my xp is still not correct

Plot had told me before the october event that my xp was 838, which did not include the october event's xp nor the gameday after that. But at logistics for the january event, my xp total was STILL 838, without the xp for the october event or the gameday.

Can we please get this resolved?
 
Been dealing with this problem on my character sheets since I started. It's stored in Microsoft Access. Hence some of the problems. My favorite is when the build total is correct, but I suddenly am missing skills. I've gotten used to carrying around my character sheets from prior events, knowing that at every event, it will have to be fixed.
 
That's a good idea, i'll start doing that. and yeah, i'd noticed that before, i've had to rebuy weapon proficiences a few times now. I'll start keeping a prior sheet on me for any gameday or event i go to.

We've all had problems with holding onto our skills for about as long as we've been playing, I promise it's not a funny joke. My best suggestion is to hold onto past character cards and recipts so you can prove what games you've been to. Hopefully we'll get discrepencies sorted out in the very near future.

oh trust me, we all deal with it, I had the phantom resisit command as seth for years, every now and again it would appear one event and be gone a game day or to later just to reapear again a month or two down the road, it was like suprise to see what skills I had when I made it to the game.
 
Remember, the database is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate (thank you Douglas Adams).

In other words, the database does not "lose" skills, xp, or build. It's easy to blame the technology, but save for one incredibly unfortunate instance of data corruption a few years back (that cost several days of reconstruction and a fight with the Alliance that goes on even today), every instance of errors reported has been caused by either user error (overwriting one copy of the database with another, failing to update someone's build, etc) or player error (yes, we *did* give you build, and it *is* reflected in your current build total, despite what you seem to think).

I guess what I'm saying is that while the database *does* have its flaws, frequent data loss isn't one of them. All of the advice so far in this thread is sound proof against the two types of errors I mentioned above, so do heed it, but please for the love of build stop blaming the database.
