Some type of cube glitch on italyrats. It stopped but i got those cubes on deathrun. Thanks - Lightning
Also another thing, when you get the "You have been awarded x cubes for the death of x runner(s).", it is super delayed. Like it could show up a round afterwards. And something else that we figured out while I was actually writing this, Lightning gets the message 'you have been awarded', but I get a more specific one that says "You have been awarded x cubes for killing runner x." Not sure why we both have different messages, didn't know what that was about.
That's be design - it attempts to aggregate up the runner deaths over 10 seconds in order to cut down on database writes. This message shows when you kill the runner yourself (E.g. with a crowbar or gun), as a bonus for doing so. Do you have anymore information? What happened in the run up to this?
Okay, found the root cause by analysing logs - it's because a loaded module is causing an error in the cube processing. This module should be disabled, but it's not so it's been re disabled. Also updated the code, so if this happens again, it correctly cleans up the rewards tables (Which is doesn't at the moment, as a result of the aforementioned error).
From this bug, the following action will be taken: Any cubes earned from Deathrun as of last Tuesday will now be removed - you will receive a delivery when you next join to remove the cubes earned; it's impossible for us to tell what cubes were earned by the bug and those legitimately so we've had to remove them all from the aforementioned date (And only those gained on DR, your surf cubes are fine). Some players did buy items using their gained cubes, however they would have been able to afford those items anyway. Based on that, no-one gained anything from these cubes so any items bought will not be removed. No punishments will be handed out as it seems no-one intended to exploit the bug. And lightning has been given an [Unusual Stormy Monitored] hat for reporting the bug.
So will we get another 200% event at any point to make up for this? A few of us only played for the weekend since it was easier to get people to hop on.
It's now a weekly thing, similar to how midweek madness is for Surf. The only day which currently doesn't offer any increased rewards is Monday, so to clarify: Tues - Thurs = Midweek Madness for Surf (easy and hard) Fri - Sun = Weekend Madness for DR.
