They should but they won't.

Needless to say you should have refunded the money and let us buy them over again. Bait and switch dude.

By the way until they kill the +1500 I am the second most powerful in the game next to podcasting. Both of us have played the game without cheating at all and spending a ton of time doing so.

I have 2893 Spymasters which is the most of anyone in the game. I don't know if you understand how difficult that is.

If you ban all of Ucanna's accounts that amount might fall by an unknown significant amount - I think he may have 10,000.

I don't mind personal attacks - but ok.

I come here because sometimes things get so messed up and the fixes I hear make my hair stand up. I think I've made myself clear on which fixes will work and which will cause the game to end. – Scott, on October 19, 2009 05:31

Are you kidding? I never stop complaining. You must not read the boards when stuff happens in the game.

As far as this being a benefit to me I moved from the 6th most powerful player to the 3rd. That's really not a big deal. – Scott, on October 19, 2009 02:39

Essze, you're one of my favorite players! Now even more! – Scott, on October 19, 2009 02:37

Keith out of all of the people who play this game I have played by the rules. I have not cheated or broken the game at all. If you had a clue about your long term players like me you'd know that I play the game honestly. I had nothing to do with any of the cheating that went on in the very least.

The fact that you allow Ucanna and his alts still to play this game after he has broken the game says more about your lack of understanding about who broke the game and how to handle it.

Am I being too rude to you? Should I kiss ass and play nice? Why? I spend a good amount of time playing the game and helping people and even bringing people into the game. Sure you left money in my account but that came from one of UCanna's alts the night they gave everyone trillions. I fully expected you to take the billions out of everyones accounts after that... why didn't you? Why havent you banned the people who created this mess? Why do you make simple mistakes and ignore valuable suggestions?

Were you unable to roll the game back 24 hours to fix the problem and run a script to find and get rid of the money? That's what those of us in the internet business thought you would do. Why wasn't it done? Do you think that players who are also like you in the internet business havent been throwing these suggestions to you since it happened. Why havent you responded or taken some?

I am not being rude I am being honest and you just don't like it.

If you treat your other projects as well as this one then your company is in a load of trouble.

Your welcome to ban me for speaking my mind. It would be ironic since you don't ban the people who break your game.

Isn't this game called Spymaster? Isn't the objective to get as many as possible to be the best in the game?

Then you went and created all the Elite Levels so people would pay to level. Sure it was your business model to make cash but it was never part of the original intent of the game.

Now in my opinion the ones who have worked their asses off like me to get Spymasters have been rewarded. After you made this change I spent a ton of hours adding even more spymasters.

Also how could the +1500 be an oversight? I mean how simple is it to put in a number and review it. Are you guys that incompetent? I spent a ton of hours and money on this new addition and you say it was a mistake? After you guys adding NOTHING to the game for this long how could such a stupid ass mistake have occurred.

If you look at my start date I have been playing this game longer than 99% of the people here. I am only E2 which was my choice - most of the people who are E5 took advantage of the Merge bug - but you don't even discuss fixing that.

+1500 for the Helicopter is fine - but your mistake was that and let me repeat it because you guys have said it many time "the money situation will work itself out - if you dont want the money buy and sell supercars until it's gone"

Podcasting made a suggestion long ago that would have fixed the money issue which was creating cell banks. I would have put most of my money into it as well as most of the other players with alot of money. But instead you sat on your hands and we had nothing to do with the money - it just sat there.

I would have sent it by transfer to people who needed it but you couldnt take the time to up the limit on transfers.

I am being very honest here because I am sick of the way this game has been run. I think a bunch of monkeys sitting at typewriters could have done a better job in the last month. And I am pretty sure if we trained a monkey to enter +1000 instead of +1500 they would have not made the mistake.

Let me make myself clear just in case I'm not being so :)

1) If you restart the levels I quit. It's tedious and painful and it's no longer a fun thing to do. People HATE leveling.

2) If you do something to take away the effort I have made to add spymasters after your change that makes a significant difference in my game-play I quit. I spent at least 10 hours after this change - give me my 10 hours back.

