I feel pretty damn stupid right now lol, I only just tried to start cheating like a week ago and I got frozen this morning! Less than an hour after finally painting one of my ~dream pets~ (never liked that phrase but it's accurate) that I've wanted since I was a kid and had been working legit-ly towards for months, too
So here's the basic idea of what happened. I downloaded the codex program manager about a week or two ago and decided to give it a try. I was mostly just using some of the smaller programs like the kacheek seek autoplayer and the account pricer for convenience's sake. I also used the attic ABer once but then stopped because it wasn't working very well and uh, I kind of enjoy legit restocking anyways haha.
So then I decide to try score senders, I was thinking "I will be on the safe side while I try to test this out!" so I only ran the score sender like three times total on different days. The first time I sent some realistic 1k scores in games that I usually play anyways. Next day, I did basically the same except I included a (bronze) trophy score on a game I like. And on the last day I did a few more 1k scores, including on the daily featured game (not one I normally play, but I played it once legit and then gave it two scores around 800/900np worth with an extra-long delay based of that time so it would look like I was getting the hang of the game). In total I probably only sent about 20 scores. Two of them were reviewed and accepted, one of which was the trophy score. I also happened to get a completely legit score reviewed and accepted during this period of time.
Fast forward a little bit. Yesterday I decided to start posting in the forums here and I spent quite some time reading through a lot of the guides. I realized I wasn't doing the score-sending very well and that I should stay away from review scores if at all possible. And I was thinking to myself "Alright, I did a little messing around on the main with my regular IP but from now on I should make a shell account and use proxies and so on to be safe"... and then BAM, frozen for "cheating on the flash games" this morning.
Trying to figure out what went wrong, I think I might have screwed up the delay times on the score sending? I would put them in like:
0s, realistic 1k score
120s, similar score
and so on.
I was thinking I did not need to put a delay on the first score because there would have hypothetically been time for me to achieve the score before I started the program. But did I do this wrong? Can TNT actually measure how long the flash game is open and see that I got that score in 0 seconds?
Oh and also I made a whole lot of my times be these fairly regular multiples of ten or five before I realized "wait, that's not very realistic". That was kind of stupid, no idea what I was thinking there.
So that's what happened, now here are my questions...
- If I send tickets to TNT with all the information I can muster and cry "no I didn't cheat I promise plz help," will I look fairly credible? Or is it extremely obvious that I cheated, and I should just not bother? If there's NO chance of getting the account back, I don't want to go to all the effort of making a ticket.
- Only my main account was frozen, not the side accounts which are registered to the same email address. Would TNT frown on me making one of those a new main, or transferring pets from it to a new main, when the old main has been frozen?
Sorry about the long post.
I gotta say I've well learned my lesson and will be MUCH, MUCH more cautious about cheating in the future
