Fixed the personality bug ๐ I'm pretty sure anyway. I also made the incremental adjustments I talked about anyway because they make sense to me right now, so that's for healthy me to debate later ๐๐ maybe try the new version (after clearing cache and cookies) and see if the magic bug still exists? maybe I stomped it by accident?
It's gone. I installed Firefox on my first laptop, started the game, reloaded, got the bug, cleaned cookies, cache and everything, started again, reloaded - there is no bug anymore. Tried several times, no bug.
Update: something is not right, I'll keep digging
Update2: OK, I've narrowed it to only one option :)
Started a new game. Saved, loaded, got the bug. Cleared cookies and cache only, started again, got the bug. Cleared cookies+cache+login information, got the bug. Cleared cookies+cache+login+form & search history, started again, the bug is gone. So it looks like "form & search history" is to blame. Hope it helps :)