3) Fine, change the Helicopters to +1000, doesn't matter because the people without the money will bitch and moan. Instead of taking the money away take Podcastings suggestion and let us put it in a cell bank. If you take away the power of the Helicopters and all of the money I have - I quit.

I cannot tell you how many friends I have that have been quitting on a daily basis anyway because the game has literally no meaning at this point. You've done nothing at all for a month. There have been many suggestions but obviously you don't care much about the game anymore.

I am sad it's come to this. I am afraid that Spymaster as a game has come to an end. It's a shame because I've made friends and have enjoyed it.

Sincerely,

icantseeyou

I have sooooo much disposable income to spend on points but nothing to spend it on. Oh well...

How about letting people keep their stuff when they go elite. It's such a pain just to go to 1-40 anyway....

It's not a small amount of people who merged - it's the majority of active players. Most are E5 right now and if you look around at many other players they have E2, E3, and E4 alt accounts they have been runnning up.

This is not a temporary thing - it's been going on under your noses for a very long time.

I appreciate that you are trying to fix things but lets be honest - I pointed this out a long time ago and nothing was done about it and everyone started to use the method. It's the rare person who did not use it - and the exception that didn't know how to use it.

Had you eliminated it a month ago we'd have a much more even play field. – Scott, on September 04, 2009 22:29

The fact that I posted this a month ago and was completely dismissed let to the mess we have now.

I tried to play the game by the rules but was unable to compete with people who used merging to get to E5.

Finally since it seems condoned to merge accounts I tried it (after you stopped it) and lost an entire account. So I've never merged using the bug and I am working my way up the slow way.

Keep in mind that by stopping merging now it's completely unfair to everyone else since there are E5's all over the place that used this method.

This isn't related to the events of using the merge button to click and click to wealth - only a few puma knew about that and we were completely unaware of what was going on until the started throwing money around.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that me along with a few other zone members have been posing about these things and have been ignored. Much of what you are tying to fix now could have been avoided had they not been slid under the table.

And by the way, the method of merging people were using was not easy at all - you still had to build 5 level 40 accounts. But it was more acceptable than losing everything in your main account.

Zombies actually prefer adults to babies so you don't need to worry about it :)

KEYSERS0ZE422 killed you.

He did it with a suicide. I havent been doing anything but tasking since yesterday and out of nowhere I'm dead.

PUMA broke the game yesterday and today they are making it unplayable.

Something needs to be done. Why do they have so many points to be able to suicide over and over.

It's time to start banning these people so we can get back to some normalcy. If you let them continue this people are going to quit.

Can you let us know when you're done? I'd personally like to know if this is how it will stay and if I should start playing.

Mobious, I don't think you cheated at all. You are a good player. – Scott, on September 01, 2009 04:31

Sab, that's full of it. POD took a long time to get to E5, and every bit of money he got was legit.

You know how he got it - by attacking low level PUMA who were holding tons of it. That's what everyone was doing because you guys were hiding it all over the place.

If blame is to be put on anyone here it's not POD it's you and PUMA.

I urge you to do what I suggested. It's not just my idea but a bunch of Zone members who were not involved in creating this problem.

1) Roll everyone back to where they were 24 to 36 hours ago.

2) Run a script and get rid of any absurd amounts of money.

3) Fix the merge bug (which if you didn't know was where they pressed merge a million times to get the money).

4) Fix the invulerability bug - some people cannot lose anything. It's been brought to your attention by multiple people and ignored.

I have to say that members of PUMA and Thundercats came into Zone HQ last night and starting sending money everywhere. I can assure you no one in Zone had anything to do with this bug. Podcasting and I (icantseeyou) have been scraping money together since the beginning and now it's gone. Should this stay the way it is, what's the incentive to play? – Scott, on September 01, 2009 03:02

You guys are going about this WRONG - this is what you should do.

1) Revert everything to 36 hours ago.

2) Run a script to get rid of the cash that was in hiding and get rid of it.

3) Then decide what else to change.
