Given allegiance's history, it certainly takes no stretch of the imagination to believe an exploit is to blame.

In the middle of a game, you can crash the server by plugging a microwave into your USB port and making a burrito.

Plus you get a burrito! Win-Win.

I've searched all the way through the Academy with no joy.

What's a burrito?

A presumbably Mexican dish.

I'm skeptical, but it could be

also: tasty burrito

aahh .. . burrito, tacos.
watch

if people are suspicious perhaps note the time of crashing and then that could be used to find out who is in the server, then compare them all to see any common elements.

does allegiance send a message when it exits (a kind of "i'm going now" ) ? does asgs send a message when its client closes "my client just closed"
if they did then it would be easy to log CTDs and disconnections, because

if they exit normally by closing their client,
allegiance sends "i'm going now" then closes
asgs sends "my client just closed

if they CTD or force allegiance to close with task manager terminating the process
allegiance closes
asgs sends "my client just closed

if they get disconnected (say un-plugged their internet)
the server stops receiving stuff from them and drops them, nothing is received from the client or asgs

if they close their client and only "i'm going now" is received, then perhaps they didn't have asgs running or something

I was playing a game earlier today, and someone was definitely playing on yellow, but they quit during the game after a poor start, and at the end of the game I couldn't see them on the stats board? Probably not related to this but it might be an exploit of some kind?

I saw that the other day, not the same person gandalf is talking about - or maybe a hider, I dont remember his name tho but it was not the one gandalf is talking about. He was also in the losing team.
