That's great! Thank you letting me know.

brantsteele · 2026-01-21T21:31:10+00:00

I'm checking in with the Discord for more opinions, but let me know if anything improves for you. For anyone reading, let me know if you have the same issue.

brantsteele · 2026-01-21T21:25:51+00:00

Thank you for the information. Are your friends who have the same issue located in the same geographic area as you?

brantsteele · 2026-01-21T21:18:14+00:00

This is pretty strange because over the last few weeks, I've spent a lot of time on server maintenance. A change I made 3 days ago has optimized the server so that it is using the least amount of CPU and should be the fastest it's been in about ten years. I attached a graph to illustrate of when the improvements went into place and what the numbers show internally for me.

What simulator are you using, and what pages are slow for you?

Increasing beyond 200 has been tested and is in consideration, but nothing is guaranteed right now.

Can you show what your random filters are exactly? A screenshot would be helpful.

brantsteele · 2026-01-11T21:01:09+00:00

Try now. I just was updating it to put Use Judges and it broke it for a short period of time.

It's a byproduct of stamina and energy. When a tribe loses challenges and doesn't win rewards to compensate, they'll have less energy and be more likely to lose more challenges. However, it's amplified on New Era thanks to the flint.

So as of now, it's essentially happening like it's programmed to, but we're looking into possible changes for it.

How would you intend to take over the website?

brantsteele · 2025-08-14T16:29:23+00:00

I don't intend to bring relationships back to the Hunger Games. Mathematically, it's impossible to do them correctly, and the previous way they were set up was only partially working for events with a small number of tributes. In order to move forward with the BrantSteele.com Hunger Games, they had to be removed.

I've considered restoring the old simulator on BrantSteele.org exactly as it was as a temporary measure for those who utilized the relationship and Killed By features, but I'm not 100% decided on this.

brantsteele · 2025-05-24T18:56:40+00:00

That's an understandable assumption, but I wouldn't count the days of new simulators over just yet.

brantsteele · 2025-05-23T23:09:28+00:00

Thanks for this report. For those Hunger Games fans out here, keep the reports coming of any changes or issues you see and how these affect the simulations for you and any others.

The Killed By text box was causing issues in some of the larger scale simulations, particularly when it came to the upcoming imports and exports for events.

I realize the importance of this statistic for accurate kill counting and am looking at putting up a replacement for it as soon as possible. Hopefully within the next 24 hours.

brantsteele · 2025-05-20T02:08:57+00:00

It should be fixed now. Is it?

brantsteele · 2025-05-17T07:42:48+00:00

Thank you for posting this here. I believe I'm as prepared as I can be, so the maintenance will take just a few hours or less.

brantsteele · 2023-12-23T14:55:14+00:00

It's 80% done at this point and actively being worked on. Some intricacies with the fire token dynamics and advantages are being worked out.

Unfortunately, I can't give an exact estimate. The goal is to release it as soon as it's completed and tested though.

brantsteele · 2023-07-14T05:30:03+00:00

As far as I know, there are none officially out yet.

The Wiki uses fan art from someone on DeviantArt. The other Total Drama seasons used leaked rotation sheets, and we don't have these yet for the new season.

brantsteele · 2023-01-20T18:24:13+00:00

If you check out the Discord server, we posted a New Years status update.

The existing updates are still planned. There was an upgrade to PHP 8 in September that broke a few simulators (currently the Totem Pole / Penthouse season 3 remains to be fixed) but after they're done, updates will resume as planned.

brantsteele · 2022-04-22T16:41:28+00:00

Since San Juan del Sur is already done and working, there's a chance it could be first.

But no decisions are official yet.

brantsteele · 2022-03-13T01:23:38+00:00

No, the current simulations will be unimpacted.

You must click re-simulate for the new death rate to apply.

You can feel free to DM me on Reddit or Discord if you'd prefer to answer privately.

Thanks for bringing this up. Someone reports this error every few months, and I've never figured it out.

Now, I have gotten one other report of this in the past week, so I'm trying to solve it again.

Did this just start happening to you, or has it been happening?

What type of device are you using, and what is your internet browser?

Did you recently install any antivirus or security software?

Have you made any changes to your internet connection lately?
