Remove cheat keys from challenge games

[jones45]

A player by the name Andriilavrov has taken the number one position on the current food and beverage challenge game. He made almost 5 trillion in two years with an annual profit of about 1 billion... I opened a new challenge game to test whether cheat keys can be used in one. And indeed they could be. One could add as much money to their company as one liked.

So it´s quite obvious that there is no point to have challenge games if such cheats are available. Either the cheats should be removed from challenge games or then we should not have challenge games anymore.

I just did a test by starting the Food and Beverage Challenge game with the player name "VentureCapitalist" and ran it for 3 years.

Then I enabled the cheat and added $100M to my cash. Once the cheat mode was enabled, the server refused to take scores from my game.

As you can see in the attached screenshot. My cash amount at 1994 is not ignored by the challenge game system, as seen in the ranking page: http://www.capitalismlab.com/capserver/ ... enge_games

How do you suppose he jumped from 6,6 billion in cash to 4,7 trillion in cash in two years then? His annual profit was at the start of the two year period 1,16 billion and at the end 1,17 billion so basically no difference there. Seems to me that there has to be some sort of a glitch then if cheats were not used.
