Farming Oracle? Allowed? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=21196.msg270864#msg270864

I noticed that after the oracle spin, the game isn't save until you go back to menu, in other words, you can spin, then close the window, open another one, log in, and spin again, and repeat the progress until you get a nymph...

this would mean you can have every nymph in less than half a year...
is this allowed?
also, can this be fixed? make it save right after the spin would fix it

The game is saved just after you enter the oracle. If you close your page your game will be wasted.

Edit: The post above this one is a lie.

You actually can't do this.  And in either case...discussing potential exploits in the open is NEVER a good idea.  If this is something you feel needs to be brought to zanz's attention then contact him ASAP and hope he fixes the issue.

When you can replicate it, you should talk with kael. Because he has a technique found that no one can replicate. So this can help to fix it.
I had the impression you took advantage of an in-game bug to spin daily nymphs for a long while.
Nope.

There was a bug back when you could cancel the Oracle and spin again. It was reported by me and some others. That was before I was Gmod.
More recently, I suggested that the technique I use now is capitalisation of flawed design, but no-one can replicate it and zanz ignores it so I guess its not a bug at all.

Your method does not appear to work. There is a save before the wheel will spin in the first place.
If you are capable of exploiting this then you should proove it and report to zanz via his email ( game.elements@gmail.com ) and not post that information here.
