End-of-game reasons shifted, resulting in easy ascensions #38

Closed AmyBSOD closed 5 years ago

AmyBSOD commented 5 years ago

Due to some error with the end-of-game reasons, e.g. done(ESCAPED), it is possible to easily get a game to count as an ascension even if it really wasn't, which resulted in Splicehack being temporarily banned from the public server until you get this fixed: these are the observations I made.

Please get on the #hardfought IRC ASAP, the server administrators would probably want to talk to you so we can figure out how to fix this bug, and then they'll probably re-enable Splicehack! :)

I wouldn't use the word 'banned' - it's disabled until a fix is in place. A couple players discovered you could ascend in one turn and started spamming the livelog/xlogfile with ascensions. They showed up on the nethack scoreboard as well, skewing the results.

Fixed with commit c166f85e66494f7da3e1c2bfb70c1e08552b5e4f. Sorry about the mess.
