First, the well known ghosts. I was not lagging nor there was anyone in s9 except BountyBot.

Fake cash?
That doesn't seem like a teamchat...

That last "fake cash" was probably produced by Stick, as he is Cash Prize Giveaway and spoke the moment before in teamchat.

It's done by putting something, like in this case "hi", a bunch of spaces and then
"(someone) sent you 500000 credits." in teamchat. You didn't know 'bout that, Blitzeh? Tsk tsk.

He forgot to say "credits" at the end of it. Dead giveaway. ;)

This is easily verified by those of us who keep our error log open when playing. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

Very nice word play FM.

I have had the ghost thing happen to me before, it was a bus. It could be seen, my shots would hit it, I could issue on it, I couldn't push it, i could fire rockets at it and get killed by the splash.

Others could pass through it but not see it, very odd.
