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.

Joined the furore today 5/17/20 at 1 PM server time. Showed ticket to Dorian and entered chatroom with other contestants. At the end of the countdown I went to the helter skelter and ... nothing. Checked all the other rides and ... nothing. Looked thru the telescope and only saw dolphins jumping out of the water. Couldn't even offer the kids at the fountain any cotton candy. It was like I didn't have a ticket at all.

No biggie except that for my next nemmy clue I need to spy 2 times during a furore. If it's broken for me I'm afraid I'm stuck in my nemmy hunt.

Well this is a problem. Second time I tried a furore. Showed my ticket, entered the chatroom, waited for the countdown to finish ... and then I couldn't get any clues at all. I couldn't even talk to the youth to ask them to spy for me. Nothing worked.

I'm not a big fan of the furores but unfortunately the nemesis hunt forces you to play them. Can these tasks be removed from the nemmy hunts if the furores don't work properly?

Cro, I was in the same furore. I saw your name in the chatroom, then you disappeared quite quickly. Did you click "leave' at the end of the countdown or wait for the Vortex (as Bela calls it) to suck you into the furore? I know that sometimes when people leave the chatroom by themselves, they can't get into the furore. The advice then is usually to go to the Carousel and just try riding on one of the horses. That seems to work for some.

However, I also had a slight glitch - though it seemed to correct itself after a minute or so. When I tried to 'Speak to the Youths' I was taken back to the clue grid. This happened several times. I left it a short while and later it was working just fine.

Katya, yes I did click on "leave". It was never a problem in the past but after the "big fix" ... who knows? Oddly enough I did get messages when you and the others finished. I'll try the "vortex" next time, lol.

About 8 minutes into the 09.45 furore today, there was suddenly an immensely long wait for a page to upload and then the 'server maintenance' web page uploaded. I tried to log in again several times but was continually informed that the site was currently down for server maintenance. I was only able to log in again about 5 minutes ago.

However, when I logged in I saw that the other players had been able to complete the furore. Can a server be down for only some players and not for others? I wouldn't have thought that possible. Anyhow I saw that about 17 mins of the furore were left so went on to try and collect clues - but nothing was available. At the telescope (although it gave the message about 'the clues have been redistributed etc) I got the script: "I looked through the telescope. The sea was calm, and in the distance I could see the Sleuthetania on the first day of its journey to Shanghai.

I looked around to see if I could find anything resembling a clue for the Furore, but there was nothing to be found. Perhaps I should check back later."

So it seems as if the furore *was* over.

All very confusing. I assume there must have been an emergency for the server to shut down during a furore. It would be interesting to hear what the other players experienced.
