The rubber bug

Day 4,722, 06:17 Published in Thailand Thailand by Nuclear Furiosa

Good day everybody

As you all know, this month we are participating in an event about resource wars where countries are trying to get better resources for their industries for the next few years.

This morning (for us Europians), we had the famous very rare resource “rubber” at 23:28h erep time, end of day 4721. I am writing this article as you all deserve to know what happened.

As you can see in the pictures below the race included a few countries plus the USA.
The USA was collecting domination poins too fast so they lost their token one minute before the rubber arrived. The other countries were in a very tight race.






The rubber went to RoC (Taiwan).
It would be acceptable if they actually had the longest round from the rest of us. Of course that was NOT the case and we have proof to show it.


RoC battle: Oulu https://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/313409 round 7
Thai battle: Central Croatia https://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/313451 round 2
Phili battle: Mindanao https://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/313456 round 1





Now, from the last picture above you can see Thailand has 5 minutes longer battle then RoC (Taiwan). That picture was taken immediately after the rubber went to RoC, because we knew we had a longer round then them. We checked it before.



Here you can see the timing when Phili started their battle: 21:58h erep time.



Here you can see when RoC (Taiwan) took the rubber: 23:38h erep time.

Which gives us the length of Phili battle when rubber arrived and that’s it 1:40h



I don’t know about the Indian battle as I didn't check at that time.

_____________________________________________________________________

To summarize: In the first two pictures we can see how countries progressed with the points and they are all taking their tokens at the same time. In the next pictures we clearly see the time differences between the battles.
Led by the rule of longest round (not battle as admins responded in tickets after a week of the event ongoing) we can conclude that Philippines had longest round (1:40) then Thailand (1:15) then RoC (Taiwan) (1:10).


RoC (Taiwan) is the last one in this list who should take that resource as it has the shortest round compared to the rest of us!

Here i would like to mention, i don't have anything against any RoC player. This article is not against RoC (Taiwan) but against the cheating admins are doing more and more obvious.

____________________________________________________________________


- We started the event knowing we should compete with the longest battle (as it’s still written in the info as the admins themselves refer to round as battle).
- After a week we got the info it’s the longest round, not battle, while some proAsterian countries already knew and used that advantage.
- Then the 2 bugs with Chile happened.
- Then the bug with Bosnia and the fruits happened.
- And now you are unjustly blocking Philippines and Thailand giving the rubber to the one with the shortest round while opposing your own rules by doing it.


As much as I am trying to stay objective, all I can see in the last 15 days is admins presenting us event with unclear rules while favoring one block in the game, and for sure it’s not CODE. If they keep doing this, Asteria no need to do absolutely anything, admins will win the game for them 🙂

Was about to publish the article when i got this answer:
"The oldest battle rule only applies in case of a draw, that is if more than 1 country reaches the threshold during the same second. In this case Republic of China (Taiwan) has reached the required threshold at 2020-10-23 23:38:03. In this case Thailand has reached the threshold at 2020-10-23 23:38:10".

Philippines got exactly the same answer with exactly the same seconds. So RoC (Taiwan) passed the threshold 7 second before Thailand and Philippines together, who did it in exactly the same second.

New rule ladies and gentlemen: SECONDS MATTER!!!

7 seconds is not such a small difference to not be noticed by one, yet somehow BY SOME NEW RULES we were 7 seconds late, although we were all there at the same time which is clearly visible in the pictures.
How can difference of 7 second appear in synchronized battles?

Dear admins, keep inventing new rules to excuse your mistakes, soon you will end up telling those excuses to yourself and your favorites only.

Yours mad and pretty furious,
