[Cards] Technical Issue and Loophole at end of Auction
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2018 6:28 pm
Found a flaw in the bidding for this card:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... 2/season=1
I bid with about 10 seconds left and it told me that the bidding was extended, but then a few seconds later the page refreshed and said it was sold to the previous bidder. Then they turned around and put it right back up for sale at the ask price.
it was very shrewd work to take place in the matter of a minute but there was clearly some server disconnect because the timer showed it had extended for me and clearly showed me as the matched bidder at 10.01 before it then refreshed and showed it sold at the lower price instead.
It even clearly shows this order of operations in the history for the card
