Friends list bug (?)

Post by jj0823 »

I will try my best to explain the details of this bug, but I am not so sure myself. I have a friend that I always compstomp with and as of last night, there seems to be some sort of pseudo-pest going on. I tried to join his game at the exact moment he invited me, and something happened that caused him to always appear offline and the message for joining the game was "Host Rejected". However, I can see that he was online today and likely is still on, but he's still on my friends list and does not appear on my pest list. Even weirder, I can still message him but I am not sure if he gets anything on his end. Instead of the normal "Error sending whisper to "___" reason 'Friend is offline," no error message shows up - as if he's actually online. How do you even begin to diagnose this?

I just saw him in a game (I tried to join but was too late), the only thing I can think of is that he pested me. I don't think he would have done this on purpose, we're pretty good internet buddies. Even so, is there some external way to communicate?

get someone else to message him and ask him to remove you from his friendslist and than re add you. Alternately, private message me and I will provide you with an alternate account to message him on.

Thanks, I was thinking of that. I have a friend we usually compstomp with as well, I'll wait to see if he comes on soon and can be our mediator.

Sometimes people pest by accident by right-clicking one's name and undeliberately doing it. The „Host rejected" message indeed appears when you're pested, you also can't see if the pester is online. Try to ask him somehow about that.
