That said, I've done the same before, are you 100% sure?

For future reference: Never list details of a gunboat or anonymous game on the forum.

Well... I entered my orders and checked. I can't prove it was done (and, even worse, I can't prove my eyes didn't commit a mistake).

Draugnar chill the fuck out, it's not like he's affecting the outcome of the game

SYnapse, I am chill. I told him for future reference. He just broke anonymity which is against the rules. Now everyone knows who he is in an *anonymous* game. I just told him not do to that in the future. I guarantee the mods would tell him the same.

Then let them, stop playing mod

Thank you both!
Synapse for the answer and Draugnar for the tip.

Bear in mind this is what an order log looks like:
Time: Dec 07 2013 20:02:48 (UTC+0)[
[{"id": "43784807", "unitID": "2840519", "type": "Support move", "toTerrID": "4", "fromTerrID": "2", "viaConvoy": ""}, {"id": "43784808", "unitID": "2840520", "type": "Move", "toTerrID": "37", "fromTerrID": "", "viaConvoy": "No"}, {"id": "43784809", "unitID": "2840521", "type": "Move", "toTerrID": "44", "fromTerrID": "", "viaConvoy": "No", "convoyPath": ["43", "53"]}, {"id": "43784824", "unitID": "2842194", "type": "Move", "toTerrID": "4", "fromTerrID": "", "viaConvoy": "No"}, {"id": "43784825", "unitID": "2842195", "type": "Hold", "toTerrID": "", "fromTerrID": "", "viaConvoy": ""}, {"id": "43784831", "unitID": "2845819", "type": "Support hold", "toTerrID": "53", "fromTerrID": "", "viaConvoy": ""}]

Please be sure you didn't just make a mistake before going to the mod team and asking us to decipher what actually happened

@ Kestas:

You should convert the site programming to COBOL.

Wow.. it's really complicated.
But, how will I know it was system's fault or mine? I know it's possible to commit mistakes, but I don't make screenshots for every turn.

@guilherme.limoni Well, pretty much no software in actual use is provably correct, however, considering that many tens of thousands of games have been played on this site over several years and new issues are rarely found, it's unlikely a new player will sign up for the site and find a bug immediately. It's not impossible, of course, but it's far more likely that the new player is confused.

Here are some things that can cause orders to mess up:

Not completing an order (forgetting to put "via land" for instance).

Not letting the page fully load after saving orders.

Using multiple browsers, especially mobile devices, that may have cached an old page.

The safest thing to do is to always finalize your moves.

Well... the turn is getting to it's end.. I'd better live with this problem and take my moves. Otherwise, I'll loose a full turn (so it would be a incredibly bigger problem).

Anda, as abgemacht posted, "Not letting the page fully load after saving orders." could be an explanation.. so, let's try to go ahead with the game.

Also, the mouse wheel is a known culprit on occasion. If you were on the dropdown box for the order and It accidentally clicked as you were moving to the dropdown for the unit, you might not have noticed and it changed to support hold. Seeing as both take just one input, it could easily have happened and you not noticed.

Oh, and rarely, if ever, are turns rolled back and rerun. The problem is that hindsite is 20/20 and once everyone has seen the orders, they know if they were stabbed or not and it completely alters the outcome of the game. It would be like replaying a hand in poker with the same cards in the same order.

Its not the arrow, its the Indian.

I see your $20 and raise you a PS3.

I'm never gonna get used to 2WL having won the mod race...

Lets not bring race into this, OK?

@Draugnar,

Sorry you're having trouble with 2WL. I can agree with you that he's occasionally abrasive.

By the way, I wanted to point out that I had a run in with him as a mod the other day. For what it's worth, he was very patient with me while we sorted out the issue. I hope you're willing to give him a chance regardless of your prior history with him.

He's a mod that's also a normal person. Big deal.

Bear in mind this is what an order log looks like:

۩

"He's a mod that's also a normal person. Big deal."

Of course I am a normal person. Why would I be anything except a normal human? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat some batteries...I mean human food.

I went to high school with 2ndwhiteline and he's a great friend of mine. If somebody has a problem with him, they are the problem. He's incredibly reasonable and if he's giving you shit, you deserve shit.

Did he graduate?
Live game anyone?

Nobody listen to TheJok3r. I'm an asshole IRL, really, I mean it.

I was joking, Al. 2WL and I get along fine. I like the dude. It's just seeing him with the checkered flag would be like seeing krellin with a checkered flag or worse yet, *me* with a checkered flag. :-)
