Can someone explain the log outputs and how people are making plunder from non-KO assassinations and scouts? Look for yourself, here are a few of about 300 log entries with plundering from assassinations and scouts from a war I was just in...( I have one in there that is a KO so you can see what it looks like if you do not already know.) _TrApOlOgY_ successfully assassinates O0l0lClI_IlHII-llAIl_IlXIO0lIO. _TrApOlOgY_ makes 464,512 plunder contribution, loses 11,799 (3%) spies.

What part, the log is showing plunder that didn't happen or are people actually making the plunder from assass and scouts? Do you have a link to the post mentioning this, I have found nothing?
Its not real plunder taken into account Its plunder contribution 2 different things but hard to explain

Check Pvp Vs D1 war, D1 had scouts and Assassinations yet still 0 total plunder, so no it doesn't add to war plunder (few weeks old)
From what i hear its a log issue bug. Itll show the plunder in the log but it wont register in war plunder total
After a lot of e-mails back and forth, first with feedback (which didn't really know much, frankly) and finally with a developer who DID know his stuff, hopefully I can explain this in a way that makes sense for everyone. We do need to go into a little history for this to make sense, so buckle up. In the early days of EE wars, rewards for your effort in EE wars (mithril especially) were SOLELY tied to the amount of plunder you earned for your team (whether through attacking, stealing or KOs). The spy heavy builds--correctly IMHO--argued that their assassinations and scouts of enemy builds, while not generating any plunder, also contributed to a war win. The devs recognized this to be true and so they created a system where every successful action receives a coded VALUE -- but not necessarily plunder. Fast forward to the present day. The devs now show us the battle logs. When the battle logs were made available to the KaW general public, we did not understand that PLUNDER CONTRIBUTION and GOLD GAINED were two different things. So, looking at the logs quoted, BloomKids successfully assassinates Nighthawk_FPBO_1. BloomKids makes 3,630,046 plunder contribution, loses 9,039 (2%) spies. Nighthawk_FPBO_1 loses 54 (4%) soldiers. This assassination resulted in a PLUNDER CONTRIBUTION of 3,630,046-- but not gold. FlaRe-OnThe-Battlefield successfully scouts BigassBizz. FlaRe-OnThe-Battlefield makes 2,376,569 plunder contribution, loses 8,211 (2%) spies. BigassBizz loses 7,612 (2%) spies. This scout resulted in a PLUNDER CONTRIBUTION of 2,376,569--but not gold. Now looking at a successful hit for gold -- sorry I couldn't find OP's original log, so I used a recent war: I_I_I-CLOUD-I_I_I successfully attacks Vaquero-SE. I_I_I-CLOUD-I_I_I gains 5,750,206 gold, loses 765 (3%) soldiers. Vaquero-SE loses 53 (4%) soldiers. This attack resulted in a "GAINS 5,750,206 GOLD" This is a plunder making action. Hopefully that clears it up -- a PLUNDER CONTRIBUTION from Assassinations or Scouts, is only relevant in distributing rewards at the end of the match. However it is GOLD GAINED, that determines who wins the match. Make sense? TL/DR -- In the language of the war logs "plunder contribution" does not count towards who wins only gold gained does.
Yes, the last part was the main part that helped me understand that the contribution is really another way of saying the player has added contribution points to his/her total effort points from his/her scout or assass action. I would imagine the player's total plunder and total contributions are added together to give the total amount of effort made by the player made for the war which I am guessing is used to determine their rewards for that war.
