So I go to log in quick like, but there's the Captcha.
I'm on my cell and late for work, don't really have time to figure out the stupid captcha, (its all messy looking craptcha) symbols and I need to refresh it, but I'M LATE FOR WORK! So I "Delay for 8 hours". ( So convenient, user friendly and how thoughtful of the game ) SO YOU THINK!! It's THE TRICK OF DEATH!

Now I'm at work, or back home, plenty of time to figure out the captcha, clean my glasses, refresh a couple of times, but I cannot initiate the captcha. I must wait for it to appear again on its own! >:-( . I need to take a shower or play spin the bottle. It's 7.75 hrs later I MUST PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE FOR THE NEXT HOUR!

I get hit, highlights go off, I am auto texted, my alliance mates are texting me, bells, whistles, horns! Dogs are barking, babies crying, thunder is crashing and my weenis hurts.

I go to log in... and there's the deadly C A P T C H A !!
By the time I type it in, its been an additional 8.275 seconds, I died 4 seconds ago.

Is there a way after delaying the captcha, to initiate it again so as to avoid this? If not, can one be made? Must we wait for the mandatory second captcha if at the most inopportune time?
I do not remember this being a factor back in the day.

Thank You,

I haven't had this problem before, but a few days ago I hit the delay 8 hrs button and it said I've already used this feature once today and then promted to do captcha again. Without letting me delay 8 hrs

Pro tip: If you get your bonus points (i.e you do the captchas for the bonus points), you will not see the login captcha for a day.

I don't think I've seen the login captcha for months because I get the daily bonuses.

Yes, what Xinhuan said.... do your bonus, then you won't get a captcha

I'm glad that Xin was able to help Xin!

It sounded like a problem that needed a Xin/Xin solution! :)

Oh dear, a pang pun!

question is why other xin (xintros) doesn't vote ee on bonuspoints sites.

i thought the captcha doesnt show when you are being hit

it shouldn't i thought.. though that might not apply to the 8h one, not sure...

well then... fix it? :P

BTW- This was just a scenario thought up by my sick paranoid brain. It never did happen to me, but I thought it could.

Thanks Xin, Good fighting along side of you this reset btw. (although highlights were all hell!! :-P)

we need a new missiles... the CAPTCHA missile! mwuahaha

TTT for another issue.
Whenever I change devices, ie: laptop to mobile and visa-versa, I MUST do a captcha. Its very difficult to descern a captcha on mobile. Just took me like 10 tries.
I am getting my bonus's like a good boy should.
Sup with this? It sucks . >:-(

LONG LIVE IX!

Xin it's a new anti babysitting feature they added last set making u captcha everytime you use a new device. Just login to your mobile before leaving home if u worried about walling

Hi prank, this thread is 7 months old, my posts 7 months ago no longer apply to now.

OH WAIT, you are replying to xintros, not me! :/






By the way, the correct solution is to logon to your new device to a country on a server you don't play on (make one) to get the captcha out of the way.

Hey buddy, I obviously do that, it's the damn captcha when I do it that sucks my Weenis. :-p I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO CAPTCHA ON MY MOBILE!!! *cries

Isn't the term "babysitting" used from back in the day mean playing someone else's country?

Sorry, i should call 'xintros' xinny.

Yes xinny. And people still do it!

I think Xinhuan is actually Xintros. Playing the smart the guy here, well done Xin.

I did NOT have relations with Monica Lewinsky.

TTT

Is it still accurate that if you do the bonus points you don't have to do the captcha?

Less than 24 hours ago, I got my bonus points, used them for turns... And got captcha'd.

@Medic Nope. Read this:

Basically, the best you can do now, is create a country on a server you don't play on, and log into that dud country to get the captcha out of the way.

Incidentally, I worked on this yesterday and today, and should complete it tomorrow; may require a day or two of testing, but that's where I'm at anyway.

Also if somebody would prevent my cats from getting on my desk and meowing in my face, that would help....

Close the door!

you should say who was running the script.
and who wrote the damned thing.

many earthers are capable to write walling script and I don't think that there are as clear evidences as there were in TC's and Hanlong's cases otherwise names would been told.

plural, qz? i have three, and there's no hope in keeping them off desks :(

Yea, two cats... and no door really, as I basically turned the entire living room into a home office of sorts heh...

(I live in a townhouse)

Xin vs. EEVIL Xin

Hi Xins.

Do you know there is another player called "xinwei" as well? :P

Netter Xin vs. Battle Xin.

and xingyuan too.

Are most of the Xins Chinese?

xintros doesn't sound chinese name.

No, he's from the US. Lol

Glad you fixed it. It was funky trying to play when my phone was in and out of wifi range at my house.

Ok, I just logged in today to a captcha. Then phone disconnected from my wifi and had to captcha again on my 3G. Then it reconnected to the wifi and I had to captcha again. fluff are you serious?

uhhh, is this the same phone that was working? you didn't just disable javascript or something did you? PM me your username i can take a peek?

I didn't mean it worked, I meant I was glad that it was going to be working. I'll try again(connecting to wifi and disconnecting) tonight when I log in from my phone at home.

GET A ROTTWEILER
CHAIN HIM TO YOUR DESK
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU'RE WELCOME!

THINK TWICE!

Last night no captcha. Maybe the connection was switching as I was answering the captcha??? I dunno. I'll let you know if I have a problem again.

5 captchas in a row from the same device changing from wifi to 3G. No good man.
JS is enabled.

Another log in another captcha. On my mobile.

This is getting stupid now. What was the reason for doing this again? To stop the odd rare instance of a babysit? Come on..

I'll be looking at the mobile code shortly, i hope

I'm still captcha'ing every log in. It sucks ballz.

err let me take a peek at your stuff, i looked at the mobile code earlier, it was fine

Fixed again, apparently if you logged in while already being logged in I didn't have it serve the scripts properly....
