Two players have abused the "system" and the staff of Innogames have ignored their own rules to allow play to continue with no correction other than to report a "glitch" that has been corrected. This is a play on words - since something has to be corrected then something was wrong with the game program. If it had to be corrected then it can be called glitch, bug, error, or any other term that would cause a program to operate not as intended.
Now, let's examine the players - A) Demona008 - had previous experience in Tribal Wars by playing US4 - B) Dragonfly275 - had previous experience in US1, US2, US3, US4 and US5. while the case may be made that Player A did not have much experience, certainly player B does. After only 6 days of this world being open Player A has 5620 points and 2 villages and Player B has 3204 points and two villages. There are 2962 players in world 6, 2910 of these have point (minimum of 26) while thetope 20 players have under 1000 EXCEPT for the two mentioned above.
In a normal world it takes about 6 days for an average player to obtain a Stable with scouts and Light Cavalry. Then to gather enough resources to build an Academy takes another three weeks because of the support needed (warehouse and farm large enough to provide room for resources). Then building only one Noble along with training requires even more resources and support. A player that devoted long hours to reach this point has spent at least six weeks before being able to attack and capture another village. Both player A and B have done so in SIX DAYS. With past experience both players had to have known something was not right.
According to the rule:
Did Player A and B have experience in the game? - Yes
Should Player A and B have known about a fault in programing, because of previous experence? - Yes
Did Player A and B take advantage of a fault in programing for their own use? - Yes
Did Player A and B notify Innogames about the fault in programming? - NO
Has anything been done other than correcting the fault like compensating other players, removal of advantage gained, or restricting the use of the advantages gained? - NO
It has been stated that over the length of the game this will even out and have no effect. many people "brag" about their accomplishments in Tribal Wars - Conqueror , Score champion, and Daily Awards. Conqueror is already taken as I am sure Score Champion and several Daily awards will also be taken by the two "leaders" of US6.
This leaves aa bad taste in my mouth. The handling of this has not been correct. The staff is covering their own butts and backing a poor solution behind one of their members. I have spent time and money along with sleepless nights on this "game" but can no longer sit on the sidelines watching while unfair advantages are allowed. Yes over the long run things will even out, but I am in the here and now. And here and now should be the same for everyone, not a select few that do not follow the rules and a staff that does not enforce the rules.
Now will I drop this matter - just so you can get on with your lives? No, as I still have invested heart and soul playing this "game". I have been told that tribal Wars will suck the soul right out of your body - that it is additive and difficult to quit. What I heard is right. And until the time I can stop thinking about this game I will be angry at the manor in which the staff has handled this situation.

According to the rule:
Ask yourself these questions:10.2 It is prohibited to exploit bugs or faults in the games' programming and in the course of the game which could represent an advantage for the User for personal and/or third party purposes. Should the User discover any bugs, he/she must notify InnoGames without delay. As far as the player has derived benefits herefrom, these - as far as possible - shall be reimbursed. If the bugs or errors were intentionally exploited, this can lead to a termination of the Licensing Agreement and a deletion of the account.
