Vanishing Contests

Mathcat

There seems to be an issue with contests vanishing without running. I've been suspecting this for a few days, but finally caught it happening. There were definitely some contests that were supposed to run 12:01 AM on the 19th that didn't (and one had 10/15 entrants, so it should have run).

Edit: They may also just be running a day later than the contest page says, since I think the missing contests might have run at 12:01 AM on the 20th. There's half a dozen set to run at reset tonight, so I'll check back to see if they actually do.

Need site currency? Playing with my hundreds of companions here can earn you a decent amount of both blue stones and reactor stones. Companions may be played with once per hour (total, not per user). If nothing shows up, check back later.

I think they wound up vanishing a day before they were supposed to run, but did actually run the next day. I'll keep an eye on contests for the next week and see what happens.

Edit: For my own reference.

Should run at 12:01 AM 6/23
Bronze Eating (#3148) Contest
Platinum Digging (#3149) Contest
Bronze Swimming (#3150) Contest
Bronze Digging (#3151) Contest
All actually ran.

Should run at 12:01 AM 6/25
Bronze Climbing (#3152) Contest
Bronze Eating (#3153) Contest

Should run at 12:01 AM 6/28 - Run date got bumped to 6/29
Silver Racing (#3154) Contest
Gold Digging (#3155) Contest
Platinum Racing (#3156) Contest
Bronze Climbing (#3157) Contest

Should run at 12:01 AM 6/29
Bronze Flying (#3158) Contest
Bronze Flying (#3159) Contest

It's possible this was a temporary glitch that only affected a couple of contests.

The contests that were originally supposed to run at 12:01 AM 6/28 got their date changed at rollover to run at 12:01 AM 6/29 instead. I think this happened to the contests that were supposed to run on the 24? I thought I'd written the wrong date down for those, but possibly not.

Edit: The contests that were supposed to run on the 28th got the date bumped to the 29th and ran then. The contests that were supposed to run on the 29th got the date bumped to the 30th.

I can now confirm that contests, on the day they are supposed to run, get bumped to the next day and run then.
