winning and loosing

today someone used a glitch to crash the game.. i managed to reload into a crashed instance and after i used '/luaui reload' my ui returned and i could move my commander.. i pressed exit and it showed the final score with all score bars running horizontal after the crash..

no games could be completed and it was done so enough times to kill the player count and now the rooms are dead long before they should be.. i want justice.. how do i help to track down this evil

Unlikely intentional. Unless you got proof that someone was doing this?

Guessing its from our clan. Picture for A.png

The error with the clan image is occuring at frame -1. Seems unlikely that it causes a crash four minutes into the game. I expect the clan image simply isn't displayed.

The admins are looking into this.

The analysis I have seen of the replays in question is a bit over my head. I'll let somebody who better understands the situation explain what's happened in these games and the action taken thus far.

firepluck that seems about right.. one time i had like 6 pyro just as they jumped to attack a factory it crashed
dr0ppys factory too no less..

another time it was just as i lost our front-line and were sure to loose from a ball of tanks over-running us

in fact it was always when a game was lost/won

It was Dr0ppy. He has done this at least once before. He has been banned permanently.

katastrophe if you want to help firepluck grow brighter you would need to offer him love.. ummm put a less daunting way.. a willingness to understand and help him.. so that its not an attack but rather as a friend guiding in defense against pain.. firepluck deserves friends and his 'ways' are a long story.

i believe you do intend to help and are a good man katastrophe.. no need for the sword yet.. he wont change and you will hurt him just as he has hurt others.

due to the way pride works if you point only at your own cruel natures it will allow those willing to reflect on similarities a chance to approach it within there own found strength inspired by the bravery.. i would be hesitant to detest lest others distance themselves of it and the lesson.

if i scald him he will continue to become darker in nature. of course he makes sense as indeed all will always be what made sense.. even what he chose was meant to pass before us.. we can help him heal from all cruel acts but to do so is a long road he will not likley walk in this lifetime.. so it is perhaps better for your soul katastrophe if you let his actions go. and 'turn the other cheek' 'so to speak' after all if he is changing and he may be.. he will need to know he will be welcomed. water under the bridge.

i used to be like firepluck.. it was never about others i was just caught up in my own world.. but sometimes people learn to care again.. firepluck has grown allot and is nicer then he has ever been to my memory.. i think he even complimented some people. fire some kindness at him and it wont feed his fears

will he wont he.. be a nice guy.. maybe.. probably not but faith goes along way to help a man.. he has though already shown promise.. he has already shown growth and kindness.. i would forgive him.. if i am human he is my bro

today he said "very nice work" to a new player .. for me that's normal so i hardly noticed it but it might be new for him and maybe a good sign that we are holding him to a past he is leaving behind
