Attacking Someone with minus naq, gives me minus naq?

[Shinobii]

I thought this was odd, I was farming DoC, hit some account named DeeS that had -4.9bil out. I saw the minus but figured i would hit it anyways just for fun.

So my attack log says i took zero naq, but off to the left it says i have -4.9bil, then i hit nigatsu for 3bil and while it says I stole 3 bil naq in my attack log, off to the side i've gone down to -1.9bil.

So is this a bug or a feature to prevent that negative naq exploit?

I think it is caused when two people attack at once and both steal the naq, as to why it gave you negative naq when you attacked him I don't know why.

when 2 people attack at the same time, someone takes naq and the other takes minus naq for some reason, and it resets after the turn i think

This wasn't at the same time. I saw the person with negative naq out, figured WTH, and attacked him and ended up with negative naq. I brought it up in the group chat, and some other people attacked and also ended up with negative naq.

After the turn my naq reset to zero, I also did not recieve my regular income that turn.

In a war situation it might be exploited....have one ally get attacked at the same, get him negative naq, then have everyone attack him and voila, anybody farming that turn only gets negative naq.

It would take a ton of effort though that probably isn't worth it. I just figured i'd bring it up in case it was a "feature" that was introduced to prevent that naq exploit that caused huge issues a half a year ago.
