is this a bug or a feature

[obtuse mountain]

firstly, the phone is sometimes wrong.
secondly, if there was one shell left and I ejected it with a beer, do I get to start the next load? or does the next person start?

Beer: At the moment, ejecting the last shell passes the turn to the next player.
Phone: It counts from the shells left, not shells started. Also, unlike singleplayer, it is not able to show second shell due to balancing reasons.

Yes the f-ing phone is lying, also inverter wont work 2 times in a row

The items work as intended, save for the phone with resolution issues, it cuts off the info where the bullet is predicted (2nd text line), inverter used 2 times just gives you the original shell, so if it was live, it's still live the 2nd time

No it doesnt, yesterday I used inverter two times on initially blank shell, and when I shot myself it turned out live

Miscalculation on your side. No matter whether it was a phone or your math - don't blame the inverters.

[cerulean moth]

I saw the shell with a looking glass, there was no math, I knew its state 100 percent it wasn't a guess, I wouldn't say this if it could be a bad guess somehow. My plan was to get rid of the inverters and end the round on my turn. I knew what I was doing. And the phone blatantly lied today, said the third shell is live, but it was blank.

You started with a Magnifying Glass and ended with blaming the Burner Phone, what are you saying?

[cerulean moth]

I am talking about two separate instances. Looking glass and two inverters. And another instance with burner phones. I told you about looking glass to clarify that there was no guessing involved in an instance with the inverters.

[amber plume]

In that case, Magnifying Glass makes blanks shine brighter than the sun, so it's your skill issue if you mistook dim live as a blank.
Burner Phone, counts from the point you used it, not from the full magazine. That's how you could get that "Third Shell is a Blank..." and "Third Shell is a Live..." in one turn. The first third became second, and then you discovered third.

[cerulean moth]

You've just contradicted yourself by saying that its obvious when its blank. Stop gaslighting. Have you tried yourself to use two inverters in a row that you're so sure that I have made a mistake?

Phone was used at the start of the round so it was informing me about the whole pack of bullets. And not the ones that were left.

[amber plume]

Fair point. All I'm trying to defend is inverters. Let's both agree the information items can be little unreliable.

Try it yourself, maybe it was a one-off thing, I was very reluctant to try again
