I voted no because I've seen this before, and it will not at all have the effect you all think it will. It will just add more work for Austin. It won't make people work on the distro. Anyone who has actually RUN a shard knows that running it takes time away from developing it.

You are absolutely correct; The random generator in POL is likely very deterministic - meaning it probably does literally give the same series of values every time. You mentioned a 'seed'. A typical non-cryptographic random generator typically takes a 'seed' number, and then it produces an EXACT, pr...

I'll try to help if I can. Some questions for you... How do you know you are being attacked? What type of attack is it? There are lots of different kinds of DOS attacks.

You should do some simple packet capturing, because this looks recursive to me. This is the reason: sending_stat :=1; packet.SendPacket(member); You're sending the same packet back out, which causes the same packet hook to again be called - and they work critical. If it weren't for the maximum call ...
