Okay, if we're going to alert the Gaian Community about the Scripters and Hackers (sounds like the Sharks and the Jets or something...) we should organize the information we have on them.

Hacks/Tricks They Use
*Vortex - Scriptors suck you into the middle of the town. You really can't get out of it unless everyone in the are stops moving for 30 seconds, but depending on the power of the vortex it may not work.

*Statues they make and place on the fountains

*Avatar clones

*Random avatars that sometimes park in the towns.

*In Rally, they can send random challenges that say things and contain pictures, some of which are incredibly graphic and disgusting.

Ways to Stop/Foil the Hacking
1.) STAY OUT OF TOWNS!

Things to Look out for
Anyone resembling cake-kun
Gaians in towns with their names changed to an odd color out of the normal white

Random Useful Info
Nothing down yet

If you know of anything that would go under these headings (or anything else at all), post it and I'll update it. If we can get a good bit of information together, we can better inform the Gaian Community and figure out how to slow/stop the hacking!

Well, for the tricks part, there's the ever-popular 'vortex' gag, where the scriptors suck you into the middle of the town. You really can't get out of it unless you stop moving, but you always end up back in the vortex eventually.

There's also the statues they make and place on the fountains, the clones they make of avatars, and the random avatars that sometimes park in the towns and are just annoying.

In Rally, they can send random challenges that say things and contain pictures, some of which are incredibly graphic and disgusting.

That's all I know. Hope it helps. ^^

Okay, great. Thanks!

Hmm, I know there're some pictures of the clone thing and maybe the vortex floating around. I'm going to try to find them and put them here as well.

You're welcome. ^^ And yeah, screenshots would be great!

I took a few screenies of the vortex, but they're no good because you can't really tell what's going on. sweatdrop

Hmm, I'm almost tempted to go on an expedition myself to find it.

On the other hand though, I'd hate to get hacked or get viruses...

well for starters u cant get hacked by them kicking you out with the videos such as the wokka wokka video or the cake-kun one and the vortex thing does work if everyone stands still for 30 secs as in noone in the whole place moves or u hv to restart but thats a glitch... not hackers and there are some warning signs of the whole hacker havic thing in towns... if u c anyone who resembles cake--kun run! usually they are using scripts to change there person into him or if there name appears in yellow or some odd color it usually means they are scripters/hackors. umm i wld love to gv u the names of the hackers/scripters that i know cause probs frequently but i cant bcz of name dropping

It's difficult anyway to find out who really is doing the scripting. They can change their names and appearances so often, that even their signed work is difficult to credit to one specific user. Some also copy off of more experienced/well-known scriptors, so that's another hurdle to get over.

and if you search a known scriptors name like cake-kun, you will see a few different ones, so there are people that want you to think their cake-kun, you might want to avoid them as well...

Okay, good to know I'm not crazy(er). And thank you!

And don't worry about it, everyone's in school/work now, so we're all on the same level. Good luck with your GPA though. I'm in school as well and even though we've had no tests and few homeworks, I keep getting this crazy feeling that I'm failing all of my classes. eek
