Round 63: Rule 63 Mafia

After some thought, I think I figured out the problem... THAT GODDAMN BUS DRIVER.

Now you are just grasping for air.

(another instalynch?)

*sigh* I tried to tell you. At least I'll win either way.

Bot is encountering an error with a particular post in this thread (and also having issues with that anti-bot stuff). I have three tests this week and will probably not be able to invest sufficient time to figure out what's going on, so I suggest we revert to the old way for a bit.

Sorry about all the downtime the bot has had lately. I really need to sit down and figure out how this anti-bot mechanic iftopic has works. But that requires time, and time is a very precious resource for the rest of the week.

Polls closed REALLY late.

Scept was lynched.

Scept was:

[kill Scept]

Phoenix was nightkilled.

Phoenix was:

[kill phoenix]
[dawn]

Before anyone asks, Phoenix's role was a mistake. He was supposed to be standard vanilla, but I forgot to correct that in the version I had. I fixed it but didn't save the fixed version, and had forgotten to send him the one I had fixed.

I told you guys, didn't I?

Oh wow really? Damn, that would have changed my entire thought process this match. Oh well. Good luck.

Voting cloak.

Umm........votebot, what are you doing?

OH GOD! VOTEBOT'S TAKING OVER!

Oh hell. I guess I'll start deleting the posts.

EDIT: I suppose it'd be a good idea to lock the thread while I'm at it.

EDIT 2:This entire time, I thought mods couldn't post in locked topics. I guess we can. Well damn. Unlocking thread again. Could someone try and contact Rain or DA? I can't stop this bot.

I stopped the bot. What was he doing?

Edit: Oh. That. Well. *sigh*

Posting the same post every 5 minutes.

Well, the problem was a very minor change to the underlying HTML iftopic uses. Long story short, he couldn't find the post ID for posts and that (somehow, not really sure yet) caused him to think he hadn't posted even when he had.

Edit: Alright... let's try this again. *crosses fingers*

Edit 2: Looks like the problem's solved. I also made a change that forces him to assess locked threads more often, on the order of once every 15-20 minutes. (He's programmed to not post in or even read locked threads. He just doesn't check for that very often since it usually only happens when a game ends.)

This weekend after the giant boatload of tests if finished, I'll sit down and iron out some instalynch logic for his inactivity indicator. This should prevent false-modkills like we saw this game.

Right. That makes sense. It figures that the forums would be messing with him again.

I wasn't even thinking about it the fact it doesn't read locked threads. I just thought locking the thread would work as a temporary solution to stop it since I thought it wouldn't be able to post. Now that I think about it, it's probably better that it could post.

I don't have a good feeling about Yoshi. Let's hope I'm right.

Well, it's partially on me. My code should be smart enough to realize it doesn't have enough information, and that it should just not post and throw an error at me. If my logic was more sound there, it'd be "where's votebot" instead of "ASDF SO MANY POSTS."

You also were having votebot work on her birthday
