I'm not sure there are enough active players, I was successful with all my attempts just now, and earned very little in comparison to what I earned in less successful runs over the past few days (using the same methodology).

Just went through 5 clean ip's and got enough to upgrade my vault to lv14 (was lv12 before).
I seem to have found some pretty decent cash cows that I can rotate through (just need to find 4 more and I'll have a nice rotation going)
 
yeah, guys, don't forget to go through some (or all) of chapel's list. I just clicked through a couple dozen and most of them worked.
 
so, uh

I hate to spur on interforum drama, but this may be important to our continued play in this game... ATOT has noticed GAF's sudden rise to 11th-strongest crew and are considering an all-out strike against us.

Here are the relevant posts from their forum:

NeoGAF is coming up the ranks quick, I wonder if they are using a tool that reads rank changes. We need to watch out for them either way, they already have more people than us. [Danthrax's note: LOL WUT? We don't use tools, unless some of you are doing so and I don't know about it.]

I don't understand the obsession with attacking these few guys either. It's self defeating and holding our team back to attack unprofitable targets.

Yeah, they seem to low right now to get much out of them. If we really coordinated our efforts, we could destroy them before they rank up. However, that would be like squeezing blood from a turnip. Let's just focus on ranking up and just keep an eye on them.
 
well, shots have been fired on me by two ATOT members:

Wait wtf do they mean by tools exactly...

I don't know, but I'm scanning their 60-page thread to see if I can find out. I think it may have something to do with a tool that sees the trends of users' ranks going up or down. They look for accounts that appear to be abandoned, then rape them.


Instro said:
Soo...what ATOT members should we be hitting :D

Any of them you can hit. The highest you can, I suppose. Only do it if you have adequate defense, though.
 
I don't see the point of going after ATOT...yet. :D If we just keep adding members we will get there eventually. NeoGAF should be good for a 500+ member crew if we can keep this thread current and on the first few pages.

Good lord. I'm saving up to get lv 7 currently and the 960kish seems like a lot. I hope saving up for lv7 is worth it.

I agree, no point in attacking them (for now at least).
Would be awesome to have 500+ sized crew. If we keep on getting new people at the current rate it will probably take a few weeks (maybe less?)
 
Holy fuck, I'm being attacked all the time now. Already three ATOT members have attacked me. Goddamn it!.


ATOT is a much stronger crew though, so I'd say we first take down all the other crews on top of us. What about we start attacking OCAU members?

Of course, if we all attack them just like that, we won't get any credits and therefore don't level up, so I'd say just attack them once every two hours or so (once every 4 ticks). Just to take down their machine count. Other than that, keep farming credits from other people to improve the vault, the virus, attack and def.

EDIT - Of course, once we get on top of them, we could just stop and start attacking the next crew.


EDIT 2 - nevermind, Dhanthrax already posted the link. Hi there ATOT guys.
 
Interesting information one of their members posted five days ago:

----------
OMG, this might be the most amazing thing ever if I'm thinking about this correctly...

Ok, how are point calculated?

I know you get points for
-mhz
-kbps
-credits spent on virus
-Vault upgrades (I think?)

So, how do you lose rank?
-You get passed
OR
-You sell stuff but don't buy anything

If someone is ranked highly and they lose a lot of spots, what does that mean?

Does that mean that they have sold a bunch of stuff and have a ton of credits just sitting there?
Possible scenario - You think you have enough saved up to do an upgrade to a level 7 virus (960,000), so you sell all your stuff. You screwed up and you're short just a little bit... what do you do? You don't want to buy all your defense back right away since you'll lose 25% of your credits... so instead you hold onto it and pray to god that nobody attacks you for the next turn so you can get that little extra bit to put you over the edge to buy the next virus upgrade.

Is that what's happening?

Of course this ranking is out of date now by 18 minutes. They may have gotten their extra credits by now and made the virus upgrade or they've spent all those credits. Or their vault is so incredibly huge that it's all safe.

Players that just had a huge drop:

#112 duckiE (-26)
#107 Cyrax (-36)

I don't have any IPs to check

If someone has one and wants to check it out, please report back.

