After seeing these new hackers and their crazy scores, I'm reminded and a little worried about something I saw a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. My brother-in-law was over at my house playing a couple weeks ago (we play together on weekends a lot) and he was commanding. He was all excited as the clock was counting down that he was going to get over 100 points, because his team was winning and he had something like 53 points or so. The clock counted down, and at the end of the round his score showed not as 106 like we expected, but it showed as 230 instead. Somehow he had gotten approximately 4 times his score instead of two but neither of us could figure what had triggered this problem.
Has anyone else ever seen this and is this similar to what is going on with these crazy-scoring 'sploiters? I would hate to somehow unknowingly get 200, 2000, 20000 points in a round without knowing why, only to have my own stats whacked. *shrug*
It's probably not a real concern but still interesting. It would seem that as at least a basic measure they could get some number of 'conceivable points per round/minute' or something and just red flag the heck out of people sooner. I mean, who gets 4000 points in a round lasting less than 5 hours?
