I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.


Arson crimes require monitoring and timing, and I just had a captcha trigger in mid-crime, booting me out and making me click on a grainy ass image to try to identify all squares with cars fast enough to get back into crimes and hit my fire with an extinguisher before first responders arrive and before the fire exceeded 80% damage.

 

Captchas really shouldn't trigger in the middle of a playing session when you are designing more and more mechanics to require active participation and timing.

Captchas are not smart enough to figure out if you are in the middle of a critical task. They happen at set times (exactly 2 hours or exactly  30 minutes since you did your last captcha, depending on how you were tagged by the system). If you want to avoid captchas occurring in the middle of something, you will have to just check what time you did your last captcha and have to play around it.

 

Thanks!