(If you're going to do it, let us know. I don't want 10 people to waste attacks on a bogus target)

EDIT: I attacked Cyrax this round and got nothing. I don't know if that proves anything. I got 46% and that was 0.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but maybe this last update allowed him to get the last bit of credits to buy his virus upgrade?

If he makes a huge jump next update, I think that will help confirm this theory. If he goes nowhere, then I'm smoking crack for this whole scenario.
----------


So yeah, that appears to be the theory they're working off of. This is his Excel worksheet: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu//spmclaughlin/web/Random/HackcessToolv5.xls I'm not sure when it was last updated, though.

In any event, we can do this ourselves.

1) Compile list of every player and their rankings
2) Put into Excel speadsheet
3) Wait a while
4) Repeat steps 1 and 2
5) Excel spreadsheet calculates players' rises and falls in rankings
6) Attack people who have fallen the most
7) ????
8) Profit!

EDIT 2 - nevermind, Dhanthrax already posted the link. Hi there ATOT guys.

It's not just about taking their non-vaulted money. It's about destroying their infected machines, which seriously hampers their continual income. So, yes, coordinated strikes against OCAU's members would be effective with a little luck.

If anything we should join forces with ATOT to take down luelinks :lol
True. But LUELinks doesn't even fucking exist, how can we spy them? D:


EDIT - Found the OCAU guys as well:

http://forum.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=796551&page=65

They don't seem to be very motivated so we should be on top of them in a few hours top.

EDIT 2- Oh well, OCAU just got to rank 9 and now we have TheFagBrigade (!?) on top of us. They are 3 so we shouldn't even bother :lol

I know I know, but you can't register there, can you? As far as I know you have to join there via invite.
 
I was under the impression that LUE was completley closed to anyone that didnt already have access, then again i dont really pay attention to what goes on at Gfaqs, and they've starting allowing invites.

Anyway it seems like the crews ahead of us now, especially the low member count ones all have pretty high ranked users so its going to be difficult to attack them.
 
I finished reading their entire thread at ATOT. It doesn't appear they're even using their own tool anymore. At least, it doesn't appear to have been updated in about three days.

They talked a bit about making a web-based auto-updating script but don't seem to have finished it. One guy made a beta and PMed it to people but it never went gold, so to speak. So they're not garnering some huge advantage or anything.

In fact, it appears most of their members have lost interest, so a large number of their 65-player base is likely idle and ripe for attack.





[edit] never mind, one of their players apparently made something in SQL:

Originally posted by: wahoyaho
;p I usually just pick targets out of the sql table that I made that has their rankings drop consecutively for the past few rounds (say 6~7+).

Also, this guy's account, "wahoyaho" is apparently a dead one. He gave it up. I think. Unless that's a ruse =P
 
Oh man I gotta keep on top of this thread! Going through a bunch of team mate links right now, thanks biggyfries ;)

EDIT: I just clicked everyone @_@ I'm pooped.

Have we thought of maybe moving any important info to the Online forum? Could be a special thread for coordination on attacks or strategy? That is if no one on those other networks has access to GAF as a user which I would most likely think they wouldn't but who knows.

Other than that I think we should focus on building our own ranks, because we are in a middle area right now and the only reason we are high ranks as a crew is because we have so many members actually playing.

Yeah lets not attack them for now, i think its in the interest of both parties if we're at peace for now. Perhaps some kind of alliance to pew other clans?

Hardly doubt they do. And even if they make one it would take them months until they are accepted :lol
But again, and as you said, rather than attacking we need to concentrate on just leveling up. Too many of us around levels 300-700.
 
OCAU looks like it's dead. No one's posted in their thread since Aug. 24, unless they all PMed each other and skittered off to some sekrit forum.

Sorry for the crappy OP.

Awesome, thanks biggyfries. We should probably move all our operations over there to avoid giving our rivals any intel.

The problem with that is losing activity in this thread means no new recruits. We need to keep this thread active and primary, but any discussion on attacks or things like that should be on the private thread. Just tell people to go there or link to it if you post something there you want people to read.
