Oh you are referring to that trolling question. For some reason Elizondo believes I said somewhere that Sleeper isn't triggered. I never said that, and he can check through the post history to confirm lol. He seems to believe the only word you can use for activating a game mechanic is "triggered". Sadly he must not have his thesaurus nearby, or maybe he is triggered himself?

What I said was Sleeper is a a timer by vote. The vote is the "trigger". Every day players do not kill all four Warders, they are voting to extend the Sleeper timer by another day. When they do vote to kill all four Warders, they "trigger" Sleeper.
The reason why I say it is a timer by vote is because realistically speaking any server with a decent population statistically wakes the Sleeper. It is not a question of if, but when. If you want me to say the Sleeper script isn't triggered by a timer function, you are probably correct. I never made that claim on a technical level, and I haven't seen the code.
As Ooloo correctly pointed out earlier, my comparison of Manastone to Sleeper is an analogy. Manastone is a fixed timer, and Sleeper is a timer by vote. Both are true, because they could be programmed that way and they wouldn't work any differently to the end user than what we have now. Whether it is a timer that gets extended or a trigger that gets triggered is irrelevant to the point. Elizondo is basically trying to score points by thinking that if the script isn't triggered by a timer function, my whole analogy somehow becomes moot. It is quite silly.
