Is this real? Gigantic amount of money introduced ing

Sazuke · Sep 23rd 2016, 4:31am

Two to three days ago, there was Sidezz with 7 million and Rocket with 3 million, both were 1st and 2nd Place on the Wealthiest Players list.
In a few hours space, someone got one billion and four hundred millions. Others got more than 100 million...
I mean, "i'll have what he's having" comes to mind, since this renders Planting or Printing completly useless.

I'll check the logs of the Top 2 ID's there and see what I can find.

The fifth one was also not there yesterday. 1., 2., 3. and 5., the rest was already there.
Thank you.

Actually after looking at a few names this kinda looks like what happened in the past. (Older Admins will remember when my bank suddenly had grown by 10x over night)

Checking Logs.

If this is not a bug or something and is in fact one more case of admin abuse, no point in playing the game anymore I guess.

I think it's also worth mentioning that the first one of was at 1.400 millions and after the talk ensued on the game it went down to 1.350 millions. Which means the player, maybe thinking the bug would go away, bought 50 millions worth of items/house immediately.

Hold on tight there - It's looking like a bug.

I'll leave this at - Logs have shown something and now I'm off to the Admin Section to speak with the others.

Thank you for pointing this out. Thread is open but consider it locked on this Topic.

That's why I said "if this is not a bug", the first thing that came to my mind was bug, sure. I'm just stating the possibilities here. Let us hope it's just a bug.

Its really simple to find if it's admin abuse. This situation is probably a bug that was abused and not reported. Highly doubt the players that have that money got outside help for it, especially since it's a fast trip to demotion.

Apparently it was just that, an exploited bug. But Witwicky gave a bunch of it all away and now it's a game of "follow the Money" to see who got it too.

Just an Update for the players. I'll be correcting things as best I can.

The various Money increases to players are from a Bug that occurred. A player got 1.1B from said bug and the Cop that arrested him got 76M. The rest of the cash increases are from the 1.1B being given out and squandered all over.

He also bought the church, then sold it to buy the grave. So the church now has 350 locks and the grave is his, with 200 locks. He probably bought it to then resell it for 8m after the dust settled.

Still investigating, this will take time for everything.

I didn't even know I was on it

This has been cleared up as of late Saturday night.

(This does not include the new stuff that apparently went down yesterday)
