PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS...

by Hazed

If you've been doing builds in advance of the disaffection code going in, hoping that when the riots are implemented you will have done enough to stave them off, you will have been keeping an eye on the disaffection figure which is calculated by taking into account all of the infrastructure builds on your planet. You may have noticed that there is a problem and the percentages don't add up right. It seems that the dole build, which gives a social security payout to the unemployed, is only reducing disaffecting by 1% when it should be 3%. Bella has fixed this problem and the fix will go in when the next version of the code is put in during the week.

Meanwhile, If you bought the very expensive but highly effective premium price ticker which was made available a few weeks ago, you got a bargain! The cost should have been five slithy toves, but due to a pricing error, TC&B were only taking four slithies off you if you bought one. What a discount! The being responsible for this error, which is believed to have cost the brokerage company a small fortune, has been fired (in the scrap metal furnace). The brokers have tried to persuade the Galactic Administration that they should be able to retroactively go back to each of the customers who were undercharged and demand that they fork out the extra slithy, but the law is not on their side so customers can breathe easily.
