NOT HAPPY,
Launching on pad 2 The required amount of points is 2000
So I'm on 1042 points all by myself, I was hijacked......by a stranger
Now I'm in second place, How is that possible ???????

It shouldn't be possible! I'd say open a ticket but we both know that won't get you anywhere.

 

[Frenetta]

Seems to be becoming a habit with you! I can maybe understand if a friend of a friend jumps in, but how does a stranger get in if you're on your own?

And how do they add enough points to overtake you without setting off the launch?

Hi guys. I really need flight catering, if you can send. Please, please. Will send a gift back, just tell me what you need.

And how do they add enough points to overtake you without setting off the launch?

Launch doesn't happen until the launchers exceed (in a blue pad 2 launch) 2000 points. If you had 1042, and he got up to as high as 957 (thus totaling 1999 and not yet setting off the launch), he could add either 120 or 360 and in either case, overtake you for first place while in the same move exceeding the 2000 points and setting off the launch.

Fred is saying that to prevent a malicious player from hijacking, you'd have to exceed 1000 points (and also 1042) to ensure you don't get hijacked. Math tells me that the magic number is 1181. In this case, you have 1181, and that leaves as many as 819 (for a total of 1999) that another player can get without setting off the launch. If they add the max item of 360 to their 819 points, they can only get up to 1179. So you need 1181 to prevent a sole hijacker. 1180 would allow a tie.

AMENDED POST: My bad - 1180 is magic number to prevent hijack. That would result in the other player maxing at 1179. A tie is not probable with this many points.

As far as I know, if its a tie, the launcher who joined first retains the better position.

Your calcs are correct. At least according to my results.

Did you? And did they fix the game? Just wondered before I do the sAme....

Level:40 Pingways, I need: new items for building upgrades, and catering / long distance flight items / duty free items - especially cookies and perfume

Seriously contemplating it, haven't got many greenies left anyway. Told them I am waiting for the airship in a few days time and they seem ok with that, they have finally started talking to me now. Cant help wondering what IOS7 will bring on the 18th, will that fix it anyway or will it all go to hell in a handcart.

Yes please Trog! I'm curious too to hear what happens. I'd do the dance of joy if they finally unlocked our games.

Been battling them for around a month, hope I'm finally wearing them down. They have changed the person dealing with my case and she has now started talking to me rather than just sending out standard rubbish. Think I'll spend my last few greenies when the airship comes in and see where it goes from there.
