[h2]~~=the take=~~ event update[/h2]

Yesterday our community began their coordinated attack on zez for our live community PvP event, The Take! Players heated up the war machine, and brought new players into the attack as people took the first day to get up to speed as zez and marto traded blows. It took a bit to warm up the engine

It is estimated that somewhere around 70 Trillion GC has been redistributed around the playerbase.

Some incredible developments, more than 62 Trillion GC has left zez’s hands. Watch this INSANE clip of a 30TGC heist being pulled off in real-time!

232TGC has also gone missing from the user risk, the whereabouts of which are undetermined, and the rumor mill continues to swirl.

Multiple players reported the existence of brand new glam upgrades, the validity of which is still being debated by some players,

All of zez’s previously distributed wealth (which is down approximately 40T at the time of this writing) has been consolidated on a single user, making the attack surface much more focused. Players from the Takers side are expressing that this could be the moment that everyone has been working towards.

We are approaching the halfway point for this PvP event; do the Takers have enough resources to keep the concerted attack going for another ~36 hours? Can they drum up enough support to get the loot?

IMPORTANT UPDATE


[h2]BINMAT DEFENSE CHANGELOG[/h2]

`accts.xfer_gc_to` && `accts.xfer_gc_to_caller` will be disabled while sender is connected to an ongoing BINMAT session. Inbound GC is not affected, but calls to `market` and usage of `escrow` will fail during BINMAT sessions.

These changes to BINMAT will go live at ~~=the take=~~ event start time.

See our previous post or FAQ for event details.

{ . . . }

[Black screen. Slowly, a bright glowing light emerges, camera focuses on CRT monitor which flickers cryptic text across the screen]
In a world plagued with locks, logs and security shells, one adversary has risen to the top… ...hoarding stolen wealth and ruling corps.top with unrivaled domination.

[Zoom out to a dark basement filled with cables, lit only by the pale-blue glow of monitors]
But every system has its vulnerability. Every king has their reckoning.

[a splayed hand pulls tight a fresh leather fingerless glove]
A team of misfits. Coders. Risk-takers — HACKERS A plan so crazy, it just might work.

“You’re crazy if you think this is gonna work.”
But stealing from the biggest, baddest PvP villain in hackmud history…

“One wrong loc and we’re toast.”
...means painting a target on your loc.

[A furious frenzy of fingers typing, a server, a city, close shot on sunglasses. Hoodie up.]
“I'm in.”
[Cut to second hoodied figure.]
“Wait! What’s the plan if we get caught?"
Can they outsmart the ultimate adversary… or will they crash and burn? The stakes are real. The rewards are massive. And the legend is waiting to be written – by you. Assemble your crew, begin your reconnaissance, arm yourselves and take over corps.top.
