bad idea

ah not saying ban em all. jsut anounce its considered as bug exploting and future violaters will be punished. this will also fix the middlemen broker problem i guess.

or jsut build a script that deletes alls tuff above the caps. (make sure to warn ppl before so they can transfer the units +50mil to me

)

so wot happens if the market some how magically inflates and you can get 1500 turns per multiple and i do a 5 multiple trade = 7500 turns and i already have 4k saved up from normal growth...

do i see a new wave of ostracism in the air?

[sarcasm]
may aswell then call it

OstracismWars - The fight for galactic peace?

Aims: generate 4k turns, and buy another 6001 to find eternal ostracism or buy total of 10001 turns or more to reach ostracism where you just sit back and let your account do nothing
[/sarcasm]

point is its a bad idea, how is it affecting you if some players can hold more than 10k turns.
this has been going on for months and no one else seems to had a problem with it...

why was this not mentioned when Forum made the turns/broker update.

Seems i better get rid of my turns before i get punished...

i don't mean to offend you btw

This isn't a thread for comments, this is a thread where I posted a bug that I became aware of, which was just a few days ago as I said in my first post. If you knew about this bug and yet said nothing about it what does that say about you??? Where's your integrity? To post a mocking message that offers nothing other than your disdain for someone pointing out a problem in the system does not speak highly of you in my eyes.

Now I'm not advocating that anyone be banned for abusing this bug lets be clear about that. I personally hate the 10k limit as I'm a big time farmer/raider and it makes it such a pain to have to keep getting more turns everyday. However there is a 10k turn limit and so everyday I must make 2 or 3 trades to accquire the turns I need. It would be so much simplier if I could hold more than 10k.

If forum wants to raise the limit, I'm all for that. But if he wants to put the limit at 10k, as much as I don't LIKE that, I will RESPECT that and abide by the rules. Unfortunately not everyone does (as you've oh so eloquently pointed out ((and yes that was sarcasim)) in your post) and I've become aware of a way in which people have been "getting around" said turn limit so I posted about it in order to bring it to forum's attention so that he can do something about it. I'm not for punishment of those who've broken the rule I just want it fixed so that those of us who don't abuse it can stop being punished as well by having to follow a rule that no one else seems to.

do you not understand the words "I've just become aware of"??? I didn't see the other post, I wasn't looking for the other post. I discovered that there is a bug in the system that allows you to get/hold more turns than the limit that is established by the game's designer/owner and so I used this the appropriate section to post about said bug.

if you've nothing constructive to add about this bug then post somewhere else as that is the purpose of other threads and is not the purpose of this one.

can a mod please lock this thread? I'm not after whether people think this is a good bug or if they agree with it or not, I'm simply pointing it out as is the duty of all SGW players. thank you.

To my knowledge the 'limit' is only effective upon the broker. I just means that when you hit 50 mil units you can no longer use the broker to get more units. You can still get more units from UP and raiding though I think.

[SGC_ReplicÅtors] · Sat Jul 15, 2006 6:33 pm

ok u want to know how to do it>?
EVERYBODY knows

make sure u have zero Turns on hand and Zero trades going in the broker

First u get 3x 10k Turns via broker IN THE BROKER

then get some1 to send u 10k Turns via Trade functions so tat means u have 10k on hand and 3x 10k broker now go to broker and click accept...

....since ppl complained about attack limits and yet they break other limits?

Maleki · Sat Jul 15, 2006 8:30 pm

no offense SGC, but I don't want to know how to get around the limit I want the loophole that allows people to get around the limit taken away.

if forum wants a turn limit fine I accept that, just make it so everyone HAS to obey it not CHOOSE to obey it is my point.

I have to say that the limit was put in mostly to prevent people from mass buying turns from the in-game market, by doing such kinda controlling the rates.. It has pretty much succeeded doing that..

Mix · Sun Jul 16, 2006 1:02 am

maybe he left it like that for a reason...

the main point of it was to stop people having more than 50k+ turns in their a/c at one time since their were a few who even had 300k if i remember correctly and he has suceeded in implementing that...

Legoless · Sun Jul 16, 2006 2:29 am

The UU limit is exactly same to turn limit. Only yes, UP and raiding will still increase count. But it is there to stop people with ultra-high armies from mass buying more UU. Direct transfer also doesn't work.

slicky · Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:43 am

What is the problem with people having more than 10k turns, hey most of the time i have 20k plus. The absolute limit is 40-50k turns that is the most anyone can have in their account, i would suggest if you see anyone over this limit then you should report a bug, if not then shhhhh!!! everyone double brokers to get more stuff in their account, and if you don't well thats just your problem.

Maleki · Mon Jul 17, 2006 7:28 am

no I will not shhsh. no everyone does not have more than 10k turns, your making an assumption, a wide sweeping generalization. the problem with which is not everyone is general. each person is unique, in their thoughts, and mannerisms.

there is a set limit, and that limit is 10k. if you use/play this game that is suppose to be the max number of turns one can have. I've already established that I don't like that limit, I'd rather see it rasied to 20-30k but that's another topic for another day. however even though there is a limit you can still get/hold more than that and that should not be allowed.

if you don't like that limit I suggest you make a post about it in the suggestions forum, but do not tell me to keep quite. I'm using this section for it's purpose if you don't like that tough.
