Strange On-Screen [Player Name] In-Game Display Glitch in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

There have been at least three (3) games I have played in recently that have had a strange glitch where a players name has shown up on screen in the upper center-right, in huge white letters. Once it was [_]Eros, and a couple times it has been my name that displayed. On two of these occasions, a loud audible "squelch", along with "chirping" sounds could be heard. These sounds lasted only a second or two at the most. On all occasions, all of the players in-game repo

The OP points out what obviously is a little known fact of shared history between the Advent and TEC that even the most dedicated observers fail to recognize; The original dispute that led to the great exodus of the Advent was lack in sufficient size mammaries. This explains why the Advent ladies are all bent on boob jobs. Your wife knows this, and is exactly why she fears this game. It represents Boob fixations as objectification.

[quote who="Cykur" reply="91" id="3253486"]Right, everyone understands the deficiencies, the multiplayer community most of all. I'm not saying the game SHOULD die because of it. It is in fact a great game, especially for single player. Rebellion added more content, which is great, but made the game more imbalanced for multiplay. My whole point was that the game is not friendly to casual multiplayers, which is why the community is so small -- this doesn't mean y
