Killing spree mission

A very minor bug in the Killing spree mission. After killing the first bot the mission log echoes " You killed ..Blah....1 bot to go " , after the second " You killed ..Blah....2 bot to go " etc up to " You killed ..Blah....9 bots to go " at the ninth killed .

Its a trivial bug , probably one for a friday afternoon......

If I remember correctly, the Killing Spree mission was just a test of the new mission creation stuff the devs were working on, and isn't really intended for general use. So I expect it's going to disappear eventually and be replaced with something better.

It wasn't even supposed to be on the production server, it just kinda slipped in with some other changes.

Fair enough , though it is a nice wee mission to let friends have a go at to encourage them to join the community.....

Yeah, all us regular players know this was an accident months ago, and well, its been an accident for months also, fix it, or remove it.

I also agree with dave, that although this mission is borked, its a good one for new players to try.

And if any of you dev bum lickers say *yeah, but cooler stuff is planned* im a smack you in the mouth. Afterall, this *accident* has been in the game for more than 3 months.

[edit]
And yes, some of us consider this a game, and we play it.

I like it. "Bots are annoying." This mission should be given an honorary position in the mission archives.

Yea I was about to say, I noticed this bug on the test server also about 5mins ago.

First time I noticed it I spent a good five minutes completely confused on why my kill 10 bots is seemingly increasing with the need for more and more bot kills. Then you finally hit the 10th kill and you see what happens. :P
