It happens when you first log in, few weeks ago I was apparently talking and someone from the Bishops thought I jumped to Bish when in fact he logged in I was still a Knight.

Has never happened to me. But then again, I never logon, check the text buffer, then compare it to the roster to see who is on what side. Silly me I guess.

I just logged in to LW, as a Rook:



As you can see by the host message, the intitalisation was not fully complete when the chat system was activated, so that I was able to read two messages from Bish country channel before the program noticed that I am not in country 1.
I recall that a few years ago, I even 'intercepted' a much more detailed call for a mission with target info that way.  :devil

So how long until we have guys logging in and out just to catch a glimpse of enemy chatter?

Might be something worth HTC investigating a fix for.

Horribly ineffective. You can gain 100 times more valuable information by juts keeping attention to the map.  :old:

I'm sure you're right. I'm just saying that in this day and age it seems like some folks will go to extreme measures to gain an advantage (no matter how slight).

its easier for one member of a squad to switch sides, just like vLance today on rooks while the rest of his squad was bish.

Remember back in AH1 when you first logged in sometimes it would
put you at an enemy base in enemy's tower till everything fully loaded.

In warbirds 2.77, you could see enemy dar for a split second when you entered the arena.

They added server messages stating your logging in and leaving the arena and, for the first few weeks, you would see guys logging in and leaving over and over to find enemy cv........and they were given grief.
