Complicated Situation

[Ki aka Kyle 0]

Hey guys & gals, first off thanks for reading and secondly sorry for my first post being about this.

Okay so I bought the game a few days ago and i'm really enjoying it, I went straight into a server and died like 6 times in a row without getting more then say 30ft from where i spawned? So I decided to do the private hive off of a localhost to get used to the controls and the map. Now this is where it gets interesting, So I convinced a friend to buy the game because I was having a blast and playing solo was boring (for me atleast). I got my friend on my private hive, he's bitching because Gear was on "I", in a blank moment, between looking out for zombies and him talking to me, I spaced out and said "ofcourse it's "i". I press the button to find out it's not, infact it brings up a list of players on the server at the time and there score which was cool. So it flashes on then off when i take my finger off the button, I noticed something just then, there's a 3rd player on my private hive. So I'm like wtf? I asked if my friend invited him in to which i got a firm "no". So i try talking to this dude, no reply. I Alt +Tab out of the game and start checking the server records for logins. Only me and my friend logged in, yet clear as day here's the 3rd player. So i googled his ass, his name is "George Smith" Spelt exactly like that. I've got some people saying he's a hacker and others saying he's a "Ghost in the machine" like the so called "Herobrine" from Minecraft. So questions are:

1) Is this a real person?

2) How do I block this fucktard from getting back in?

3) How the hell did he get in, in the first place?

If anyone can shed some light on this dude then i'd be eternally greatful, I was enjoying playing coop with my friend but this dude can join whenever he wants, I don't know how to block him as he's not appearing on any of the server logs and this Battleye did shit all to get rid of him.

Thanks in advance for you help people, I appreciate it.

P.S I've bought FRAPs so I can cap his ass should he rejoin again.

This should help:

I recommend reading all the material, as it could be valuable to you. You should find something about your man there.

No, but taking a more proactive approach, you need to ask yourself some questions:

-was the server a private server?

-was the server password protected?

-if yes, was the password easy to break?

-if no, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT'S HOW HE GOT IN!

-did the server run on the default port?

-do your friends like to mess with you?

To ban him from the server, you need to use your admin controls, in which I have no idea how to do, so atleast you have something to feed Google now. Instead of banning him from the server, I would just change the password (if you set one) and change the server from running on the default port.

Edit: A little background info on George Smith- he is the husband of Granny Smith, like the apples, and asked rocket to add canned granny smith apples to the game in memoir of his wife who passed away the day the mod came out. Rocket said no, George Smith is mad, and just kind of sits there in-game wondering what to do about it.

George Smith is the default model for the player profiles he appears on most servers at various times sometimes more then once the reason you dont see him in the logs is because he is never really there as it is ai not a player

That is not true! Granny Smith would be offended by this post! :P
