everyone can adjust their clock..
But here's what I'm thinking
After 5 minutes, the macrocheck window turns to a new window that says you've been caught, etc etc.
So, if when I lose connection (and thus having the "connection lost" window in my uo) I also have the macrocheck window (the first one) , it means I got disconnected before 5 minutes of macrocheck. So I shouldn't be punished for it. If I am away for more than 5 minutes and my connection doesn't drop, then, even if it drops after that, I'll have the second macrocheck window so I won't be able to get my way out of it with any ss.

the only way I see to rig this is if you have a script that stops your internet connection when a macrochek appears lol
Because if it's one that closes uo window, then there's no way you can take an SS after that.

If then, I present an SS with two windows (a macrocheck window and a connection lost) it proves I was in front of the pc to take that SS right?

If you get disconnected during a macrocheck, the macrocheck will fail.

I believe this is what was happening with those abusing the macrocheck. They closed uo when a macrocheck appeared so that it would fail.
Or, does the macrocheck "know" if you closed uo (abused) or if you lost connection (bad luck/happens)?

I know it's a bit ridiculous no? But I'm getting confused with all this. Boris said in what that it seems that "oh if you lose con, the check fails so it's ok" but then again, that's exactly what these "illegal scripts" are doing, they are closing uo to make the check fail.
So I was expecting that the only way to be safe with this was to take the SS. But after I posted that, instead of Boris saying yes or no, he just said net loss during check makes it fail. Ok, but how does that help me?
Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding everything :S

if your connection crashes, charecter stays visable about 15 minutes(if you're macroing somwhere you're not friended) and doesen't send any skill macro to the server, no? If script shuts down uo the person normaly macro where he is frended so he's gone in 15 seconds.
