I noticed a bug on the kill run against First Gunslinger, his land kept randomly increasing. As soon as he got below 40 acres he would jump up to about 100 acres. I didn't catch as much of the details as Urran did (I was logged out for most of it) but I talked to him on AIM and he noticed the same thing. Very strange bug.

There Urran, I posted the bug for you, now hopefully your next attempt will go a little better ;)

How do you know he isn't just scouting? Logging in hidden.

We are running the same code as you guys are and we have had a lot of kills this set and no reports of anything like this. Not sure if people have just not noticed.

Nuke is First Gunslinger, and as far as I know, he was logging in hidden. I saw that there was either an invisible user or an admin login at one point when he jumped, and that's the story he gave me when I asked about it.

If Nuke wasn't logging in, you might also look into the possibility of a Life Preserver being run. I don't honestly know that we have a rule against such things, so it's entirely possible...

Twas a joke. I would log in, scout 1 turn and then log out and wait for my land to get dangerously low again. After Urran and Rudder noticed it I chatted with Urran on AIM about his failed kill run, and he said something similiar to, "Yeah, for some strange reason his land kept jumping up everytime we got him low." So I made this thread as a quasi inside joke.

Just to ensure that nobody views them differently for trying to kill me I actually advised them on doing it from a strategic perspective and harbor absolutely no ill feelings towards them for trying or succeeding their kill run.

Ah, a joke. Ok... Mmm. Maybe I should get more sleep... :P

Meh, yeah, that was going to be our explaination. A tactical strike, done to counter your tactical land dropping, with no hard feelings or ill intent toward the targeted party.

Well, Mr. Holmes, I am sure the Force is indebted to you for your previous work, so we'll overlook this little incident now.
