I had a horror story where I couldn't play for a week. Then I found out Meaford has free Wifi access. Grim's not catching up this week!!!

I only need one more mission to get promoted, 0 CR, 1 hour to regen enough for the mission. And 4 fails in a row.

Sad panda.

I've just started playing this game, so I would say that my worst story is not having enough Milpoints.

That's everyone's worst story

Every time I catch up to Puckchaser or surpass him a little BLAMO he jumps two or three levels again!

He;s doing on purpose toying with me!

I lost 8 in a row 2 days ago. Mission was 34% chance... but of course I got the daily challenge of losing 8 in a row which was more than 1000 mil points. Fair trade really!!!

Hmmm I have 250 Attention to detail and got an Int pack for..... +1

Accidentally buying a 2nd LAV III for 1200 MP's when I only meant to buy one......DOH!

This morning, I failed to drink a Timmies ending a 64 mission streak, then in the real world I failed to drink a Timmies, cover was loose and ended up wearing part of a double double.

crooks.a · « **Reply #40 on:** October 27, 2010, 10:36:47 »

I spent nine merit points on Initiative for a 3 second gain and 1200MPs. I'm still regretting it.

lol, It's entirely possible the game was just trying to warn you! I'm going to use this example the next time someone says it's unrealistic to fail a simple mission like that!

I've just failed 3 missions in a row (75-78% each) since last night... any one of them would have been enough CE for a promotion, but here I sit...

UPDATE `smf_ao_players` SET `cr_current` = '1000' WHERE `player_ID` = '1';

Impressive! How did you discover the field names? It wouldn't work though, as my player_ID is not my Army.ca ID.

Would the player ID be your Facebook ID? If so, then I can appropriately adjust my query.

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #46 on:** October 28, 2010, 10:00:14 »

Heheh, yep. I can tell I'm going to have to keep my eye on you.

I made the error message a bit more friendly, as this made me realize it wasn't helpful to most people as is...

Well, I would assume that you have used mysql_real_escape_string() (or something similar) with all of your queries, so doing a MySQL injection would be a bit of a challenge.

I like the new error message, by the way.

Yep, information security is my day job, so I try to be careful... but that doesn't mean it's bulletproof. If you find anything nasty, I'd just ask you come to me with it first. I'll make it worth your while.

Oh don't worry. I'm one of those nice programming types -- I have the ability to do harmful things, but I don't.

I've had stuff like that happen to my websites and whatnot before, so I've learned the hard way that it's just not a nice thing to do.
