I have a question concerning the first discoverer points regarding the global media drop (this topic).
Please check the following:
- The first reply to this topic was made at 2:51 am.
- At 5:00 am the second reply was made containing screenshots of the found Tessera.
- At 5:02 am the third reply was made containing a screenshot of the found Tessera.
- Between 2:51 am and 5:51 am the first reply was edited to add the found Tessera as proof. We can't see how many edits the reply has had nor which edit added the Tessera, we can only see what time the last edit was made.
How will the first discoverer points be awarded in this case? Reason I'm asking is because I want to avoid unfair gameplay. Technically one could reply early, edit the post after receiving the Tessera, and earn the first discoverer points.
If it helps set your mind a time ease @HendrikTovenaar, I was online as the posts started coming in, which was only a couple minutes after midnight EST on Saturday. The first person who posted DID post a picture of the tessera at that time. I am guessing that they misspelled their handle and went back later to correct it.h
However, I understand your concerns and feel the same way. This could become a problem in the future. Just wanted to try and help ease any worries in this case.
I was also refreshing like crazy and had read the first comment before the Tessera dropped, so no - the image was not posted at the time of first comment, as the comment was made well before the Tessera was live.
I am interested in how this is decided - if being first comment as soon as the thread is created is a valid way to ensure discovery points, it just changes how people will post.
I assume that the Tethered Hand has a way to verify who received the media from the portal, and when it was handed to them, to avoid the appearance of being sneaky and claiming the discovery but then updating with the picture.
Truthseekers: The NIA has looked into this and this is what they found. An Agent created a post in this thread before this Media Drop went live, and later edited the post to include the photo of the Tessera. Even though this Agent's post appears first in the thread, by the time their post included all of the elements necessary to be verified, at least three other member of their Faction had already posted complete Discoverer Posts. So this Agent will not be earning Discoverer status for this Tessera. Additionally, moving forward, the NIA will be amending the directives to say that any post that has been edited will become disqualified. If you absolutely need to edit your post, instead make a new post, quoting your original one. But if you do this, the timestamp on your new post is what will be considered when determining whether or not you've earned Discoverer status.
