Weird bug in MP lobbies?? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I was in lobby this evening and I was not typing but a few messages showed my name as one sending the messages. Now, there were only two people ME and this clown, a player who goes by the following nic-names...

Dr Seuss
Edgar Allan Poe
Stephen King

He somehow accessed my nic and typed a message showing my name as sender??..he didnt leave lobby but somehow sent a message using my name??

How is this possible?

Weird, I am thinking if he can do this than he can "alter" within game very easily!

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Suess and his wife are fine people they do have a few tricks

H does that from time to time too look closely next time to see the suttle differences in how your name appeared.

Yes I am sure they are "Fine" people, and what I noticed was my name when he did it was moved over maybe half or even a full space, subtle but noticable.

Ok, I wonder now "HOW" it was done

~Peace~

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

First time I saw that trick was by a guy named Eirikr. He was uning The Intimidator's name, guy from gamelegue way back when. Funny stuff, he would make Intim say he was invisable and stuff. Play with it, theres no harm that can be done.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Was his original nick name still there, simultaneously?

Because you can simply open your profile and change any field there on the fly while still in the lobby.
