I personally welcome the loitering pages, as it can often double a person is out in the open with a lot of money. I have just recently had some very nicely paying attacks and I believe loitering could well have paid a part in my opportunism.

So you had better be fast, I'm prowling those attack pages ;)

i dont understand wath hapend to u...i trid the same proces 2 and worked perfecly for me....*confused*

programingly speking this cant hapen....only if the time wen u hit the training buton(form the bank) to the time u hit the upgread buton is longer than 1 minut...but this woud be fixed if the period of ideal alowed is enlarged....but this will make things just as they war befor.......


about the naq being out on the open...well lets be real...i wass on the open with a couple tents of mil for 5 min and nowan attackt me.....so the chanse is verry small to be attackd....it takes the attacker 3 pages to loat to attack u(the batelfield,your stas,the attack page,and then a bit time to write 15 turns and hit attack.....)....and even if u get the error u are faster then him...u need to load(bank with the result...training and hit upgread buton(get the error),and hit again.....so its echuel pages lodet and u have the advantege of having the time wen the attacker writes the turns.....so its quite imposible to chach someone who removes naq from the bank to upgread somenting.....i meen realy...war u ever attackd wen u had nothing on u and withdrow the naq and wanted to train....?


Absolute rubbish - Salvo's point is fair and just! yet again forgive_me cannot accept anyone else points if they are not particularly his/her point of view. You always jump to conclusions - i.e. saying Salvo used more than one browser. Why do you always have to argue against what people have said have happened - why would Salvo make it up??

To back Salvo up - the same thinghappened to me on the training page - at exactly the same time 15000 Naq (part of what I had just withdrawn to do training) just vanished. I checked my logs - nothing.

if there is a problem i'll fix it, but i do not believe there is...


One thing that I used to do at the bank which is considered "hang out" like your script says forum, was to calculate how much money to take out of the bank.

For example, I would go to my alpha site see, that I would have lets say, 554 965$ in bank, and I would need a weapons upgrade and wanted the weapons priced at 167 800$. Now, since I pay to deposite money in, I do not want to take all my money out of the bank for :

1- risking of getting attack when trying to figure out how many men I could buy
2- taking all my money out to then have to redeposit the excess money in the bank, which would cost me like double the charges

So I go to the bank, calculate how much of that weapon/men I could buy with the amount I have in, then simply take out my maximum amount without any excess.

So for my example writen above, I would be able to purchase 3.3 of the top weapons, so I would only take out enough for 3 weapons for a total of 503 400$ the transaction to withdraw. So I can keep the rest in bank and then go directly to the Armory knowing exactly how many weapons I can buy with "fu#$ing around" and risking to be attacked .[/quote]

I have to agree with you on that. I have been trying to train 30 attack soldiers for the past 35 minutes and that damn loitering script kept on pop-ing up.

When it takes minutes to load a page, we don't have only that to do, work on something else while it loads, browse something, sh|t, people might be spanking the monkey for all that I know.

When you remember that you were loading that page, or go back to that window, it's either still loading or loaded, so you input your amount desired and pow 10 minutes later, you get that loitering slap in the face and for a lot of people, you notice that you got naq stolen which really sucks when that happens.

That's my two cents.
