I notice from the database that people have started getting and answering the St Patrick's Day Easter egg (#375), but only 6 of them, and they all picked option 3. This is a small number, and I'm vaguely wondering whether there's any chance that the talking points for options 1 and 2 have been changed.

It's tied to the month of March.

but only 6 of them, and they all picked option 3. This is a small number, and I'm vaguely wondering whether there's any chance that the talking points for options 1 and 2 have been changed.

No. If people actually had been selecting the other options and got new effect lines that didn't exist before, I would be notified immediately. I guess that option is just popular.

[TalAkMaChen]

Indeed, I just set some "Easter egg qualifiers" to many nations. On two of them I immediately received ##375 and for the sake of gathering data chose options 1 and 2, respectively. They are as listed on Trotterdam's page. Once the daily update collects all the data there should be fresh data points for all of #375.

I am speechless.

Has anyone started getting privacy errors when loading the site? Hope it's not just me.

Has anyone started getting privacy errors when loading the site? Hope it's not just me.

I spent a few minutes looking for this resource to send to someone else (since I knew it existed), and yes, I got an unsecure connection warning.

I'm not an IT professional, but it looks like the site's security certificate hasn't been renewed. I'd imagine that's what's causing the problem.

I was not aware of changes in issue #401, but apparently there were some. At War Dogs CLXXXII I chose option 2 and got the effect line listed as option 1, e.g. about the pastime of the army.

Interestingly this was also the first time I chose option 2, according to my logs. I don't have complete logs of all time but for the vast majority of War Dog nations I kept it from their first issue.

I don't know if that means there is a new option being inserted before the old option 1, or it was wrong all along, or I made a mistake with logging. But it appears mysterious. The only other issue that regularly flags as "other than expected" is issue 544, for obvious reasons.

[Trotterdam]

If you didn't save the issue text, there's not much I can do.

[TalAkMaChen]

If you didn't save the issue text, there's not much I can do.

Yes, I did not because the expected options (1-3) were present so at the time of choosing I had no reason to save it.

Anyway, should I encounter it again I shall save it.

And here is the 1624:
1, the overhead luggage compartment is often full
2. heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails
3, trains and passengers alike are often late

[TalAkMaChen]

Should we answer issues again? Currently stats seem a bit weird so incoming results may well be off compared to expected? Or is it "safe to go" again?

[Trotterdam]

I just restarted my program half an hour ago.

From what I can tell, current stats seem to be fine, it's only the history graphs that are missing. I don't use the history graphs, so that's a non-issue.

In anticipation of the possibility that the stats restored from backup might be different from the latest stats that nations had before the crash, I took the precaution of deleting all stored nation data before restarting the program. That means that the first issue you'll answer after the restart won't be recorded. Analysis will resume as normal after that.
