I can play, but only after work.
Will that work?
I don't want to hold people up, unnecessarily.

Also, for the other seal, does everyone have the same constraint I do (Don't touch the button for 2 weeks)?
If so, I don't see how 7 people could already have the seal. If they hacked the date on their computer or the site, then "trust" has been broken.
Or... Am I missing the point, entirely?


DON'T TAKE THE HONOR SYSTEM SEAL TOO EARLY! Those people don't actually have the seal. When you're signed in, click on the link in the bottom left-hand corner that says "Master Score List." As soon as you do, you'll see the ultimate ranking list itself as it always has been, but with impatient seal-snatchers labeled with a dark red "CHEATER" next to their Alias. You'll see even CA Grandma couldn't wait.

M knows if you've been bad or good, so be good, for goodness's sake!

They may be identified as cheaters but they still get their Christmas gift of 200 points.

So far, I've accepted invites from 3 games and none have started.
This is going to take a LONG time.

Some day, somebody'll find a good formula for competitive online team play.

 		None of the games I'm in showed anyone vivisected, yet 4 people (walterplinge and 3 other Members) have the seal.

Either the seal program worked but then developed problems, or this is window dressing to make it look good.

There are some anomalous members in the listings, check:

letroll -- 1 theorem, 3 seals, 400 points, 7260th place (but has the Honor System seal TWICE)
&
nsamn (1sam1 etc) all 1 theorem, 2 seals, 400 points, 726n place all joined 12/08/2011 and got All that Jazz + 100 for speed + Initiation + Act Your Age

yeah, you would think that with 4, that's 2 games where 2 aliens won. Yet, if this is day-by-day, you'd have to go at least 7 days to outnumber earthlings (as opposed to 2 days to eliminate aliens).

 		Number of days
Yeah, it's still impossible for people to have won, but it doesn't necessarily take 7 days for aliens to win. Each day, two people are eliminated, meaning it would take 3.5 days.

That could be 4 surviving humans eliminating the aliens after losing 4, too.

Looks like a minimum of 3 days @ 2 a day though unless there were some dropouts -- like maybe the two initial 'luck kills' then the two aliens dropped out.

Who besides walterplinge got the seal? maybe a bunch of 'ghosts'?
NsamN group sure looks like ghosts to me

 		Having played several games now, I can tell you the following:
M's version of Abduction is buggy six ways to Sunday.
I've had multiple nights and finished three games in one day. Players are listed as being stoned by aliens and probed by villagers. If I hadn't known what the site's 404-not-found page looked like before I began, I'd have learned.

And yes, I have the seal. Go figure...

This looks WIERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
page 5 of'Seals" no longer shows the seal, but the seal count shows like I still have the seal and the points listing credits me (haven't checked the total though) whereas your points listing doesn't.

I checked the points listings for about a dozen others I know "won" this seal, and it shows for all of them...

Question for Rogi: did you leave game from all the games you'd gotten the seal in?

Also I can still play the games I'm in (well can't vote, but I'm getting the emails and can see the game screen and can see where someone withdrew) through the abduction home page.

Maybe the TMT staff is trying to limit new games until they can get this fixed?
