I just got an anti-bot pop-up on Empire

SinCityGuy · #1 07-13-2005, 06:06 PM

I was playing 4 tables, and a pop-up appeared with five squiggly letters. I was instructed to type in the five letters within 120 seconds.

Anyone else see this yet?

Was wondering how long it would take for this to start.

I didn't have any trouble reading the letters; however, I was in the middle of a hand on one of the tables and the buttons disappeared. I was going to fold anyway, so in this case it wasn't a big deal when I timed out.

I am glad they are doing this and sure they have certain criteria to prompt the boxes.

So--the interesting question is what happens when I am actively involved in a large pot and this happens--does disconnect protection apply, I wonder . . .

Yeah, apparently some Party skins started doing this a couple of weeks ago. I still have never gotten one though. In any event, this is a good thing IMO.
