Yeah- we launched some nukes back and they got destroyed the next tick. Plus a lot of their nations are just named [Name] 1-500.
So, it's pretty obvious there's some botting going on.

You're saying that a global radiation catastrophe of nukes, commies and reprogrammed card farming bots is fair?

Very fair.

Yeah- we launched some nukes back and they got destroyed the next tick. Plus a lot of their nations are just named [Name] 1-1000.

Yeah, like people don't number their puppets because they have hundreds and need to keep track of them.

IDK how an N-Day bot would work. Definitely puppets.

I think bots are prevented from joining factions because a Captcha has to be taken first before a nation can join. So yeah, pretty much just people logging into a bunch of puppets lol.

I never got asked a ReCaptcha.

And they all have the default flag, suspiciously

The same way their Card farming bots would work... It just interacts with the elements on the web-page? You can code a simple like 100 line bot in maybe an hour to do that. It also doesn't help, that there's no ReCaptcha, and you don't even need to assign an email-address to an account. I could make 1000 accounts in the next hour, without rate-limitation, or verification, and then add them to my faction to prolong its existence.

atleast z-day should be more difficult to ruin this way

They probably are bots, we got nuked by the same alts twice in less than 2 hours, and it was a whole bunch of them too unless someone is just sweating to death right now, they are definitely bots

? Because some don't care to decorate their puppets and want to make them as fast as possible ?

Z-Day, luckily, can't really be ruined because even if a bot wipes you out with zombies, you can still play as a zombie nation.
With N-Day, a bot can just knock you out of the event within the first hour or two.

Really looking forward to seeing the stats for this year, honestly.

ofc you are, because you aren't being nuked to death and the enjoyment of something you waited for a year killed

My faction got leveled by puppets and bots. Either someones written an auto-nuking bot or they just have quick hands.

Yeah for you, everyone else ain’t. But what am I saying the average bot spammer has a ego the size of the sun.

I'm not going to talk about what I think is fair or not, but I can safely say that this is the most boring event i've ever seen in any game i've ever played.

But hey, what do I know? I guess a lot of people just like seal clubbing and not taking any risks whatsoever.

We could try uniting the smaller factions into one larger faction and then trying to beat them with whatever alts we have left (Exaclty what i am trying to do with IOC's allied regions but on a larger scale)

They are definitely bots. They are responding with multiple accounts with a less than 1 minute response time, so unless they're sitting at their keyboard coordinating over 1,000 accounts at once, then I see no way they couldn't be bots.

At that point, you're beyond a single person running puppet nations. You're either using bots, or you've hired out an entire firm in India to run your puppet nations.

Honestly this is why I didn't join. Not worth it.

Truer words haven't been spoken

Honestly the super factions just sucked the fun out of the event for me, I was pumped for N-day since it was my first one, but it ended up as people using bots to nuke all the smaller factions to oblivion and parading themselves as good.
