Chapter 1: the cause
Player Z is driving around the island, not looking at his fuel gage he carelessly runs out!
Player X selflessly decides 20 of his 45 valuble fuel to Player Z.
Chapter 2: The Affect part 1
Player X then drives off, but realises that he hasn't lost any fuel and still has the 45 he started with, when he should only have 25 left!
Player Z now with 20 fuel push's the cursor foward key to accelarate (thinking he has 20 fuel) and with the fuel showing in his gage he thinks he can carry on playing! when he tries to move all of his fuel disappears! its gone from him and not on his fuel gage and hes stuck again!
Chapter 3: The affect part 2
If player Z originally had 20 fuel, and then Player X thoguht he would help him, by giving him Y amount more, then this is what happens :-
Player Z tried to move with this new fuel 20 + Y and straight away he loses ALL his fuel includeing the 20 he had before, so now he is fuelless and Player X has lost him fuel from his good deed gone wrong!
Chapter 4: The Soloution!
When Player X gives player Z fuel, before player Z tries to move he should relog Straight away! Then when he comes back on and moves he will be able to move and have the new fuel without loseing any!
Player X will still have his fuel!
Chapter 6: The problem with the soloution
This Bug creates FREE fuel which was not made by any player! this means owning a fuel station is pointless! since any player at any given time can do this with his mate or famiyl member to get free fuel, and save his money to buy a shinny new vehicle!
Chapter 7: The End
