So just now I am online on 3 bots..

5 is online, 3 on 1 bot and 1 on 2.

Is that a bug, or caused by me browsing incognito in chrome or??

Were your 3 bots connected from the same IP address? That's how the game decides whether or not online bots belong to the same person.

If you give me the ids of the 3 bots, I can check for you.

I went through the game logs. When this behavior is happening (online list showing something inconsistent with your reality, captchas not linked), your bots are connected from multiple IP addresses. The IP addresses are in different countries.

If you're connected to the bots from the same device, it must be because of some difference in settings between whatever you're using to access the game. Are you using different browsers for different bots? Or if you're using the same browser, does one version not have some extension loaded? Do you have any sort of proxy extensions installed or anything that reroutes your traffic in some way?

If you want to figure it out, I would:

  1. On each of the 3 browser/mode variants, go to one of those websites that tells you what your IP address is
  2. Identify which browser/mode is using a different IP than the other 2
  3. Disable every addon/extension/plugin you have on that browser, restart it, and see if it changes your IP to match the others
  4. If it does, slowly turn each addon/extension/plugin back on, continuously checking your IP address to see which one was affecting it

For some reason Firefox gives me a different IP...

What addons/extensions/plugins do you have on Firefox? It might surprise you which one could be re-routing your traffic. Does disabling them change your IP to match Chrome? Do you have proxy settings configured in Firefox?
