Whats with the contest ranking??

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 10.09.2009, 13:05

86 10,812 toplist

90 5,399 toplist
91 5,321 toplist
92 5,320 toplist
93 5,298 toplist
94 4,567 toplist
95 4,510 toplist
96 4,187 toplist
97 4,153 toplist

I noticed these on R2 and i can't even find the company "toplist" in the search machine.

Who are they and where did they go?
I have an idea, but that would be a wild guess.

I would like to see the wild guess, because I don't understand it either..

i think this is a visual bug
OR
companies sent beef then either deleted or changed name

Nah the way it's spaced seems like- 10,000 from initial money they had lying around.
The rest seem quite similar in amounts, maybe from a regular contract or they make it in batches of that size.

I think it's 1 company that's been sending those amounts in but there's some bug which has caused it to register each sending in seperatley and since a company can't be in the contest rankings more than once it has gone to a "panic" name

That's indeed a wild guess.

About the real answer: It can have been a bug or what I already suggested in the bug-section:

GoldenEye wrote:Possible explanation:
There was a player that chose the company name "toplist". He entered the Realm 2-contest (silver Q4). He sent in his products, reset/restarted his company and did the same again... and again... and again... and finally changed his company name/deleted it.
He get's a new entry everytime he does it.

Okay, but we do not want to discuss now why a player would do that.
