I would seriously advise people who are fans of defender trainer to not play the game at the moment.
Last month, I (Neo account - umbreon_of_the_moon), got a score of 748 legitimately from a slow-as-heck computer.
Why was I on a slow computer? Well, I wasn't, kinda...let me explain my situation.
----------------
About two and a half weeks ago, maybe around the 26th/27th/28th of September, my motherboard went bang. Now we're talking about uber-fast processor and all that stuff, I'm talking about the whole lot, it just...didn't want to work anymore.
As I do not have the cash to fork out to buy another uber-fast motherboard, processor, and the like, I put in an OLDER, SLOWER motherboard & processor. Unfortunately, this meant that flash games run exceedingly slowly, even if they're loaded on low quality.
Me, being the trophy freak I am (72 trophies - 51 gold - most unique gold in neopia), I thought I could use this slow computer to my advantage..that is to say, go for trophies. As it says NOTHING IN THE RULES on neopets about having a slow computer (and I did check them before I played), I decided to go for a gold defender trophy score. I got that with a score of 748 at the end of last month.
Moving forward a couple of days, still unfrozen, I did a challenge for another member of the Defender Trainer high score table (he's in the trophies, but for confidentiality's sake, coz I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post other people's IDs here, I'll just say 'him'), he got a high score, and I got into 1st place, with a score of 738. Still not frozen. This was a 10,000NP defender trainer challenge btw.
Now, yesterday, I take a defender trainer challenge from the challenge arena. I play it, get a score of 724 - Note that this is WAY lower than the other two scores which were declared legitimate and valid. I try to send it, and it came up with that "The server cannot currently accept your score at this time" bug... or whatever it says, I forget the exact text. People who've had this come up will know.
Anyways, I go back to refresh the defender trainer page to see if I won the challenge or if the score did send, and I see myself logged out.
I go to try and login, and it says I had been frozen for cheating at flash games.
So I ask this, if my score of 748 & 738 were declared legitimate, why in Neopia did I get frozen for a score of 724?! Which was LEGITIMATE, without cheating, and all that stuff. The only thing I possibly did wrong was play on a slow computer, and that was beyond my control with money problems. So tell me something, am I not supposed to play flash games until I can afford the huge price over here for base computer motherboards and processors?
Would YOU not play flash games until you could afford it?!
I think there's been an autobot unfair freezing here...
If anyone can help me or advise me, or whatever, contact me on yahoo messenger (dwaggie_dragonite).
Or post here...either way, I've been on neopets for over 45 months, got 72 trophies + 6 others (above game trophies), and 147 avatars. Would i have risked all that to get a gold trophy score in a GAME THAT I ALREADY HAVE THE GOLD TROPHY IN?!
*sigh* Can anyone give me any advice at all?
