2 deaths...all in spit9.
Still, I enjoyed it...well, sorta.....mostly.....kinda.

Yep, someone said they thought the guy I was talking about was artorious. That sounds like this guy. Nearly always in a Spit9 and, from what I've seen, makes sure to never put himself in any danger, usually staying up high and diving down on people already occupied or hitting uppers on deacked runways.
In fact, he just threatened me with the "squeeky toy" thing. That's exactly what he texted to me about an hour ago.
He said that after I refused to apologize for accusing him of scamming the free trials. I told him I hadn't been proved wrong, at least not yet and, in any case, I wasn't going to apologize to him for anything as he didn't deserve it. He then wrote that he paid his $15.00 just like everyone else and I told him I'd take his word for it. He wouldn't let that go, though.
Anyway, the guy does have some personal issues to deal with.
Oh, and BTW, I'm even more sure now that Lazydog was right about this guy's reason for changing names. Yesterday he was Zeus. Once Zeus got killed he changed his name to Hermes, which is what he was today before he logged off.
So far it's been Whambam>Topdog>Zeus>Hermes. All in a period of about 5 days.
-
I knew someone that did that. His name was WindX(MrJinX) and he did that for at least a few months that i knew about when i was flying with him. As far as i know he was banned once HTC caught on to it.
-

No, like I said your statement "If you cant afford $14.95 a month then you truly do suck "beyond words"....." is ignorant. Maybe one day you'll have to pay bills of your own and have a family to take of. Hopefully then you'll learn the value of a dollar.
-

Followed up by yet another stupid statement.
CONGRATS you made my sig..... I was looking for a really stupid statement to put in and that fits perfectly.

The guy is very good at what he does, whoever he was/is/is going to be next. I think the last person to hand me my own bellybutton so thoroughly was nathBDP. Comes a point when you get knocked down enough times in a row you just stay down, and pray they go away. I was very happy once he got his angst out on me in the DA. He is my buddy now, whoever he is.
-
The guy is very good at what he does,
Quite frankly, I haven't seen anything extraordinary out of him. He tends to stay in situations where he's not threatened like vulching deacked runways or hanging out way above the fight and diving down on a target that's preoccupied with someone else.
He actually got a little bold yesterday and came after me while I was busy trying to stop m3s from dropping troops in the town. That's actually a pretty safe thing to do when it's 3 to 4 against 1. He made at least 4 passes and missed. He only got the kill when I made a last ditch suicide run on the m3 at the maproom and ran into the building.
Of course, then he comes up with the "Easy xtiger kill" line. I really felt, if I didn't have to deal with the troop carriers, I could have probably taken him fairly easily in that fight.
I am not impressed with him although I know Rodent57 seems pretty impressed. He just seems like a coward to me.
