False messages WOL

[Cybopache]

>:(

I have just got off WOL and there I had an experience I dont understand.I joined a game and started to conversate

with the other players and suddently there were others answering in MY NAME >:(,he was spamming and telling lies in MY NAME >:(

How can that happend?

Is it one of the bugs in the game allowing it?

I don`t find that amusing,so if any one can tell I`ll be glad.

So watch out for players doing that and they should be black listed or ducked.

Its a little devious trick you can do, though not many people pull it off right and end up making complete jackasses of themselves...

It's not a bug. I've seen this before, people have done it to me, and I know how to do it back. It can be funny when you do it with friends that know you're just joking around!!

Most of the time, nothing good comes out of it though. I won't explain how to do it, for obvious reasons, but if people do it to you and you don't like it, just ask them to stop.

You can easily see who is the one that is trying to impersonate you by looking at who sent the message before the 'spoof' message.

I simply blacklist those kind of people. I don't duck them. If they page me I ignore them. If they enter my rooms, I give them the boot. Sooner or later, they get fed up and move on.

Do they leave spaces? ???

[sarb]

Yep

[ken124578]

Yeah, it's a trick, if you know how to do it you can do something like this:

ken124578 : Hey guys.

player X : I suck.

Player XX : Me too.

Hehe.

[lowzeewee]

You need to know exactly how much spacing you need. ;)

[ken124578]

Well, you don't need to know exactly how many spaces you need, you'll get the hang out of it after awhile. :P

[Warskum]

U shouldnt take it to serious just tell ppl u know the trick to then they usely stop. Me and skump0wr (leo) do this often to eachother its pretty funny.

[rigel6669]

You just have to make a normal text like rigel6669: "hi" followed by enough blanks '60 blancos' followed by "name: this is not me"

You can easely find out who typed it by looking at the name of the player 1 line above the message that is not yours

well I don`t take it too serious,but I was caught off guard u know,but thanks for the replys by the way.
