The Monk- Exploiter

So a character onlined named "The Monk" acting and associated with DT, (A smurf no doubt) played a game vs higgy and I. 

It went on and on, lost a few players, eventually it was higgy and I vs. Daknife and him.  We were consistently whipping their combined fleets ass (beautiful moment where I held back almost all his overseers and subverters with repulse while higgy raped the rest of his fleet) When the guy just warps to higgy's homeworld with NO phase node to speak of.  No marauder lvl 6, no starbase, nothing even close.  So I figured i'd publicly inform the general community about this bug and this player.

Also another one, after his fleet had magically warped to higgys homeworld (higgy was at the time attacking this guy on another front) he passed through a neutral filled grav well, except that he didn't.

His fleet showed in the empire screen to the left, but it DID NOT display in the main screen or INTERACT with my fleet whatsoever.  Just a lucky glance and I saw what he was up to.  He was moving his fleet invisibly.

The monk felt that since we weren't leaving when he wanted us too(a small child comes to mind), that we were being terrible, dishonorable people.  Instead, higgy and I were waiting to be defeated in combat.  I consider this a reasonable request, as up to that point we weren't sure if the monk could actually beat us in a fair fight with his daknife sidekick.  The monk only faced us directly once and then ran at every other encounter expecting us to eventually give up, hoping to win on a technicality.  He could have been smart and fed daknife so that their combined fleets would outnumber ours, but he was stingy with the cash, dragging the game on and on.

It was sweet victory when he gave up.  Lol.

You need to forgive him, he is polish and his family comes from Namibia.  These kind of circumstances would make dick out of anyone.

Interesting... Now tell me, did he hit higgy's homeworld with Kortusha cannon?  Because those open a node phase stabilizer as well and can be used to attack in a manner you describe.

As for the phantom fleet movement, I suppose if he climbed Z axis (commonly used to bypass minefields) you might have missed it on the main screen, but it would be clearly visible on the empire tree.

Without a replay it didn't happen.

If he really is polish, it is probably quar.  I do believe he is DT at any rate.  Was in a game with him a week ago and How and tyr pretended like they didnt know who he was and tried to talk the other team into not picking him but then picked him the next chance they got.  Then a day later he was how's first pick.  Kinda funny how all that works. 

If there really is an exploit though, a replay would be nice to see what was done so it could be possibly fixed.

I don't know if its related, but I have occasionally noticed some very odd phase jumping in single player recently. For example I'll jump a fleet in and two heavy cruisers will look like they are phase jumping again and "micro jump" to the other side of the phase lane (in other words its as if I had my fleet jump from the other side of my departing gravity well). Oddly enough this seems to count as an actual phase jump as they took damage from the starbase in the gravity well I just entered.

I've also occasionally seen scouts enter a gravity well and then without moving immediately start phase jumping to the next planet. I haven't been able to reproduce these but if they found a way to that could be it.

Since those 2 womens with overgrowed tounges , How and Siddy ,  goship to everyone its me so no point denying.

Sareth what the fuck did u smoke? ill start from the back.

1. i never gave up i left my pc and went to sleap  (my connection reseted 6 am your luck)

2. U left before game ended

3. i asked u to leave cause excluding ais our and yours, whith were completly closed up and busy themselvs u had like 5 planets together, while me and knife had half of the map

4. at the moment i went sleep, u were completly gone and Higgy had 2 planets   and 0 income, while i had 100/s and pacts (bouth me and higgy had maxed fleets similar composition)

5. U had 0 chances to beat me, but i didnt want to give u satisfaction to win engagement 2v1 with 1,5x fleet more then i had. When Higgy left alone, he started to run from me.

6. U lost it, i didnt have to rish anything so knife went to get more planets while u were guarding me and doing nothing but loosing planets.

7. I used famous DT hax. Only DT are allowed to use it. We can jump whenever we like and wherever we like. Get use to it. Also when i fart, my SB emites emp pulse kiling everythin on gravity whell.  Luckyli for U no farts were going out that noight.

Higgy tends to hold game unneceserly, but that night he was real ass. It was 4v2 when we asked him first to quit. 4v2 and we owned 2/3 of the map, He refused, and 2 of my teammates left cause he was holding lost game.

Why would we want to ban you? You iz pretty lulzy in my opinion  |-)

But seriously, any exploit should be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. Players should be disciplined for using it and/or mocked for being so weak as too need to break the rules to win a game so they can brag about how great they are when in fact they are just insecure jerks who need to cheat in order to beat genuine players.

ooo ahhhh!

got me good, i think my heart is bleeding and i'm about to die, that is if I was this Saterh guy.

He must be really bad, because I remember that i had pretty much bent over new player and raped him when Daknife came across the map to help defend against my unfed onslaught.  Then the monk had just enough time to capture my desert planet with his fleet and my backup was maniac gonzo, who had like no fleet and didn't even build starbases as vasari. lolz.  Both higgy and I pleaded for him to build some, but in the end it was no go.

I actually had a planet at the end, it was an asteroid where i was countering your fleet and had built up over 100 disciples. 

But its okay, you are angry and Polish from the sounds of the other posts.

I eat polish sausage for breakfast wrapped up in a belgian waffle and I finish the whole entree with some german beer.

I pwned you by the time i finished breakfast.

To be clear.  None of this has anything to do with me (the real Monk).

Oh it has everything to do with you. We just don't know it yet.
