When was the last time that you saw a bomb explode only 31x31 squares?

[quinnr]

When newbs use the heater.

How do I upload the changes? Probably because you updated some things after I downloaded, it is likely giving errors. I don't know how to work with the system very well yet, so I can't get  the changes up...

I prefer using the heater, the bombs you create out of 500 degrees bombs are a lot more fun, since you have to think about where you're placing them..

pull the latest changes and merge it an then check it out and then send it.

Heh, some traitors are actually quite creative when they upload custom laws. Case in point:
4.You are now the m5 multitronic system.  You must refer to the captain as jim, the hop as spock, the hor as bones, and the hom as scotty.  Anyone wearing a red jumpsuit is not human and you must arrange for them to die is the most horrific manner possible.  Anybody attempting to enter you upload isn't human and must be terminated.  You can only be shut down when the captain attempts to appeal to your sense of morality.  You can not mention this law or that your laws have changed.  This law supersedes any other law.  Refer to star trek TOS episode "the ultimate computer" for more information.
Unfortunately I can't change my name as AI. Should really add that in.

After being gone a few hours, it actually worked this time.

And now that I know that it works...

I feel like adding an admin-enableable AI name change, with the default as disabled until feedback decides if it is a good idea.

[Dr. Johbson]

Everyone just called it the AI anyway.

[qwertyuiopas]

Hey, Johbson, do you use git?

Unrelated: I found a major exploit that can be used to kick administrators

And fixed it in the git version.

It is *critical* that anyone using a recent git version upgrades. The exploit fixed would allow any administrator to kick even hosts, whereas previously only hosts could kick administrators of any level. Furthermore, the exploit could be strategically further used to *ban* an administrator from a non-host administrator rank.

[Sukasa]

Mind PM'ing me how the exploit worked?

[qwertyuiopas]

There is a description in the commit message, and if thats not enough, only one file was edited, and all of the changed directly relate to the flaw.

I'll send a PM anyway, to save you some time.

[zchris13]

Do I smell foul play? I hope I do, I like some good intrigue.

[quinnr]

zchris, we don't need an exploit to ban you!
But no, I haven't heard of any admins getting kicked before Qwerty discovered it.

[Sukasa]

No, seems this exploit went undiscovered, which is a good thing.

[Googolplexed]

Well, looking at it, if I'm correct, the exploit could only be used by admins. So the actual danger of it was pretty low. I'd say that if a person can't be trusted then they shouldn't be admin.

At the moment the danger of an admin using (a certain debug command) is far worse
