[Reminiscing] Flash Kickvote!

CF being down for and update reminds me of the flash-kickvote episode.

Anyone remember, about a year ago, when the devs borked an update, with the end result that getting flashed caused a hard DC?

If you remember that, chances are you used it as a kickvote at least once. This was back in the early X-Trap days, when there were more hacks than legit players in a room. Needless to say, kickvotes never worked. Well, with the derped flashes, anyone who could buy a flash got one free kick for every life.

You'd run up to a hacker, throw the flash, then run as fast as you could. He'd get flashed and DC, and, hopefully, not you. I used it myself quite a lot, in MM in particular.

Oh, what a sweet couple of days those were.... except when you accidentally flashed yourself, or some clown flashed the whole team at spawn...
