Re: New to the Colony

[Nola]

It's a reachable goal for a new colonist. Every new colonist should do this. Every existing colonist who hasn;t done so already should do this. If you've already done it, post 3 more.

oh my god, sorry for the double post, but is...is this correct?!?!?

Rank Score Name
1 53048 TeamXbox
2 34906 PAL Gaming Network
3 27574 The Wucking Fankers
4 16384 The Brotherhood
5 13836 x-scene
6 6696 Areaxbox.de
7 6034 majeis
8 5895 ARGolonists
9 5572 {R&R}
10 5433 yay

That is un-freaking-believable. How could this possibly happen?!?!?!

The only way to win is to merge the teams. The leader of each team has to contact gamem8ker.

Corect me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you dont have to put in any actual work to get points, except for challenge answers. Is there a person out there assigning points, or is it all automagic?

It's possible they wrote a script to generate new accounts, join their team, upload random images, submit random challenges, that sort of thing.

[Calvinball06]

Yeah, I was just at the x-scene board and the general concensus there is that it was a program used to automatically register new members. For exapmle, team xbox gained 3000 points in a matter of a few minutes. Also, the PAL gaming network recieved all of their points from members, only ten of the points are bonuses. These teams will likely be kicked off in a matter of hours.

The gamem8ster has said specifically that the leaderboard and points are not important, and it could be argued that scripting the game is part of the "You are the Source" idea....

Anyway zemaj, the guy who did it for TeamXbox beleives there where deliberate loopholes in the system...but that's probably just his exuse

[Calvinball06]

Oh please, it doesn't take talent to create a scripting program, and I doubt that gamem8ker would intentionally make winning never before seen screenshots of the next XBox so easy.

[somsom]

you guys are missing the point, as stated before, winning is not the goal, being the top on the leaderboard is not the goal, UNITING THE COLONIES however is, as is pleasing "the owner" whoever that may be. talking to gamem8ker yields nada, he is merely a hired individual as he stated to me, all he does is provide cryptic responses, you will not glean info from him. we must all unite that is the goal, that will please the owner

[Darkstar]

Contact gamem8ker and tell him we want to 'unite two colonies'. He'll like that.

[somsom]

he doesnt care, we've already tried, the problem is that he wants us to do this on our own, whatever we tell him does not matter, its what we do and are able to accomplish. if we can truly unite two colonies, we would get massive points yes and much praise, but we alone must do that.

[somsom]

does anyone know if every colonist has to post like 3 pics before we get our next challenge, or will they just release a new one later today?

[meetingpeopleiseasy]

It's awesome that I STILL can't register. www.ourcolony.net/register.aspx

Correct?
