Re: Mercs Bug

Re: Mercs Bug

In the case of UU -> rounding issue (corrects if you reload the page or if you check your income).

In the case of Mercs -> timing issue (2 or more people buying at the exact same microsecond).

Re: Mercs Bug

Well the probability of that is close to imposible but still lets hope that's the case... Would suck if some1 discovered a glich at mercs and exploits it ](*,)

No, it is actually quite probable if only enough people try to buy at TC.
Which is happening right now.. considering how many people are sitting at TC, trying to get their batch of mercs.

Re: Mercs Bug

You can blame Mayhem and TA who are racing eachother for those mercs each turn change...

We generally have five or six people gunning for them each turn...

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

Re: Mercs Bug

You have 4 big alliances going for them as well as a Loki.

TAF, mH, FS, DDE
Lets say 6 for each (Plus a Loki) so thats 25 people buying mercs at TC, as soon as any clock they may have hits 35 past they'll start trying to buy
