What service are you using to send out text messages?

None, since that seems to be a part of your program that would be against the rules since that gives an advantage while you're not at your keyboard.

You can find my old threads for this exact utility posted as long as 4 years ago, have never heard anything to that effect.

You really need to try reading the actual rules before you lecture others on them. There is nothing whatsoever in the rules against reading log files while AFK. On the contrary, they're explicitly permitted in the rules:

In addition, any program that strictly reads log files is acceptable.

Reading the log files sure, notifying you about what is going on in game while not at your computer via text messages? Sounds pretty borderline to me.

is "borderline"? Unless you think they literally meant that all a program is allowed to do is read the and not actually do anything in response ... but that would make absolutely no sense because a program that can just read logs and not doing anything else would have no point.

There's no "borderline" about it: the staff has made it very clear, both in the rules themselves (unless you choose to willfully disbelieve them because you disagree) and in forum posts throughout the years. Any program can do anything ... ANYTHING it wants when it reads the log ... except mess with the game itself.

The moment any program, log reader or not, tries to impact the game you're a cheater. But until then any program can read the logs and do anything else it wants in response.

My Dearest Loramin®,

*Strictly* speaking, doing one thing and another thing is altogether different from doing strictly that one thing.



Ergo, YOUR *WRONG* mon amis.
