Hello.
Does it mean that, when I'm watching porn during a camp, P99 staff can see the same vids? If yes, I'd like to know if they share my taste.

Male African?

if you've ever done any programming in windows and messed with the winAPI you'd know how easy it is to read window titles from any application

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...getwindowtexta

and if you want to call that spyware, i sure hope you don't run OBS, because it also enumerates your open windows and grabs the titles (so you can use it to automatically capture a window based on title)

overall it's a simple and low effort way to prevent running the most common cheat applications (or problematic applications). I got a scary message one time when I opened p99 and then realized I had WinDBG running from analyzing a crash dump and I guess it was on their 'no no list'. I closed it and logged on no problem after.

their dll isn't stopping anyone from running cheats that they don't know about - so the main benefit is this keeps you from accidentally logging on and getting permabanned if you left something they don't like running on accident. I consider that a benefit.

if you are really that scared close your porn tabs before you run the game

I mean this is the basic concept, cheat deterrents. There is also non-personally identifying device information which makes identifying 2boxing a little easier as well, and isn't any different from what every website on the internet gleans as you surf the web. But nobody is looking at it unless there's actual cause to investigate rule violations or account theft.

If you think anyone is actively watching you, then you really overestimate how interesting you actually are.

That seems like a false statement. What device information exactly? I heard computer and user name which can be personally identifying.

Can websites get your user or computer name? Is that what is being referred to? Last I checked that information is not available or intended to be available to any website.

Sounds like the NSA and their logic that they aren't spying on you by collecting your information because no one is looking at what was collected... until some other time.

Uthgaard aren't you that rogue GM who I saw ban players without cause and I petitioned it and messaged Nilbog on the forums about it? Yeah that's right it was Mistmoore and I saw someone accidentally train a mob or something and you popped up in response. I told you I saw the whole thing and it was an accident but you essentially told me to shut up and perma banned them. You already had a rep for bad decision making like this and thinking your job was to play bad cop and insult players. I say that because I also had already messaged Nilbog that I was concerned you weren't a fair or good GM so this training incident was me saying I had confirmation of my earlier beliefs.

Anyway the reason I bring it up is because sometime after that occurred I called you gay on the forums and you perma banned all my in game accounts for it even linking IPs to other accounts banning my families accounts. Luckily Rogean unbanned my accounts after you yourself got banned.

Point being it's funny to hear you say this when you were a power obsessed GM who unfairly banned players on multiple occasions including in my case accounts I had merely logged into for calling you gay on forums. So clearly you yourself felt I was interesting enough to punish by using this collected data, in my case IP information, so why wouldn't you or someone like you use the additional computer information when someone calls you gay or worse and you want to punish them maybe beyond the game world? After all, I broke a forum rule on the forums but you applied that to game accounts some of which weren't even mine. I don't think your statements are very trustworthy but maybe I'm wrong.

By the way I never got to apologize for that, I'm sorry, it was inappropriate to call you gay and was insulting to gay people too to use this as a slur.

Huge rant

Every time I post you reply to it with a huge rant about being banned (which is really impressive that you've managed to stay bigmad for a whole decade now), but...

Every time you post? I haven't even responded to anything you've written in probably that same decade. I'm not sure if I ever responded to you actually, how could I? You banned all my accounts including my forum account and you already got kicked off staff before I was unbanned.

I'm not mad I'm just pointing out what seems like hypocrisy in this post I happened to see. You don't know who I am but you say I've responded to every post you make? Pretty bizarre from my perspective. You signed up after me but same year and you have almost 10x as many posts as I do.

In any case I'll take your lack of response to the actual discussion to mean that your claims were wrong.

Edit:

I was looking at your post history to figure out if I somehow had responded to you recently and I see you just came back to say "whats up" and your thread is basically full of the people you unfairly banned calling you out for it. It's pretty funny to me that you still believe you were a good GM. Pages of stories of players saying they got banned by you for nonsensical reasons and your response is that they all deserved it. Somehow you are the only GM who has this reputation but you still can't own it. You should have stuck to bug reports and dev work. I do actually think the overboard unstable GM is funny though and I'm glad I got to be banned by you. Thanks for the good times.
