There is yet hope. Even if the game falls I can still play checkers with the gaffers. I can still play peek-a-boo with the tikes.

Staurt helped talk me off the ledge after seeing my post in the Trade forum just now. I turned a 14T surplus into a 91T deficit overnight...buy my DVD, and I can tell you how you can do the same to your country, too! ;)

Maybe i'm off topic, but just odd to me.

Rebels attack factory in Queen of Battle
The population in Queen of Battle has attacked Colorado Vacation vacation operator in protest of excessive education costs. There were 3625 casualties and 5688 people were wounded. Colorado Vacation is very severely damaged. The factory Colorado Vacation will be closed down. Infrastructure in the direct neighbourhood was ruined causing important damage to the country.

Maybe this is just me but gimme a break, this is a cruel way to lose assets. Punishment for a high education???

Whooee, 179T SC$ and rising! Cash available is a hockey stick graph. No financial services fees yet! Free beer for all, courtesy of Bad Lagerland! Thanks W3C, you guys are the best!!

This is getting beyond a joke;

Subject: Improve your finances
Message: The netcash limit for countries that are part of an empire is -60T SC$.

The netcash position of "Utopia" is -210T SC$.

Please improve the financial position of your country before it goes bankrupt.

On looking at the country again, I noticed that there was actually 274T in cash - enough to pay of the loans which I did immediatley. Because of this, I have lost 3.14T for paying them back early, and altogether I estimate that I have lost around 27T because of this bug. If the issue is now fixed, can I get my money back please? 27T is the best part of 60GC at GM prices, so its not really a small amount.

Also, could you let us know if it is once again safe to use the cash market please?

Thanks.

What the Bleep...I'm still -70T in debt!!!

No reset...no nothing...so what the bleep am I supposed to do here! Do a bunch of work to get it out of debt, spend all my GC's and then the GM will fix it...waste my time or lose my country to debt!

WHERE IS THE GM SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!?!? TELL US WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO!

The problem in my enterprise sems to have been corrected.

I hope paying off 85T SC$ in loans helps my credit score...

Oh... You want to know what to do? That's easy: nothing.

In situations such has these, the only thing to be done is to warn the GM and supply him the required details. He has already been warned, so we now wait. When he does move to fix things, we just need to make sure nothing is missed.

/me wonders what's the hold-up

Just a guess here, but I think everything has been fixed now.

The clocks for each world are moving as well now. They will do jumps throughout the day to compensate the time they were still.

I got the same Staurt, wg. One country at plus 150T and another is at -90T..rgr that LG

Simcountry - Cash market problem
In the past 24 hours we had a major problem on the cash market. We think that more than 100 countries and enterprises are affected.

Transactions with gold coins and some transactions with population transfers were executed many times. The number of gold coins was not affected at all.

This caused major problems in countries that have recently made a cash market transaction.

We have now made corrections to reverse these errors.

All countries that have received huge amounts of cash will see cash levels return to the previous levels. All these countries have received a 5 Trillion bonus.

All countries that had a lot of cash subtracted, received all their cash back and they received an extra cash bonus of 5 Trillion to cover for any extra cost they may have incurred.

Some countries received large loans to cover for the cash that was transferred. These loans will be paid up automatically in the first simulation run that is being started right now.

Some countries have seen large population transfers in or out of the country. This depends on the cash market transaction. If they received population, they may have received it many times. If they have transferred population out, this too may have happened many times.

We have now corrected all population numbers and each affected country received an extra population bonus of 2.000.000.

The population in six countries have not been corrected yet and this will take place in the coming hour or so. There may be some problems with the numbers of workers or professionals in a small number of countries. We will make the necessary corrections in the coming hours.

It is possible that some countries population will not be compensated to the full or that you may have any questions whether you were compensated for the problem we have caused.

If your country was not corrected, we request you to mail us with the problem:

Mail us the account mail address and the name of the country where the problem is. Explain what the problem is. We will immediately take all needed measures to fix whatever is wrong. We know what the situation was before this happened and we can fix it.

We think that the measures we have taken will compensate any country that was affected by this error but we invite anyone who thinks that we have caused a problem and did not compensate her/him correctly to explain and we will swiftly solve the problem and compensate for any damage to any country.

We are very sorry that this happened.

The problem is a result of a change in the cash market that was intended to add some messages that will explain in better way what happens when a cash market transaction does not take place and gives the play the reason.

This change has unfortunately cased this error.

The problem happened yesterday during the last game update and many cash market transactions that took place after this change have gone wrong.

Damn I KNEW I should've bugused! See what I get for being honest...

Just checked into SC again and lengthy post from GM is up. Financial statement details in my countries appear to be correct.

I also received a personal email from GM in response to my earlier email regarding the bug. It may have been an auto response to the problem, but it was very welcome and quite appreciated.

GM takes a lot of hits in this forum -- some fair, some not -- but I for one appreciate the response.

There are no automated or generic replies.

Wow...how is this for one...Loans are too high

The current debt is 528.66T SC$.

You cannot order products or build new corporations.
This can be solved:

1. You can try and sell a property you have - example: a corporation,
2. You can exchange a gold coin for cash and pay back some loans.

Make sure you generate more income and reduce cost.

I could always use 2.0M pop and $5 Trillion SC. Why wasn't i affected!

i sell 7 gold coins for poppulation transfer, its says that all my bibs had been accepted, but just 2 of 7 millions of pop had been transfer, becuase of the cash market problem i think i couldn't recive the others 5mill of the pop i bought. any idea?

What is the gamemaster's email? I bought population yesterday, had the bug, but then have had all of my purchased population removed, and my country returned to a c3. However, I haven't received any gold coins in compensation.

Wow fast respones time!! Now if only they will give us back the chance to be pretending we are rich. this is the email address

thanks nute. out of curiosity, how long does it normally take them to get back to us?

Days.....if your lucky.

LOL beast that is awesome. I bought pop yesterday and did not get it back either. I emailed them at 9:47 AM PST and it was fixed at 12:51 PM PST. But good luck with getting anything fixed tonight.

My countries returned to normal today, after purchasing pop yesterday. Although.... my worker shortages is still screwed up. Normally adding pop fixes that issue, but I'm still struggling with shortages.

All I know is I have had my training numbers set to about 30 for High Tech Executives in all my countries for almost 2 weeks now and I am STILL sitting there with 0. How does that happen?

KB has recently updated and I have seen HTEx reduce from 1200 to 76, despite having education priority set to 17, and HLM reduce from 5K to less than 1K.

I have not built any new corps.
