After awarding EP, it was randomly Undone

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Honestly I don't know, it happens randomly it seems - I am the only 
person other than the guild master, who sits right next to me, able to 
change officer notes. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

During the raid I awarded GP for items (10 and 4) and the change bumped 
the list around all looked good, and we kept moving. Shortly after I 
pulled the list at the next boss and it had reverted. My log still showed 
the changes but the numbers no longer added up. One person went from 24-28 
back to 24 GP.

What version of the product are you using? What locale is your client (en,
ru, kr, ch, es, tw)? What other addons do you have installed and what
versions?
EN, DBM, Cryolsis and Atlasloot all most recent.

Paste the text surrounded by -EPGP- in Guild Information here:

-EPGP-
@MIN_EP:40
@DECAY_P:10
-EPGP-

If this is about http://epgpweb.appspot.com integration, what is the realm
and region of your guild?

Please provide any additional information below.

Are you having multiple people do EP and GP?

Just the guildmaster who runs the reoccuring, but then does nothing else with 
it, 
and I run all the other crap, since I dont want reoccuring announcing, but I do 
want 
GP changes due to loot announced..

That's the problem then. Only one person should be running EPGP in a raid. 
Otherwise you overwrite each 
other's values. There is not much I can do about this since the API Blizzard 
provides is not that great and they do 
not seem interested in putting in a fix.

We've run in to that problem a few times too. At times we had 3 people modifying
EPGP: the ML awarding GP, another officer awarding boss EP, and another doing 
the
recurring. But recently we figured out how to do the boss EP without it 
forgetting
that it's doing a recurring, so we're just down to 2 now.

I've been trying to think of some way to have multiple people altering the 
officer's
notes at once, but can't. The officer's notes aren't designed to support what 
we're
trying to do.

But perhaps a solution could be to have the EPGP addons of the extra officers 
quietly
submit desired EP and GP changes to a "master" EPGP addon for that raid, so that
"master" addon is the only one that ends up making any changes. Maybe that 
logic can
be as simple as having the Master Looter being the only one who's EPGP will make
changes. For anyone else who is using EPGP to make changes who is not a ML, 
their
addon simply shoots change requests off to the ML's EPGP addon which will make 
the
change. And the ML's addon can log everything then, including from the other 
officers.

Why can't a single person do EP and GP? Is it that hard?

Implementing one thing means something else will be left behind. Time is not 
infinite :-) The question is, is it 
worth it? I think (especially with the addition of lootmaster that will come 
shortly) that it is not.
