The Secret Power of Flares

[Biohazard]

This should probably be fixed as it could become a problem if exploited:

This happened to Chalrif and I while guarding an objective. We were supposedly "guarding" the obective while haveing a good time throwing wine bottles and stuff at each other, when I lit a flare and threw it at him.
The flare landed on the table, hitting a piece of loot. When the flare hit it, it got knocked through the table making it impossible to frob.

I didn't try this with the objective, because we were in a "real" game and I didn't want to be accused of cheating. But, it may be possible to knock the objective off the map with a flare.

It should be noted this was the scepter on Baffords. This may be a Bafford only bug, as I haven't ever seen that happen before.

Yup it's a bug. I found it in 1.1 but never tried it in 1.2 . I guess i forget these things very soon :/

Anyways, i tried it on the lyre in nostalgia and yeah. I moved it all the way up to the corner. After that ... i forgot it untill you said it right here
Thanks for telling us , they might fix this now

Another thing (I don't want fixed) about flares is something Frantic taught me.

You can light a flare throw it, then hit it with a tag for even more lighted goodness.
The flare and the tag go away just like they would normally anyway.

Challenge of the Day: Throw a flare into the air and have somebody else try to hit it with a tag while midair.

I remember the day he found out that trick. It was an mistake

Virus and frantic tried to kill me ( i was a thief ) so frantic trew a flare in the air, and virus tried to tag me. Instead of tagging me, virus tagged the flare!

I died from laughing

I've knocked loot off of tables by throwing other objects at them before. But is it a bug? If I hit a golden cup with a meat cleaver shouldn’t the golden cup move?

On DE I hit a candlestick a couple of times until it was off the table. The funny thing was it stayed in the air.

Whenever I have done this (which was only one game with 5 different loot objects) the loot was still frobable. Although if a thief was running through they might not see the loot on the floor since it should be on the table or stand.

Not a bug, exploit or cheat in my eyes unless admins or who ever the "man" is says not to do so.

This is fixed in the current build of 1.3 AFAIK.
