I was just in a game where I observed a player by the name "Zikamaru" sit in in the middle of the game. The board in the corner went crazy and showed him sitting in about twenty times in a row. He then was recorded as having won first place, and left. He had a score 0f 1962! The game was still going after he left. This is clearly a bug in the system and while it does not affect other players in the games in question, this throws off the curve completely and is just plain dirty. I don't know how it was done, but it warrants investigation.

at 7:45 PM, Sunday February 25, 2007 EST I was in the same game as woodcubed and saw this with my own eyes. We were the only players there - the player popped in, sat for a round as a color that had already been killed with no territories, "won" as soon as I took a territory, and disappeared. Never seen anything like it.

at 9:05 PM, Sunday February 25, 2007 EST Yes, the player who appeared to sit in was "Shikamaru", I think woodcubed just mis-spelled it.

This probably worked like this, player A starts a game and is about to lose, in a different browser window logs out and back in as user B, then he sits back at the game in the first browser window. This is just speculation of course :) And yes zombies have the tendency of getting first place and lots of points ... |

at 12:14 AM, Monday February 26, 2007 EST Does this explain why the leaderboard is full of insane gains?
Or are people really getting +370 and +580 |

at 2:35 PM, Monday February 26, 2007 EST Holic was in 4th place, logged back in as a color that was already out and did this:
Holic finishes 4th. Rank: 379th Rating: +24 1687. (+17 for 4th and +7 for dominance) Holic stands up Holic was holed up in a corner most of the game -- no more than four territories to his name. There's no way in a 1600 room he'd get that much. That's got to be a hack of some sort. |

at 3:10 PM, Monday February 26, 2007 EST Not only that, but I just seemed to lose 30 points when the game told me I lost 10. Something buggy this way comes?
