How do you whisper one of those things where if you say 'Elise' or 'Papaille' It would say something back?

how does sync works

How the sync works:

Game objects such as shaman items should be on the same spot on the screen for every player. This is necessary to enable the same gameplay experience for everybody. Therefore one player is chosen (people usually call this player the sync) to keep track of all objects' positions & velocities throughout the current round. This means that this player's game recognizes players interacting with those objects (for example pushing a box around). All objects' positions & velocities are sent every 500ms from this player to all other players in the room. For this player all objects move smoothly around, without lagging. For all other players the objects "jump" into their new position & velocities once they received the updated information from the sync.

Why the sync is needed:

Players have lag (depending on their ping). If the game would not synchronize the objects every 500ms among all players, the objects would be at different positions for each player, resulting in a different gameplay experience for everybody. For example player A would see a box close to a high ledge so they can jump from the box to the ledge, but for player B the box is still far away from the ledge so they cannot jump there. This would be unfair and chaotic. The sync is taking care that the box is at the same position for everybody. Since the objects are updated only every 500ms and the sync player might have a bad internet connection the objects can still lag, there is no way to solve this problem.

How the sync is chosen:

Longest cumulative connection time is not the connection time of your current session. It is also not the time since you made your account. It is the time that your profile has been connected to the server in total. Imagine you have a stopwatch that you start when you first log in to the game. If you log out you pause the stopwatch. When you log in again, you start the stopwatch and it keeps going from the time when you logged out. This time is the cumulative connection time. (It's comparable to the steam function which tells you how long you played a certain game.) You can check your own cumulative connection time by writing /time into the chat.

I believe if you whisper Cfmbot it gives an output on those two names.

So,have you finally ruined consumables? They don't seem to work anymore. Ugh.

when i was in utility, the whole thing restarted and the commands or welcome message didn't show up.
however, my friend and i saw this in the new map:


what is it?

How about you click and find out? ;)

It's the first time I try easter event (Registration date : 26/06/2014), so i just have this small question :3 : In what do eggs help in??

They don't really help at all. You collect them and bring them back to the hole, and you'll earn a consumable.

oh thnx, but um... a small question (sorry for the many questions) *blushes* : What does a consumable mean??

They can be various things: they can turn your mouse into a rabbit, a milk or even a vampire for thirty minutes, or throw things like balls or fish. You can even spawn fireworks.

Something to be used up, and you can use them on maps, but I don't think they are working at the moment.

I think that LCC might be wrong on what determines who's the sync when there are no shamans, unless things changed? During the last fishing event with the boat, the shaman before the event map was able to make the boat sync sink just by tabbing out and what-not.

My guess would be that that event map was made with lua or something. Lua event maps playing in normal rooms always cause issues with the shaman/sync selection. This was also observable with the Christmas event maps or the April fools sketch maps.
Back in 2010 it wasn't the current shaman who was the sync but it was always the player with the LCC. Tig himself confirmed this to me on the old forums. I figured out the current sync situation with a lot of testing.

Ah, I thought the sync system was changed. Glad to know there's two different ways, thanks!

Thanks to Spartanninja, we gathered 18 cheese!
You earned 280 experience points by saving 14 mice!

For my saves it still counts as 18, but why do I only receive experience from 14 mice instead of the initial 18?
