Inaccurate Family Fight Data: Too Many Fights & Fights Lost

Share:

Many families may not realize this (I didn’t) but there has been a mysterious and erroneous addition to the number of fights your family has performed sometime in the last 38 days. Thanks to Mark Markus, the Godfather of the Vgttt Family, this has been brought to light. If you look at your number of fights in game and compare it to the last update of the Spockholm Family Ranks Spreadsheet, you should notice that the number of fights shot way up. For those who don’t care about inaccuracy this wouldn’t be a big deal but only the ‘Fights’ statistic was padded and not the ‘Fights Won’. Zynga doesn’t have a fights lost category but it can be calculated from the 2 that are given. The result is that all families will now have a very inflated Fights Lost variable. I’ll use the {ASS} Family as an example. Viewing the last spreadsheet update 38 days ago, we had 5,037,288,250 fights lost. Today we have 11,623,140,104! According to the statistics, in 38 days there were more fights (all lost) than there were for the entire 3 years that the family module has been around [1]. With the {ASS} Family this could be explained away because many enjoy attacking us. The example below that is from one of the strongest families in the game and you will see that something isn’t right in SmellsVille. Obviously there is a terrible mistake and like the lost ices from about two and a half years ago, it may never be corrected [1]. Team Spockholm will wait a bit for the next update and hopefully can figure out a way to restore the data in the spreadsheet. It may not be possible and I don’t know if Zynga will even try. It will be a big mess for them to deal with.

The EXTREME ⋞€⋟Family is a group of very strong fighters. It’s highly unlikely that that they lost 50,922,881,788 fights in the past 38 days. Especially when you consider the fact that in 3 years they had 25,149,335,708 fights on record. Families who are well known for being strong and have a low fights lost statistic should be very angry about this mistake and Zynga should look into fixing it before it’s too late. If it already is then once again there are more useless statistics on the Family Module.

  1. Typical Zynga. Not a care in the world about people and families that are in it for fighting.

  2. There appear to be many weirdnesses happening lately. My New York banking has been messed up for a week now. I lost all of my unbanked trillions, can't keep any money gained because it just disappears down to zero with a refresh even if my health is below 20 and I do a ton of jobs. I can't deposit any money because it says I lost it in a fight even when my health is below 20, and it happens every time. This is seriously messing with my game. Soon I'll be out of money to heal in NY with the small amount I had in the bank a week ago. Supposedly Zynga sent it to the black hole of the game team. I guess it's more or less permanently broke.

  3. people actually care about stats in this game still? I figured that with all the health auto healing and scripts no one gave a crap anymore about it, especially since it doesn't effect your game at all.
