Ok guys... that game is over. There is no need to continue arguing about it here on Shrapnel.

But but but... he started it.

In any case. WE're not aguing about _that_ game at least to my knowledge. I'm just arguing about something I feel strongly about.

"Yeah, well, MM made it so you can't do it anymore, so I guess it is an exploit, innit?"

You can still open warp points to adjactant systems, and it's still quite possible to build a more efficent warp network..so no.

Bug exploits are bad though. I tend to include a clause whereby all known bug exploits are Banned in my games. Then, I add new ones to the list as I find out about them.

[gravey101]

Right, and that's the only way to do it IMO. I woudn't play in a game again where the host didnt do that. Cuts out all the subjectiveness and leaves the nastiness and insults to the battlefield where they should be.

EB is an ackernim for an exploit. Many of us have been asked not to spread it around. So I will not go into detail about it. Lets just say that it has been around for a long while, and if used would allow a player an unfair advantage.

Most players do not use it, and when they do, you'll know about it. Trust me.

Gee THANKS from all the No0Bi3z. thats like saying
"Your in danger!"
"how so?"
"not telling"
"WHY?"
"Well, when you cut your thumb off, you will know why. Trust me"

couslee, it's not a matter of keeping something secret so it can be used against newbies. Bugs are often not discussed openly in the forums until they are patched out to keep unethical people from becoming aware of them and exploiting them.

It's not to keep it secret from you, it's to keep it from being used against you.
