Your own teammate is carrying your team's flag!

click me

(Note: There was no cheating involved here. This is what happens when you run D3Server for too long w/o rebooting.

All kinds of wierd stuff starts happening.)

Trust me, Grendel; the fact that a similar (or occasionally the same) picture has been posted in the past has never stopped me from putting another one up.

Thanks for the pic, MD. I found it funny that I found out about the submission here before finding it in my inbox.

I'll get it up there tonight.

This isn't a flag bug. It's a bug in the player appearing to be on the wrong team on some people's screens. It can happen right at the beginning of a game too. We used to have to check the f7 lists before starting D3TL matches to make sure everyone appeared to be on the team they were actually on.

Fix it by having the player who appears to be on a different team switch teams back and forth using the f6 menu.

Thing is Suncho, he WAS on our team. Someone else on the blue team had just scored just before I took that pic. Everyone saw Bunny on our side (red). This was a server-side issue. Sheep's server has to be restarted every now and then.

Hehe -- I didn't want to prevent that at all. But the first two shots I linked are by me so I had to poke at MD

Used to? As far as I know that's Always been an issue.
