Mana points refreshing...

[Jarulf]

All the things that were written here are those, that we are using now. And they don't work, because people have learnt how to go over them... There are some people who are still trying to find a way how to know if players obbey the rules, but there will never be 100% guarantee that it works. My main purpose for creating this topic was to find out if someone can help with doing modifications to make mana points refreshing and visible for other players. Believe me or not, we were trying a lot of other precautions (jugdes, particular rules etc.) and it seems that the only thing that can deal with the problem is what I'm looking for.

No, you can't change your own computer to make the other computer behave in new ways, such as showing accurate non manipulable mana values. It is simply impossible since each person run their own version of the game on their own computers. Seriously, if you can't trust other people not absuing duel "rules", the only way (safe from sitting in the same room) is to not due. No matter what you modify, you have no way to see if the other person actually use the modification and if he do, does not use additional modifications to overcome it. Examples on how to cheat anyway:

Create mana potions at will in inventory (not telling other computers). Modify mana directly (not telling the other computers, I will stop writing this). Having only successfull "hits" actually be transmitted and thus making it impossible to actually "count" spells and mana on other computers to match. Having autotarget spells so that mana is used more efficiently. Having random numbers always be max (not above so it can be detected). And so on. All the above (plus many more straight forward cheats) still rwquire ADDITIONAL modification on your own computer to actually spot it.

To conclude, there is really nothing you can do as the other player have full control of their own computer and game. Either you trust, or you don't. Sad but the truth.
