There have been rumors going around that some team(s) have possibly hacked the IP bonus, similar to MattThomas08's glitch a few wars back: http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthre...ze-check-below
In MattThomas's case, the strange IP bonus was completely inconsequential-- Rogues Gallery was a solid Top 3 team, by over a 6 million IP margin, despite MT's 600k IP.
Now, however, Peach Pimples is in the middle of the Top 10. What's very strange is the massive stat gains these Retired N Broke members have made recently. For instance, one member reported that Level 218 Candihapped had a defense of 2.3 million last week. Right now, it is 4.4 million. And considering they are/were a Top 25, they have a suspiciously large number of players able to hit FC and SAS, and their team's stats completely dwarf perennial Top 10s.
But I can't prove any of that.
What I can prove, is that they averaged an impossibly high IP average in their latest battle.
Something seemed suspicious during our matchup, so I screenshotted all 60 members of our syndicate's losses at the time. I was then able to screenshot our syndicate's losses at the end of the battle, and determine exactly how many attacks they won on us, as well as how many IP they scored.
As a brief review, 422.5 IP per attack is the most IP a player can average with a 25% IP bonus. The largest IP bonus someone besides FC's tam can have (she has a top1 prize with +10% IP), is +29%. +3% from the Chinatown Top 10 prize, and +1% for finishing Top 250 in the Collect-100. Feel free to correct me if you think I am wrong or am forgetting an IP bonus item.
422.5 IP/atk on +25% IP bonus scales up to 436 IP/atk with +29%. This is the largest theoretical average a player can have.
Peach Pimples, on the other hand, averaged 486 IP per attack.
I can prove this. I have a screenshot of 60 members' W/L totals while their score was 19k, and another set of screenshots of all 60 member's W/L totals immediately after the match. Peach Pimples scored 303k IP on 623 attacks.
This likely indicates that not all members have a hacked IP bonus, but that they have at least one or more players with a hacked IP bonus. This syndicate could easily funnel their gold donations to player(s) with hacked IP bonuses to make an absurdly huge/quick push, easily beating Top 10 teams with all hands on deck.
In before some idiot tries to claim they hit the wall over 300-500 times to make up the difference, despite all of their players having monster stats and no need to hit the wall.
If you match Peach Pimples, I highly suggest you do the same-- screenshot your team's individual losses before and after the match, so you can verify for yourself. I can post screenshots (40 of them) or my Excel spreadsheet where I entered all the losses before and after the match. As an aside, this somewhat serves as a scouting report, so I would prefer to only share it with people who are in a position to do something about it, or perhaps to an outside player to verify I am not making this up.
And GREE-- this isn't a matter of just the IP bonus hack, which I am sure you can find in the player's modifier list or by checking their IP total against their wins. How many of these players have the Klout Supercar without having beat the Viktor Klout boss event? How many of the have the LTQ mega prize? How many of them have the Boardwalk Bash wins and win streak prizes that didn't earn it? They change their names, even their syndicate name, for a reason. There is definitely more than 1 cheater here. You don't gain 5 million stats overnight. I can also list specific players with suspiciously high stats if need be, but we didn't scout all 60 of them.
Also Marlena, I believe you're in this syndicate. Would you care to screenshot all 60 members of your syndicates W/L and IP totals, and prove me wrong that no one has an absurdly high IP average? And since you must be one of the L250s that made an absurd stat jump, I trust you wouldn't mind someone digging through your inventory either?
