Its indeed exploiting again, because everyone knows that they should wait 1 days after ppt to go on vacation. So I guess a similar punishment would be in order. Just in this case not the nox was abused, so it could be either no vacation for a month or no ppt... or 1 ppt only... its up to admin...
I will add this topic to the list.
From now on please only post IDs and times to check out.
No flaming, no spam...

That IS adding to the conversation.
Oh... not that part. That got to stay because your right it was adding to the convo.
As for that being an actual exploit...it's not. Forum built in specific game mechanics for just that very situation... so its not a bug and its not an exploit. If however you could go on vacation mode in ascension and Forum had not built anything in to the game for this and you just kept your whole ascension bonus, AND if this was unintended to happen by Forum this would be an exploit.

Lets all keep this cival, simply admin need to verify that players are doing this or not.
Others we have seen in the open for a day before going on Vacation (such as ETL.) So no not everyone on or had been on Vacation is exploiting this.
Mojo Rising appears just went on durring Easter Sunday. And I would not presume knew about it.
But if others are jumping from PPT to Vacation reguarlly that is exploitation. Give Admin time to verify.

YES OR NO?

setting an example for us all to follow oh *modding* yeah! (now is that ok or not, im not sure but you sure seem to think its okay with your use of *modding* so frequently)

Ok guys thats it. This has been reported. I am PM'ing Admin to make sure he sees this threat.
No need to fight about it any more. No need to have this post open any more, since no one can stay on topic and people want to talk about OTHER types of exploits in this thread.
This thread was to report an exploit about being able to go on Vacation mode to soon. Thats it. It has been copied over to the bug section also. This exploit, used knowingly or not has been reported. Now its over for us and up to Admin to figure out what happens to him.
I am locking this. If you have a good reason this should be reopened... PM me or Bazsy.

I never stated nor feel that Mojo Rising has cheated!!
I do not belive he explotied a bug!!
He went on Vacation durring Easter Sunday, probably with no knowledge of when he came off PPT.
I personally saved a PPT for Easter in case Forum did not give everyone the day off like he had once in the past.
Some may have interpreted my post as saying such against MojoRising.
I am sorry if they did.
I do feel others may be exploiting though and gave an example, if there is a bug.
Thank You,
Don

Also its listed on the all new cheaters list. So the Admin (Mark) will check it out even if it goes to 2nd page or something.
Also I listed it at current bugs with an edited bug report at the other section.
So Jason will no about that too...
The LOCK was in order and the topic will remain LOCKED.
And next time everyone should think before flaming in this section....
PS: Good work Alabrax... Also I corrected my name (You wrote Baszy...) LOL:)
