Erm mate you would not be happy if i came in plugging it on a game taking every £ out of it!!

Then it made money back so I done it off a different game and took it all out again at this point you are down £230

Then one last hit before you got rid or barred me if you knew it was me!!

I would tell you too keep an eye out but I dont want you too incase you get a paragon and accidentaly get it on the wrong software

i think he's on about 'proper' people playing it legitimately,through brain power ,not ripping him off by defrauding the unit.

I think anfield has demonstrated previously that he struggles to understand the difference between being a player and being a thief.

I indeed meant proper players, demonstrating exceptional skill, not scummers.
Oh, I'm so scared.

What you on about a thief?? fuck me pluggin is hardly illigal you lot need to sort your heads out and make some money if its on offer instead of being muppets who go skint!!

press the switch for £40 ''no sir thats illigal'' should be more like erm press the switch wait 2 minuites for £40 I will be having that!!

What about Stacka if that was on his quiz machine if he purchased a different cabinet? am I still a thief??? What about TPTP? am I still a thief?? and what about the game after if I was going to sit on it for 3 hours to make £100? Leaving a £100 IOU??

If you aint got the bollocks to do it then believe me someone else has!!!

I guarentee some people on here are the people I despise who sit in pubs staring at you because they are so sad and aare gutted they aint got what it takes..

Surely theres a good few players on here who are in the same thinking logic as me???

anfield, plugging a machine for financial gain IS defrauding it plain and simple ,stacka is fair game ,as is c4 ,tptp is debatable although i will plead guilty to abusing it so i'm not gonna get all high and mighty on this score.

I agree with lugsy.

Plugging along with any other actions external to the game that deliberately interferes with a machine's normal function in order to get money out is certainly illegal. And saying that it is so easy to do and so easy to get away with doesn't make it legal.

Badly designed and tested software is fair game.

But if anfield thinks plugging is perfectly legal he should explain it to the police the next time he gets his collar felt. Which on past form shouldn't be too long :lol:

I agree with Lugsy and Quizard, for what it's worth.

There's a big difference between, as Quizard puts it, physical interference with a machine, and the exploitation of poorly-written software. I have no problems with players exploiting the TPTP bug (I wouldn't even say it's "debatable": it's up to programmers to rid their programs of such stupid bugs).

Totally agree with grecian. Next you will be saying is it is legal to pick the locks and take the contents of the machine because they were stupid enough to only use 10 pin locks.

If I operated or owned a machine, and I caught you or any other scummer physicaly attacking my machine I would quite happily hurt you.

But as I said, trying to keep on topic, what would Dave and the Fatspanner menu system do if "team fruitchat" turned using skill and dexterity, and not being chav scum theiving knobs, emptied the machine? Thats all I want to know... Not some blubber about how "u ant gut wot it taakse". Nothing else. Not much to ask I thought. :(

'boring - i aint no thief just clever'

yeah right ---so you thought of all the ways to exploit the programs just by yourself!

a few years ago people were going around using a device to empty gamesnets.

the person who invented the device was clever---the people who went round the machines with the device were not (anybody could have done what they have done using this bit of kit)

if you have a top of the range mobile phone does that make you clever youre using it but you didnt invent it

All theif's and hustlers are "clever" you just had to watch the real hustle to find that out - some of the tricks were really ingenious...

Doesn't stop them still being a theif though does it?! I'm sure if you had cctv evidence of an on/off trick which was blatently frauding the machine, it would hold up in court as being fraud, and you'd get sent down...

The point that its easy to get away with, hard to prove what you were doing and the point that it was clever trick is the same as all "hustle's"!

I absolutely hate that programme! Surely they are just actors and are fed the tricks. Any woman who is barely attractive and in a short skirt can get away with anything. How many of their scams that dont work get shown! precisely zero.
the same critiscism can be levelled at any of those police action programmes--they never fail to get the criminal-hurrah!

back to the scams- as weve discussed before months ago its not a black & white issue--but anfield rds attitude is annoying.
