Title: Oracle doesn't understand the word "no"
Reproduction Rate: Once, so far
Blocker? prevents the 500 gold daily reward
Details: shorten answer to "no" and oracle doesn't understand
Steps to Reproduce:
1 Interact with oracle
2 Choose to take the daily test by clicking "test"
3 Test question is "I have observed your actions while walking along the Path of Courage. Do you feel your actions demonstrate how to live according to the Virtue of Courage? Simply respond 'Yes I do', or 'No I do not'."
4 I answer "no"
5 The oracle replies "Unfortunately, my observations cannot confirm this; you are in fact following the Path of Courage, Kelly O'Shay. Please return tomorrow if you would like to take this test again."
6 Now my observations for the last week include last wednesday, I asked the oracle about all three virtues. The answers were: "truth disdain, love important, courage disdain." So three times within the last week the question has been courage, and the correct answer has been "no" all three times.
kelly 13:25 wed, courage, no, 500
kelly 06:23 fri, courage, no, 500
kelly 13:06 sat, courage, no, 500
Why is it that now, with a new release the answer is suddenly not "no"?

Here is the oracle on thursday oct 27 at 13:50 eastern time. The correct answer to "courage" has been "no" for the last week, now that is not the correct answer. Why?

 

Possibly you took an action the Oracle found courageous. You can ask the Oracle for advice and get its opinion on your progress. It is re-evaluated every visit.

Lollie posted a fairly clear if not lore-compliant way to effectively use this system here:

Wait... hmmm. Let me look into this further. Just noticed your screenshot.

 

Oh. Reading it... yes, it should be clearer. You said "No, I do not follow the path of courage." The Oracle said "I can't confirm this. You are in fact following the path of courage." You have been courageous, but you said you weren't.

I'll make it clearer. If' I'm getting confused, it's confusing!

 

I think you need to type the whole sentence "No I do not".

 

You should have typed "yes".

(because you ARE following the path of Courage according to the Oracle).

Always do "test" first to find out for certain for that current session.
