Test server is owned

People have figured out how to control other people's sessions on the test server. They can make them flag, Sit Out, Sit In, whatever. Happened to an entire table just about 15 minutes ago. You can no longer trust the integrity of the game.

Supposedly, it's easier to do if people are running Firefox, but I was running IE and got flagged without my consent. So, they may have figured out how to pwn IE as well.

Basically, it's not worth playing there until the hole gets fixed. Supposedly it *can* be fixed, but Ryan is on vacation, so it might take a while.

Too bad... I was mostly playing over there. But I'm not sure what's the point, if people can just end your game without your consent?

I assume that this hack doesn't apply to the main kdice game, but if you see some weird s--- happening in your game, this might be it.

Oh, and, technically, the srver hasn't been owned. The perps were saying that it is a client-side exploit. That's why you need Firefox, supposedly. Something about HTML injection.....

loool!
it's all relative from your point of view - but in any case FFX is the best -
let's hope that can 'bring about change'

Bump, just in case people on the test server wonder why it is actng strangely. I guess this is what a "beta" is for, but I doubt too many people are going to be playing there in the interim.

It won't work at all if you're using IE or Safari - just use one of those browsers for dicing until Ryan gets back. It's a simple thing to fix.

Anybody that is doing this will be permantly banned, accounts deleted, etc.

Please play the test server because we need to test the new game.
