Thrall reading as "5th" character [f?]

[CharlotteC]

And it's back... was able to move Dawn just fine. Went to switch to Charlie and now the warning is back.

[Alexandrea]

Was there anything you did differently between it working and warning?

[CharlotteC]

Nothing different, though from what Amalea tells me, Wilber popped up on her list of characters as well. I was starting to think that this might have something to do with the Allurist Mastery and that I might have to delete Wilber and try again. But with Amalea telling me that I no longer know what in the heck it could be. I'm at a loss.

[Alexandrea]

have you done any facebook shares? There's been a similar bug bumping around for awhile but it wasn't a thrall.

[CharlotteC]

I didn't do any before switching, no.

A week ago I had the same thrall show up on my list of characters. I got the same message about too many characters vs slots. I ended up sending one to the SR for good measure but the thrall doesn't show up on the on-grid alt lists for my characters.

It only happened the once. I've had this issue in the past with actual characters and moderate distance (~100 mi) IP crosses, but haven't had that issue in years. I did confirm with Charlotte's player tonight that we live at complete opposite end of the country.

I did do a FB share yesterday, but not directly before the time it showed up on my list.

I believe the last time, I'd done a share w/Suzette and someone (I forget who, I'll look for the thread) had it in their facebook feed. They got the Warning message that Suzette was one of theirs soon after.

Subject: FB Share = Inaccurate Character Links [c]

Okay, so...I just tried to log in on the grid and I got this:

WARNING!
DO NOT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE! Please read carefully!

You are currently in control of more than 4 active characters, which is more than the number of free slots you have available (4). This is against the rules. The characters you currently control are as follows:

* Suzette
* Calen
* Rikki
* Flynn
* Marleigh
* Beckett

The bottom 5 ARE my characters, and Calen is currently realmed. Suzette, on the other hand, is not. Nor has that character ever been on my IP.

Ironically, I was just on my Facebook, and Alex (Alexandrea) had Facebook shared from the game with Suzette and it popped up on my news feed.

I dunno if that it is...AT ALL possible...but I find it really strange that of all characters to have crossed onto my IP (which I know is an issue from before), it is the character that came up on my news feed, posted by a player of the game.

Needless to say... I would like my grid back, please. I swear I didn't do it! xD

[Amalea]

It's possible I accidentally clicked on the FB share she made to the Addicted to Path group. I just looked at it, it's dated the same time as the initial cross and it was shared from Wilber's account. So might explain the cross, lol.

[CharlotteC]

I forgot that one time I did share that one time that Wilber robbed Mooncalf. Granted he was broke but I found it funny that it was still a success.
