Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The scientists' guild card says "the best symbol will be chosen for you automatically." The log seems to show that a different symbol is chosen instead. Specifically, "mechanism" was chosen, according to the log, when "writing" was the best symbol. When writing is chosen, my science points = 16 (writing) + 1 (mechanism) + 1 (geometry) + 7 (set) = 25. When mechanism is chosen, my science points = 9 (writing) + 4 (mechanism) + 1 (geometry) + 7 (set) = 21.

Report history
Move #94
Progression 99%
I had four wheels, three tablets, one compass, and the scientists guild. The best symbol for the scientists guild would be a compass. This would yield two sets = 20 pts, 4 for the compass cards, 9 for the tablets, and 16 for the wheels, for a total of 49 points.
Instead, I was given only 43 points. This indicates that the scientists guild was assigned to be a tablet, yielding one set for 10 pts, compass for 1 pt, 16 tablet pts, and 16 wheel pts.
sevenwonders?table=161778126
screenshot saved & available if useful - in this case i had
1 Writing (tablet)
2 Mechanism (gear)
2 ... whatever (compass)
& science guild.
so adding 1 writing would make it 4 + 4 + 4 + 7 + 7 = 26
gamelog said I was given a mechanism, which would yield only 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21
but score sheet showed 26.
similarly, another player was playing Babylon, and had only 1 Mechanism. Gamelog showed them being awarded a writing, but they got 4 points.
It seems possible that the game log is just always using the wrong word? nothing I can find actually expresses what the mapping is between the icons and the words used in the game log.
I had both the Guild and Board (extra symbols) and 2/1/1. Log indicates Geo and Writing selected.
Calculated score 26 (which I can't reach with any green combination).
Based on log should be 3/1/4 = 21. Optimized should be 3/3/3 = 30. Closest to calculation 3/1/2 = 25.
@shadowscratch: no idea how you're calculating things, let alone get to 3/3/3 with only 6 symbols...
The result is correct: postimg.cc/gallery/G8gtm3k (neilsutcliffe.com/7wonders/)
best symbol : 2 (writing) + 4 (mechanism) + 2 (geometry) , 4+16+4+(2x7) = 38
but in this game : 3 (writing) + 3 (mechanism) + 2 (geometry) , 9+9+4+(2x7) = 36

wrong symbol also gets chosen for the Babylon part II wonder, which also promised to choose the best card, which would have been geometry in this case...
Same here, I had 4 Writing symbols and no other symbols. Then I also had Babylon Stage 2 and the Scientists Guild.
The game gave me 4 Writing + 1 Mechanism + 1 Geometry = 25 points.
If it gave me 2 more Writing, I would be getting 6 Writing = 36 points.
