I didn't cheat

Tue Jan 11, 2005 4:15 pm

Playing my normal game of Meerca Chase 2 trying to get my nps back up to 30,000 nps I got this:

And when you get the cheat monster you can't play the game.....
Why does it say I cheated?
I DIDN'T!

*freaked out by the avatar* :(

anyway, is it some kind of freakish odd random event?
like the one that allows you to play a game three more times in the day?

I see a lot of people have been getting the Cheat Monster for NOTHING.
Maybe there's some sort of bug in the system? o_O

Do you have dialup? It could be as simple as getting a hitch in your connectio, and the system seeing that as you attempting to use a program to send scores.

Didn't that also happen to some other guy, in the same game (Didn't even get a score of 400)? Maybe its just a glitch with Meerca Chase 2. I'd definately ask about it, in the editorial or something. I dunno, but it sure is weird.

I saw that, it definetley happened twice to him with Meerca Chase 2. TNT should really check out that game. I haven't played it since it officially came out just in case. (Don't want to get wrongfully frozen.) Yes, I'm super-paranoid about all flash games.

Hopefully they'll figure out what's wrong with Meerca Chase 2. If there is anything. o_O

Adam, check out this thread from about a week ago. The person who got it then didn't cheat either, but was clicking a lot on the Meerca's eye, which causes some little guy to pop out: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11748&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=cheat+monster&start=0

My guess is that the same computer programmer who put the little guy in the game also put the cheat monster in the game--just to mess with us!

I have dialup.
But I didn't even send a score yet.
I just pressed retry and then a pop up came up and it scared me.
Then I saw the cheat monster.

Maybe clicking the eyes does something to the game you don't notice. Or perhaps it counts as cheating, even though it doesn't affect your score?

Nah. It's just an easter egg. They've got something like it in the first Meerca Chase.
You click the top right corner of the game window and you can use a "J Boogie" cursor. It doesn't affect gameplay either, and i've never heard of someone being warned/frozen for using it.

Yikes that would have freaked me out. After hearing all the flash stories im staying well away from them...i play games like scarab and solitaire instead :P and pyramids too
