There is a war on Colony. Krin and players like me versus the cheaters. Colony is getting out of control these days. I remember when the game came out it was so big that the first server was packed all the time, so I stuck to the campaign. I used to play every mission so much that I wanted to see which missions the player's partner could win without you, and how long it could take the player's partner to lose. Then Beatrix came out then I started my online account. I became one of the pros in a week. When I was rank 3, I beat Theos, a rank 5 who was considered the best by a group of pros, in a one on one. This is when I realized that on one on one games would be won by the player who uses the best strategy using the Forge and Outpost. A few weeks after, a player called darkerchon found me, and beat me many times with the same strategy. After the first two games, I just played him just so I could learn his strategy. This player was the best, but he left quickly, after I somehow perfected his strategy. This led me to further my win ratio to a higher number. It was fun because I never saw a hacker, until the release of version 1.14. At that time, there were only a few who knew how to hack, so I really did not mind. The life on Colony was not really affected by this, until a hacker posted a forum on cheatengine.com. It had all the scan codes and stuff, so then Colony's hacker population went up. Then Krin released version 1.15, I think. This update came with the two new ranks 6 and 7. By this time, I played so many one on one games with others, that I reached rank 7 in two games after this addition was added. Then in another update Krin took away the one on one feature, which made me upset because I liked playing the best players for wins, but I continued in my path to form the best one on one strategy. Soon after, I noticed more hackers on Colony, so I made a topic called Colony: "List of Hackers" by SOMASTER. It had a list of all the hackers I personally saw using hacks, and suspects that other players reported to me. Later on, Krin released version 2.0, which came with three new units, one new building upgrade, fixed typos, a new resource increaser, and change cost for some units. Then Krin released version 2.1, which came with the ranks 8, 9, and 10. It took me awhile to reach rank 10 because of all the one on one games I played that did not count. It was fun trying to see how to make these units part of my strategy. Then Krin released version 2.2, which finally had the power to stop hackers for good, using the smartfox system. Well, it was working for a week until a veteran hacker, posted a topic on a website that had a hacked version of 2.1, which comes with the hacks. This is why the smartfox system does not work anymore. Well before the hackers started using this website, they planned an attack on Colony. It involved compromising my SOYMASTER account because I was the one who made the topic on armorgames.com called Colony: "List of Hackers" by SOYMASTER. The plan was to hack my account, and spam all over the community of armorgames.com, so that account of my would be banned for a while. Well when this was happening, Colony was being overrun be the players who were using the hacked Colony website. This made people tell Krin that there was hack to override the smartfox system, but it was a hack it was a copy of an older version, so this led Krin to make fast updates to colony in a 24-hour time period. Now this is where we are now in the life on Colony, version 2.5. Now I got information that a player who used to go by Coltongrundy, he has a new account now, is tell all the new players on Colony about the hacked Colony website, which adds more hackers to the game, and this is why so many new accounts are appearing that are rank 10. The war has turned in favor to the cheaters, but Krin and the players that never cheated are still trying as hard as they can to stop this madness, and get Colony back under control. Right now Colony is holding on by a strand of hair trying not to die. I hope Krin wins this waronce and for good.
Wow that happened to me when i played my first imposter Y0S, it was like he was new to the hacking thing. He made a outpost and just spammed tanks 5 per second. All I did was make a special operations building and shot a missle nd they all died before they reached my base. Then I made a forge to get some scouts to kill the rest of the incoming tanks. It was a game that I wish was recorded. It was intense.
You make this game sound like it is 5 years old...
Seriously...it is a flash game, albeit a very good one, but a flash game nonetheless.
I never saw this group of pros you speak of, never heard of theos, he must of played for about a week.
I guess if I had to pick a memory, it would be my very first day on it, when it had less than 1000 plays. I got on and got to talk to Krin a little, I didn't bash him about Sinjid 2 and Sonny 3 like ever other idiot did...I did ask him to add lobby music though xD

My response is, the group of pros I was talking about consisted of the following players: Imrank1, Demiking, Indy111, CYBERBEAST, Theos, sprinter101, ronofwolf (I think that was his name), headshot, Oriandon (I think that was his name), scott, Demarius (i think he was in this group), kinster1150, Icyblade (I know his name was icy somthing), vh2, Jaxthekiraholn (I think that was his name), and YOS (that is me). We talked in the Beatrix veteran's hall. This was before Indy111 went insane. The player in this group played in August, but disbanded in the middle of September.
[quote=ColonyIndex]Oh, and I just want to point out that I didn't mean to sound mean, I just feel this topic would be better made in about another year...[/quote] My response is, Well I want to make this before and if the hackers killed Colony for good, so that is why I made this topic.
[quote=firetail_madness]What exactly make them all pros and the others isn't? My response is, I said the group of pros I was talking about. There were other pro like you at the time. I remember you beat me back in August. People please just try to read and soak in what is posted.
Getting rank 5, getting 100 games played, getting 200 games played, getting 300 games played, getting 400 games played, spontaneoulsy hopping 5-6-7 in 2 games...

I am going to be updateinng my memories I have please try to give long post like lalala12 at least. Thais topic is about posting the memories you have so far about a game.
I remember having a group of 4 and we all pwned, it was CYBERBEAST, desiloader, iamrank1, and myself, and then i remember indy111 was really weird, theos was very good at the game, i remember darkarchon, he was really good.
