"Merry Gunbound" Event discussion.

[SLdK]

Same here, I've had like 1 out of ten

[MaNdubOy]

thats been happening to me too.  I then tried it on my other account and the occurence rate went up.  Could it be that if you already have the "right" ticket number, that the occurences will lower itself?  Probably not right?

[qwazi]

Completely random.

[ErrorSol]

what the fuck. I just had 17 tickets, then bought for 4 more, now I got 27 tickets O.o what the bloody shit?

[kiwibonga]

report him to dovo, He'll be smited fer sure

the guys a power user I believe, so small chance of him getting banned ;x

However, as i told before people with powercard tend to whine and make fuss about the banning. But starting from now, we have fortified our rules against the botters. They will receive more harsh punishment.

He says he doesnt care about power users whining because they wasted a few of their bucks on a phoenix and power cards so they can get more gp botting. kudos to dovo to sticking it to them.

Look at the top 200 ranks. And then say to my face that they're making their punishment harder. I will attempt not to laugh. Or cry.

BACK ON TOPIC:

What the fuck is with the event backgrounds? Theyre almost as blinding as the world cup backgrounds... wel maybe not, But the nak in the center is creepy.

A funny picture of the nak eating one of my friends,

bg off > all

i doubt the botters will be punish or punish harshly enuf

[CommunistBus]

I have found it a bit hard to see the arrow on the wind indicator with this BG. I turned it off though. Problem solved. (I like to play bg on. It helps me to judge distances and such)

[LordMerqury]

I had been playing bg off until this afternoon, when i turned it on and i was shocked. everyone was all "What, you havent been in an event yet?"

:>

As far as I am concerned all penalties are not harsh enough for the botters.  The only penalty that is fitting is to delete them, or reset their account to 0gp (although this would still leave them with their cheated gold and avatar items).  I know of one player that has 3 accounts in the top 100 (one is a dragon), and he uses the same dummy bot account for all his accounts.  This dummy account has -185020gp.  Don't believe me?  Look up the name sunshinegrl.

Now remeber for each -1gp this dummy account has, that means +3gp for his other accounts.  This means that pretty much 99% of this guys gp is done through botting.  And he isn't the only one.  Delete their account, or reduce their gp to 0, thats the only fitting penalty.  Besides, in the so called GIS rules, it states that players are supposed to be penalised 120% of ther cheated gp.  Yeah right.

[Monkey Fat]

I have around 40 right now and im aiming for 200 by the end of it.   50 for clown, 50 for bear. :

Oh hell, I just lost 2 raffle tickets. I'd start my story-telling session now.

Aight, I got bored of playing, so I thought I'd buy some raffle tickets first. I went to the event page logged in and saw that I have 35 points. Aight, what the heck, I bought 5 "Phoenix & Gold" raffle tickets, I actually copied down all the raffle ticket's "numbers" to notepad.

But when I bought the 5th ticket, something wierd happended. The ticket "number" kept on changing and changing. I waited until it stopped and once again copied down the "numbers". Now I'm left with 5 wish points. I thought I'd recheck, and HUH? There's only 4 tickets listed! I mailed an query to the customer service, hoping they would look in to it :rolleyes:

Now, screw that. I went to buy more raffle tickets. 5 wish points left, bleh, I'd buy 5 tickets of the background set. Who knows, the same thing happended! At the 5th ticket, the ticket "number" kept on changing again. This time, I thought, rather than waiting it to stop, I'd click "OK" first. After that, I checked again, whalla! 4 tickets rather than 5 AGAIN.

I guess I'm having a really bad day :<_<: I could win someone few rounds straight, but once it's an event game, I lose :-_-:

Some of you might think I shouldn't whine over just 2 damn tickets, but.. Bleh, I'm bored :<_<: And I don't want it to happen again if I buy another 5 tickets :-_-:

Anyone got the same encounter? Or does GB really hates me?

:mellow: Peace :mellow:
