Hello. I was playing a Topic Mash from the subcategory "The Two Towers" about the Tolkien novel. When I completed it, it showed a text saying "inconsistent score. Message sent to admin. Aborting." I don't know what happened, I don't care for the points, but I really didn't do anything bad or violating the site's rules.

What most likely happened is that your operating system routinely adjusted the system clock by a few seconds while you were playing. If it adjusts by more time than you took for the question, your time for the question is negative (and your question score would have been above 100), which is obviously inconsistent, so it discarded the game.

Nothing to worry about
