So I would go as far as to say, don't edit this if you plan on going online OR if you are going to edit, make SURE EVERYTHING adds up from whatever you edit. You want to add 500,000 cr, make sure you edit your stats appropriately to show that you somehow gained that 500,000cr (with the appropriate XP) legitimately. (There is no guaranty that you will not be banned if doing this since no one is completely sure how they are figuring it out, but it is THE safest route besides not editing)
