Huh, weird. My data (both current and an old backup) shows that this option shouldn't have affected civil rights, and almost never does so (17 data points for the data as of last upload, and 187 data points in the old backup). However, my script did record the exact change you claim for your nation on this occasion, which will go online in a couple of hours, showing that you did your measurement correctly.Rocain Founder wrote:I then answered issue #1186 via the API, and selected option 1 (or 0 as the API presents it).
No, I don't think it's overnight. It definitely looks like the bug happens at the moment of answering the issue. From what I can tell, your status then stays stable until the next issue answer, which may compound the bug and make things even more wrong (like Cain M Ca0 v0 being "reclassified" twice in a row and neither one actually sticking).Rocain Founder wrote:Due to what I saw with the previous instance, I suspect the stat and government classification may spontaneously change again overnight.

Did you ever actually see it be changed to Authoritarian Democracy, except in the happening line saying so?Rocain Founder wrote:In any case, something happened to restore the government classification of Democratic Socialists after it had been repeatedly and apparently wrongly changed to Authoritarian Democracy.
If these reports are correct, then something even weirder is going on than what I thought. It seems to outright contradict the behavior you reported on Cain BZ R08Au v0, even though both are obviously bugged.Rocain Founder wrote:On July 14, around 2:30 EST, my script apparently was told, via the API, that the government type of Cain M Cao v0 was Democratic Socialists. It then answered issue #645, choosing option 3. According to the logs kept by my script, its civil rights stat dropped from 41.44 to 34.36, and the message ‘Cain M Cao v0 was reclassified from "Democratic Socialists" to "Authoritarian Democracy".’ was returned. An API inquiry confirmed that the government type was now Authoritarian Democracy. Other than the change-of-government message, I have no confirmation independent of my script of any of this.
Later that day, around 6:30 EST, I ran my script again. The API told the script that the government type was Authoritarian Democracy, but when I used the API to answer issue #458 with option 2, its civil rights stat dropped from 34.36 to 34.15, and I received the message ‘Cain M Cao v0 was reclassified from "Democratic Socialists" to "Authoritarian Democracy".’ once again. This is obviously wrong. Either the API was incorrect when it indicated the government type was already Authoritarian Democracy, or the change-of-government message was incorrect. The API call after answering the issue to retrieve the government type once more indicated it was Authoritarian Democracy.

Rocain Founder wrote:And do you know what stats might be modified incorrectly (assuming that the stats stored were wrong rather than that the actual error was leaving valid changes out of the issue response XML, which would be more benign)?
Rocain Founder wrote:One reason I ask is that if the data stored was wrong, Trotterdam would probably want to know what stats he needs to reset in his database once the problem is entirely solved. (I note that in one of the early instances of the problem, a change to the civil rights stat was noted by Trotterdam's software when no such change had previously been observed for that issue option, leading him to suspect that the data stored that time was not correct.)
