Game 265442 - erm, what?

Hi
I'm pretty new here, but having looked at game 265442, i have to ask:
Is this some rather hefty bug that occasionally crops up, or is this a case of server abuse? The player number is HUGE!

regards
Davos

if it is a bug, at least it has a player limit so it will be a playable game (unlike the last bug which let in unlimited people, so half of them couldn't play)

It could be intentional, its called Battle Royale, cram as many people onto a map as possible and wait for the bloodbath

It's not a sanctioned game and will be dealt with.

Apparently by having ALL territories go neutral :)

Have fun sorting it out mods.

the territories are neutral because we can't even have one full territory because of how many people are in this game

If someone keeps taking their turn everyday wont they win and therefore get a ton of points...also, do battle royale games exist? this has to be a glitch, no?

I deleted both of them games.

This fellow is exploiting a number of weaknesses in the code.

I'll patch up the holes!

Ok, so this guy was abusing a bug. But why was the 2nd game deleted?

How do the colours work in a Battle Royale?

Question

Lack,

That game with all the players that was screwed up, the same guy started a 2 player, freestyle, game with me. Thats right, 2 player. His name was something "southern" I think. I "won" the game, as he made no effort exceot for some very strange chat.

Last night he had 2 of those big dead games going, right? Did u see the 2 player I am talking about?

I was looking in my finished game folder to give you the game number, but I didn't see it, but I was looking very fast.

Just wondering

Thanks,

Windparson

Something in the address bar?

I guess, he just forged a page that allows him to enter any number of players. In fact I'm a bit surprised it even worked, I think letting a script check its input is quite...erm...standard.

Exactly. And now we are up to standard :)
