A rapid increase in event goal points

[Skub lite]

I checked my Live Your Profits leaderboard about 1 hour ago and saw that none of the other players on my leaderboard had a score beyond 40,000. I just rechecked it now (only 1 hour later) and someone appeared out of nowhere with 400,000 points. Gaining 400,000 points in the span of an hour seems physically impossible, even if someone spent copious amounts of money (for context, that's 6,666 points per minute, which means that they'd have to get lucky enough to roll three of the uncommon 2,000 point goals that you can only have one of at a time, every single time, and also turn all three of those goals in within a minute, and then on top of that have the luck to get (on average) 3 rare goals per minute pretty much every single time for several dozens of times back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Am I right to assume that this person is almost certainly cheating? Is there any way in the world that this person isn't cheating?

if you start the event then disconnect your internet, then gain points in the event, then reconnect your internet you can get your points all at once.

I would not recommend adjusting your system clock.

Live Your Profits? That may have been me (although LYP was the previous event for me, and I think Cashalot was what I was playing on the 3rd...). I ended with a bit under 400k points, although I think I was over 80k and in 2nd place before I really knuckled under to kick them into overdrive, so it wouldn't have been "out of nowhere".
LYP is easily breakable without cheating, once you figure out how the game chooses what your challenges and rewards are. There is no need to adjust your system clock at all, and I'm pretty sure that such time warps would actually SLOW points progression for the same reason.

BTW, when you're beyond about 80k points, the golden goals give 4700 points apiece, not 2000. They scale a bit as you increase your reward level (I think that's how it determines WHEN to increase their value), but seem to cap out there. The regular goals also increase a bit, so completing a full set of 4 goals including a gold would give about 5500-6000 points.

I think it might've been someone different. Their name was Ali Shakaali, and they went from not even being anywhere in the top of the leaderboard (if I had to guess, they had less than 20,000 points) to having 400,000 points in the span of a single hour. I didn't even see them rack up points (ex. go from 20,000 to 25,000 to 30,000 to 35,000 etc., all the way up to 400,000); I just checked the leaderboard one hour and they weren't anywhere in the top scorers, and then I checked again an hour later and they had 400,000 points, without any inbetween. This was about 1 day into the event that this happened, and then they didn't try to score any more points for the remaining 4 days.

Yeah, that's not me. I've got some auto-generated name because I can't set it to anything in particular. With a few good suits from previous events, it's definitely *possible* to get to the break point in a day or two then skyrocket like that without any cheats. I'll probably see how early I can max one out, once I'm doing one I've beaten before. As far as stopping early... why keep going so hard if it's clear no one else is catching up?

rapid increase. have any of you spent money in store for multiply?. i have and im at 1.3 mill points. some people pay to play. if you use the store thats how they pay to make the game you guys all first say its a cheater. but i will agree the 1 bill points guy was cheating

FYI, Events have a booster right? Did you know you can click the icon for the booster to reduce the timer to then activate the booster? Also while you click the booster you also get a bit of a speed boost. Lastly, If you are not claiming Your investors frequently to speed run. I don't know if you even truly know how to play the game. When I see I start making investors I claim at the 100, 500, 1000, 2000 ect. The value rapidly grows. It is the best way to speed farm the event. I always make sure that the investors are always more than the current value being displayed. I never claim them if they are below what I already have,

I generally start the event thursday or friday morning, and actually really start getting points later on, because on the early days you get the limited time quests for 2000 but later on they go up to 3400 and 3700,

I normally use the booster + boost outfit + 3 hour time skip when I reach the end of the upgrades. after doing that points seem to come easy enough.

An overall score in the millions sounds totally reasonable to me, but getting 400,000 points in the span of a single hour seems unfathomable. Out of curiosity, do you know how many points per hour you usually get? I don't have a good baseline for how fast players gain points, so it would be pretty useful to hear
