Re-test Complete

Ok the retest is complete … and I want to shoot myself.  We have a different result.  Let me lay this out kinda like a science test… because that will please 123..lol

Methodology

• Each player hits or steals to make over 5m
• When all the hits and plunder are registered kick one player
• Wait until this change is registered and shows on war summary
• Another player leaves
• Wait until this change shows on the war summary
• Forfeit war

 

Results Summary

OK… there’s the summary of the test. Link to spreadsheet on google docs

If we were following the same pattern as the last war Chewy should have won about 2.5m… instead she’s won 6.2.  The awarded tax always seems to be a little over the individuals totals, so to get this figure the tax from Shadow must be included. 

Below is the last test



As you can see from this result the tax awarded would indicate that its only the tax from the two remaining players which has been awarded.

 

Analysis

The conclusion of this

• ugh this sux
• it is possible the dev’s have changed something in the background since the last test
• what is clear is that the tax from kicking does not stay
• as the results don’t match.. I guess I’m testing again… ugh
• There was a subtle difference in the timing of the end of the war last time, it was within 10 minutes of the player being kicked and leaving.

Steals

There were some weird things we noticed along the way as well, which we need to look into a bit more.


If you look at the figure for WOMO, the plunder is too low, it should have registered 15.4m… All the hits and steals are accounted for but the plunder is wrong and it’s a lot to be missing.  You will notice the plunder for the underworld is too high by 3.6k



This was after lady was kicked, she was the one who had done the steal and the tax is nearly spot on now, so the only conclusion to this is that there must be something strange going on with the steals



This was after shadow left, and the discrepancy with the underworlds plunder is still there indicating that there is something going on with the steals

 

Conclusion

Ok where does that leave us

• In need of vitamin alcohol
• In need of retest
• To complete a retest without steals
• It would appear that the constant in both of these tests is that kicking not only looses plunder but looses tax.  This would be in line with what one of the moderators told Scru was going to happen.
• it would appear that there is no clear answer about what happens to tax if people leave
