ALI213 Game crackers

[Abri]

So I was in a verbal encounterment with ALI213 and we were at the train, and I gained the upper hand quickly, and not even in the first sentence of us speaking he disconnected from the lobby, and I have screenshots aswell so feel free to gaze lol. It says he was ranked #1

EDIT: ALI213 is a japanese cracking team and should be dealt with by the developer, I believe in most scenarios the developer can file a complaint and take the crack down from the source.

What? I've played against him about 2 days ago, his score was 0/0 and he's managed to fail his first turn (the timer was out), on his second turn he got the "Learn a grammar" penalty, on his third turn he left the game. So that means:
1) he learns really fast (however, 2 days ago he looked like a complete newbie at grammar for me) or
2) he managed to abuse the game somehow: by disconnecting every time he almost lose a duel or by using fake accounts with the "Insult online" to forge his score (there's about ten ALI213 accounts in Steam, so it might be an option for him).

[Abri]

Huh, I wonder if I discovered something then, maybe.

[Sirius]

ALI213 is a cracking release group if I'm not mistaken.

So the players you have encountered are likely filthy pirates, obvious during those early disconnects and no idea how the game even works often and who are ballsy enough to use Steamworks.

Looks like there's a bug being exploited, I just played someone with the same name and they had a different number of wins/losses but was ranked #1

[Abri]

Oh, guess I actually came across something, and I didn't know already that this game was being pirated. Sheesh.

*DID RESEARCH EDIT*
Yeah ALI213 is a japanese game cracking team and there happens to be a japanese website for them http://www.ali213.net/ http://game.ali213.net/thread-6136373-1-1.html?_t_t_t=0.9406388630493858
Wouldn't recommend going there, but I just put it there for documentation. I think the developer can file a complaint to any cracker to take it down.

Sadly, "Oh...Sir" isn't the only game that has suffered from the "ALI213 syndrome".

"Windward":

"Interstellar Marines":

Maybe there's even more Steam games like that, these two are the only I could find.

Oh, one more thing:

In a 8v8 game, there are three ALI213 in the blue team and three ALI213 in the red team! *brain explosion*

I'm suprised by that fact they're from Japan. That name doesn't sound Japanese.

I've got about 10 screenshots where his score is 0/0 and ranked #1 while I had the rank of 1# at the time.
They rage quit matches, score is never the same, and I'm pretty sure it's not the same person, but many people with that name.
Because some quit within moments of the game, and others will ride it out.
Some even seem to have hacks of some sort.
Kinda why I have given up on this game, and released the #1 rank.
Because what is the point in playing when 90% of the time the other person just quits.
Or you play ALI123 for 9% of the time, and 1% you actually enjoy a match.

[Scott <TM>]

Ugh. I've encountered a ton of these starting this weekend. Something about the crack makes their account always appear as #1 ranked and since they didn't pay they aren't afraid to quit mid-game.

[Abri]

If you wanna know how they're all #1 in ranking, it's because in the "progress.json" file you can edit your rank, characters, and etc, however, it's encoded and I won't tell how to decode it. (I haven't edited anything in my progress.json, I just know this by snooping around)

I have a bad feeling that there's even more of these ALI213s after the last weekend, because almost all of my last duels were against them, and it really gets me angry.

I just played against this ALI213 and won. He's so bad at this , he's unable to form an isnult without damageing himself at least four times by failing at grammar. I have some nice screenshots to proof it . At least he did not dc. his profile shows 5 dc though.

Yeah! Teach them a lesson.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

A new update is coming and it will help for a while (as you know it is a never ending battle). Please note, though, that even modyfing file is not affecting Steam leaderboards and they are correct from what we see.

Sincerely,
VM

Will you blacklist the name ALI213? That would be helpful.
