was asked to spy on a guy for a friend, and saw he had some weird planets
XXXX Unit Production per Day XXXX XXXX
x XXXXUnit Production per Day XXXX XXXX
planet name is 'x' other 'X' are replacing stats.
'stands in my way' in my way has no stats (yes i know you can get no stat planets)
however, he has 10 planets, 1 seems to be a double UP with two sizes so probably not a duel, giving him 11 planets (10 stated + 1 non stat), even though it shows 10 on his stats page.
spy on him and see what i mean. it's weird.

could just be that the spy log table has falled out of line for some reason but it doesnt draw a line underneath the planet but doesnt appear like a duel.

Re: Weird Duel + No stat planet
its when someone has 9 planets they send the MSout then make a planet on market, and if their MS finds a planet they get to keep it so there is 11.
but i dunno about the no stat planet

is that a bug or a valid 'tactic'? because if some people can have 11 its only fair we can all have 11.

Re: Weird Duel + No stat planet
well its a tricky way to get the 10 planets but its not really abug as all of us can do it, but it depends if your MS can find it :S
so im not really sure, i think its a tactic that can be used

no you are not allowed to have 11 planets in no way should anyone do this as it is abusing a bug and your account can be penalized for it.

Think that pretty much sums it up.

Re: Weird Duel + No stat planet
the user doesnt seem like the kind of person who needs to abuse bugs.
just check out his rank.
i am guessing it is a mistake or problem with the spies.
(Personall i think mine need thick glasses as they can't see much)

I remember admin saying that you cannot do that without being penalised. He said it in a topic when someone reported that they did it by accident and since he reported it he wasn't penalised.

and admin could just add a line in programming to void MS ability to find planets if user has 10 already..
IF planet count = 10 , MS finds planet
THEN planet is returned in planet pool
yes i only know basic.. sort of
$query = "SELECT * FROM `planets` WHERE `playerid` = 'yourid';";
$query = mysql_query($query) or logout();
$count = mysql_num_rows($query);
if($count == 9 and $mothership == 'looking for planet'){
$marketoptions = 'option list without make planet button';
}else{
$marketoptions = 'option list with make planet button';

Re: Weird Duel + No stat planet
I have a duel planet? Oh yeah? Why wasn't i informed of this?
No. I don't have weird duel planets. I have 10 planets, and there are only 9 on my stats page.
Name Size Type
Technoviking ??? ???
how far would you go ??? ???
Lights returned ??? ???
the one and only syrus ??? ???
to get what you desire ??? ???
succeed or die trying ??? ???
;x ??? ???
sweet dreams are made of these ??? ???
stands in my way
I put one planet on mpdsd and maybe it makes things screwy when you spy on me. Look @ my stats page tomorrow when its off mpdsd and im on ppt. THen ill have 10 and my 10th will be named aftermath.
And stands in my way DOES have stats. Its a up planet, if it had no stats what sense would their be in putting 30bil def on it?
Next time, just ask me, tell marmott the same goes for him
