Possible Communist hacking afoot

[Bluebear]

Earlier tonight, Ripper beiged a nation from the Socialist International, and received the following loot from their bank: Additionally, you have looted 0.84% of your opponent's alliance bank, taking: $34,495,581, 140 Coal, 982 Oil, 73 Uranium, 450 Iron, 34 Bauxite, 219 Lead, 1,869 Gasoline, 5,797 Munitions, 867 Steel, 2,818 Aluminum, and 4,858 Food. (this can be verified here: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=59307&display=bank) 35 million dollars was only .84% of the cash in their bank, meaning that they had approximately $4.1 billion in their bank. Hmm I thought, those communists certainly are rich, but I didn't think any more of it.

 

An hour or so later, I receive a message from another member of Arrgh, telling me he had hit the jackpot! He had beiged a nation from the Global Communist Bloc, and got the following bank loot: Additionally, you have looted 0.09% of your opponent's alliance bank, taking: $103,309,946, 1,518 Coal, 776 Oil, 1,038 Uranium, 1,049 Iron, 246 Bauxite, 803 Lead, 4,465 Gasoline, 3,850 Munitions, 6,340 Steel, 2,226 Aluminum, and 37,689 Food. (https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=58691&display=bank) .09% of the GCB bank was 103 million dollars, which means their entire bank contains approximately 114 BILLION DOLLARS. This is not a simple case of rich communists. 

 

Whether this is a classic case of communist chicanery or a simple glitch, I do not know, but it should certainly be investigated posthaste.

That's why you need pirates people. Someone has to investigate the banks of the other alliances.

 

Edit: It looks like there must be a glitch in the loots given to all beiged wars, starting from today. Another member of Arrgh beiged a member of another alliance, The United Empire of ZahAharon Bank, and got too much loot: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=63972&display=bank

 

If other raiders from other alliances (do they even exist?) have some similar reports, please provide more evidence here.

I can confirm this. One of ours got raided and bieged today by a guy from IR.

 

04/05/2017 06:44 am Order of the White Rose Bank Zanzibar Territory Siminia $17,170,601.00 10,164.00 122.00 20.00 346.00 30.00 31.00 23.00 1,829.00 4,268.00 5,584.00 2,585.00

 

The report shows he captured 0.05% of our bank. And I assure you, that is not 0.05%, but dozens and dozens time more.

 

Since this seems widespread we urge Alex to see what's wrong and correct this. And recuperate the alliances in question.

 

Thanks.

[Ripper]

I think that Alex just tries to support raiding for once.

 

If there are so many different alliances with this problem, then certainly it's a glitch.

Unfortunately that ain't .03% of our bank.

... instead of the pirate policy giving him a 40% loot bonus... it made him take 40% of the bank.

I can confirm that this is true.

[Lail Das]

That was NOT 0.04% of our bank.

@Alex, did you change something yesterday to solve this? https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18880-pirate-moneybags-glitch/

 

You may have changed something for the pirate Policy that you shouldn't in the process.

[Buorhann]

There's something going on with bank looting.  The amount is drastically higher than it should be.

It's almost like it's a busted ass mechanic that has done nothing good for the game.

[Victorious!]

I can confirm that this is true.

I can confirm this too. Half of our alliance bank money was stolen, we have pics to prove it.

[Alex]

Yes, I inadvertently created this bug yesterday, my apologies. If you'd like to be compensated for any loss, shoot me a PM with the relevant transaction, and I'll get to it. Bug should be fixed now.

What a time to be alive!
