Hello all. As we all know , it has become difficult to impossible to play a fun and/or honest game of Diablo on Battle.net that is open to anyone. Chances are a Tkiller , or Pkiller , DropKiller , InstantKiller, monsterkiller or lord only knows what is next , will drop by and disrupt the game. While we all wait to see if some patch from Blizzard will curtail this problem, here is an idea on how to still have some fun on Battle.net. The point is that these cheaters / hackers etc can be made to be their own worst enemy. Stay with me on this for a second.... Common Scenario .... You are in Diablo Retail xx and in the middle of a conversation Lord_eatme drops by to tell everybody that they suck and he/she will kill you all. Here is what to do .... Immediately go to 'join' to check out the current game list. Look for one that is an obvious Tkiller , you know the ones I mean ... Game : USUCK Creator :BiteMeNow lvl50 Now, go back to the room and tell Lord_eatme "Oh yeah , try and kill ME man. (try not to interject any intelligence into your comments or you may lose them). When you get the patented response of "Well then fight me dude , you will be toast" .... ..... agree to the encounter and direct them to the USUCK room you have already checked out. Exit the room for a second and create your own game with a password so that if he/she does a /whois you will come up as being in a game. With luck Lord_eatme will dive into the Tkiller's game an materialize to a barrage of fireballs. Chances are that they will be too dumb to see who actually created the game. At this point Lord_eatme will have a new vendetta to avenge and the Tkillers can go happily about the business of frying each other. You can return to the chat room and it should now be free of this waste of good ASCII characters. Don't be too hard on these guys. Remember that 99% of them are adolescent boys who think that all women have a staple in their navel and consider "Fuck You All" to be a greeting. I would love to hear about other potential scenarios to taunt , hinder and generally annoy cheaters , pk, tk and the like. The key being mind over bluster. You see intelligence is the achilles's heel. The more time they waste killing each other , the more innocent people that will be left alone. I don't consider hacking my own characters 'for defense' to be a viable option. Besides, that is futile since there will always be someone with a better hack. Who said Battle.net isn't fun anymore. By the way, I have met many nice, honest people on Battle.net who were interesting and fun to play with. With a little care , passworded games etc , you can still play and have fun ... later ... -jls

Wat i do (and unfortunately this requires u to cheat yourself) when pkilled or tkilled is quickly save an image of the offending players character, restore his char onto a dummy char that i create, then go and give his godly this and obsid that to the first newbies i find. When i get back to chat i make sure to /msg the killer and let him know the joy that he has just spread in the world. By the way, make sure u tell the recepients of your largesse not to trust the character who's giving them the stuff.

Just a quick note of clarificatrion. While you are certainly free to do what you like with your game. I personally do not give high level items to newbies. I feel tha it ruins the game for them. I have several mess-around characters thst I use to play with and annoy the killer types. BUT , I have a character that I actually play the game with that is 100% legal and I am a strong proponent of legal play. This character will not even trade or accept items from players. A fact I have been tkilled for. The only items I will accept are those found on the current quest with the players in the game. The character has also never been backed up nor will it be. While I will mess about with people who are killing and ruining the game for others, I would never let my actions do the same if I can help it.

go play on Mplayer. Cheating is harder since the diablo mplayer enable writes itself to diablo.exe and it requires a clean diablo.exe. Microsuck must pay the auther $1,000,000,000.00 in us currency For any reproduction of author's post(s). Copyright (c) AD 1997
