You guys fix the bug where if a Warden leaves a boat on the edge of intel range, it spams SIGIL with 10,000 discord messages yet? That was fun to exploit.


xXFirebladeXx321

You thinking as if 99% of the collies haven't muted that channel already by this point lmao


BarbatosJaegar

Still exists, and the fact it exists says a lot.


Abyssal_Aether

We also have a bot that lets us draw dongs on each other’s planned based on the map if that makes you feel any better


BarbatosJaegar

Sounds fun


garyferns

It exist for people like you. Its they to mess with your mind. Here is something you should think about. About 10 to 15% of colonial are even part of SIGIL. They are lot of people who just randoms. I know a lot of colonial clans that exist outside this. My point SIGIL isn't used by everyone that joins colonial Faction. Half of Sigil are probably Armchair general and dont really play the game until probably their favorite tech is unlocked. When you put all these numbers and consider different timezone and the fact that Skynet is nothing but annoying as hell, you should draw your own conclusion. Its hardly effective. Now why do you think SIGIL keeps its around. 1) Kastow has put in a lot of time and effort and like any creation you either like to see it to the end. 2) Warden Pysops. The very fact that you think its effective and Sigil Colonial think this is highly effective at messing around with you guys(mindfuck).


BarbatosJaegar

This SKYNET is literally beyond tryharding, it’s good code in fairness but you don’t have to create to try hard this much. Did I ever thought that it is effective? Did I? Do I think it’s effective? Probably not but it could be, not at the current of state of the game though and unlike “Warden PsyOps” if that is even real, there are concrete proofs which you also proved that it has discord channel or something on SIGIL. The point is I’m questioning it’s very existence.


BossBigTeef

Everything in sigil is a psy-op designed to distract you and piss you off so you spend more time outside of the game complaining than actually playing the game. You are going to fucking hate my new science project. \--> Current engineer on the new sigil project


BarbatosJaegar

Like the base builder tool that can generate dong lol sure, we have techmaids that you will never have then.


Evilsmiley

You can keep them.


coolest834

please jump off a bridge


garyferns

So if its try hard what is tickling your arse then. Maybe not you, but the number of post reddit generated post since you guys lost WAR 92 here seems to point towards that direction. Your very comment on this post is in line with that. Its definitely a third party program and as may have countered before, alot of other third party program should not exist including artillery calculator, discord, all the colour mods. If your going to take out one then you need to take them all out, which brings us to looking at them individually case by case and seeing how effective they are? On the question how effective it is fireblade has already pretty much answered it and many people already seems to see the flaw.


BarbatosJaegar

Have you actually read the post? It’s very existence I’m questioning at. Don’t even compare it to other like Color mods, artillery and discord. I’m not talking about 3rd party software. It is the fact you literally have a SKYNET that integrate idk computers that just look at someone’s map and ping it to the discord. Artillery Calculator, Discord and colour mods are like high school math test , Children’s walkie talkie and colouring book, it’s not even in the same field of SKYNET lol.


garyferns

No they are not different. Both are mods its essential overwriting existing files and allowing those who use it a certain advantage. Yes the color coding is literally allowing your brain to pick things faster, over someone who doesn't have it on. I see that as a huge advantage. As I already said it subjective to how people look at it?Its literally an opinion.


Round_Wonder3722

Wardens an collies have access to to color mod and foxhole stats, so technically there is no factional imbalance but collies have a skynet and wardens dont


LurchTheBastard

I ended up losing my verification in the shakeup a little while back, and haven't bothered to re-verify.


xXFirebladeXx321

Yes, it exists because of wardens having it live rent free in their minds. It serves a great purpose of creating fear about a thing which isn't even there. Greatest psyop.


