Topic: Bugs

First, yes, I forgot to say you now can attack plants less than half your level, if they are of higher rank. I implemented this some time ago.
It was suggested on the suggestions page ages ago, that's why.

ALSO:
Bad Ker, Y U have negative money!?

I'll be taking a bit of a look at it.

I've been attacking people less that half mine with about double my rank. I thought that was on purpose. I was happy to not run out of people to attack every hour.

As for ker, I've been getting the same. I'd imagine he just got attacked by two people at once and the -6 just isn't transferring to anyone else, presumably because someone fixed that, so now it's just showing up every time he's attacked.

Wait, what? Isn't it almost always the case that someone with a lower level will have a higher rank (since lower rank is achieved as a plant becomes more powerful)? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the original restriction?

What's so special about Strych that I don't get a fight log? No other person simul-killed me this time.

Uhm wait. The restriction should be people of "better" rank are always attackable. I guess you meant lower as in better, while I was using higher as better. Meh.

Well that's weird. Strych doesn't show up on my fight logs either, but on my notices on the Home tab it says he killed me.
Who made Strych super special?

He he he

If the rule is that plants of "better" rank are always attackable, then we're still back at square one, since whut (rank 30) was able to attack me (rank 45). Bug, or is there something further?

Jon might have just put it wrong

Maybe fixed?

In addition to not getting fight logs from Strych, same appears to be true of Bleeding Heart. Does it depend on getting a hit in as defender?

EDIT: Scratch that about BH as his last hit was a few hours too old to show.

Sometimes fight logs have -ve damage values (as their most obvious symptom of fubarrage). Can't easily grab a screenshot right now cus on my phone but fight with I'd 217289 is an example at time of posting.

Jon, this still needs fixin'!

Suddenly, Whitney!

Is this fixed now? I believe it should be.

Boooo!! Change it back. Higher level plants don't have enough people to hit and that's where your most active players are (I would imagine).

I am the top 1% and I demand preferential treatment!

Also, I've been thinking for a while that if you changed the code so that the "Fert used" display went up whenever the fert bar went down instead of whenever an action was made, you could get around the problem of uncounted digs without having to count the free dig as 50.

A lot of fertilizer is lost digging and it really skews the numbers for who spent the most each day.

To keep the 1% from picking on the 99%.

what's with the negative fertilizer? is this old news?

Jon, the Wiki is down again.
You should probably fix it since we keep getting new people these days. They might need it.
