Topic: [78827] How to tell if someone's online or not

[-78827] AgentY [None] :: Oct. 21, 2012, 10:41 p.m.
You know how you don't want the person you're attacking to be online? Well there is a way to find out if the person is on or off. Look in their posts and see if the green light on the left is on or off. If it is on, they are online and you should retreat. If they aren't attack them!!
This is probably useful to targets that are really close.

Well, not everyone goes on the forums...

Thats flase info, the green light is only on if they are on the fourm not on the game

False
This is only in forums.

Yes, only in the forums. But still, it is a good idea, I never go straight to the forum, I go to my game first.

That is useless, I could let my account in the forum open on porpouse so peope think I am online.

Start a fire at your target, then see when it gets put out. It takes time, and you have to watch, but it's the only way I've found in this game to know when someone comes online.

Or send someone to infiltrate their alliance,which is difficult but well worth it.

Why don't you just send them a message and see if they reply

Also how about not being a coward and not attacking the defenseless people who are away from the game

Only in forums. On GGE,you can see that on the alliance member page. I'm popping popcorn right now. Status update.

Send you're real spies out, to their real homes, see if they are really sitting at the computer with Empire on the screen...

or I guess it'd be easier and cheaper if you've got a gift in remote viewing...

Sending a message is pretty simple but it ain't foolproof

And Jade's right...deception deceives, stealth has its surprises, tricks up the sleeve...you'll never know.

Courage, Daring...at some point just attack...

Glad you asked, i've been wondering if I've missed some way of knowing.
Over and Out

This is the way :
First check the swordbrothers if they are high lv and only have 16
Spy on the economics to see if there is any sudden decrease
Sabotage and check to see if the first get less
Then spy on military and if possible attack
Finally,see if they have the alliance.
Usually, you get 90% right when doing this :)
