Macrocheck

I just got a strange macrocheck...
Well, macrocheck loves me, I even got 2 macrochecks in a period of 5 minutes while I was RPing...
This one, came just before a saving, I answered it after the saving and I didn't get the standart answer "Thank you for answering correctly yadda yadda".
Do I miss something?
Did I enter wrong numbers and didn't have a second chance?
Well, if it is the second I hope it's not a reason to loose skill... Maybe a reason to buy glasses. :D

If your answer is incorrect, you should get a message that says so and then you get another macro check gump with a different number. You've got something like 5(?) tries.

I'm not sure what happened in your case, but I wouldn't be too worried. If it came right before saving there's no way for it to drop your skills, as it needs to be up for 5 minutes without and answer to do so, and you need to still be using the skill after those 5 minutes :)

As long as you don't get notified that you failed a MC you should be relatively safe. :)

If you didn't get a message that says you entered it successfully I would say a GM probably checked you.

And just now I failed a macrocheck while I wasn't even online... :D
All I got when I logged in was a gump saying that I failed.

The other day I diyed because I got macrochecked while running away from a phase spider...
What's wrong with this script?

GM's can see from logs if you logged out or disconnected during a macrocheck. If that happens, it shouldn't drop your skills.

Well, this time I logged off, went to make a coffee, logged in and saw the gump.
Maybe I got the gump cause I didn't log off in a safe place, so my char stayied online?

The other day I was just running away from the phase spider. :shock:
