-156 activity!?

got a member of my company who is showing at -156 days inactive even though they logged in 14 hours ago.

any idea why this has happened? Have they got Covid 19?

Just means all they are doing is logging in, they aren't using energy, they aren't using nerve, they are just logging in. They made a change a while ago that changed what it means to be active.

looks like someone is gonna get kicked then sadly.
they have got great work stats if they turned up

Perhaps speak with them and ask nicely? Well of course unless they're a bot

yeah dropped them a message asking them to do a little bit daily in game to bring their stats back in line.

I have spoken to the person involved and they have said they are playing the game as they normally do on their phone and that this happened a couple of times in the past for no reason and that they have been sacked from previous jobs because if it.

I have asked them to contact Bogie to see if he can shed some light on why this is happening to them.

lol I thought this was a thing on the graph thing about player activity (which is mostly in the millions)

oh well

It'd be actually interesting to test a theory.

Let him do ANY captcha, and see if it works (Wait 1 day though, just so it can update).

If not then yeah the theory people mostly have is dead

My settled in dropped to +3 out of the blue yesterday. Today it's back at +10.

I started stacking about 2 days ago and didn't use energy on anything, still did crimes and races...

Yesterday I spent energy in gym.

With company timer running 18 hours behind, timing for activity kind of makes sense.

I am curious if it's related to energy spent / capcha.
We've got the Halloween event soon, let's see what happens then. There will be lots of people stacking for it and won't be spending energy in the gyms.

Speculating.. If that's the case than inactivity timer would have to be changed from 1 day to 3 days to be fair to everyone...

Let's wait and see what happens in a week's time...

Deffo not e spent.

I tend to still stack e for happy jumps. No inactivity there.

I don't know :(

The other thing I can think of...
I use the app, kiwi browser and Firefox on my phone,
Firefox on my pc.
I think I spent more time on my pc 2-3 days ago.
I also suspect that is one of the ways they multi hunt...
( ie.. If browser id has been same for over 7 days than probably of being a multi is higher)

Actually yes, the system is exactly how they multi hunt.

Most multi companies died really fast and it was then obvious is someone was a multi.

But if you suspect that your settled in bonus reducing is a bug then please send it into Bugs and Issues.

It only happened once and I can't remember exactly what I was doing differently :(

you should report them. that is odd behaviour

I'm betting they lied to you (or it hasn't updated at new company day yet)

I recentlly had an employee at like -132 effectiveness when he joined. I told him to train and do some crimes, he was perfect on the next company day run.

(You do have to wait for the next 18:00 update for both the green and red modifiers to change)


EDIT:
Yup

Wait until tomorrow @ 18:xx and it should change if he confirmed to have trained/crimes.

Player was back upto normal stats and lightning bolts today!!
something weird going on for sure.

I'm having the same issue, a player's inactivity dropped to -90 suddenly.

They have to actually play the game. If they do nothing more than log in they don't count as being active
