Sibling bug

@Ian I noticed when I traded eggs to my sister earlier that she got a few months ago on my account (she got them without me knowing -.-) that the eggs she traded me wouldnt allow me to feed them, which poses a problem because at least 2 are close to death. Im pretty sure its because we share the same router, but other than that I dont have a idea as to why it would mess up.

@cosmicbrambleclaw
Has she already fed them?

@cosmicbrambleclaw
Feeds (and all other stats) are based on unique IP address. So if your sister or anyone else logging in from your IP address feed those creatures then you or anyone else on that IP address won't be able to feed them either.

So if your sister already fed those creatures today, that is why you can't feed them now and its not a bug.

@purrclan yeah, thats why I thought it was a IP error, because she was using my ethernet cord this morning

@Orderedchaos thats what I thought was the issue, cause I remembered reading that in the FAQ or forums somewhere, I wasnt sure though because she didnt use my computer specifically, just the ethernet cord that I use to connect to our router. in the past when we had a wireless router we could both be on the cave and wouldnt have this issue, it just happened today

@cosmicbrambleclaw
This isn't a bug, then; that's just how Egg Cave works.

I wasnt sure if it was because of that or a actual bug

@cosmicbrambleclaw
Not a bug. Don't use the same IP address as your sister next time.

@Orderedchaos
Can you close this? The problem seems to have been solved.
