Strange new server that doesnt work?
Strange new server that doesnt work?
I noticed a strange server on the list. On armagetron it appears as 666/666:
However, the browser at hashpickup shows it as 255/255:
Can anyone share what this is about, and why its on the list?

I saw that too. If you go to the associated website, they are trying to sell you an "Illuminati Membership" Certificate for $16.99. Looks to me that they were just trying to sell more memberships via a tron server.

I checked the IP of the server. 104.4.114.54. Matches swag.
Re: Strange new server that doesnt work?
Random marketing people would have to be stupid to find an open source game with such a small community and host a modified server allowing nobody in. Sounds like an obvious troll to me?
Also, Z-Man did this before as part of the ramp server for April Fools.

Re: Strange new server that doesnt work?
Well, it could be trolling I suppose. But it has been my experience to never underestimate the stupidity of marketers. I have seen much stupider ideas with poorer execution.Light wrote:Random marketing people would have to be stupid to find an open source game with such a small community and host a modified server allowing nobody in.

The specific IP has been banned from my master servers.
Oh? Sounds plausible. I'll double check that. If true, I'll work out his subnet and do stuff. Not the first time he ran unwanted servers.aP|Nelg wrote:Matches swag.

That IP corresponds to other gem servers such as...Also, a few different random names in IRC.
Code: Select all

That matches Castro@forums, which is Zulu, ain't it? I have a hard time keeping so many different names in order since I don't talk to most of them. lolTank Program wrote:That IP corresponds to other gem servers such as...Also, a few different random names in IRC.Code: Select all

Re: Strange new server that doesnt work?
Can't confirm it's Swag. His previous known actions with (we think) unmasked IPs are from different ISPs. So no range bans yet. Good thing you can't host servers through any of the popular anonymization services.
Re: Strange new server that doesnt work?
It is not marketing. I don't think on earth someone would have bought that strategy, if so, then give them my numberLight wrote:Random marketing people would have to be stupid to find an open source game with such a small community and host a modified server allowing nobody in.

Re: Strange new server that doesnt work?
Who cares?
This isn't all that different from a server with 1/1. No one could join it anyway (yea I tried).
Seems like a bug exploit (custom compiled server); how big of a problem is this anyway?
