The Billion Resource Problem 18/8
Please by the love of all that is Holy, do a rollback.
Any other action leaves far too much ambiguity to whether you managed to find every little bit of resource that was accidently handed out.
What about planets that were 'reasonable' in their usage and built 10K FR or initiated 30 roids? Small amounts etc. At this stage of the game, that is a hefty advantage. The fact some things like this could easily slip through means there really is no choice but for a rollback to occur to make sure for 100% certain that nothing has come from this mistake.
Youve got people who built few ships, initiated, donated to gal or alliance funds etc. That's ALOT to look through.
Anything else other than rollback is just madness and will cast doubt upon the rest of this round.
Anyone in favour of a rollback to the tick before the handout please sign below.

We're reviewing our admin tools to see if there's a way to avoid it happening again.

Re: The Billion Resource Problem 18/8
" Its Tick 75, are you sure you want to be a retard and hand out billions of resources"
Might suffice...

Re: The Billion Resource Problem 18/8
While the admin was at fault, alot of the idiot player base were as well. You all knew that the resource hand out was a mistake (and that it wouldn't stand), yet some of you still spent the resources, which is why there was a roll back.
Take a look at yourselves before pointing your finger at the admin in an unpleasant way.

Short of restricting that admin page (havoc_admin iirc) to selected people ( which was already done ) , or having a 'really sure?' checkbox on it - there isnt without making it tricky for yourselves when you genuinely want to donate amounts that large to everyone

Re: The Billion Resource Problem 18/8
If it will be as said, like 1 tick roll back, we all should be used to it allready. What kinda did piss me off was to pause the game for whole day, couldn't it be done in like 1hour? :crymeariver:
Yes I just lost a day of from my life as PA is my life, my gf, my work, my legacy.
Just dont let the admins feed theyr accounts with miljons in future so this wont happen again

Which of course raises the (logical?) question of why an admin should be allocating any resources at all to any account.

Re: The Billion Resource Problem 18/8
i was under the impression Fiery was attempting to put the speed server into havoc and got main game instead, pain in the ass granted but not malicious, or an admin trying to give themself resources. Can't you lot ever discuss things without poinitng the finger of blame and conspiracy?

It's a reasonable question, under the circumstances. Just like your answer is a reasonable one.

haha, well it was Fiery's fault. She did accidently put the main game into havoc...
But like you said, not in a malicious way, it was an accident that will be forgotten... but not until PA is back up and running. For now we grump about pointing our fingers.
