Hey folks, as mentioned in another post I am starting world B X before world B IX is officially over to give people a chance to join in. I do have a plan to change the world structure up a bit hence this world will run shorter than World Bs have in the past, instead we will soon be starting a Dynasty mode world (realistic restrictions but 7 day turns) that would run from 1935 to 2035 that is meant to replace World B as a long term realistic world. Further, I accidentally let World C I run faster which messed with my schedule, as such World C will not be reset for some time to ensure constant availability of fresh worlds for people to join. As such, the following is World B X: World B X: imeframe: 1950-1985 World Speed: 10 Minutes/day (45 minutes/day until Sunday, June 16th to give people time to join and set up their airlines) Starting Money: $5,000,000 Rules/Difficulty: Normal/5 Instant deliveries for new airlines Thanks y'all!

No, you would need to build a new terminal

Are you getting an error? You shouldn't have any restrictions on the account.

What do you mean? You shouldn't need to lease fatss from a terminal that you own, you already own these gates

Yes, email does not currently work. I do have plans to migrate the forum as it's still on the old server which will fix it once that's done.

I don't know, try logging into some of your alts and find out ;)

I apologize for the delay, I have been taking a bit of a break. That said, I have investigated and found that both @skill issue and @LID_Airways (who are the same person) have exploited a previously unknown issue that allowed them to build terminals with negative gates. Since terminal build costs are a set cost (depending on how many terminals already exist) plus a per gate cost. Due to an oversight, there was no validation to ensure that the number of gates was greater than 0 and due to the way the formula works a negative value would allow you to be charged a negative amount, thus giving the player money. No gates were constructed as a result but terminals with 0 gates. This issue has since been fixed and deployed to prod. As for @skill issue, I have found a total of 12 forum account associated with the user (though not all with airlines). I have permanently banned all except @skill issuethemselves. All of the accounts (including @skill issue) have been permanently banned from the sim though I will reconsider if @skill issue reaches out over a PM after 90 days. All of the airlines associated with all of the accounts (totaling 17 airlines, 5 of which have been found to abuse the issue above) have been removed. Thus far I have not really created a formal system for banning folks, mostly because there have not been too many issues that required my intervention however clearly over the last few months we have gotten to that point, hence will prioritize that effort. In the meanwhile please enjoy the temporary ban page! Thanks to @Sky Global Holdings Corp. for flagging the issue down, and to @skill issue for being obvious enough to make it easy to catch. Thanks!

Ok that is kinda weird, let me look into it.

Sorry didn't see your post. Please email me from the same email as your original account to artem (at) sviridov.us with your username and I will reset your password and put it in the email.

B IX is still running the old fuel model, the new fuel model had all the planes audited so it should be fixed there.

Which world is that?

Hmm, will try to take a look tonight.

Are you sharing the gate with your alliance? If not then that is a bug. Which world is this in?

Press the little envelope next to notifications and compose new

You can send in private messages but that's difficult to moderate considering I have neither an easy way nor the desire to read PMs (I suppose I could go into the DB and read them if I really wanted to, but I'd need a really good reason to go through the effort). So if you open a link in PMs, I'm sorry but you're on your own then.

Locking this topic

@someone Thank you for your response and I do appreciate the reflection. Seeing as this account has not logged into the sim and appears to just exist for the purposes of posting this, I will not extend the ban and you are free to come back to the sim when the ban expires on May 27th. For what it's worth I do believe that there are two people involved with the Aurora account, when it was first floated to me that @bhsd7th might be the same person I checked the IP addresses for each of the posts from both accounts and they were different, it wasn't until after that the accounts started sharing an IP address. Since all of this happened over a short period of time, I doubt that this is the work of a single person unless you kept changing your IPs. That said, as I said before the whole ordeal, you may have 2 people on one account but will ultimately share in the responsibility so that account will remain banned as well. Thank you also for clarifying how you got the information, to this end I will strengthen policies on my end by banning all external links/communication from being shared. This already exists where it needs a moderator approval to post (this was mostly done to stop the spam bots), but I will extend it to the whole community writ large to avoid such unintentional leaks in the future. I will also close the ISA per your request.

Seriously, it's not fooling anyone. I'm extending the ban, adding IP ban and giving one last warning, any other attempt at ban evasion and it's perma-ban time.

I can confirm that he never had access to any data from here (was never a moderator etc.), if he ever shared any links it's possible that he got the ip off of that. If he did he would be able to tell what city that IP belongs to as well as the ISP (all public data), but not the exact subscriber info (he'd need to go to the ISP for that). Without going into details but based on account info available, I am fairly confident he is who he says he is.

I have accelerated World C I to 15 minute days. I apologize for the issues regarding event manager stopping, I have deployed a patch to automatically run a health check and restart it, it seems to be working and restarting as expected. Still need to root cause the issue but hopefully this should act as a fix for now, will also keep it for the future as it seems to be a common issue. Attaching the screenshot of the dashboard for reference.

I don't know, but locking this thread for now. On the bright side I was able to deploy a health check script that restarts event manager automatically and it seems to be working. I will check it after my flight and if it works will speed up world C I (not a permanent fix, but it's a fix).

Hi! You cannot add stopovers in countries other than your own unless you're in Arcade world, which does not have political restrictions

I dont have a problem with yall sharing accounts, though ultimately I will hold the account as a whole responsible for any issues, so its at your own risk.

Hi! What is going on here? A couple of things, 1. Can we please tame the rhetoric and keep the discussion civil. I won't lock the thread but consider this a warning 2. Aurora is not and has never been a mod in the game or the forum and does not have power to remove anyone as a leader of alliance in game (unless they are the founding member). As for Star Alliance, I can see that he is an alliance moderator, with @Sky Global Holdings as the owner. I generally try to stay away from alliance drama and so leave it up to @Sky Global Holdings to deal with regarding moderatorships in alliances. 3. I didn't read the entire thread (it's a handful, lots of accusations flying around), but if anyone believes there is any other issues requiring moderator intervention, either in game or the forum feel free to PM me and I will deal with it. Thanks!

The issue is that the event manager keeps stopping after a few hours. I am on a work trip so have limited time but will take a look this weekend.
