HI heres how I got all my money: (I just modified the script from earlier)
it uses the python request module to automatically fill out the form to buy land.
basically every new account starts out with one million dollars so in the script I first make a new account with a random string as the username, then I buy the square of land in south alabama (which is set to $999,999), while setting that squares price to 0, then using the Ginko account, which just got the $999,999 from the new account, rebuys that square and resets the price to $999,999. repeat
to fix this I reccomend you put captcha on the user registration page.
I think these would be stupid but you could also: make it more complicated to get the initial 1000000, or make logins ip based
I then used a slightly modified version of the script from earlier to buy everything
I think you may prefer it if I sent you the script in a private message or just not at all, rather than post it here

drunk dubs best dubs imho
>>4056396
me on the left, I shoulda known. I already knew you were doing so without script to keep Japan.
I can and might place a captcha on the join form, but there's limits to these approaches. You could always manually create the accounts, you'd only need a handful for a large advantage. I could limit types of transactions too, but people will just press the limits I set.
The best answer is bot behavior detection, serial buying, so on. Much like stack overflow depends on. Combine this with IP detection and captcha register, and some soft limits.
If you're savy with code, you should fork the project and help out. It's OOP PHP in a simple codeigniter framework, well commented and written, so should be easy to grasp.
All ideas for this welcome and much needed.
Actually, tokens will break all these bots, although there is a way around that too, although much more difficult.
Oh, and send that script to [email protected]. I want it for sentimental reasons.
What exactly determines rebates? Is it affected by the price of land?
>>4056589
sent ;^)
I set one of ginkos lands to a very high price, so it should bankrupt next cycle. think of it as a map reset
>>4056633

Also,send it to [email protected] I want it for studying.
>>4056396
I had thought of that exploit, but hadn't wanted to point it out for fear of someone using it.
now that's it reset, I don't think I have the heart to take 1111 land again

Since landgrabbers just claim/ purchase without changing a word
I wonder when engello will go bankrupt with those million dollar australia plots
the perfect strategy now in the beginning is to have low-price lands between 10k and 25k, no one buys them and you still earn about 40k/land
>>4056925
the perfect strategy is to claim tons of land and leave it at 0 dollars collecting all the taxes of the high priced lands and draining the econmy
it might be interesting if you needed to write a unique description for each land, like the r9k robot.
I guess that would just lead to bloxbloxblox

Muddy dubs stop shitting on the economy
>>4057037
I am the economy
I am off work and ready to get to work.
Going to put an end to these bots tonight. Tokens verification and IP based registration limiting will push the security level beyond your average bot writer.
Might add a few features as well.
I also have an idea.
Rebates are a flat amount, but increase each time that a property is bought. Might make it simplier, easier to understand, and magnify demand for high value areas without making them money losers.
On here all night. I love you /s4s/. Anyone can participate with the coding.
github.com/goosehub/landgrab
landgrab.xyz is the site this thread is about for anyone new.
>>4057422
>22
>>4057422
i don't really know much php, sorry, but I think that this game can be fun once the security is tighter and you can release it to more people
>>4057438
>38
Security Update is live.
Go ahead and try your bots, because they won't work, and I'm willing to bet my cigar you won't get them working. Using limits on how often an IP can register, and using tokens to prevent blind form submission. Additionally, this is one area where having google maps involved will make my life easier, although I'll let you bot writers figure out why.
Now back to features. What does /s4s/ want next?
>>4057712
I like the idea of claiming land having a token fee.
if it was $1000, for example, a new player could only claim ~1/3 of the world left unchecked
>>4057712
What about having a sale history somewhere in the options? That way you can see what's been sold aside from the sales since your last refresh
>>4057719
I'll code it up, and we'll see how it plays out. Might discourage $0 cost property as well.
>>4057729
It's on my to do list. Glad to see people to want more of it.
>>4057732
There's already been two.
By the way, here's the bots that bought the world. They'll be harmless now.

We should invite the other boards.

