A glitch that makes your population go up higher then it should everyday. It doubles the population you would normally get. Such as-
If you get 5 a day, you know get 10 a day.
Also doubles your amount of issues. The bug has been fixed for the most part though.

I don't know of any way you can get it on purpose. How does she think you can get it?

Um - that would be the infamous "Tyrone bug" - at least that's the closest I've seen people get to "purposely get" the pop bug.
However, Madrigals, you should tell your friend that this bug is illegal and is being fixed as we speak ;)

i wouldn't call it cheating, since there wasn't any rule against this ;)
just a funny little trick.
i have no interest in doing this, but how do you artificially raise your population

Salusa said he'd tell us as soon as he made it impossible for us to do it. Takes all the fun out of it, really.
