Host Hunt Bug-Part Deux (aka, "here we go again")
flamanar:
Yes...it's back. Rather than resurrecting the long, old and tired thread about this, I decided to start a new one so it would be easier to follow.
I've heard rumblings from other people for the last couple hunts about them saying the line right...but the second person winning. I've now seen it myself. In fact, I saw it around 3 times today! Here's a pic from the hunt today:
Notice how the first person said it right and the line appeared...but the second person won...and their line had a "!" at the end of it, AND 'HOST' was not capitalized! Also, remember that ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE ROOM IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO SAY THE HOSTS TITLE ONCE THE HOST APPEARS.
Please take the time to report this bug whenever/ifever you see it. I reported these today even though I wasn't the one who got shafted...in hopes that VFK would award the rightful winner the award. I ask that you please take the time to do the same. If necessary, take a screen shot and paste it into Microsoft Paint and come back to it after the hunt to report it (which is typically what I do). The last time this happened, it went on for months...before being brought up on another forum...which resulted in it being fixed within a day or 2. :hmm:
Flamanar...not again :groan:

Oh my goodness! I had no idea this was so wide spread! This happened to me today! I won, but I was the second person to say it correctly (and I know the example you posted isn't from the room I was in because I didn't say it with an "!" after Dragon).
After I won, I sent a help report to staff asking them to review it because I felt like the person who said it before me should have received the prize. I told them my words came up with blue around them but someone said it correctly before me. This is the response I received back from them:
I don't understand it. I saw the girl's words come up before mine and they looked totally perfect! Unfortunately she popped out of the room before I could give her the prize and she's not on my friends list. I hope she eventually won in a different room.

Wow...thanks for doing the honest thing, Sunday. (hugs)
Did you also send a picture so they could see that the other person said it first? If not, in the future try to get a quick screenshot and send it to the following email address along with a complete explanation of what happened:
support@virtualfamilykingdom.com
They can't dispute a picture. ;) Most times I send a very brief help report in game right away, and end it with "I will send in a screenshot after the hunt is over".
I would also argue with them a little over the fact that you saw the other person say the line. Again: only ONE person in the room is supposed to be able to say the hosts title once they enter the room.
(hugs) again for trying to do the right thing. It's refreshing to see honesty being displayed by VFK players. Too often, I see the opposite.

I tried to get the screen shot, but I wasn't thinking and copied something else before pasting the picture. :doh: But yeah, that is the best method to "prove" the error.
Did they respond to your messages? I wonder if they ever correct the error or if they just always go with the one that pops up in blue, no matter what.

Since it is a computer that senses the answer, there might be an extra space that is invalidating the answer? I have had this happen in quests, where I had an extra space before the sentence starts where it wouldn't advance the quest.
