Ok...simple question, and this may come down to my just not knowing...and if so I apologise

40mil uu player yesterday over 400mil today with 392mil miners!

it was my understanding you cannot raid past 340mil so unless he has a 50mil a day UP is the only other way to have done this through spending crap loads of $ on the ingame market?

Was he ascending by any chance?

Few times someone went offline holding one of my uu brokers and took a while for it to be rejected.

So he has 1 person broker 200mill UU,

Someone else sends 200mill UU direct, then he accepts broker.

or

Someone brokers him 200mill UU,

Someone else lets him raid 200mill UU, then he accepts broker.

i thought like AT's once they are on the broker they are counted as yours already

as far as I knew it was like that, everything in brokers gets counted against you.

And also from my understanding, it wont let you raid UU if you have UU in a broker


BUT I can not confirm this.

This is an odd one. But have you asked the player to find out what happened?

If someone brokers you up to trade cap and it is not accepted when someone tries to directly send you uu then it won't work, as said before it works in the same way as ATs.

Raid cap is at 341m, therefore if he did trade and raid then he'd be around the 341m mark?

My understanding is that when you reach the trade cap you cannot buy UU via ingame black market ($$).

I think if you are below the limit, you can make 1 trade that will put you over the limit, but just 1 trade.

340mill UU then buying $50 worth of miners on market puts you at 370m...

(Current prices are 600,000 per $1, max trade is $50)

That is 22m UU that can't be explained. Unless the miners per $1 were at 1,025,000.. sometime in the last 24 hours (51,250,000 + 341,000,000 = 392,250,000) I don't see how it is possible.


*Correct me if I am wrong..*

The only other possibility is that renegadze memory has failed him?

Maybe mistaking 400m the first time for 40m? That's only a thought because everything here is based on assumptions because no-one knows what happend or what the situation was.

I believe you also still get the UU if you buy the SS packages. So maybe he bought miners then bought a USS?

USS are limited to 2 per week as they give you a ppt. You cannot buy 6 at once.
