new cybervillage feature - Stealing

You can now steal

. You can rob the bank or steal from someone (wallet). Stealing from someone is probably the easiest route at the moment because I can guarantee no one bought any items yet from the mall.

So if you're one of those persons you better stack up quick before it's too late.

Everything has been tested well enough and it seems to be working great, only thing I did not test yet is winning a steal when the user has items, but I think I will create a test account to make sure it works like intended but I think all should be good.

Or I might just steal from a real member.

haha either you got stealed from already or you put all your ICs in the bank.

Actually weirdojb has the most money... for now.

He has a PowerX LaserTEK force field generator which can take up to 50000 damage so here I am attacking with grenades with 5000 damage... he probably bought like 10 of these.

If tak put all his money in the bank, I'm looking for a bank robber to come along soon!

Yep, especially if his account is one of 10 with most cash.

Right now there's less then 10 accounts actually, but that will change once people get robbed from their wallet.

It's harder to rob the bank then to steal from a wallet. But it depends, good protection can well prevent getting your wallet stolen as well. Also, when it does get stolen, it's a random ammount that's removed, unlike robbing the bank, where it empties the account.

Hmmm we hit a serious problem. php, or any programming language for that matter has this stupid limit of how high a number can go, and I was stealing from an account where the number is higher, and it screwed up the calculation. I think I'll have to set a limit of ICs per account.
