I was in a game with mary, peanut, zx81 hosted by Mule4u2
Host: mule4u2
Date: Mar 2, 04:29
The noob quit in round 3 and was doing good, ahead of everyone about 5 grand at round 7.
I asked for a bathroom break and zx81 said no, I went anyway and when I got back 2 mins later pressed my button, zx81 held his and then typed in bot:kick(me) and I was kicked from the game without a vote. The cheater went on to win the game by exploiting this bug in the code. I am needless to say never going play another game with this a$$hole again. I suggest you add him to your no play list.
at any rate please fix this bug!

This kick function is a feature from Mainstream's hosting script. I guess he'll adjust it after reading this post. I'll send him a private message as a notification as well.
We in the dev team really like what Mainstream is doing and the effort he has put into this. It's great to have a dedicated host available for all those with port forwarding troubles.

I have noticed ZX is a rather impatient fella. Most players will be patient and wait 5 minutes in the middle of the game to make coffee or use the lew. ZX blacklist people and refuses to play with them when they ask for a break.
I find it funny because people are always waiting on him to start games. He'll start one up as host, and go AFK for half an hour, get a room full ready to start a game, and you can't raise him to get the game going. He can play an honest game, but I'm learning to steer clear of him.
As far as the kick bug in the bot... Yeah, it is an exploit that may occassionally get abused, but it also on occasion does even work right. Had someone hang a game the other night, and the other three of us could not successfully get the vote to kick him to stick. Ended up forfeiting the game, so yes, the host bot needs some tweaking I fear.

Metahive,
I appologize for this happening to you, the portion of the script that handles kick request is complicated, as and as a result allowed zx to kick you without any additional votes to do so. Normally it will require 2 players to vote to kick someone.
The goal was to allow you to kick ai players prior to round 1 so you can choose the color you want, and not kick legitimate players without 2 votes.
I have working on some changes to that code, and will be updating both Mule4u, and Mule4u2 bots today, and hopefully resolve that issue.
When it does function correctly, it is better to have a voting system to kick players, then a host arbitrarily kicking people he doesn't like.

Mainstream,
I got stuck at a summary when someone disappeared (fell asleep or something)
Even with three votes, the hosting bot would not kick the offender. May have a flaw in kicking at the summary screen.

@ Mainstream, I in no way blame you for zx's cheating ways.
I love the Mule4u and thank you for your good work and for helping to resolve this issue.
I am grateful for players who give something back instead of cheating and taking.
In' La Kesh,
