Finally, the mystery has been solved, or has it?
Some insight:
If retain a room, a person appears to already be in it, but there's no one in it. You go in, you leave, it goes back to zero. (I still can't explain 1 person always being in public.rank10, but I'm sure the phantom limbo people are either "me"'s or people with botched logouts.
However, once the room retain is used up, the room and roombot are here to stay, and if it's a tv room, it no longer works as a tv room, but just a regular room.
As such, is it that we must wait out the rest of the day to be able to re-retain the room again without the bug happening?
The infamous TV room not working bug, solved?
ONCE THE RETAIN ENDS, IT BREAKS. Normally, the bot leaves or you can reg retain defenestrate, or re-retain, but it doesn't fix it, but rather a reinforced retained bugged regular room.
TL;DR- improper auto-room clearance upon end of retain amount.
How to fix? Look into the whole "room needing to disappear" thing
Or we could just login an alt and tv load the broken room everytime.

I was thinking of just making retains last until the end of the day before they die, even a 1 cookie retain.
The main point of cookie retains is to limit the amount of rooms that show up in the list of rooms.
i shall start making my massive list of tv play videos.
LET THE PINGAS COMMENCE
