Poor Arthur has his hands full and its a shame; I'm sure he's got better things to do than referee the cheaters. For every brilliant person who creates something for pleasure, there is someone equally brilliant with nothing better to do than figure out a way to mess it up. Nothing is safe in the virtual or real world.

Arthur did a great job but the cheats are back again. Number 1 and 2 in the list must be chats with figures like they have:-

1 kka 1409821088 14 2000100 704 363 7
2 Sunshine 18141025 2975 24660 735 389

Average selling price over 700???????? Why do people do this and spoil it for others.
Arthur, cant you ban these people and block their IP's???
But great work and of course a great program. It's more than just a game............Thanks

I recall something the other day in the forums about how some people put their breeders in the sale tank, then jacked up the price so high - like to 1000 or 7000 or whatever, so that they wouldn't sell. Five minutes later, they click on the sell button and all the expensive ones that they thought wouldn't sell... gone. That might account for some of the high average prices.

With only 14 hours playing time.......I don't think so.....just a cheat.

I'm not saying that some of the scores aren't cheats. I'm just pointing out that there may be a reason for some of the oddly high average selling price in otherwise normal scores.

Those really really big numbers...I'm not convinced that's a normal exploit even. There was a very early version of the game where people could sell fish at any price using a trick...that has been fixed. But it would not explain those really insanely large numbers...to me that looks like a 'rolling over' of the score, as if perhaps the player managed to go into the negative with their earnings, and confused the game.

I'll look into it.

Arthur, don't you ever take any time off? But I guess your a very proud guy having a program like this. You do a fantastic job and I'm sure I speak for all the user...thanks very much. Forget about the cheats, they are the ones who are real losers.
