The initial desynch between player-list and player-count happened on August 8th, when Cuddlebeam marked emself active without changing the player count.

The listed player count remained off by one, causing intermittent errors with Quorum, until Cuddlebeam unidled emself again yesterday without changing the player count. That led to the player count being off by two, and listed quorum perpetually one lower than actual quorum, until I caught the mistake while resolving “Walking the Walk”.

While this is originally Cuddlebeam’s fault, the fault for the time it remained off by 1 is shared between every admin that idled or unidled a player during that time, myself included, who failed to count the number of active players.

I totally forgot and that’s on me.

Relatedly, I idle myself. Quorum drops to 7.
