As some of you may have noticed, killer isn't working the way it should. Please be assured that this issue has been escalated and will be fixed as soon as possible.

Please note that taking advantage of the current situation, by gaining points unfairly at the expense of those who are unaware and are interested in playing killer competitively, is equivalent to cheating and therefore against site rules.

What's the issue?

If it's allowed to be posted that is..

I think we should delete every game room or at least enter every to tell them what is up with it.

whos on the night shift then lol

If you want a level playing field until the issue is fixed, the only way to go is to make sure it is as publicly known as humanly possible. Or, as a very much less desirable secondary solution, close access to that game type completely until fixed - freezing daily point loss in the meantime of course.

Exploit secrecy is the single most misguided concept in the history of the Internet.

(in short, if I had the slightest clue what this issue is, I would make damn sure to tell everyone I possibly could)

The issue is basically that potting a ball means you lose a life, and missing a pot means you don't lose one. I've been busy telling rooms this evening.

I can see how that'd cause a problem...

I suggested that the asystolics be rerouted through the neutronium dimension, but apparantly thats not the problem

i would suggest anyone who playes killer and has read this thread not to play till sorted, no good moaning about it after

wow lol

fortunately, that kind of problem is blatantly obvious enough for no one to lose to for any extended period of time.

Sounds like good advice, considering how the first post in this thread (if I read it correctly) implies that winning a game of killer at the moment constitutes cheating

It does? Hmmm... Not sure, but I figured (perhaps wrongly, I dunno) that if I mentioned nothing about the actual problem, then people wouldn't be encouraged to exploit it. But yeah, don't play killer for the moment, everyone!

You'd be surprised... I've spotted one or two in more than one failed game...

Doh, just read this!

I'm in a game 2 lives for each, and we are not potting, i dont know what to do, im not risking my high rank to lose 7 or more points

Nick get this sorted soon, some people are high rank in killer, and dont like daily reductions

Been in the game for 2 hours, he says he's having fun

Couldn't help but have a nose on how that game ended up, Chris

Killer Pool Ranked - techno wins! (2 lives, potted 171 of 172, safe 6 of 171)

Shame the game has messed up like this, but that's an interesting pot success, eh?

:O

If anyone gets stuck in a game like this, contact a mod.

It did boost my turn succes by 1%
Though I aint joining killer till its fixed, takes 2 hours for 1 game

Things are working as normal now.

Well if the issue is/was inverted scoring then that would be a little hard for anyone, knowing or not, to fail to notice, wouldn't you say?

Besides, as I said in my first post, it is very very unfair to keep the lid on such info - the close to 100% of the players who are aware, the more fair it is - regardless of whether or not the exploit gets (ab)used. When everyone is aware, abuse is technically not possible.

Then again, in this case, with that particular bug, the game would be pretty pointless (no pun intended) anyway, wouldn't you agree?