BarbatosJaegar

It’s not about that it is a “PsyOp”, I’m talking about you guys went into different dimension of tryharding.


xXFirebladeXx321

Yes, I would agree it is tryharding if there was atleast 20-30 collie tryhards actually using it lmao. Now I could only remember 2 or 3 people that use it , but rarely, mainly the developer and then a couple people streaming it for producing a heatmap of partisans in the last 24 hours across the map. I wonder when we would have like 50-100 people actively using skynet, thats when warden partisans will stop existing completely, but yeah, that may not become reality as skynet is just an infinite ping spam right now.


LucksRunOut

Who would win? Interconnected OCR system running on dozens of people's PCs to feed a discord bot broadcasting to thousands of players; Or one 60 bmat warden boat sitting next to a watch tower.


AccelRock

Yes, keep leaving those boats. The bots can't hurt you if you provide sacrifices.


Cao_Bynes

Who would win, one pretty unimpactful bot or the entirety of wardens on Reddit mental?


_-Deliverance-_

Oh boy if we had dozens of people's PCs streaming the map....we might actually be able to eliminate all warden partisans


lbizness

I hope the devs make skynet a standard feature to the game. It needs a detection area setting. A severity setting based on the number of enemy vehicles/inf on map and to prevent msg spam, a movement threshold setting, so it only pings again when there is major enemy movement. With these settings skynet would become really awesome to use. I don’t mind leaving my computer on while I sleep so skynet can post info on discord about Nightcappers, SC spotters, Satchel teams, etc. Some QRF is better than No QRF.


_-Deliverance-_

Thanks to Skynet, I never have to look for a ride again. Thank Skynet!!


Red_Dawn_2012

This looks scarily like outdated charts that the military actually uses. Bravo.


ikeep4getting

A real military chart wouldn’t have that many boxes marked as green


Red_Dawn_2012

Could be Army


ikeep4getting

Am Army. Green in this context means “Task complete”.


Red_Dawn_2012

This is very reminiscent of the horrible contents of some Air Force CBTs. Maybe it needs more yellow and red.


skyguardian18

Air Force do C&BT? Hardly surprised me


Red_Dawn_2012

Probably more enjoyable than the computer based trainings


Classy_Scrub

Rumor has it the reason wardens lost last war is that they were all red on dental.


soyenby_in_a_skirt

Yeah but green is our whole thing tho


[deleted]

I genuinely thought this was a legitimate military flow chart 😂😂

Foxhole - Automated warfare


destinyxarrives

As a colonial, SKNET has increased my credit score 100 points and saved my failing marriage! Thanks skynet!


[deleted]

Whoever named it SALT is a god damn hero.


XDaelin1

Thanks to skynet I’ll never lose my car keys again.


Mosinphile

Skynet made my colonial Rifle grow 10 inches.


Mountain_Finding_603

Droopy Rifle? This One Weird Pill Fixes it. Techmaids hate him!


BarbatosJaegar

Bet it also has biometrics scanner which makes the gun inaccurate if a warden holds on to it.


CHEESEninja200

God damn, this looks just about as real as a military slide show looks. It's so boring and convoluted. I love it.


CharlesXIIofSverige

Just need the illiterate E6 trying to read off the slide


benboyv8991

This is uncomfortably close to what I do in the military….I hate it


overtoastreborn

This diagram is so so fucking lame, it is one of my favorite pieces of fan work out of this game tbh


pjtgamer

Bait post lol


limdi

Collie Reddit QRF countermeasures launched. T-10, 9, 8, 7, 6...


