Will I be frozen?
Fri Mar 11, 2005 8:46 pm
Okay, so I had a Lost Desert Scratchcard, and I wanted to sell it. It wouldn't show up in my inventory, so I started to scratch. Thne, right in the middle, I checked my inventory. Still nothing. So, I went back and rescratched, only to realise that it was reset after I went to my inventory. I won a sandball, or whatever. I'm wondering, will I be frozen for abusing a glitch?

I wouldn't have thought so, it was only something tiny and I doubt that tnt would even realise it happened. If it makes you feel better though donate the sand snowball to the money tree or something.

Phew, I think I might donate it. I know it's small, but you know TNT, freezing people for the smallest of things, or even nothing! Same with warnings, though I haven't received any on the time that I've been on Neo. (Part of the reason why is that I can't go on the neoboards, where people report others for no reason)

There was a glitch with those cards originally that might still exist where you could reset the card to make it unscratched and scratch again - but you will only ever win what you would have won first time scratching....maybe that's what happened? In which case I'm pretty sure tnt has said in the past that it's no biggie as you can't abuse it.

Yeah I noticed this glitch myself, It's not so much of a big deal, like was said, your only going to get what you would have gotten in the first place...most tickets if your able to win on it your gonna win, most if you lose there's not much chance that you ever would have won.

That happened to me too about a week ago. I filed a bug report and discarded the scratchcard. No response

Seriously, there is no need to get all worked out over something as minor as this. I have tested this out many times, refreshing the card after scratching 5 or even 6 boxes, but I always get the same scratches (even if I scrached different boxes).
TNT said clearly that refreshing wouldn't work, and even assuming it is illegal (which it isn't), donating the snowball to the money tree won't help you in anyway. Really, sometimes you just have to exercise common sense, rather than worrying over whether minor and undetectable stuff will get you frozen

You can continuously scratch over and over and over again. Spaces show up in the same order, and you can only claim once I believe. So it is not a glitch, really.
