Current status
The Death of Rats is still in an experimental stage at this time, and no actual action is taken. What
it would do if it were fully enabled is logged on the "Actions taken" page nonetheless.
Most of the information it provides can be trusted, tho; however, if you suspect it sent a warning or "punished" a
player for no good reason, manual checks should be performed.
The following checks are performed:
- use of open proxies
- cookie deletion
- trying to log on with a banned account
- passwords shared between multiple accounts
- simple multiing, as well as pass sharing
- "vicious" multiing, implying that the cookies are cleared between each use
- in-game checks for donations, tech exchanges, gifts and sales, and planet retake after abandon
Checks for concurrent session from the same IP as well as more in-game checks (alliance, posts, messages,
TA list, battles) are still missing.
About the different pages
This tool consists in a few different pages which give different information about the Death of Rats' current status.
These pages are:
-
Actions taken: the log of all actions the Death of Rats performed. This includes sending
warnings and deciding to punish players.
-
Decision points: the current amount of points for each pair of players that has been investigated thoroughly
by the Death of Rats. Pairs with over 100 points will cause the Death of Rats to act.
-
In-game checks log: the latest 400 entries of the checks performed in-game on suspicious players as well
as the results of these checks.
-
Multiplayer points: the current amount of points for each pair of accounts that could be multiing or
abusing pass-sharing.
-
Multiplayer log: the latest 200 entries of the suspicious events detected between pairs of accounts.
-
Single player points: the current amount of points for each account that has performed suspicious actions.
While these points are normally not a problem, they influence multiplayer scores.
-
Single player log: the latest 200 suspicious events detected for single accounts.
-
Execution log: the latest 200 runs of the Death of Rats.
