Anyways been a while I haven't punched codes on ICM. Yeah I know about the new layout and that's not what I'm confused about.
As I'm working thru each page from the most recent to to the oldest I ran into a big batch of codes all with the same name but different numbers. Most showed up as new player and a few as already invited or in my mob already. Well as I was 👊👊 codes I got a little suspicious of how someone can post so many of the same code name. So i decide to check for these new players under mobster search. When I looked them up none of them showed up. All where in regular font. Than when I found a new player from some other code contributor the player did show up. So my question is what gives?

I suspect a hacker. The same person always does the same codes. I have no idea how he does it, but I think someones been hacking ICM to get their to the top. That's just a theory though

Yep I punched them and checked them and none accepted.

They are inactive players codes. Say if you have one 5 letter word with 3 numbers code, there is more than one use of the word, so the number combination could be any number between 000-999. for example (this is not a code) AAAAA000 could be one option for a code and then AAAAA653 could be another. If someone has a valid starting word, they could spend hours on end inviting all the number combinations, and when they get a valid one, they post it on ICM.

The truth👆👍

Quite a crazy truth! Who does that?

Yes I noticed that too. He apparently has a script that iterates over all the number combinations and automatically tries adding each one. If so, then here comes the ban hammer...

I talked to the player who did it. That's exactly what he did. Went thru the combos of words and numbers. Probably 80% are inactive. But if they ever come back you have an invite in. Probably wouldn't if he hadn't posted since some of these guys are old codes.

yeah i think the search algorithm takes into account the last time a player was on, so it doesnt show inactives

Wow I punched all of those codes and they are inactive. Is this really true?

Ok. I'm noticing more pages of similar codes in sequence. The older invites also haven't got accepted yet after a week. Now I'm getting dizzy just trying to get adopt ed I mean accepted lol
DonVitoCorleone Oct 14, 2012

Yeah noticed as I was punching codes. I just skipped em. Same ahole just under different name I suppose.
☣ᏔIRΞD☣ Oct 14, 2012

That explains why the 2000 codes I punched the other day only came out to about 800 accepted....
