So my nice streak came to a end after i ran Paranoid Panorama.

If they are the “same” forum then why do they have different battle urls? It is list in both Forums and the Community Forums, so if you are like me you just run the forums in order,, and guess what??? when you get to that one your streak ends… i wouldn’t really care but it ended my 52nd streak…

I and im sure others would like to see them counted as separate forums so this does not keep happening.

I endorse this message.

Same thing happened to me last week.

Seriously guys, its really easy to figure it out. If one of your guys is before the saiyantology mission do this.

Take a ****ing job for Saiyantology. Then click the link through your forum tab and pwn saiyantology..

hey look that that, gave you credit for both.

Seriously, not that hard.

It should NOT be left up to “hmm, i wonder which forum this is REALLY referring to…”. Simple as that.

It makes logical sense that the “community” forum and the “mission” forum are counted as two different forums. There is no contest. No possible way to say “well, it sort of makes sense this way”. They are on different pages. They are different forums. Why would pwning the one on the community page after the one on the main forums page count as a dupe?

Oh, and that’s not even getting into the frustration that pwning the same forum twice breaks your streak… if that’s the case, there should seriously be some kind of indicator or warning to make it so you don’t have to keep a meticulous list to ensure your streak continues…

But that’s just my opinion. I had to vent. Sorry.

Maybe if forums that you’d pwned in your current streak were highlighted in some way it’d prevent people from making this mistake in the first place.

now thats a great idea!

I made the same mistake. After asking via bug report for details, I got this back:

I’m not fond of it being listed twice, but it is what it is.

if it does not affect the streak then why did it stop my streak? I think it should count as 2 diff forums or it the dupes need to be removed from the community side

Keep a spreadsheet. Besides you streak would have ended anyway, as there are several forums you *must* lose

From the tubmail: “Unless of course you thought they were different forums which they are not.”

I think they need to be removed from the non-community side, honestly. When I brought it up under my alt before, people were saying that they wanted to have access to them despite not having Episode 2. It’s a valid request given that they really are community forums that they sucked into the storyline.

It’s not hard to write something into the narratives (story wise, I think I saw something that actually changing the narratives was a bit of a pain in the bum) telling the player to find the forums on the community tab. Hell, it’s even already there when you get the PP mission – I specifically watched for that on one alt.

As for the person above that mentioned the spreadsheet… I’ve done that oodles of times. And managed to **** up my runs *every time* when I forget to mark off that I ran something. So I came back the next day and ran it again. Sometimes I did it early, sometimes I did it way the hell late. I found my best luck (until this happened) to be just running the forums in order… I could check my visit history and know exactly where to pick up… and it didn’t rely on me remembering to do anything. (other than remembering to skip PP and CoS now)

The reason the URL is different is because one comes from a page which uses a /bookmark URL which redirects to the actual forum URL, because bookmarks contain things other than forums.

Yeah, in answering it for someone, I listed two different URLs until I checked it all out. Srsly, just enter a forum and see if what’s listed at the top is identical, ‘cause it’s kinda hard to have two differen,t identifcally named pages (a firend of mine had to identically named PowerPoint presentations (or something) in the same folder, but I’ll pin that on Macs, which suck).

Also: What is the deal with what I bumume are Europeans using commas where a decimal point should be? Leaving the comma out of a four-digit integer, that I can understand, since it’s still easy to visually pick out the number of numerals, but what happens when I want to show “123,456,78”?