Maybe pol would get a kick out of it too, but I never lurk there. Anybody here a /pol/lock?
>>4058416
i dont think you should do /b/ but its up to you. definitely invite /int/ though. i never lurk pol either
>>4058483
I will.
But before I do, I'm going to take a bit of a break, think long and hard, and come up with the missing piece. Any help or thoughts you guys can add is absolutely welcomed, and of course, feel free to play and share the game. You guys have been incredible so far, thanks a kektillion times.
I'll try to make it ebin-er-est

Hitting the hay tonight. Styled the cash dropdown to be sexy and colorful and information. Added a button to the last 24 hours of sales, fixed several bugs. Going to have a life tomorrow, so I'll see you guys Thursday, around 12:01 am.
I made a story with the game
>>4059188
>>4058677
good digits

oh, apparently if you set land to a negative value, you can gain money from the taxes
>>4059360
I didn't graduate high school, so I'm not eligible to pay taxes
No thank you from Muddy Dubs? :(
>>4059365
I was worried that the negative tax would bankrupt every other player
>>4059369
It only bankrupts me.
>>4059376
my reasoning is that come tax time, every player is taxed %2 percent of the price of each piece of land. If you are taxed for %2 of -1,000,000,000,000
you would give -50,000,000,000, which would then be distributed to each plot of owned land.
i think i just found a bug
>>4059433
>>4059439
$9,397,911,923,025,000
thats my money count right now
and why do all the lands earn around $125,305,492,306,900/Hour?
>>4059440
because the top priced lands are valued at 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, so the taxes on that were redistributed to everyone with land
reeset the land pls
I hope people liked the voyage of Captain Kek
PP here. Wow, that's rich. Logged on to find 5,000 trillion dollars! You guys are awesome at breaking my game, thank you! I'll have a fix soon.
More importantly, I have the killer feature this game needs and will have it out either tonight or tomorrow.
>>4059543
whats your username?
>>4059549
J.J is goose
not sure who PP is
might be related to pepe silvia
>>4059549
I meant OP, but you can call me PP
>>4059543
You are welcome.
Thank for fixing the bug :)
But now I only have 900k,for no reason. Before I had about 2 million :(
>>4060292
the money was reset to 1 million for every world.
On kek, a lot of new players have been drawing using 0 cost land, so your high priced land is draining your pockets
ha, fun game!
thx OP
OP I think you should use a much lower amount to begin with considering the max you can get out of a property is like $235/hour, and a property worth $10,000 gets almost nothing.
I think starting money should only be 50k or something.
>not like you can't just claim land
>4060620
>>4060620
the income of a property is a equally divided redistribution of the 2% tax on all properties.
Every claimed property gets it's share of the tax, but high value land pays more tax.
Because there are hundreds of 0 value lands, those lands are paying 0 tax, but receiving the same income as the lands valued at 1 million which are paying 20 thousand in taxes
>>4060765
additionally, the income is estimated based on the most recent tax session (happens on the hour) so if the average price of land has significantly raised or dropped, the income will be affected
Jameson here, AKA goose, AKA GameMaster
Tonight, I begin work on a very important update. When it is finished, the game will move much faster, and hopefully, will lead to a surplus of kek and ebin times for all.
I will have to restart the map, but I promise it will take much MUCH less time to fill up the map.
No going to share any details as of this point, because I enjoy secrets.
I hope to have it released late tonight, but might not finish until tomorrow. Wish me luck.
>>4060926
good luck
>>4060926
Can you lower the effect other lands have on taxes/income? Now,late game, a 20k land generates minus,wich forces you to have cheap lands,wich encourages land hoarding (when you buy tons of land and set it to a really low price)
>>4061099
thanks, I checked your doubles
Your fortune: ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!
>>4061249
>>4061249
Since you're bumping for the cause, here's a teaser.
The game starts over with a very powerful tool.
Market Orders.
Declare where you want to buy, how many, for how much, and where. Market Orders will get you the cheapest land available in that area.
Other changes, claiming land now has a cost, taxes back to 1%, and the cash table looks better.
You'll have to make a new account. Needed to clear all the bot accounts for the early days. If you get an error, visit this URL.
>landgrab.xyz/user/logout
It's late, but tomorrow I'm going to offer /int/ to join us.
As always, let me know if you find bugs, and try to hack and break the game please.

Hey Muddy. I was resetting the database right when you made that account. Make another account and you'll be good, you can use the same name, I'll delete your current one.
>>4061717
ok thanks
By the way everyone, the where part of the market order feature isn't accurate for some reason, I'll try to get it working now, I'll let you know when that part is working.
>>4061728
Got it working, since only muddy was on, I reset the database.
Taking a continent will be much faster now. Have fun.
>>4061797
It works!
Can't believe I finished that in one night. Too bad it's so late. You guys have fun with this tonight.
>>4061807
thanks. Have a good night
>>4061813
Tomorrow I'll add presets so you don't have to figure out Lat Lng. Probably places like America, Africa, Europe, Austrilia, ect. (My spell check doesn't know what I'm trying to spell, sorry)
this is so fucking garbage you're all pathetic pissants for wasting a moment on this nightmare piece of shit

Don't talk about /s4s/ like that. This is nice board.

