Do you know that bug that sometimes causes the minimap on the grasping plateau to remain unscrambled? It can actually be triggered at will! The server sends level map and options in two separate packages to the client. The client waits for the level map at all costs, but if the scrambling request for the map doesn't make it in time (client is already building the stage), then it simply gets ignored...

This is more or less the same as Punkin hunting: look for refurbished danger rooms in the Clockwork Tunnel type levels. Once you find one, you'll be given a choice between two random arena rooms...

Well.. it's mating season again and I just noticed that all my info on it was on my old blog. So the following is a repost salvaged from my database backup. It my be out of date, so I'll make adjustments as the need arises. (more…)
