The photon immunity bug within unlimited games, that gives the defender an unparalleled advantage, (this is especially true if the offensive is unware of this bug.) The unlimited FO bug that keeps refilling the planets you are attempting to invade, during certain instances, making it impossible to actually invade them. Then my personal favorite, the bug that stops all personal messages until you logoff and then backon, in the meantime you recieve no messages from figs, limets, mines, cannons, etc.


I was not saying people get mocked for asking about a bug, was saying they get mocked for claiming that somebody must have used a bug, becuase there is not other explanation that is feasible. As of course the other players is only going to deny it and that player as more then likely been around longer so everybody is going to side with them as only the majority of newer players are unaware of the bugs anyways, hence why they are mocked, while the one(s) they are accusing is/are mostly always shielded.

I am redoing the ANSI's so that the actual animation can be viewed again. Also most of the have not been touched since the early 90's so I figure they are need of some needed renovation. Again, to those that think ANSI's are lame, simply CN2. As I say thank you for your thoughts, but I don't care to hear any comments from you.

Rexx - If ANSI was a horse, it would be so lame it couldn't even run.... (and that sentence was just to mess with you - GL with the ANSI's they do need to be reworked a bit for those that use them).

It doesn't actually KEEP refilling them, but until recently, no one really understood what was causing it. I understand it now (it's related to planets not updating until you try to land on them), but John hasn't really been feeling like doing any work on TW. btw, this bug nailed me in the first game of TW I ever played. The only work around is to press L in the sector with the planets as soon as you make it in, so they regen then. Then start working on the mothing again.

This was originally a time sync bug and we thought it was fixed. As it stands now, we're unsure what is causing it, so it's rather hard to fix. As far as I've noticed, it's a lot less common than it used to be (I haven't actually experienced it since the new time sync code was added).

However, with both of these bugs, they're not really things that people can exploit, so they don't really apply to your point.

This is the case because at least 80% of the accusations of bug use are unfounded. Additionally, if you are accusing a well known player of bug use, the percentage of erroneous complaints goes to nearly 100%. Finally, all accusations of bug use posted here are nothing but flame wars. They achieve nothing. If you think someone is using a bug, you need to take it to the sysop.

Believe me Rexx they do take it to the sysops, we sysops hear more about it than it gets posted in here.
