Title: Interesting little incident.

Has this happened to any of you? We have no idea why, but those UnnamedPlayers just spawned and they weren't controlled by anything. As the humans shot them, the just twisted to the contortions on the page below:

damn... that's pretty cool
I've seen other matrix lags before. I wonder if there is a way to control it

It's evil because about 1/3 of the time the spawn gets permanently blocked. This especially sucks when your base is being attacked and all the would-be defenders are in the spawn queue.

lol, ive seen this happen in enemy territory Oo. its friggin much awesomer in et tho, cus there, when it happens, the size and shape of the players body twists and changes and makes it look ridiculous... what happened when i experienced this in et, was that some lag bug or whatever it was made a twisted duplicate of all theplayers, cluttering up the spawn area XD.

It's all about having the lag-players have a party. For example:

This guy starts it off with trying to...break-dance...while the guy on the right stomps to keep the beat, and the guy in the background is finishing up the lighting

Can't forget the machingun strobe lights (left) while someone's doing a head spin thing...

Unfortunately for the humans, the tyrants came and crashed the party...
