Ok so this guy: http://www.stargatewars.com/stats.php?id=21883 is blantantly going around the turn limit. I spied on him tuesday night and he had 10,008 turns. Then I spied on him wed afternoon and he had 14,415 turns.
I've been told that this is done via shipping all turns off and accepting brokers, blah, blah, blah. I really don't care how it's done, it's a bug and shouldn't be allowed to happen. If anyone from staff needs I can send the intel logs I have showing all the stats and stuff, I just can't post em here
if you want...........i can give a list of ALPHA players that were abusing having more then 10k turns since i had all there stats before yesterday.....
i think i will just send forum a list of those players why not
i do believe, that saying alot of people do it is not an excuse
so if it is abuse......i will let forum look at all my intel logs that show it
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil,
is good men do nothing.
*Much props to greenman for my wicked new sig, thanks G oh yeaaaaaaaaah! *
hehe, please keep the current war-anger out of it.
regardless to the fact that some alphas might have had more then 10K turns - it was about time someone bring it up and its about time admins make a decision, if its officially tolerated or not. And i dont mind if some alphas get banned for having more then 10K -i warned em some time before not to exploid this bug!

STON ....I agree with you
so id like gamemod or forum or someone to let us know if it is abuse or not....

now whereas this is cheating or not is not my place to decide, I'm merely pointing out a bug I've become aware of as is the point of this section. and as Ston said if alphas are guilty of this then they should have known better.
I know people who have not used the bug and ended up with more then 10k turns when they bought off the market.
Some things deserve banning, others do not. I have covert reports of several CFE members who had more the 10k turns on them. But seeing them banned over it is stupid.

I shall point out some players who have their armies way over limit of 50,000,000 UU.
Oh and it happened to me a few times that I had 5500 turns and bought 5000 on market and so landed on 10000. I dont think its a bug, as buying 8000+5000 never works. Perhaps just a legal percentage thats allowed.
Oh and I know many people that use so named broker trick.
I'll report an accidental bug that a friend told me about, I told her to report it to the Bugs section, but seeing it's not here, she's not a regular forum user and she's on a pseudo-holiday, I'll report it for her.
She managed to get herself 20K+ turns accidentally, and I do mean accidentally.
Hours after the market was injected with a huge amount of turns, she opened two windows: One for the bank and one for the market. She clicked the button for withdraw, then clicked "Do The Trade!" in the market. Both windows came up white and didn't refresh. Worried and panicking, she refreshed both windows several times, close down the browser and tried with a different browser. At my suggestion, she shut down her firewall and tried again to find that she has 20K+ turns with her. She calculated the amount naq in her bank and amount of turns bought and came up with the correct amount, so I'm assuming she refreshed both windows equally, making her withdraw the same amount of naqs each time and traded the same amount of turns each time. At that time, it didn't occur to me to ask how many MTs were used in the end, though.

If it is cheating then ostracize just about every big raider in the game.
The 10 k limit prevents you from getting more than 40 k turns....and I think that was the main point of it...so that 2-3 people with super incomes can't buy every turn on the market and control prices.
As it is now their are many sellers, so it accomplished its goal.
