Summary of the issue
Winter event 2013 > Tombola > unlimited buffs glitch.
Overview of the bug (description):
After winning ANYTHING on the tombola, you may Activate it(them) unlimited times.
Steps to reproduce:
I.*Spin the tombola.
II.*Win ANY of the buffs
III.*BEFORE you activate the buff, click on the headquarters (click on any link you want, it all has the same effect) the reason for this is: If you click on a link, it'll move the page 'forward'
IV*hit the browsers 'Back' button
V*Activate the buff of your choice.
VI*Hit 'Forward' on your browser
VII.***REPEAT steps IV-VI as many times as you'd like***
Reproduction rate (Every time? Sometimes?):
every time
Browser and Version:
Maxthon v4.2.0.3000
Visual Reference if available (Screenshot) please put them in a spoiler.:
Edit:
•I can not take screenshots as the event has now ended, and I can not repeat the steps because the pages for the Winter Event have been taken down. (I just noticed the bug an hour before the event ended)
Example of what would happen
• First you would spin the Tombola
•An award is given
•The award is counted up
-EX: (Overabundance

Owned: 1)
•Click on a link (not the activate button)
•After the new page loads, Click the 'Back' button.
•Back on the Tombola page, activate the buff of choice (I use Overabundance as an example)
•The buff is counted off and activated

•Click the 'Forward' button in your browser
•After the page loads, go about your business (ad to queue etc) until you are ready to activate the buff again
•Click the 'Back' button in your browser to go back to the Tombola page
•Back on the Tombola page, Click 'Activate' on your buff again
•The buff now counts negative

Owned: -1)
•Repeat the steps I mentioned earlier, each time the buff will count further negative.
During the event, every time I tried this, The buff would count one more to the negative, then I would go to my next tab which was set to my headquarters. When I refresh the HQ page, my resources (using Overabundance as the example) were replenished to the +30 or 50%. I then used some resources to recruit troops or add a building to the queue. Then I refreshed the HQ page and saw that the resources I had spent were taken as they should have.
Then I repeated the glitch, and my resources were once again replenished. This worked every single time, until the event ended.
