Nothing the same, not even close.

Just a group to find new hacks and report them to admins.

and apparently test them too

The only real harm I see being done here is having yet another layer/usergroup that admins are supposed to communicate to. Why give yourself so much work? Wasn't it hard enough already to keep track of the arbs, moderators, sentinels, map crew and what you call vote crew? edit I forgot LUA team.

Somewhat off topic rant incoming, do not bother quoting - I'm probably entirely wrong as I don't have any real experience with fighting cheaters other than through enforcing rules, but, if you really want the cheats to die out, leave them alone for a while. Give them, say, a month, in which their stuff just works. It's no longer a race against Tig (their only somewhat of a challenge really), everything works, so I would assume they get bored. Then and only when all activity regarding releasing new cheats has died out, release an anti-cheating patch. Do not bother quoting this by the way as it's entirely off topic and I will not respond to my thoughts.

Mom: "So did you download anything to give your computer viruses?"
12 year old windows computer owner: "I was fighting hackers for tig!"

Okay maybe this is mean but possible.

Is it just me, or is it a bad sign that contact with the admins is something the admins consider a prize?

They just feel kind of estranged from the community, if they say things like that. It's like they don't talk to the community anymore...

And I know they don't have time to talk to everyone, but still... the way they put it now is as if they're ignoring the entire community, and so we should consider it a great honour if they actually realise that we exist... Though the community is what's keeping the game alive, and the community is paying for the fraises that allow them to earn money.


^ Yes, that was the thing that annoyed me most about the announcement. I'm glad they're using the community's help for hacking but this just made me feel as if they're so estranged from the game and from the people who play it... :S

Quoting for truth, a hundred times this.

It would be harm, if they bothered to communicate to any decent standard to begin with :/ but I do agree this will worsen the already dire situation.

People could already do this. Not really necessary. Acting as a network is interesting though. Infiltrating hacking communities and staying up to date, relaying information.

imagine all the TRs wanting to be le epic anti hack guys and then actually just sharing hacks to their friends

Pretty much agree with all opinions of silliness regarding this. There is a dedicated thread to reporting this kind of stuff to the admins already, yet players still ran amok with their cheats. Glhf, but I'm sure the responses from the admins will just sputter out after a few weeks.

a <b>and privileged contact with the administration team</b>

The fact that we can talk to admins makes me happy as hell.

wow! best reward ever.

Step 1: Find hacks on web
Step 2: Test hacks if working or not (To ensure its newest/latest hacks)
Step 2.5: Caught by mod (Mod please unban me, I was just seeing if a hack was legitimate before I reported it to the hack thread.)
Step 3: Report to Secret Sub Forum
Step 3.5: All Reported hacks leaked to players (Yay! Time/Effort saved on finding working hacks)
Step 4: Spam /report
Step 5: Repeat and start at Step 1 again.

i think the idea is interesting and i'd like to see how it goes

also about the 18+ thing i think it's because these guys don't have any power whatsoever like beta testers previously

What if everything is test to see how we react.
e: o look

Like soak said, I think it's to the point that they don't have any power to do anything.

I do, I think it's pretty cool too.

A spy network isn't useful if:
a) It's public and therefore everyone knows and everyone/no-one is a spy.
b) Transformice continues falling apart and there's nothing to spy for.

Well, RIP Transformice.
