i was playing stones, the first game went well, i won, then i hit play again, and this happened

Stones: New Game
Users currently playing: Darkwing

OK, we'll start the pile out with 19 stones

You win! I had to remove the last stone. You win 25 points and now have 602,234 points.


Play Again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


so i hit play again, another time, and the same happened, just with a different number of stones...

is this a problem, in the coding or something?

It's been happening to a lot of people, and was even brought up in Zone BBS Suggestions, and most people seem to have forgotten about it. Thanks for bringing it up again though.

The same thing happens if you lose. You will lose any subsequent rounds until you navigate away from the game, play a different game and/or log out, and then come back to it.

No. It certainly isn't. I think I've received about a thousand free points just from trying to play a new game. Lol.

Of course, that's in total.

not that i do that, but yeah... same with the quiz results page... you just keep refreshing, and there you go

O wow. I didn't know that, about the quiz page. Of course, there's no actual "play again" link, or "take another quiz" link, or anything like that, at least, not from what I've seen.

I also wanted to bring up that I only have this problem with Stones after I've played a different game before playing Stones.

just shows, that no higher power around here gives a shit what goes on.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. We have this board, which discusses a small, but very obvious bug. I don't recall ever seeing one staff post about it, but when someone complains about Game Parler, o no! We've got an emergency on our hands!

yeah really.

Actually, it's so easy to win stones, that even before this bug came up, I would win ten times in a row, then get bored, come back and win four more times, and I haven't lost once on the game.

Yeah. It is pretty easy if you get the hang of it, and the bug doesn't come up if Stones is the first game you play after logging in.
