Popular Post Kasikil Posted March 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have a suggestion that would be a very minor change in the code but would produce far reaching results. I believe the "Create Offer" trade screen should be modified so the default resource type selected will be blank and produce an error if a user attempts to submit a trade without selecting a resource first. Â This will prevent users from accidentally creating erroneous trade offers for food when they forget to change the default unit. I know this issue is not isolated to only me and does happen to most active traders more than we would like. I have included the graphic below to emphasize my point: Â Â I would suggest the resource drop-down list have a null option when originally generated. Â Thank you all very much for your time and consideration on this issue. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 If they accidentally make an offer on resources they dont want to buy or sell, they can just cancel the offer.

Kasikil Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I see you haven't met Kosonome yet Exactly. I tried to cancel an offer today and it was gone before I could manage to navigate to the "My Trades" page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Exactly. I tried to cancel an offer today and it was gone before I could manage to navigate to the "My Trades" page.

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yarr nation be 9 days old, matey, how do ye harbor such exact percentages for how often thar be this player mistake. Unless ye be a multi. Eh regardless, atleast I'm in the top 1% now \o/ Because it rarely ever happened in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), and most likely doesn't happen here either Quote "There's nothing you can know that isn't known,Nothing you can see that isn't shown,There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, All you need is love,Love is all you need."

hadesflames Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 try it yourself, put an offer for one ton of food buying for 1 million, and then try and navigate the menus to retract your offer before someone snaps it up. Go on, I dare you. Â Don't bother, this moron's never going to put his money where his mouth is. Assuming he even has $1m. I'm actually considering copying TKR's bot here so I can distribute it out to every alliance for free. Make the issue compound and then maybe Alex will be forced to fix it lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 You're about the same level of sneakiness as Patrick Higgins was I was told his multi was caught instantly, so I doubt he's anymore sneakier than me Quote "There's nothing you can know that isn't known,Nothing you can see that isn't shown,There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, All you need is love,Love is all you need."

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I live in LordaeronLand Earth is overrated tbqh It's just a facism ball of communist ideas Indeed.

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Stop eating chickens Oh do not fret my friend, we were able to harness the sun's dangerous UV rays to convert them into perfect food for our crops. Yes we do eat meat, but such meats like chicken are processed, so it's not actually real chicken.

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) be a vegetarian It is not real meat, your highness, it is simply artificial meat, made from the excretions of our local cat population. Because of this, I myself am a vegetarian. In other words, meat = cat shit Edited March 16, 2017 by Catsby Quote "There's nothing you can know that isn't known,Nothing you can see that isn't shown,There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be, All you need is love,Love is all you need."

Patty Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 No more chicken consuming I most certainly agree, we shall instead transfer over to meats such as cows and pigs.

WISD0MTREE Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 That is 99% unlikely of ever happening How lucky of you then The oft-cited 90% background check 99% unintentional trade figure is for the idea of universal background checks/a background check for all gun sales people who use the trade bots to keep them active. No poll has shown 90% 99% support opposition for a specific implementation of background checks anti-bot methods (two examples being the Coburn Kasikil proposal and the Manchin-Toomey Gabranth-Zeebrus bill). Thus, saying that pushers of either bill having 90% support opposition for their respective bill are a flat-out lie. This explains why a few politicians oppose the idea of universal background checks anti-trade bot methods themselves but did not vote for support other bills as they did not like its contents/methods of implementation (such as Democrat Heidi Heitcamp Catsby). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasikil Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Please return this thread to the original topic. Which is a good idea imo. Thank you. I feel like it is a good idea as well. Since I originally made this post I have heard many more stories of people accidentally creating food trade offers and either losing a lot of money or having to coordinate with the person who accepted to reverse this trade deal. It is a very common problem and I know someone who has made this mistake in the three days since I originally posted the topic. Further support for this change would be appreciated as will on topic discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeMilton Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Grabbing error trades happens constantly even if you're not using a script to scan for it. A more useful thing would be to add another 9 to the maximum quantity possible to trade in one offer. Having to make four identical offers for food, for example, is incredibly tedious.
