    You will not sign out, but you will not be able to enter any commands untill the captcha is answered. On a side note why leave the game on all day if you are not home?

    Nothing, they will work, you just cannot enter any new commands

    So what does "ignoring" the pop do? How much time do you have have to enter data? What if you are doing a timed attack... and the popup shows up? What about defending multi waves where you need to heal or open close gates? What about building walls for the next wave?

    Again, the question, what game function is stopped when the popup shows up?
    Again the game will still play just as if you are logged off, you just cannot enter any new commands untill the captcha is answered.

    This is a great question, If I have timed attacks coming or going and this popup happens it could be a complete game ender for many of the people that get the popup at the wrong time.

    LOL - I've said this before and I say it again..."use cases".

    Guys, STUDY the game! Some Cus-Sat use case issues:

    1. I spend HOURS coordinating my attacks for precise timing to land 20, 30, 90 waves on an enemy town at exactly the right seconds. Capchas popping up and ruining that effort is going to be a HUGE negative to gameplay.

    2. I'm defending against 10 incoming mech attacks pretty well timed. I have my mech defense in place and I've sent away 10 waves of fodder layers with the intent to recall them in between the waves (using camp times). Right in the middle, the capcha pops up and POW i lose millions of troops that I could have killed with zero losses otherwise.

    3. I'm sending scout bombs to land on top of my transport waves...capcha pops up, FAIL.

    4. I'm timing reinforcements to land at my alliance mate's town just seconds before a big attack hits...capcha...FAIL.

    5..........

    Should I continue?

    An effort to eliminate something "illegal" that really has now just become part of the game (intended or not) will result in completely CHANGING gameplan. I mean, unless you've already considered this potentially unintended outcomes, you're just "bugging" the game to defeat something else you don't like.

    Since when does two wrongs equal one right?

    Sure, post the easiest you can find and ignore

    This though is representational of most of the captcha images. As you can see being color blind does not change anything, our captcha does not rely on light colors on a light background. There will always be a brightness difference between the background and the text. Example a partial red colorblind (red deficient) person like me would have problems with a light red/pink on a grey background.
    Are you serious? You think that you can proof no one that is color blind is having any problems because a black and white image shows readable letters?

    OMG


    And, in fact, light colors are used on a light background in some of the above examples.

    You can also see that there are no squiggly lines as some people are complaining about.
    Ah, you don't know your own captcha system. What a surprise...

    Evony's captcha's become blurrier in stages, depending on how many you enter. The second stage is basically completely unreadable and does include a lot of lines, the third stage isn't a stage anymore, it's just a random bunch of colors.

    Case in point for many of the posts in this thread...W or w, V or v, o or O or 0...(is it coincidence there are two w's so one can distinguish in this example?) Is this screen shot the actual size it is on the screen? I see a 1.5 inch wide box in your picture on my 20 inch monitor?is that accurate?

    So, if i understand correctly, u'r f'ed if you are defending or sending out timed attacks. No way you can manage an interuption like this while doing these things.

    I've being playing well over 2 1/2 years... No way to defend a city if you get a required popup.

    Sorry, this wont work.
