Name Exploit Bug

Postby clefsphere2 » Sun Jun 09, 2019 11:36 am

Hello! I'm here to report a bug that is mostly used by one player in Master's ELO! This guy always chooses the name :"WmWmWmWmWmWm...." which is so long, that when he pops up in the graveyard it actually hides his name.

This isn't a big deal in cases like this screenshot, where we steamrolled the evils, but I have seen it affect the late game when people forget what his role was an don't realize that the last random town was already taken!

This exploit is fairly powerful. Using it is like a weaker version of the janitor role. I'm attaching a screenshot here to prove what I am saying.

This is only affecting to "soon" to be replace flash client, as the display of a players name and role differs from the current and the upcoming client.
Due that that wil this not be addressed afaik.

What puzzles me about this is, as far as I can tell, this "exploit" never benefits him.

It merely seems to decrease Town's win chances when he's Town.

I beleive the window that opens when you select a dead player to view their will and possible deathnote contains their role in brackets.

Does it?

If it does, I didn't know, and I'm a master ELO player with over 1500 games played.

It doesn't benefit him, really, but it creates confusion, which is good if he's evil. And this player is very spammy/trolly so I think that's just what he wants anyway. Regardless of role allegiance.

All I know is that this won't be possible in the upcoming client, while it will not be adapted on the current one.

I'll move this to not bugs for now.
