With the increasing number of friends of bug using there were two options to equal out those advantages: Explaining to each and everyone how to use them or simply fix the game to a level where those bugs would not be usable anymore.
We went with the latter. The result is the Exterminator. Beside fixing a wide variety of bugs in its first version this mutator allows server admins to force certain settings on the client, detects a variety of cheats and monitors players attempts to circumvent security measures.

The mutator will be released in the coming weeks. The release will be announced here and on roladder.net
