    So I was looking for a game and saw a lobby with Scathis in it so I thought "sure, why not?" only the lobby was password-locked. Being the genius that I am I made the strategic estimate that the password was 1234. I click "join", nothing happens, then the game freaks out, realizes I'm teh l33t h4x0r and crashes.

    Upon opening the game again I get that prompt asking whether I want to rejoin the lobby I was disconnected from. That also makes it crash.

    The game crash is a byproduct of PA sending your information to the NSA so you can be added to the list of the l33t h4x0rs.

    Expect a visit from Homeland Security sometime next week.

    Just a heads-up - that was most likely the Scathis AI.

    I've been seeing a lot of AI names on the browser lately. Maybe everybody left and an AI took over the host slot?

    That sounds far more sinister than I think you intended it to be :p

    When I first saw these I thought maybe Sorian was running neural net training on the public servers.

    AI names shouldn't be showing up in the server browser... I'll add that to the list. I assure you that the client does not *intentionally* crash when you enter a bad password. Let me know if it happens every time you enter a password incorrectly.
