Quick question,
How do you know if you're being reviewed?

[drakeducaine]

What does this thing do, exactly?

[Strategist]

Here's a decent guide on what it is/does and how to use it. Remember, the search function (up on the top right of the forum) is your friend

[kzhang]

So.. I sent a score that is impossible (the scores went by 10) and I'm not sure what to do about it now... Especially since I don't know if I'm getting reviewed or not.

Sorry man... if what you are telling me is correct... that you sent a score that is impossible due to mod... then yes... you will be banned. Sorry. May take a few days or a week... but they will catch it.

Next time try running on a shell and use proxy to clean up your list. Update the list every month. Never run the same list twice. Randomize... frequent stops and starts. Do not browse other stuff on neopets while running the program. Do not send money to your main until you sit on it for a few months.

I could never use anything like this. I used cheatengine a while back and sent in legit scores, just enough to get the 1000 points and a few times just to squeak into the top 100 list. I got banned within 2-3 days of doing so. Too much risk, too little reward.

I did run it on a shell and I used a proxy, but I sent the money to another shell a little while later (less than a day). What's the chance that they'll chain freeze?

Did you send ridiculous times? (Like getting enough for 1000 on destruct-o-match in 10 seconds)

[OvertAnglerfish]

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but if you don't feel like playing through the games legitimately to figure out reasonable times, you can look up videos of people playing the games on youtube to see how long it takes to get a certain score.

I'm very new at this. If I connect to an account through a VPN, they won't trace it back to my main account, am I right? I don't want to lose my accounts. I only ever used proxies before(and not for Neopets). What I want to do is for about 2 hours every other day or so, run the SS with a fairly small list of games on a shell account while using a VPN, then just collect NP that way, no buying or anything for a while, just sitting on the NP. Does this sound realistic? How long would it be until I got frozen do you think?

I've been running this on my main account for about a week now and I highly doubt they suspect anything. As long as you're careful about your wait times, I think you'll be fine.
The problem for you might be transferring those neopoints to your main account. Other than that you sound fine, even a little overly cautious, in my opinion.

I'm not too big on using the NP on my main account. I don't have much that I want. All I'm looking to do is gain a few mill NP fast, then sit on it for a while and buy a Draik egg or MP so I can trade for my dreamie, and by that time I'll have enough stuff established that it'll look like a legit trade/adopt out thing to get that pet to my main.

the logged out as some point, score not sent thing, i am noticing, actually takes up one of the 3 plays for the day of that game, despite no score being sent. isn't this a problem? if they see 3 scores sent but no actual score for one or more of them. say 2 scores go through fine, the other gets a logged out error. when i log in to the site, it will show as 3/3 played.

We don't have a solution to this yet, they may be working on one, but we currently don't have one.

It may be taking up plays because it may have tried to send the score (so it did play and try to send) but it just had this error. So, by playing and basically trying to send the score, counted as a play. (For one reason or another)
You can send a score of "o" (so a no score) but it will say the score can't be posted (not sure if that actually takes a play though).

So score sender sent two scores that are going to be reviewed... chances of getting banned?

I used it on my side account that I mainly use at school with a different IP.
I use Abrosia at home and I sometimes send items at school to my main. What are my chances of getting chain frozen?

[Bertrude]

Works fine... Just really wish it did not freeze up on me, and stop sending scores half way through my list being finished.

Transfer your stuff... You will be banned by morning.

[Chowder]

Can you get ban if you do it to much 

[KaibaSama]

You mean your have neo account frozen? Yes, you can be frozen for using the score sender.

used it for 1 game and got banned after the first score not  reccomened this needs to be updated with default setting of some sort to help people out

[jebova2301]

What kind of scores were you sending and what times? The thread itself almost works as a pretty good how-to guide.

Thank you for not being an idiot.

No amount of default settings will make a program idiot proof...

Did you try playing the games first to get a sense of logical times and scores?  You'll get iced pretty fast if you SS with really short times or impossible scores (ie. some game scores only end in 0 or 5, so if you sent in any other number not ending with 0 or 5, you're basically telling TNT you're SSing).  As a lot of posters have said, use SS with common sense and caution.

[Jigglypuff]

Interesting thing happened to me... I used score sender a couple of times before, just to make a few nps to test it out. I decided to try go for a trophy with it. I played X game a couple of times already, and was getting closer, so I manually entered a few scores to send, to make it look like I was gradually improving. On the wait time, I put 12, forgetting it was seconds not minutes, so I sent a score that was almost high score board in 12 seconds and it got reviewed, but I tried to cover it up by playing heaps of games (on score sender with decent times) and the score was accepted lol.... Not sure how they process it but if a human looked at my score and saw 12 seconds they'd definitely freeze me...

[GATX]

Nice program. Works fine for the most part, though I am running into frequent "logged out" issues and other errors. Additional statuses for remaining time until list completes and current neopoints on the account would be very convenient. I understand there is already a progress bar to get an idea of when the list completes, however it would be more efficient if it shows an estimated time. Also, an alarm to alert when the list finishes would come in handy as well.

[andyandy999999999]

Lord, I f'ed up. There's a game that not many people succeed in playing, and I got a decent highscore out of nowhere with the SS. I got a neomail from some guy who I can only assume is a secret TNT account, wondering why it was working for me. I'm pretty sure the account is going to get frozen, but as long as I talk to the guy, I think I'll be safe. Hopefully, anyways. 

 

So, is it a lost cause? Or is there a chance of coming back from this?
