    &gt; &gt; Seems this has already been resolved logically, if not in
    &gt; &gt; implementation,
    &gt; &gt; by the expedient of calculating success based on a
    &gt; &gt; particular state of
    &gt; &gt; the situation (lock and person).
    &gt;
    &gt; Storage issues arise with this. How many tried locks or
    &gt; attempted pickers
    &gt; are you going to keep track of?

I would suspect that you would just keep track of the last one
attempted per player (ie, player.last_picked_lock or whatever).
That'll stuff the macro's up.  And that's all you really want, isn't
it?

Regards,

Ian.
