Abstract

A player-exploitable game condition is monitored within a game. In certain versions, the play of certain players can be monitored, logged, and then examined. In one version, the monitoring includes comparing some quantifiable player activity against some threshold value. In one version, the monitoring is based on the rate at whish the player is acquiring virtual property.