XDaelin1

Hello i have the colonial Reddit qrf role in your head which is also a feature of skynet. We have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty. It seems that you may have a 5G tracker chip embedded in your arm. As long as this chip is in your arm skynet will be sending me your location every five minutes. Please seek medical attention at the nearest colonial re-education camp where you will be put to sleep and your brain removed to become a skynet operator.


limdi

??? So.. is this thread not to offset the criticism of skynet by making fun of the whole matter? :P


XDaelin1

Fun is not allowed in my foxhole.


limdi

And it can never be part of some strategy! Especially not, when one lost the argument before! :P


XDaelin1

Only if you truly believe skynet is a legitimate weapon of mass destruction


pjtgamer

Not really but it shouldn't really exist either game features make it not needed


XDaelin1

I think the aspect of it being player made content is really cool. The difference is though the fact it pings if anyone is detected in a radio/watchtower/obs range. So it is a small advantage. That said it still requires people to qrf. And imagine how many pings a day there are when every Tom dick and Harry wants to go try and find a falchion or a spatha. Other then legitimately being a salt maker it’s just pretty awesome that something like this is player made and I hope it inspires more developers to get in on the action


pjtgamer

But still though it really shouldn't be used. cool that it is a thing but would be nice to end it and stick to the game proper


Drach88

It's awesome that it was made, but I firmly believe that it falls outside of the stated code of conduct. If the developers give the official thumbs up, I'm making a Warden version... with blackjack, and hookers. Running a separate dummy account, and then using image detection to feed a bot seems to be against both the spirit of the game as well as the "external tools". > Do not use alternate accounts to join the opposing faction or gain an unfair advantage > Do not exploit bugs, modify the game client, or use external tools to gain an unfair advantage Skynet, from my understanding, seems to break both of these rules, but as always, the devs have the final say.


XDaelin1

The devs have given it their thumbs up. Kastow asked them about it. He also promised to take it down if they ask but so far they have green lighted it


Drach88

I've now seen the response from the devs -- they have neither approved it nor disallowed it, and have indicated that they're still considering. They have *not* given the green light.


Titanium-Ti

It is trivial to make one... If you are not going to do it... I will. Only, mine will work. It will also provide azimuth and distance for artillery using the map including compensating for wind automatically.


XDaelin1

If you can find a way to program a bot to detect the different wind levels automatically I’ll spread your name across all the lands as the greatest developer in the world


Titanium-Ti

its not hard... there is only like 5 wind levels and they are vastly different. The fun part is when we can have QRF just launch arties at the partisans blindly using the map. You are the wrong color though to make use of it, unless you would switch teams for an automagical arty calculator that actually works.


pjtgamer

Someone else downvoted you this is a good take, so I'll counter with a upvote


XDaelin1

Appreciate it but no worries I got lots of “internet karma” this is a hot topic because a lot of people don’t want to accept that it’s a tool that isn’t used heavily but it’s more so in existence because the developer put so much work into it it would be heartbreaking to take it down on him


GreekG33k

The pings are just horror. Honestly I would rather QRF for in-game chat. That said I have no issue with it's existence


bluechurch

SKYNET helped remind me with my rent and now I'm only four days late instead of 15. I saved over 3,000 Collie Coins of late fees thanks to SKYNET


GreekG33k

Thank you Skynet! (Silently unsubscribes rather than read through 10,000 pings)


GrimmDeath16

If you or a loved one have been affected by skynet you may be eligible for financial compensation..


Gameguru08

SKYNET helped me with my downpayment, and gave me a new line of credit! Thanks, SKYNET!


ToXiC_Games

I Fucking love these kinds of diagrams and I don’t know why


foxholenoob

I just skynet'd in my pants.


DrDestro229

so from what we see the collies have the RA1 allied tech center with the spy sat power


shitcarius

Hmm colonial c4i development going well


2changuwu

If wardens had this and collies didn't we'd be seeing non-stop posts about how this is more evidence that we're exploiting pieces of shit, so bad at the game we need a bot, etc. Good show folks.


Tomreks

Replace word colonial with warden and nothing changes. People are people and you should be old enough to understand.


Evilsmiley

I'm going to tell you a secret, there is literally no difference between the warden and colonial playerbase, they will behave exactly the same in the same situations. The divide is artificially created by the Devman to keep us fighting.


prawnthrowaway282746

Looks very good and exactly like what we see irl


GreekG33k

Oh no! They have captured our secrets!
