I just had a weird experience - Faction Play in Tourmaline Desert - Hold the Beacon for 1:30m
We played against a MJ12 premade and suddenly lots of our teammates disconnected with server error. The opposite side didn't seem to be affected. After rejoin they won the match with 3/4 of my team offline. How can that be?

Normally all of the players disconnect when something is crashing. Or are their tools and subroutines to crash programms on purpose?

(well I'm think MJ12 is cheating somehow nevertheless - wallhack or something) ^^ But that's another topic.

just had a QP match with DCs on both sides. funny thing is, while i was DCed i still heard the voice chat of my team.

your conspiracy theory is beyond tinfoil-hat level, though.

As a member of MJ12, I am in liberty to tell that while we do have ¹♫¬☺○♠◙, we hold a strict policy against hacking. If any of our own is caught hacking, that would lead to [redacted] and -CLASSIFIED LEVEL MAJIC 3 ONLY- of said member. Some do claim we have ^‗■¶_♦^▼”_♦ºç^{³╣ technology available to us but that just superstitious mumbo jumbo. Everybody knows [redacted) do not exist.}

It's not a crash... Its an automated balancing feature. If a team isn't stomped hard enough by an organized group the Disco-Director steps in and randomly assignes time outs. To keep it fair, you may still hear in game voip. But you will not be able to see. A smaller lighter version of Stomp-Control has been implemented for a long time. In fact it has most recently received an update. You see, you used to have an extra Timeout applied and could only see the drop select screen. Now it takes you on a tour of the maps underworld. A breathtaking tour of the infinite space behind our beloved terrains.
Only way to mitigate the risk of being sent to a timeout however, are constant sacrifices. But make sure to pray to the holy Disco-Director before you sacrifice one of your teammates.
Do this by screaming random insults over voip. Then turn left three times and shoot the first friendly in the cockpit. It may be no where else or the protection won't work.
Pro Tip, by taking 5 friendly legs, you are immune to wall hacks for 30minutes

Been there, had that happen to me. Sometimes the server decides to dump one side because of "PGI REASONS!".

In the most recent case it was our pre-made against a pug.
