This kid couldn't be older than 13...he called me a "gay boy" so I didn't think he'd be capable of anything too complicated.
I've never seen a program where you're able to take over the person's chat capabilities....guess I haven't really been looking for it though...

what was your name?

when i want to BS someone's name, i try to change the capital I to lowercase L, they'll never notice the difference?

His name was "Player"
My name was "Yzzim" and I was on the red team
The messages came up like I was saying them...I've never seen anything like it before

I haven't played that for a while but I know in such games as AOE2 people do that in the chat
all they are doing is saying
Player: <space space space... etc>Yzzim:*random swearing*

It then appears with your name on a new line.

Player:
Yzzim:*random swearing*

Jittles - How does that work? Do you have to put the spaces in or type in &quot;space&quot;?
Like this:
Player: <space space space>Yzzim: This is me talking

or this:
Player: Yzzim: This is me talking

??

i have seen that too, except he really was using my name. Not player(1)etc. A guy got on and started going &quot;Yeah, im cheating, you all suck, you cant beat me.&quot; After everything he typed i replied, wait someones using my name.. I felt schizophrenic.
