Not sure there is one...

If there was, it would be under the "Plugins & Addons" subforum of this forum.

I don't really think there is though...

Edit: Would that even be allowed? :?

How was this possible?

2008-06-02 15:15:50 - ace1bama gets a card
2008-06-02 15:15:50 - Incrementing game to round 3
2008-06-02 15:36:01 - Deltron receives 4 armies for 12 territories
2008-06-02 15:36:03 - ace1bama receives 2 armies for holding Oceania
2008-06-02 15:36:03 - ace1bama receives 5 armies for 16 territories
2008-06-02 15:36:05 - Deltron deployed 4 armies on Siam
2008-06-02 15:36:05 - ace1bama deployed 7 armies on Indonesia

I waited nearly 20 minutes in this 1v1 game, and within 2 seconds of me clickping Being Turn he had clicked, and within 2 more seconds had deployed armies exactly where he needed to defend Ocania. The fast deploy, sure, but I find it hard to believe this guy was sitting there for 20 mintues clicking refresh.

Sad thing is he did sit there hitting refresh for 20 minutes then how he placed so fast and started at the same time is clickable maps.

This one seems semi legit, but still disgustingly fast.

2008-06-02 15:43:52 - ace1bama receives 2 armies for holding Oceania
2008-06-02 15:43:52 - ace1bama receives 5 armies for 16 territories
2008-06-02 15:43:54 - ace1bama cashed in a set of Venezuela, Middle East, and Egypt worth 6 armies
2008-06-02 15:43:58 - ace1bama deployed 13 armies on Southern Europe

I'm new here, are bots allowed?

I don't think bots are allowed, but I could be mistaken.

Try this link for Clickable Maps.

It's not an autostart/deploy script, but some people say that it makes things a lot faster deploying, attacking, etc. I don't know because I don't use it, but that's the word on the street ;)

Edit: I'm an idiot...clicky fixed!

We don't have a specific rule against bots, but you definitely couldn't have a bot account and a human account.

Lots of people do sit around hitting refresh if they see you online.

With clickable maps and a fast net connection, while it is a little dubious, that is certainly a conceivable deployment.

If bots do make a showing and become a problem, then we'll take action against them :)

There was a disucssion on this a while back. http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=45126. If you believe the reply, there is a bot or script or something floating around, but not publicly available.

Alas, I am one of those people who you really piss off when stopping in the middle of a freestyle game to get a strategic "other guys away" advantage. If you need time to strategize, eat, get busy with the GF, whatever, that's all legit. But it's dishonorable play to jump off a freestyle game and then come back looking for the other guy to be offline once you start going blow for blow. Obviously if everyone could play sequential but trick the site into giving them first move every time, that'd be cheating. This type of play is just using a loophole to achieve the same result. If I could get my hands on a script/bot/whatever, I'd use it in situations where the person takes more than a reasonable time to initiate the next round. The potential for abuse is obviously great, however, so I guess we can only wish.

Also, I'd seriously think you need some negs for playing like a little girl if you try to call a time out and then run home to base. If you've got any guts, honorable play is to post a chat of when +/- 10 minutes, you'll be back, or at least say you've got to go so the other guy isn't sitting there wasting 20 minutes of his life wonderring if you just went to take are really big BM or you actually had other things to do, but clearly I'm in the minority on this one http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49878&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&view=viewpoll
