There is a problem with someone being killed more than once. I just compied the text, so yes, i could have faked it but why would I? From The Game "Enigmatcsoul is now not in good shape. Enigmatcsoul has been killed by Pseudo with their below average copper sword! Enigmatcsoul has been killed by Deadbush with their superb copper sword! Elezeta has been killed by the elephant!"
whats up with that?

Latency. Hard to fix, but doable.
Just not something I will fix in this game. Wait for PK 2.

Syn, what makes you believe that this is a latency issue rather than a race condition?

That's true, Xeis, it could be.
Either way, it's a pain to fix, though, and shouldn't be an issue in pk15 (coming soon to a beta test near you!) because Im locking all the tables.

it shouldn't be that hard....just add a 2-3 second delay before sending the death to the DB, then query it for a death in the last 30 seconds. It would be sorta patchy, but man, is it annoying to have 3/4 of your gold snatched.
Is it in php/mysql? I could write up an integrable sample if you don't have the time.

fotbon, that wouldn't solve a race condition. It would still have the same problem, just delayed 2-3 seconds. If Syn locks the DB when damage is handled, it'll be fine.
