I loved the 300 minutes as well, but I think it should stay at 200. How much stress did the server have to go through with people using one hundred extra minutes?

In any case, why did it happen? Was it cause I was so cool, and someone just went "Hey, Anthony's cool. Everyone gets 100 more minutes." Because, that sounds like the reason to me.

In that case, your "coolness" didn't last long. It was probably due to a programmer loosing his grip on reality while on drugs or something. :D

Ah, an idea for how to get the minutes to reset reliably...

Make a webpage off the player listing screen that has a "Reset Times" button on it - have it only be active once every 24 hours. First person to trigger it after the 24 hours passes gets an extra 100 minutes.

Dammned if that time will be reset promptly at the same time every day ;)

You're thinking of the second labor of Hercules. Each time Hercules bashed one of the hydra's heads, Iolaus (his trusty nephew) held a torch to the headless tendons of the neck. The flames prevented the growth of replacement heads, and finally, Hercules had the better of the beast. Once he had removed and destroyed the eight mortal heads, Hercules chopped off the ninth, immortal head. This he buried at the side of the road leading from Lerna to Elaeus, and for good measure, he covered it with a heavy rock. As for the rest of the hapless hydra, Hercules slit open the corpse and dipped his arrows in the venomous blood.


Back on topic, I didn't even use all of my 300 minutes. BLAH!
