For Level 9 see the end of Level 8. The goal of level 9 is to create your own account on the bot and gain +n (owner) by exploiting an intentional bug in the bot.

Any effort to let the bot crash, die or act erroneously is forbidden.


Any violations of the above rules are subject to a site ban on your IP or subnet or an immediate kickban by any channel operator.

Yes, that's what it says in the rules.... but.... this is what it says on the level 8 page:

LEVEL 8

Level 8 and up are currently out of service, try again later!


And on the main page, they only mention having levels 1-7 up... as of May 25th, the last level that they put up was level 7.

If you're still stuck on level 6, a friend recommended me a program called Iris.

I haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it'll work, but it does present interesting possibilities.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to provide a link to iris? I googled it, but came up with a bunch of none-related sites...

Hehe, I was doing this in school but the comps don't have flash and I ran outta system memory when i tried to get it. I just started it and I'm on level 4.

Levels one, two and three were a piece of cake. Four looks to be the same way.

(I woulda thought ATFers would be better at this game ;))

--aR labs

Edit: just beat level four. WOW! That was easy On to level five!

Any tips for level 5? I have the code in front of me but the piece code that supposedly "gives it away" doesn't work.
