I am getting the same error as anythingforalady. It says 'no script' when you refuse to answer. I have downloaded the latest version and still getting it.
Also, it seems to refuse you another round if you don't get any votes at all - I am guessing it assumes no votes=0 and therefore below 5.
I'd consider the ban for a short time thing for low votes to be a frustrating pain anyway - not sure it adds to the fun of the script and makes someone less likely to go back for more. Keep the increased pain thing but if your aim is to encourage more co-operation and people actually posting pictures of them actually doing activities I'd lose the temporary ban and instead think of another way to achieve it.
I'll see if I can find the error, but it's really difficult since everything seems to be working for me. Maybe it's related to available toys? I've been testing with everything enabled. I am aware of a couple of minor issues that I haven't had time to fix, but nothing that should result in "no script".
Regarding the 24 hour ban thing...I'm really surprised by the number of people that play these scripts in webcam mode and then just post a blank image or just sit in a chair watching the script play out. It just ties up resources and makes it less fun for everyone else. It also make script development less fun, and those of us who do write scripts less motivated to continue.
All of my scripts can be played without webcam mode in order to test them or experiment. The voting system is designed to stop people who are not seriously playing from continuing to use resources. They should be playing in the non-televised mode if they just want to experiment.
I'm really not sure how else to motivate players to use the correct mode other than a voting-type system. We could do what we do in Courtroom and have locked collateral, but that requires extra servers and moderation. However, I do admit that some serious players probably get down-voted incorrectly. Anyway, I'll try to think of some better ways to handle it. Suggestions are always welcome!
