Sorry about the double post, but I want to sum things up. First of all, this bug was abused by at least three players over the course of last week. As well as at least one two weeks before that.

What we did was not to attempt to exploit a bug and win. It was to make sure that bug that was being abused got noticed, and was fixed. Everyone who participated knew that we planned to report it. We (or at least most of us) expected to lose our cards and scoops. We wanted to even the playing ground, the only way we could think of. Consider that bug reports had been filed three weeks before this week, and gone unnoticed. It’s obvious that one or two people alone wouldn’t do anything. It needed to be large-scale. And it was.
