6. Rejoin
7. Be kicked back to lobby to join as a marine (or Xeno)

Moved to bug rather then suggestions.

actually this works by just ghosting,whilst marine or xeno.its not just larva it affects.

edit:can also be done by cryoing yourself.

I been hearing talk of this as well in Dchat.

It is quite worrying that some people might go out of their way to do that just to spite the xenos and respawn on the marine side of the fray. I believe the reason they get away with it is due to their body being deleted in some way (such as burning it or gibbing), which removes it from play and thus means they are able to get back in as the same person... Which is really weird for those that saw them die earlier in the round with no recovery of their body.

I don't think its possible to die and do it.you have to ghost or something.if you log out for 30 minutes and log back in its brings you back to the title screen.

If you die you join as a xeno and do it, so technically you can.

if you ghost as a xeno,its counted as ghosting and not dying,atleast in my eyes.unless you mean you can do it by dying as a xeno...

You ghost as xeno, leave and wait ten minutes, and if someone joins whilst your in the xeno, your kicked to lobby, rejoin, bam, marine again.

I think if you rejoin as marine twice, it may be bug abuse, since you're breaking the entire RP, but i'm not sure

It is bug abuse...

[MrJJJ]

Think this might need a fix before Apop goes insane and starts a massive bug abusers hunt to ban them for this kind of thing

[Snypehunter007]

This is a ongoing bug I believe, because I have seen things on the forums of people doing this. Using this bug is indeed bug abuse and using it may warrant a ban.

Asking this to be moved to confirmed.

[apophis775]

Abusing this, will result in bans. Well move this too confirmed and get a card ASAP.

[forwardslashN]

Fixed.
