Hiya folks,

I'm not sure how this came about or if this bug is a major thing or not, but having completed my 12 cases for the day I came across this message:

"You currently have -3 cases remaining for today."

Not sure how that's possible! lol

Just thought I'd bring it to your attention in case it does affect people's subscriptions or whatever. Cheers! MDL

I remember a bug that let you travel to Cairo even if you didn't have the necessary number of cases required but I don't remember Shangri La being affected.

I'm on a 3 month sub, Yeti, and I started it quite some time ago - so I don't think it could be that. It could be something to do with Cairo, I guess. I'll pay more attention if it happens again.

mmm yes Cairo, thanks. Like I said 'somewhere to somewhere' :)

All right. Well with subbing and travelling ruled out, I'm lost for ideas. Let's hope it was a harmless freak occurrence!

On a slightly related note, I'm currently seeing a locker-room bug with several items duplicated (I remembered to take some screenshots this time!). Sirens is currently at 31 / 29 items.

One of the items in my character inventory has also been duplicated - the Bejeweled Compact, replacing my White Parrot.

Is anyone else having similar problems? And does the bug resolve itself?

Should I post this as a separate thread?

Cheers. MDL / RDS.

I've just noticed that my Charm stats aren't adding up properly, too. I think the 2nd Bejeweled Compact isn't being counted as an item (I only have 21 Charm when it should be 28).

I believe the locker ghost has plagued the game since lockers first arrived. It's a bit weird your second accessory is not adding to your charm though - have you tried taking it off and putting it back on again?

The locker ghost is something I'll be attempting to exorcise on the next major bug crushing session. Though since it's been around for so long all ready I'd advise everyone not to get their hopes up too soon.

I've taken all the other items off except for the 2 compacts (should equal to 14 charm but only scores as 7 on my profile). I haven't taken either of these off yet as one of them has replaced my parrot ... but I'll give it a go now:

> Ah ha! I took one of these off, stored it in an empty apartment container leaving me with one on my person & one in the container. I can't, however, now wear both compacts (it just swaps them around). At least my stats are correct now, lol.

No idea where my parrot flew off to.

If you've lost a parrot then send SS a mail and he should be able to help you out with that. The locker ghost is all about giving and taking. You've had a good run for encountering the bugs!

** PM me when you have a spare slot I'll replace the parrot. ** (Parrots seem to go missing a lot)

Ha! The locker ghost has given you a duplicate. The game shouldn't let you wear duplicates (obviously the locker ghost is the exception it seems), so the game is only recognising the one set of stats, and hence you can't put it back on once you store it.

Silly game :)
