DARN! I just noticed that my list of REPLIES is not in chronological order! This SHOULD have actually been the first player to take action. However since they are far apart, it makes no difference anyway so can remain as is.
Player 2 (2nd)
Action 1: Shoot the Walker to the West. Roll 1 = fail.
Action 2: Try again. Roll 1 = fail.
Action 3: Try again. Roll 5 = success! The Walker has been destroyed.
Sorry, that was entirely my fault... I edited my response a number of times.
Ah! OK, that would explain the list being out of order. I wondered what happens to edited messages. So were you actually first and then the message moves to reflect the later edit? Or were you actually later to make a reply?
No... I was first... and I had introduced my first bot that I built. .. but it didn't work properly so I went back and erased all trace of it and edited my first message... by that time Pandora had put in her response.
So the message moves to reflect the last edit... but keeps its original timestamp. If I now edited a message from the last 7 days you'd see it in today's replies.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. That is all good stuff to know.
