Strange chat message from an unknown player (hack attempt)?

Postby spamme1 » Mon Jan 06, 2020 3:08 pm

On d1 a player named "Marry Warren" claimed jailor and asked for TP/LO (s. attached picture)
The message was strangely indented but what was even more strange was that there wasn't any player named "Mary Warren".
Could it have been a hack attempt?

No it was not, the player Axecutioner caused this message, they either used a lot of spaces to craft a line break to have "Marry Warren" say something, or attempted to use a masked new line character for the line break. You can also see that "Mary Warren" is not bolded like the other names.

Moving to not bugs.
