Damage control time...

Earlier I mentioned that it was discovered how bad the security was on the MSS website. Well, that revelation has unfortunately come back to bite me in the rear. Someone used the information that was posted on the Gamespot forums to gain access to the moderator account and make a whole bunch of posts as the "moderator" and some posts under my screen identity.

Not cool.

I just want to go on record now saying I do not support or condone the actions of that individual one bit. For the lack of a better term, what you have done is not only vandalize the Mario Super Sluggers Cards website but my good name as well.

You even admitted it that you used it and I have saved the screens where you have admitted to such acts.

I never meant for any harm to come from this knowledge -- I only meant to show how poorly designed a billion dollar corporation's website was.

Stay tuned...I think its only going to get worse :|

Blooper is on the loose!

Yes it's true...

The third of the remaining three cards has been "released" much in the same manner that King K.Rool was last weekend. Blooper is now circulating throughout the Gamespot/GameFaqs forums and he's multiplying faster than Nintento would like it to.

I still blame Nintendo for shoddy security and poor website setups.

I cannot go fully into how we found Blooper but let's just say that if it was that easy to gain access to the "dashboard" then how many others have quietly done it?

Let the cloning continue...

It's back! Cloning Resumes...

The "clone wars" have started again...

It was fun while it lasted -- King K.Rool Cloning Done

It had to happen sooner or later. Nintendo found out what we were doing in an earlier post I made about cloning the elusive "King K.Rool" card in their "Mario Super Sluggers" card hunt.

Too bad too because there are still three cards to go and I wanted to see if we could generate the same hype as we did with the K.Rool card.

As of this writing, there still has been no sign of the King K.Rool card address, nor the addresses of the other three remaining cards -- King Boo, Baby Mario and Blooper.

We'll keep our eyes (and ears) peeled and the minute we know about it, you will too.

How to Get King K.Rool - Listen Up Because I Will Only Say This Once

I'm sure you all know of the Mario Super Sluggers virtual card promotion that is currently underway to help promote the release of the Wii video game. For almost a month now, Nintendo has been hiding "virtual baseball cards" online in web advertising banners and kid-friendly websites.

Over the course of the promotion, I have been participating in the little game. I find it amusing to see many people literally losing their minds trying to find cards online. Myself, I have had a run-in with an editor over at Wikipedia who claims that only "little kids" are playing this game. Well to my surprise, there are many adults like myself taking part. Some are even doing it with their children.

As you have read in my previous entries, Nintendo's website was not the most secure as anyone could have their account compromised and have their collected pilfered simply by requesting their password without having to enter an answer to the hint question you provided upon sign-up. Nintendo quickly fixed that but you have to wonder who exactly within Nintendo has designed this website where the game is being promoted on.

I have come across another flaw in their system which easily allows users to "clone" or make many duplicate copies of cards that have been found. As of last night, there were only two King K.Rool cards in existance. I requested a trade with the one user who had two and offered him 5 cards against his 1 K.Rool card. To my shock and surprise, he accepted the trade.

That's when I put my little plan into action. I had previously seen users claiming they could make copies of their cards by simply finding their own user account and proposing a trade of equal value. What that means is you load 1 card on the left side of the trade screen and you load the exact same card on the right side of the swap screen. You then propose the trade and instantly it tells you that "DCB316 has requested a trade" and it tells you which cards are involved. You simply go to accept the trade and amazingly enough -- you cards DOUBLED in amount. So your previous ownership of one King K.Rool card has now become two.

From there you must log out of the system and then log back in. Only then can you go and turn your two cards into four and repeat the process over and over.

You're likely wondering though -- "What's the catch"?

What I want in exchange for this information is the following. I shared with you two things so you must do the same thing in return - copy and share my example. Its that simple. There are so many selfish people in the world that its about time that good old fashioned values make a return.

Its a modern day version of "Pay it Forward" -- I help you so therefore I EXPECT you to turn around and help three total strangers and I only request that you tell them to do the same.

Believe it or not, this system works and its shows how if people would only work together how much better a place the world would be.

Think about it...
