From what I can see, the hundreds of hackers are the same couple of players, who keep evading IP bans.

... all the staff members (and ANAND in particular) have gone on swiss-vacations ...

I never take a break from moderation even when I'm on a vacation. Believe it or not, I was skiing in the Alps the whole of yesterday, with a laptop in my hand that was connected to CTF's IRC channel. That's how sincere I am. :)

Nice and that is too much, please don't get an accident looking on it.

I might be enough to check it morning for 15 minutes, and maybe keep nearby in evening. But .. to come back about why we posted ... identified, banned ? with 0 at end ?

Enjoy, I fear my daughter will not see snow anymore like this, as we missed that in 2016 and next visit might be another 7 years to wait, and the climate change is not waiting anymore.

Erm... that was supposed to be funny, please don't take it seriously. I don't even know how to ski :)

But on a more serious note, that player has already been banned.

Hate to say this, but player -crocmoney- was also using speedhacks. There was one hilarious moment where nemo_the_retard was getting a way, and right after yelling "HACKER" he zoomed to catch up to the other speedhacker and killed him. I'm gonna mis croco :(.

*EDIT: I had been watching green_monster's screen lol, so we saw the exact same thing.

It cant be that i have to play with running vokocreen, making video of every time I play to be able to see some and have proof, lol
but was funny before with a new map ... good relaxing between reading source code

Hot news: Player -CrocMoney- has been banned for hacking, with Stix' report being the final nail in the coffin.

Help, the floating chest epidemic has begun!

Spoiler

...Who was in the coffin?

The personification of -CrocMoney-'s ban, of course. (If that makes any sense)

Making maps and experimentation with chests ...

Enough chest for everyone ;)

Are you crazy?
This is a karsthafen map, which is filled with tons of chests, now you made it too insane.
I like many chests but you ruined the map.

This is not karsthafen map this was experiment. Karsthafen map has "only" 100 chests in each side. :)

8 FPS are enough for everyone! :D

This is insanity!

On the plus side, everyone just MIGHT be able to get one weapon each :D

Please don't make the buildings on the karsthafen map indestructible! This will destroy a big part of what makes CTF interesting and unique to other CTF types, i.e. the ability to destroy and modify buildings/areas to suit the players purpose. If this functionality is removed gameplay will quickly become static and boring.

On the Skywars server (Telesight's) the islands are indestructible, yet they're both very popular.

I wouldn't say the gameplay is necassarily popular. Most players there just seem to want an unmoderated server where they can swear eachother out and RP (have you been there recently?). Not to mention these are two totally different gametypes. What's good for one game isn't good for them all (looking at all those people who want every major feature from MC implemented in Minetest Game....).

So one map having a lot of indestructible nodes will ruin all of CTF for you? lol
It'll be a unique map. I can't wait to see how the indestructible nodes change how players play.
Also: It looks like tunneling would be impossible. You'll love that. So on second thought please make the nodes destructible

Trust me on this guys: Having some maps with indestructible blocks will not ruin gameplay.

I was referring to gameplay on that map, nice how you add some implied meaning to my words...

>Trust me on this guys: Having some maps with indestructible blocks will not ruin gameplay.

yeah some maps just need to be indestructible
