#4, "Cabalwars"


          

How about tracking cabalwars through reboots/crashes, either in general or in another mode? Right now, the command often does not give a very useful representation of how things shape up.

Extra cookies and milk if it some version of it were available on the website.

What does this mean? What are you looking for here? Draw it up and explain it.

I'm lost here. The membership data is an accurate representation of the playerbase. The items taken is an accurate representation of the number of times an item has been taken.

What I think you want is a way to tell who has what item when you're ready to log in, and that's just not going to happen.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Maybe I'm working off a flawed assumption, but I thought the "Items Taken" section of cabalwars was last crash/reboot to date, which would make it kind of misleading depending on the uptime and power swings.

As for the last bit, I think it would be nice to see the output of cabalwars and leaders on the website. I guess I don't understand how looking at cabalwars could help me figure out who has what item at a given time, other than perhaps looking at the items taken section over the course of a couple hours and tracking changes or something. (I know it gets posted to a forum. Maybe just up it to twice a week or something, so it's more accurate?)

Are partially based on this request. I am dumping this stuff into the database, so you may see it on the web soon.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
