Buddy System Working?


PaizoCon General Discussion


So my daughter and I got two different lottery picks.

Can someone look into this? This is our third year and using the buddy system has never been an issue. I just checked and I did transfer the ticket to her (D20Dragon).

Buddy for both of you is listed as "null". Looking more into this.

Did one of you submit the buddy request and the other account accept it?


And my buddy and I got nothing in our lottery events, which has not happened in any of the three previous years. Might be reality, but I'm a bit surprised.

Also, something is preventing my buddy from signing up for Serpent's Ire - wondering if this was because it was listed as a lottery event at first, but then showed up as an open sign up?


I'm confused. I had to make her my buddy to transfer the ticket right? Isn't that how it worked last year?

So at this point do we give up our lottery draws?

Don't give them up yet. Let me check into some things.

Once you transfer a ticket, you still have to have one account request the buddy and the other account confirm it to ensure both parties consent to be buddies.

That error with Serpent's Ire is not due to buddies, its something with the event.

That may be the case, but another friend and I were both able to sign up for it, while at the same time I was not able to register my son. I was logged into his account on a different computer, even had my friend try logging into his account on his computer, none of it worked. Given that two us us were able to sign up, I presumed it had to do with my son being my buddy, since Serpent's Ire was on the lottery selections.

In any case, I'll stop posting in two different threads about the same issue.

OK so I remember her accepting but you are saying that is only for the ticket and that I needed to then issue another request to be a buddy. Dangit. I thought I set it up for us properly.
