New problem with Host Hunt you should be aware of
flamanar:
OK...anyone see a problem with these 2 pictures? Anyone? :??:
These screenshots were taken during both host games yesterday. The top one is from the afternoon game with Dragon, the bottom is from the evening game. Notice how the computer was automagically selecting the SECOND person who said the correct line...instead of the first?
There was yet a third time I noticed the software making a mistake last night. During a different round, someone said "I found HOST_Dragon/" (note the extra ' / ' on the end of the line?), and the line appeared on the screen above the winner! Obviously, the line shouldn't have appeared at all (only one person is able to say the correct line during each round...and this line should not have even WORKED).
Made a call to Gail last night and she said that Dragon had a brownout in the morning game. I said that it also happened in the evening game as well. Not really a solid answer to the second statement, but was told to forward the screenshots to their email address.
So: be very alert when you play the host game for the time being. If you should have won and you see a bubble showing you said it correctly...yet another person was selected as the winner instead...TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF IT IMMEDIATELY (if you don't know how to take a screenshot, now is a good time to learn ;) ). Report the problem using the help button as soon as possible. Send the screenshot as an attachment to support@virtualfamilykingdom.com , along with an explanation.
Not sure that I convinced Gail, but I feel that there is a problem with the software they use to detect the winner during the host hunt. This is the first time I've ever seen this happen, so I'm wondering if it's just Dragons software that is messed up. Hopefully they will get it straightened out.

OK, that's really strange. I didn't think you could even say "I found HOST_Dragon" if you weren't the first person. Have they changed this? I know I've been in the same room before when Harmony or Dragon have walked in, and because I wasn't first, my speech bubble NEVER appeared on the screen at all; only the blue winner's bubble appeared. Figured that's how the computer program worked.
But arg, Flame, since you blacked out the ppl's bubbles (ok I have to ask WHY? I see some of you do this regularly...), did you happen to win in either of those instances??? :??:

Yes, Pink: only the winning person is supposed to be able to say the correct line. Not so last night.
Blacked out bubbles: I do it for 2 reasons:
1) some people are privacy freaks, and I didn't ask anyone in those pics whether they minded me posting their pics (just a courtesy thing that Flame and others do). Sometimes I will not black out the bubbles if it's during a public function like a birthday party or a ballroom dance. However, the main reason I did it in this situation is because of the following reason:
2) I keep the majority of my clones private (yes...I do have more than 1 clone :) ). I reveal them to nobody except Flamanette. Yes there is a reason for that :)
...and I won one of those rounds and lost the other. Blech.

Uh oh... I'd better be on my best behavior from now on and behave myself for I never know when "Flame" might be in the same room, lol.
Congrats on the win! :clapping:
