First off, I don't know if using a script or some type of browser plug-in is illegal or not. It seems to me that using something of this nature to help one win speed games should be against the rules, since part of the challenge of playing a speed game is making decisions and executing them quickly. If someone had assistance from a computer script or plug-in, it seems that would be an unfair advantage. Especially when the game is a freestyle-type game, where paying quickly is even more important.
Anyway, if you look at the entire log of the game I've referenced, King_Herpes put all of his troops out 1 at a time for his first few turns. Why someone would put out his troops 1 at a time I don't know (unless a script was executing these deployments for him), but how he is able to do it so quickly is even more concerning. There are multiple times throughout that log where he manages to put down 1 troop on a territory twice in one second! Pretty unbelievable considering the fact that he'd have to change a drop-down menu in between deployments.
The whole game was played by him at super-human (impossible) speed, in my opinion.
I realize he is ranked much higher than me, and may be much, much better than me at ConquerClub. However, even given that fact, I find it hard to believe he was able to do this without some form of automated assistance.
Thanks.
