Would the postbumping problem possibly be more easily handled with a two post update procedure? The first post would be a simple "updating" post to, in effect freeze the game and give time for Yuku to settle. Then, after an appropriate interval, perhaps determined by trial and error, the detailed update would be posted. This would give time for the host to check any URL IDs if needed.

I'm sad to see Megbot & Android18 eliminated.
Also those two legs were great, especially leg 7. Congrats! ETA : If eliminated racers can vote, then I vote for Lady Gaga's death.

Upon further reflection, I think the issue is posting in rapid proximity AFTER the detailed update. I still think some type of server load balancing and
merging process needs to run to sequence the posts. I suspect that if there was a 'freeze' after the host posted the update for a minute or two, posts
would not get bumped before the update. If I remember correctly, there were games run after the Yuku switch that did not have this problem. I wonder what has
changed.
This problem has turned into a hosting nightmare. It appears that the host needs to post an update, wait, check all the URL IDs and edit the update and the racers need to remember to check previous updates for corrections.
I can't think of a good solution. Have the host only post updates at announced times and the racers avoid posting near those times? |

This Yuku server sync issue seems to be irregular. It's not usually half as bad for me, but today it seemed like I would be put 1-2 minutes behind the
correct timestamp. I'm not a technical person though so I have no idea why this might be the case.

It would be interesting to know if Yuku uses a geographically distributed server cluster and whether you both end up logged into the same server.

So sad that Megbot & Android 18 are out.
Loved the Nicksplosion. And I can understand his frustration (only in the clue not saying more sentences were expected -- the rigging accusation seems to be bullshit). But if he had just sucked it up and completed the task, he wouldn't have necessarily been booted. And, Merry Christmas, everyone. |

Opening Confessional
Setting: Elizabeth and Darcy are in separate confessionals, being interviewed. Interviewer: How did things change between you and Darcy in the last leg? Elizabeth: It appears that he is slowly changing into a man more tolerable to be around. Interviewer: And has this changed your interactions with him? Elizabeth: I suppose. I'm not nearly choking on my own bile whenever he is present, so I assume he has changed for the better. Interviewer: How did things change between you and Elizabeth in the last leg? Darcy: We were present to witness the birth of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that she softened up her demeanor just as I did. Interviewer: But you changed your demeanor before you saw the birth of Jesus. Darcy: *hesitates* Elizabeth: I'll just say that being accosted by Darcy with the ludicrous notion of marrying him was very unpleasant. Interviewer: Is he really that bad? Elizabeth: He dishonoured my family with his interfering with my sister's desire to love Mister Bingley. That's something I cannot allow myself to overlook. Interviewer: Are you sure you want to marry Elizabeth? Darcy: Miss Bennet...is very alluring, despite being proud. Interviewer: Is she prouder than you? Darcy: I would believe so. Elizabeth: I believe people, namely men, mistake my confidence and strong dedication to the lethal arts as off-putting and proud. Interviewer: Do you really think Darcy thinks of you as that? Off-putting and proud? Elizabeth: *dawns on her* Yes... Darcy: I have allowed myself space for personal growth. Elizabeth doesn't seem to really allow that space because she shoves all of her lethal arts into her cranium. Interviewer: What will she have to do in order for you to propose again? Darcy: See that I have changed myself for her. Something I've never done for any person in my entire existence. Interviewer: What will he have to do in order for you to accept his proposal? Elizabeth: He must show me that his actions are of honour and he is not the proud-stricken man that he has always been. Darcy: In my hands, I have a letter addressed from Mister Bingley. I hope that with the contents of this letter, I can show Miss Bennet something that makes me "less proud". Elizabeth: In my hands, I have a sword addressed for Mister Darcy. If he does not shape up, then I shall have no other choice than to show him his entrails when I disenbowel him. Interviewer: *shifty eyes*
