iirc, I was talking to gerbie a couple of times in the beta about the effectiveness of Covert Ops - afaik it was he who suggested that you reduced the effectivness of Covert ops (as at the time the use of every succesful agent gave you score), which you did. But if i again remember correctly further advice and suggestions went unheard/ignored.
Gerbie was teh ultimate covert opper in the beta. Was it really supriring that he would do so well with covert ops during the proper round?

btw, imo Gerbie (and everyone else who adopts this tactic and method) should be encouraged to continue on with this, without tweaking of formulas etc. having read much of this thread i would say that alot of people agree on this issue.
tbh - future direction of PA should include multiple paths of getting to the #1 spot. Whilst that's easy to say, i'm sure if Spinner ASKED THE COMMUNITY FOR SUGGESTIONS then he would find some very intelligent, feasible and plain old good fun solutions.
The more different 'pathways' to victory this game has, the more fun (and greater replayability between rounds - ie going for a 'conventional' method one round, and a different method in a subsequent round if there are any) this game would have.
Pld Gerbie

ffs. this just hafto be fixed. what's the point playing if it's not.
we can't have everybody in PA using this tactic. that would stagnate the game like hell.

A bug (a missing limitation actually) was found in the score system, which had led to the preious #1 player being in a somewhat unrealistic position. This has been fixed and the score formula has been adjusted.
last rounds, big players bashed small players and stayed high in ranks. now a small player does well for playing a legal tactic and he gets penalised??

Heh, so my post earlier was right, you did decide to change the formula, in conclusion you're now more of a chump than before Spinner.

Good job. This will make the game interesting again. With this limit I still gained 30k in one operation. If I can repeat it a couple of times I might still make #1.
Just try and stop me people.

When you upgrade your account to a paid account, you will get 5.000 of each resource in bonus which might come in handy for getting those extra roids up and running
erm?????
LOL
well... a bug?? how possible?
btw i do 100-200 scan per day and my score really doesnt increase; another 'bug'?

.... and our galaxy fund in 5:2 keeps growing , he keeps our 5% for transactions and you keep donating to gerbie in his covert actions - keep up the good work m8 - it should convert in to a tidy sum towards the end of the round
no doubt spinner will change the rules/ formulas again to suit himself and mess things up - but hey whats new there then

Tbh, youve supported my feelings about PaX, why change the game so that the winner isnt the person with the most roids and the most ships?

His value has gone up pretty much though, so i wonder if he's keeping the same strategy as before, and whether having a high value might make him less efective as co-opper. I cba with PaX atm to find out all the details and formulas, so maybe you can enlighten me on this doubt of mine.

And down he goes again. This is just a bit confusing, but i guess that Gerbie is having fun jumping up and down in the rankings. I just hope that he makes #1 at the end of the round :P.
