Question about what triggers Last Post.
So, on responsive (at least), posting a Private Message triggers Last Login - as it should - for all characters. But, only -sometimes- does this trip the Last Post.
Does anyone know what the criteria are for a PM triggering Last Post to update?
It's not really important, but I've been trying to figure it out because it puzzles me, and I'm stumped. I had thought that it was only triggering for GM-controlled characters because it's consistent in -ALWAYS- triggering for the GM but seemingly never (or so rarely that I can't remember the last time it did) for the player in an Access thread conversation, and I've gotten consistent results using a GM-controlled PC in a thread with a player-controlled PC, where it always triggers for the GMPC but never for the player PC...
...but further testing reveals that it at least -sometimes- will trigger when player PCs are talking to each other, without a GM or GMPC present. So I thought that maybe it was a case of it only triggering for player PCs if there was -NO- GM-controlled character present, but testing reveals that's also not the case, as again, it at least -sometimes- triggers for player PCs talking with GMPCs. (I can look at two games right now and see a case of one conversation with a GMPC that -did- trip Last Post for the PC, and one that didn't.)
Is it literally just random for PCs?
