Game Details Low Tech 2 vs 2 (exept the other team quit quite early when he got kicked)

A hacker will be tagged if his client's variables do not agree with others' simulated clients of others. The tagged hacker will then be desynchronized (if seen as glitching or spending more than gathering) and kicked from the game if deemed hacking.
