Issue 1350?

Postby Grand Quebecois » Wed Jul 29, 2020 7:48 pm

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but I got an issue with the number 1,350. I don't know if this is a new issue or not, but from the brief search I did online there is no documentation of such. The title of it is "The @ADJECTIVEDENONYM@ Are Coming!". Is this a new issue or just a mishap?

Looks like it is a real issue, just one that's been newly added to the game. There is some documentation of it here: http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/1350.html

Now if you actually saw the "@@DEMONYMNOUNPLURAL@@" macro then that's a problem.

No, it says "The Quebecois Are Coming!", but I figured that not everyone knows what my nation's people are known as so I put that there instead so it would hopefully be understood better. Thank you!

I believe it has been reported once in the Issues List Megathread, but if you could clarify which terms are randomized or macros (that is, if you still have the issue) that'd be great!
Stay safe, be kind, and have a great day! :)

Ha, you think THAT one is hard to find, good luck with 1353. So far, only the author has answered it, and its been in the game for 6 days already.

It's entirely possible it's that the validity criteria are the hardest to meet of any issue ever.

Oh boy, are we going to take bets on how long it's going to take? I remember it took about half a year for 911 to be reported - and even longer for 998. I'm going to take the under. Who want the over?

By the way, I think it's this one.

I've had the telltale effect line in front of me for ages, actually, but I only just now remembered how specific that draft's validity was.
