Are tou reporting yourself?

[Ordukai]

I already warned you about this in game, and added a note to your account.

Why does this topic exist?

I was in that round. I think it was the escape pods/self destruct were triggered before the alien drop ship crashed into the ship. Oddly enough, when the escape timer hit zero it said round over and did what looked like the usual restarting sequence even though the boarding stage was just starting. In dead chat we assumed it was either a glitch or admin induced. How could escape have been triggered? Wouldn't it have been autodenied without sufficient threat?

[Ordukai]

Yes, the round did start to restart, I turned off OOC and delayed the round end to counteract that. It is a bug, since aliens in the dropship count as in space (the dropship transitions are on a different z-level) and aliens in space are discounted from the round, the entire hive was discounted from the round and the game said "Ok: 50 marines, 0 aliens, 50 aliens in space. Round's over"

This also may happen if the queen is brought up to the ship by the humans, escape is called, and the queen goes back down to the surface to grab the other dropship/any remaining hive members and this time launches it up herself.
