There is an illegal, third-party plug-in to the FireFox browser that allows the use of unlimited power ups. In normal LEGAL play you can only use two of the four power ups: Power Potion, King Sling, Scope, or Birdquake, plus only one Wingman per bird/shot. But using the illegal plug-in on Firefox browser, you can use any combination of power ups or Wingmen unlimited. This is how the cheaters get seemingly impossible high scores. There are other illegal “boost” plug-ins available that make each bird much more powerful. Any such “hack” software or plug-ins NOT approved by Rovio are a direct violation of international copyright. Rovio loses money on their sole ownership of copyright as well as the honest players who cannot possibly compete with the cheaters. Very frustrating for all.

IMO, Rovio implemented ABF league play as a means to weed out the cheaters. This is a good thing. If any player with super high scores is suspected of using illegal “hack” software or plug-ins, then their names and IP addresses are immediately blocked from further participation in ABF. I could be wrong on this observation, however :)

Main thing: enjoy your game! Don’t worry about the cheaters or hacks. Report to Rovio if you’re particularly bothered by a known cheat/hack, otherwise ignore. They’ll eventually be kicked out. Continue to post your comments and strategies on Nest as usual, and continue to enjoy the social interaction among us fellow HONEST Nesters. There are far more honest ABF Nester-friends than there are cheaters!
