Welp, I'm bored - Bugged Games

[evan]

Hello there, Evan here. I was looking around and noticed that I was able to bug many games everytime I try, and was thinking if there might be some possibilities to create a hack from that. Like, for instance, "ghosting" yourself so that the server doesn't understand that you ARE in the game and shows you as back in the lobby. Here's how I sort of outlined a method I was thinking about:

Code:

For our purposes, we will use Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3

1.) Player 1 joins the game.
2.) Player 2 bugs the game.
-- NOTE: This causes the game to appear full to the server. --
3.) Player 3 joins the game, but is ghosting, so the server is tricked into thinking he's not there.
-- NOTE: Since the server isn't aware of his presence there, it will not save him. --
4.) Player 3 drops an item or multiple items.
5.) Player 3 leaves the game
-- NOTE: Player 3 was not saved, so he still has the items on him. --
6.) Player 1 picks up the dropped items and leaves.
-- NOTE: Player 1 WAS saved, so he has the items saved in his inventory now. --

I spent about 5 minutes outlining that. It seems like the only "road block" is trying to find out how to sort of "ghost."

Code:

Bugged (noun), Word that describes a game that isn't full but appears to be full.

Ghost (verb), The action of going into full games, etc, without being tracked by the server.

Yes, I am fully aware that I am insane. With the ghosting part aside, it sounds like it would work.
