W3C - Awards for April 2024

Both SOL awards and gold coins awards for April are now paid to the winners.

SOL awards are now slightly higher then those of last month, following the fluctuations in the value of the SOL.

A couple comments/questions.

The awards tab on the main login page says CEOs Awards for April 30 2024
0.25 SOL for auditor because MGS Solutions was rated 5. I have a deposit confirmation for 0.12 SOL. Which is it supposed to be, what you posted on the page or what I was actually awarded?

Also, your listed CEO awards for Fearless Blue:
51 GC for Th Merchant Of Death because SHADY Corp 2 was rated 1
20 GC for Th Merchant Of Death because SHADY Corp 1 was rated 2

That is literally the player who's empire you just deleted for cheating. He changed the public display name but that is 100% the same account. Those CEO enterprises were just as much a part of the cheating as his empire itself. Giving them premium currency awards for ranking just doesn't sit well.

Still waiting for SOL award for March Hope the team can give an explanation soon rather than keeping us in the dark.

There is another discussion about sol awards for March.

There is indeed an error on the awards tab.

the awards are updated every month to the current value of the SOL.

we paid much more that published when the sol was very low.
(never any comment about it).
and the numbers were reduced when the sol wen up from $ 20 to $ 150.

we will now make sure to update the page each month to the current value of the SOL.

we did not delete any empire.
I do not know which player you refer to.

someone indeed said that we deleted his empire.
the only thing we found is that the empire expired but nothing deleted.

might be someone else...

Well Andy, considering this is my first month with SOL rewards, published numbers of the past don't really apply to me. You gave the awards, your awards page indicated a different amount, and I asked the question. It doesn't need to be a bigger deal than that. You alarmingly use the statement that people didn't comment on problems before as if you take offense to someone reporting an issue. It's in poor taste to respond with passive aggressiveness when people report issues.

You didn't delete any empire? My apologies then, you made your announcement that you caught the player again and in the same hour their empire on FB was completely gone (though the CEO enterprises still remained). The player was Emperor of Fearless Blue. He changed the public display name but those enterprises I listed above that you gave the rewards to are absolutely 100% the very same player and very same enterprises that were involved in the exploiting that you said you found and corrected. Other players from FB can easily look at those enterprises and agree, but you obviously would have the easiest way to check the account right in front of you I would assume. The player also has more countries and enterprises still running the same exploits.

Andy,

auditor is talking about what you said in the thread "W3C - Cheating does not help".

Where you stated "We have now made some repairs that included the removal of some countries".

The person he is talking about, is the person you were talking about in that post.

When we found this account, it had many countries with impossible quantities of products and cash.
some countries were beyond repair and we removed them but this account has more than 20 countries and remained with maybe 18.

we did not remove "an empire".
did not remove any enterprise.

we were more concerned with the huge assets and removed a large part of them also by setting the account at a large negative amount.

the remaining assets were back to an acceptable size.

some would say we should have removed the account but we decided to let it be.
We explained that we cannot let the account continue with these assets and requested him to do it by himself.

he did and he ended up removing empires.

The number of times we removed empires and enterprises in the entire life time of simcountry is lower than 5.

@Andy,

Suggestion for the GM,

For larger nations the 300,000 worker converted monthly is still not enough.
Any chance you could add a booster?

3GC you can change up to 1,000,000 people profession per month!

I agree that 300.000 is not enough when you have a large problem.

the solution is in a structural change in the distribution of workers.

we have made several small changes in the past months.

your comment triggers another small change that will be done in the next game update.

large changes are very risky.
it is much harder to correct the number of workers down.

Andy,

Thank you for the update.
Even making changes monthly I still barely make a dent in the need workers. So it is nice to hear you have a plan to address it!

The next update will (again), increase the percentage of young high level workers becoming available.

we assume that most of the problems are in the numbers of high level workers and this is where we are making the changes.
