Bug: Banned for no reason

More than 9 players in Chinese server be banned for no reason.
They all play solo, have no kids, just do their own work. And suddenly, be banned.
When they got back home from the donkey town(I don’t know how to speak in English. In Chinese, the place of banishment called “donkey town”),they became B1.
After playing for a while, they got banned again. They had to stay in donkey town for a longer time. Then they became B2……
Up to now, we have one B5, three B2, and more and more B1.

Is that a new activity in yah? Like “wrath of God”, ban any player at random?

最近在中国服务器的很多玩家在游戏过程中会无缘无故被驱逐到驴镇,截止目前已经有八名玩家在毫无预兆的情况下被ban,另外,有些玩家在投票驱逐其他人时,只投了一票,游戏就显示对方已被驱逐至驴镇。很多玩家ID上带了B1、B2、B3,甚至B5,我想知道游戏是否哪里出了错?可以恢复正常吗?

Maybe the global banishment server has developed a glitch. We will take a look at it tomorrow.

Thanks for the report!

It turns out that there was a single player who goes around and banishes as much as they can. You regain your banish token after 40 minutes of play and this person plays a lot and banishes a lot too.

It’s not a hack or anything, just someone who has a lot of time and who seems to dislike the rest of the players.

We banished that player now (for bad behavior against others) and we will do it again if they start banishing everyone again once they are back from Donkey Town.

Here is the list of this person’s banish votes:

Thanks for figuring it out for us, but there are still Some questions:

  1. We Chinese players are used to building towns far away from each others. There are only 1~4 players living in one town.It usually takes a few hours to find another town. We also rarely give birth to baby, keep always taking carrot seeds to play solo. How did this guy get such huge amount of IDs?

  2. Recently, players who has been banned only get a “B” Mark and send to donkey town. No one of them got "Regional Limit ".

  3. As we know, in Chinese version of yah,there is a hacking technique that only require a ID to ban others. The guy only need one player’s id to expel others remotely.

For example, on the forum one player posted a screenshot which revealed her personal ID. Then she kept being expelled by that guy till she got banned. (No any contact. No any domestic relations, But still need to comply with the 5-vote banishment rule.)

Here’s what the guy said on the forum: (the picture

Maybe this guy hacked in our server? Inputing random ID to ban random players, so that players who play more frequently will be easier to “get shot”, others will be spared? That’s why someone got B5,someone got B2 orB1,and others are safe. A great disparity.

These banish votes is regular, always a multiple of five. That guy definitely vote only one id five times for banishment!

As you said, all these voting is from one person. How did he vote same id five times from only one single player?

One player can not vote twice in one voting cycle.

Obviously, it’s a Game plug-in.
