Never knew I was THAT bad at pirates....

Anyways, today I was trying to earn a few credits for the upcoming holidays, so I was playing a few games of friendly Capture the Flag, with two files open at once. My brother mistakenly shot his other file one too many times, and caused an explosion that destroyed himself - leaving me on the field.

Here was the result (sorry not able to show the full picture, due to both ****** Applications being open at once):

Each player got this message with a -1 and a "GAME CANCELED" message. This was very strange considering we were all there, and other than multiple files open, it had been played as a normal game. I'm not exactly sure whether our score was added to, kept the same, or 1 was taken away.

Just thought I'd share

Well, VMK now cancells games if they're all with the same IP address and all that junk.

No, they won't cancell if ALL players talk, since it shows there are REAL people playing.

Seriously? Must have missed that.

Well, a bit more effort on my part then...

EDIT: Well now I have to test this out

I never knew that either. Report back on what happens Whipstersh, I would hate to end up with -1!! (mind you there is many a time when I have had 0, rofl).

haha technically, if he doesn't get any other credits then that, then it will be negative 22 rotfl. pay to play.

the_phoenix cleared it up with me in-game. This was just his theory on why it happened.

Still a mystery on why it actually happens

Are you sure about this, Phoenix? My buddy and I play pirates while sitting next to each other at my kitchen counter on our laptops, and we are both on my wireless router and have the same IP address. It has never happened to me.
