Posted Aug 24, 2022, 2:12 am 		event 1143397

driving home our origonal 3 buzzers and a loot car from scout before, this was a gates return, we bolt as low ammo from first fight, i get to 350 and escape, haeywood not far behind, his new buzzer demmoes the round before escaping, hes at 342m and his confident loot car escaped round before and a round after i already did, and he looses his buzzer, my camp takes a 22 point fame loss and my leader goes from 1930 leader to 1922 kleader, thats bs imo it takes 3 or 4 scouts to get 1 leader point and i loose a8 from that and haeywood looses his buzzer, thats total bull####.

Posted Aug 25, 2022, 2:34 am 		please look into this event, ive done probably over 50,000+ events and ive never seen a buzzer with no dammage at 342m ready to escape demo with 2 gangers in the car, something is off with this, ive had gangers stress demo before but they were being shot at with a breech close, never like this, very frustrating that the post is being ignored, if yer not gunna do a job of helping paying players with a problem, thats pretty crappy.

Also, you know that a vehicle with 0 damage does not determine if it will auto demo, it is the stress and courage of the characters inside it. The only thing I could see is that the buzzer demos after spanky escaped his vehicles first. That could have caused a stress change enough to cause a demo. But how I viewed it, the buzzer most likely should not have auto demoed due to not taking any damage or even being fired upon. Even the distance, 342 meters should have been far away enough to keep from an auto demo. I will restore Haeywoods buzzer. Sam will have to make any other fixes since I do not have access in those areas to do so.

% Player vehicle driven by Richard Mitchem is trying to resign because: on command from player
% Richard Mitchem: distance from an enemy vehicle is only 649.486 so escape is not possible
% Player vehicle driven by Richard Mitchem cannot escape and will therefore surrender
% Richard Mitchem surrenders


What happened here was that Haeywood resigned the whole gang rather than escaping the first car and waiting another turn to escape the 2nd car. I'm sure this was an accident -- but it does look like user error rather than bug.

I'll give your leader back the missing 8.5 leadership skill, Darth.

Thank you both for looking into this, reviewing the scout, and restoring the car. That was great to see this morning :D

Sam I am sure you are correct and user error was at fault, I will pay more attention in the future it just never dawned on me that it could auto demo with the distance to the other cars and no damage and the gangers I had in the car.

Thank you both for helping!!!!

The two gangers that were in that buzzer, still show as traveling? I don't see a foots squad to process, so I am not sure how I get them back to Firelight?

Any suggestons?

I can see "Footsquad what you talkin bout Willis" in your gang listing. I've set it to auto-arrive to FL so hopefully it will do so in a few mins.
