Suspiciously #1 world ranking nations: electric boogaloo

So this person is the most youth rebellious in the world and first in WA endorsements. The problem? They 1) aren't in the WA, and 2) Their stat page for WA endorsements and youth rebelliousness is blank.

I've seen this before, but how hasn't this been fixed yet? :?:

It's a known bug.

Probably because we don't have a paid development staff working 40+ hours a week on bug fixes.

There's code in place to fix this, but for some reason it doesn't work 100% of the time. Admins have not found the root cause for that problem. Until they do, the game remains playable, and the servers aren't crashing. It's annoying but not debilitating. They'll get to it when they get to it.

Being taken care of.

Apparently this nation resists fixing. This will be investigated... soon.

Fixed, and the code that normally takes care of this kind of thing now works in cases where a nation winds up with some undefined (not just missing) census scores.

It's less noticeable, but it is glitched.

It appears to be back again.

So this nation, created only 2 days ago, is somehow number one in the world for all of the rankings including WA endorsements despite the fact that it's not even in the WA. I've disabled NS++ just to make sure and it's still there, as shown in the following screenshot:

Funny, their actual results show up HERE: https://www.nationstates.net/page=challenge/nations=commonwealth_of_fisher
…but losing is certain, so good luck recording their actual rankings, if they don't show up elsewhere.

This is an odd case nation, where the population is 1 Million, ranked #1 in everything, has a ghost region (doesn't exist), and last activity was 49 years and 74 days ago!

They're even #1 for the challenge thing.

This was a technical glitch, which has been corrected. I could tell you how, but, well, you know ...

This one is interesting, because it is a completely normal nation except for their "zeroth-first place" endorsement ranking.

Sorry if this counts as a gravedig but this nation apparently ceased to exist 13 days ago, but their most recent government activity is dated to 5 days ago and their trends for literally every single one of the different things that the game tracks has them as being 1st for all of them while also having no data for those stats. (And hilariously, checking these blank stats added their trophies to the nation page, at least on my end, IDK if other people can see them too now)

I'm gonna presume that something just got messed up when the nation was supposed to CTE and leave it to an admin to deal with when they see this.

There's actually two other ones in this current state. Yikes.

Looks like they revived the nation, but it didn't revive correctly. I've deleted and restored them, which forced them to act normally.

Something like this has happened during the creation of my current nation that I'm typing this post on right now where I was, for some reason, ranked number 1 in pacifism and when I answered my first issue, the ranking changed to where it was supposed to be, although I'm not sure whether my chosen option for the issue increased or decreased my pacifism stats(even though I can confirm that it had changed one way or another)

by **Frisbeeteria** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:05 am

OK, those two are fixed.

In all three cases, it looks like either an incomplete CTE or an incomplete revival. We've got code in place that's supposed to catch those, but it's obviously got some holes in it. I'll raise it with the admins again.

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_cascade_hills is also doing it.

Fixed, though the outcome may not show up until after the next update.

Currently one zombie nation spotted. I'll be updating any further instances of this via my dispatch linked here and at the beginning of this thread.

Why? I'm certainly not going to be checking your dispatch for problem nations. Just post in this thread.

Sorry. I thought you might have been slightly annoyed by me posting here every instance of all this. :unsure:

I'll continue doing both then.
