Operation Gambit - Questions regarding rules and regulations

Kandly: Since some of you have shared concerns regarding this post, here are some clarifications that will hopefully explain why the "exploit" doesn't actually work.   Our initial response was: There can be no exploit in this case, because the system takes active bets into account when calculating the Fame Points to be withdrawn.   Here’s what “taking active bets into account” means: 1) A bet is active while it can be cancelled. As soon as prime-time -1 comes on the Province, bet-winners turn into Divisions and the rest of bets are cancelled. 2) While calculating the amount of fame points to be removed within the 'leadership burden' mechanic, the System knows active bets and takes them into account. For example, there was a battle between Clans A and B: • clan A won the battle, so it shall receive some amount of fame points of Clan B • let's assume that Clan A has 1 000 fame points and Clans B has 101 000 fame points • before the battle was finished, Clan B decided to hide its fame points into auction bets in order not to give part of them to Clan A • so Clan B made the following bets: 1. Province P1 = 50 000 fame points, the bet is still active, it's > 2 hours till prime-time -1 2. Province P2 = 50 000 fame points, the bet is still active, it's > 2 hours till prime-time -1 • after that, Clan B has 1 000 fame points on its account, meaning that the battle is finished and the System starts calculating the amount of fame points to be removed from the Clan B’s account Fame points of Clan A = Clan account fame points + Clan active bets = 1 000 + 0 = 1 000 Fame points of Clan B = Clan account fame points + Clan active bets = 1 000 + 50 000 + 50 000 = 1 000 + 100 000 = 101 000 Amount to be moved to Clan A = 5%*(101 000 - 1 000) = 5% * 100 000 = 5 000 fame points   We hope this clears things up.
