They had the incorrect number of lock downs and/or secures.

[Iego]

My two storey still has the same number of secures/lockdowns.

[Faust]

Previous two stories are grandfathered with this situation.

I only implemented it, someone else pointed out the inaccuracy in a thread. I did have reports today of not receiving fame on a kill shot, if anyone else is noticing this please let me know.

If you're provoking, you'll have to land the killing blow; same for poisoned creatures.

[Faust]

No need to blame Derrick for implementing this. He strictly follows his guide lines on making this a t2a accurate shard. If anyone should take the blame for this it is I for finding the information in regard to this. Please direct your hate mail my way.

I'm sure bards not getting fame for provokills was a side effect of the change that stopped them getting counts for independent kills from creatures they'd provoked and left alive. Essentially it was the lesser of two evils, which was eventually corrected in itself.

If the change was patched in as a technical consequence of something else and then patched back to work as intended, is there really a case for keeping such a temporary affliction just because it happened to fall on the holy '99?