how does the market order work? im trying to claim japan but im only claiming one piece at a time

Your fortune: Reply hazy, try again
>>4062253
Increase the number your buying?
>>4062708
its working now, thanks
market order is too powerful.
before i had like 11 lands,and now in about 20 minutes i have 411 lands.
>>4062725
but you're also pretty broke
>>4062796
i get +$140,220/Hour,so its worth it
bump for funposting
turns out the Tax is taxen before the rebate. so Muddy and jumpyman went bankrupt
>>4063238
went bankrupt, and then received the rebate. Weboth restarted with over 1million
you should add the option to buy land from a specific player
not thinking of anyone special here,just a cool feature that you could add.
funposting has come to landgrab
please funpost ironically
>>4063587
Fore!
>>4063588
Nice dubs!
Someone please buy my lands or else I'm gonna go bankrupt in the next hour
Username jumpyman
How do you add an image to your land description?
BTW; You should remove that feature. It makes lands basically unbuyable.
OP,Do you have an idea for the next update?
>>4063755
Outstanding dubs.
Lol man I totally lost my sh*t with that pic, made me laugh like a seal.
Toppest of Zozzles.

I'm gonna be inviting /int/. Now would be a good time to reset the map.

>>4063944
nice dubs
In case of 404/archive; >>4064072
I'm losing the game :DDDD
>>4063755
Great question. I think there's a solid base here. A functional game engine built around google maps, a money system, and it all seems to be engaging well. It's still seems to be that it's missing an important gameplay mechanic or element.
I think it's how money is made that has potential. The tax system is simple, puts a bit of strategy into price, and is simple to understand. The rebate system is a little less intuitive, and I think could be replaced by something else.
I currently have a bank system in place where all claimed land goes into the worlds "bank". Taxes can go into this bank as well. Then the way players make money can pull from that bank. Perhaps in a way that spurs fun behavior.
So what does /s4s/ think? How do you want to make money. Pull out your inner Bateman for me anons.
I had thought about regional taxes happening on the :30 minute mark. Like each continent or just large blocks having a mini tax session within themselves aside from the worldwide tax.
I'm not sure if that would make things much more interesting though.
>>4064292
>it's missing an important gameplay mechanic or element
yeah, birds flying around a 3D earth.that'll do the trick :^)
>>4064380
Birds are not that important
>>4064425
If you didn't have birds watching over you, you'd have nightmares every night, like people in the UK
>>4064432
You're thinking of angels.
They both have wings, so it's understandable why you got them mixed up.
>>4064644
>64644
impressive
very nice
Here's the feature for tonight. Presets for market orders. Just click Middle East, set your amount, and go.
Mostly focusing on figuring out a new money making system. Going to collect some thoughts and make a post.
Also, Israel is mine and always will be.
I decided to go bankrupt again, and contain my funposting to south america
night-time bump

>>4066071
you're mum is dead inside
>>4066401
nah. yours probably. my mom makes more than both your ugly parents combined faggot.
Holy kitten koboodle. I think I have a way to remove all loading screens. If so, this might make the game a lot funner and a lot faster. If I don't have it done tonight, tomorrow for sure. Keep kekking the world, and please remember to be polite. I've read some foul language, and it skiddidles my privileged soul, so please refrain.
>>4067207
Alrighty allmighty! No more loading screens for buying, claiming, or updating land. The map itself still only updates on page refresh, but that'll be solved soon. This update should make the game much more effortless in the ways it shouldn't be. Buying continents or writing TOPKEK or swazis in the pacific will be much quicker.
>>4066405
When are you going to stop feeding off your mother, and take some responsiblity for yourself?

>>4068305
Game is dead right now. I'll be promoting it once I get the whole game load free. I appreciate the bumps.
The game has stopped working for me,I can't get past the first loading screen...
>>4069120
Fixed, thanks for the heads up!
your game is so so awful. just so bad and not fun terrible. get back to work on esfores.com this shit's a worthless waste of time
I have found an issue; when you buy a land,your money count doesn't change untill you refresh the page.
>>4069377
It's also the same with your other stats (income,land and all that stuff)
Bumping
>>4069302
I know, I'm working on it. Thanks for the feedback, althought the foul language I feel is inappropriate. I will be working on esfores.com as well soon. Could use some ideas for features. Thinking a two panel forum for discussion on the importance of birds.
>>4069377
>>4069387
Yeah, here's what I'm working on tonight.
Ajax Cash and Cash dropdown
Ajax map
Ajax land sales
Ajax leaderboards
Still taking feedback for a new way to make money.
