Can you show me an image please. As a note, if you can, always provide an image over just the text. Can Aksel reproduce it? If so I can jump on their account after duplication and check it out.

Do you get the error? Has anyone been able to reproduce this?

720 plushies - 360 @MaGoHi + 360 from me

I have been asking Death Ray what I need to provide for places 1-4, I am still unclear.

Thanks all. So story time! Yesterday quite late after I had been busy I was informed that Petrify was not working properly and it had been earlier that day. So I spent some time immediately checking into the code as it was deemed important in the HC. As I was rushing I was checking the petrify item and not the petrify spell. The petrify Item runs for 30 minutes although the code, structure, etc, is very similar. This is important later. Digging into the casting code I found an odd feature where any spells that run set up a trigger, but then if they are cast on others they are then deleted and re-created using a different set of parameters. Because of name shadowing and a few different variable names this actually caused a bug whereby: Petrify runs, trigger created with X minutes Petrify deleted from triggers Petrify trigger re-created, with different params and using a new variable This is pretty deep into the code and it looks like it has been around for a while but I have now fixed it. However after fixing it I still didn't see petrify being cast for 30 minutes. This is where I left it as I didn't have time to debug and it was already much past midnight for me. Today I investigated again and noticed that I had the wrong spell file, finding the correct spell file did indeed show me that the petrify spell follows the same pattern for spell casting. So the petrify spell has never lasted for 30 minutes. Long story short, Petrify spell level 1 has the standard 8 minute cast duration, it has always been the case. There was a bug that was affecting some items which have a special "longer" duration, but these are now fixed again. If you have any questions, feel free to post or message me!

Apart from Petrify, are there any other spells that we think should last longer than 8 minutes by default?

Thanks go to @Else @Ledah and @Sunfire for noticing and helping me test

It looks like for some reason the default spell casting code (which sets a level 1 duration spell at 8 minutes) is overriding movelock, attacklock, petrify, and probably others. Luckily the HC has uncovered this. I'm going to go over the code to work out what ones need changing, Please be aware spells may be lasting for shorter periods than you expect.

I was not asked to only make it work for specific people so that’s expected. That does seem odd, I will check the increase. The scoring probably won’t give you score however in those scenes and will diminish your heads at a similar rate at you gain them

Death Ray has informed me that some people have claimed that the contest is being rigged by some players. If you have concerns about specific players please contact me directly, all comments will be investigated thoroughly and with complete secrecy, thank you.

I'm not seeing this, the last cycle everyone online gained heads. Even the dead!

Just a display issue, ignore it. Display ignore, scoreboard has not been updated. Some people were marked as previous winners and weren't getting score. That should be fixed. If you are offline that might occur. This is fine

I have made some changes to entirely disable boss heads contest from being run to see if that was interfering.

For anyone who thinks heads/score isn't working please post: What happened (in detail) What happened to your heads What happened to your score What you expected to happen What mindpower you are If you have won heads before If you have won boss heads before If you are in an rpc group (If you don't know what this means, say so) what location you were in (Coordinate and name please)

253 plushies

Chatting to a friend, it seems like this late addition caused some problems for them. This was not my intention and was merely because I was busy doing all the other organisation and when writing the post I missed it. As I have said before (but it seems no one believes me 😅) there is so much organising to be done which means I am unable to reply to some things promptly. In future auctions, if nothing else is listed in the initial post but I had originally intended it to be, I will ensure the creatures match the original post entirely. In this instance I would remove all their age and tokens. This will then ensure that the auction will not change halfway through. Apologies again for this, While I always intended to have this present as an extra piece of "Anniversary Magic" I did not intend to have it cause problems.

May? I "hide" the information in announcements, no one (apparently not even Death Ray) reads them!

Hi all, Since a few people have contacted me asking whats going on, I will summarize: I am waiting on various decisions from Death Ray about the contest I'm not clear on the location where its starting, or why we need to go there I'm not sure about the rules with respect to where you can go during the contest I do not know when it will start I do not know how long stage 2 will last, or the locations it will be run in I am hoping DR will clarify this before the contest starts

FYI I noticed this at GoE: I do not believe this is a prank but @death ray can you confirm what you want participants to do please. Edit: actually I'm not sure what scene he means...

I am signing up so that I can win and kill Ledah twice.
