Vault Withdrawals Print Money?! · · 4 likes

Here's what happened, and it's gotta be a bug, because I don't have any networth increasing events that could provide another explanation:

1. Landed in torn, game had been logged in the whole time.
2. no drug cooldown? cool. What's my cash on hand? Need a xanny. Oh, ok, $15,000 (thousand) torn dollars.
3. Go to properties/vault. Looks live got about 4.8 million in the vault, 15 thousand cash on hand.
Click on withdrawal input field, entered in 850k, thought about it, then used backspace to take out the 50, replaced it with 35,
input field does something very fast,
and
4. now, I've got 4.something MILLION cash on hand, and 4.something MILLION in my vault.

4.?
da f**? I think?

how did I just go from 4.9mil cash in both vault and on hand, to 8 mil?
5. look up, no events listed. so...not like someone bought something right as I was in my vault.
6. open new tab, search on duckduckgo.com for "torn bug report",
7. computer crashes
8. I write out all the steps that happened, so I can write this up after the laptop boots.
9. open tornstats, yep, still says I have 8mil in the vault.
10. open torn, notice I finally have a new event!...... someone hospd me. :/

So, this all took less than 30 minutes I'd wager. (I did go get a cigarette when my laptop crashed DURING a bugreport. Grrr...)
and the current time is 18:39, connected to server Pod1, though I don't know what I was connected to before.

There's no screenshot,

[image: i.imgur.com]
there's only "I have double what was in my vault, and there's no reason I should have this money,
edit:
look at the timestamps if you're staff. in 9 seconds, from the timestamp values listed above, I should have no events that increased or decreased my networth, and thus, my vault printed it's own money.

Please fix.

that's about it.

Thanks,

Vault Withdrawals Print Money?! · · 3 likes

um... (in a quite small voice) , uh,

Is it perhaps possible that I simply got paid from my company job?

: /

because, y'know, .... that happens right around 18:00 right? company pay?

I didn't think cron jobs added or subtracted 11 and a half minutes, and I was on my vault page for less than 11 minutes...

...but I also don't know how else to account for the *ahem*
fact that I didn't get any additional moneys today.

...and my daily company pay is 3.5 mil.. so....

I might've just ,.... ? gotten paid between 18:11:22 and 18:11:31 TCT , been in my vault page, and
really, really gotten confused by that.

... so, yeah. probably not bugswatter worthy, but definitely facepalm worthy, if I got it wrong.

Why does a game without ads use google and bing ? · · 4 likes

Google analytics ?
Tag manager ?
Bing ?

Hey so, why does this game utilize those services ?
There are no ads, yet it definitely feels like whatever bonus the lack
of external ads is supposed to offer the playerbase would be offset
if by playing torn, I now have to worry about trackers following me around on the internet.

Right now, my tracker blocker is sending do not track requests to
bat.bing.com
and
www.google-analytics.com

.... what are these used for ?

Can I opt out ?

bounties places, reason field empty, wondering why ·

yo I filled out the reason,
one by one, on someone,
sat back, and realized there were no reasons listed under the reason field on the bounty page.

If this has something to do with me being way too good at getting under the admittedly thin skin of a loser
,
then why even have the bounty system ?

There were no rules broken, no slurs or names called, so if a content warning was needed for the bounty's approval,
why wasn't it given? I would like my money back, or this changed so that a content warning appears when your reason
defies some rule that I'm unaware of having broken.screenshot

Torn emojis are racist pepe the frogs WTF · · 3 likes

just what it says.

Here's a link to the question that I asked repeatedly in the discord, which I know not everyone uses,
but there you go.

https://discord.com/channels/343057854078386177/443774570277765121/857331933784965152

You'll notice I added the pepe the frog hate symbol emojis to the post itself, to demonstrate that it's there.

Here's a link discussing why this stupid little cartoon is now used by Nazis and Klans-douches the world over.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1872645/cartoon-character-pepe-the-frog-is-officially-listed-a-hate-symbol-after-featuring-as-hitler-and-a-kkk-member-in-twisted-memes/

Why..... ? would this website have rules about not being racist, and then go out of it's way to create racist cartoon emojis on the discord server ?

I would VERY much like an answer to this.

Bookie starts having Political races / debates · · 3 likes

I would very much like to bet on the outcome of random political stuff,
from around the world.

It would be awesome if that were a thing that the bookie here in torn would include.

For example, I would gleefully lose many millions tonight on the american vice presidential first debate,
... for no reason other than it's entertaining.

Why does a game without ads use google and bing ? ·

a lot to consider, the hardest of which is that the tracker blocker / firefox / eff software combo's that I've been using might not work.

The second, is that @Aezur brings up a good point, but are there no in-house tools that can be used ?

That may be a suggestion that would require 5 years and a hundred people working continuously, I wouldn't know.

But, if Chedburn Networks had an in-house analytics tool, ... wouldn't it be something that one might feel better about using ?

As someone who has struggled to build a database, (and failed) , I nevertheless remember how many tools were available in the back-end
such that the nodes / pages visited could be turned into an analytics report.

Am I wrong ? Do LAMP stacks and MySQL not have this capability ?

Is google's tool that much more useful ?

And if the tool is for non-advert based analytics, then what's the purpose behind the redundancy of using both google and microsoft ?

would they even be used if not for a benefit ?

question , returned to it's source is:

can I opt out ?

can i know, unequivocally that no data gathered is fed into companies I hate,... like, at all.

Nobody has a mechanically precise definition of the HOW, thus, now I've moved onto HOW NOT, that is,
to participate, in google or microsoft services,
coming from a country undergoing vender-lock-in based attacks from foreign countries,
if I could choose to let ZERO electricity pass through anything but the Chedburn networks computers themselves,
then that's what I'd choose.

Also, I payed close to 50$ USD on the facebook version of torn,

and guess what ?

I'd rather not spend money helping democracy destroying platforms from monetizing their user base.

F*** being monetized, your thoughts ?
