Yetiface kindly fixed the Carousel Furores today. Please help us by try them out when you have time and post any problems you run into here.

Yeti, it is strange indeed.

Yeti, it’s possible I have offended Linus. I personally believe Dorian Pivot has blackballed me on the furores - I got a little rough with him last week over the fact that not ONE of his ponies sports a magnificent unicorn horn in spite of the fact that the map CLEARLY indicates a unicorn ride. I maaaaay have handled some coarse language. I definitely issued some threats of personal violence. I was not the best version of myself and let the situation escalate. In hindsight I should have probably employed some self calming measures instead - maybe some deep breathing, or counting by sevens, or spending some time PETTING A MAGNIFICENT FREAKING UNICORN LIKE THE ONE ON THE MAP!!!1!

Ellie, I think when someone else accepts your trade you have to collect the clues they gave you from the fountain. Is that what's gone wrong here?

Jesse, that does sound like you went rather far, justifiable though it may have been. Maybe by way of conflict resolution you can get Dorian a huge pile of chocolate and he can supply you with a magnificent freaking unicorn like the one on the map

Yes i went to the fountain and it gave me the clue, but it didnt record it on my record so itvwas like it didnt happen.

Odd thing happened with Joseph Hollis at the 9.30 furore today. I tried espionage on him (having checked that he had 2 or 3 clues I didn't), but was given a clue I already had. Has this happened before? Makes me a little wary of using the old candy floss trick.

I boarded the seaplane and headed to the carousel to show my ticket, but instead of sending me to the fountain for pre-furore chat I got this error message:

New weird (and wonderful! but probably not intended) bug with the 13:00 furore today: no timer limits/queues at the rollercoaster and the big wheel. I know. :o

(I must also cop to very unscrupulously hogging these rides once I found out there weren't any "lines" - I could say I was just pushing my luck to see how far it'd go :P My most sincere apologies to my co-furorers today, Misha and De Mata Hari - I didn't notice it until about 5 mins in, and then I did go crazy because I thought you might have noticed it. I tried to make up for it by very trading a lot and spreading the good luck around...but yes, my win is tainted. Sorry, but the furoring spirit definitely got to me. :D)

ALSO, petition to make this bug a feature! You just won't know which furores this will happen, so as soon you find it - it'll just be a mad rush and then trading-dependent. No? Please?

I'm still getting that big long error message on a blank white webpage when I show my furore ticket at the carousel. Who is in charge of maintenance for that? Who can take a look at my account and see why it is doing this? I sure would love to play!

Just a comment on Bela's post (May 12). I also took part in that furore and noticed that the rollercoaster and wheel seemed 'dead' at one point. it was fairly early on in the furore. However, I didn't get any clues from them and on checking back later found the 'no clues' script.
