That 180% bit was just one of my weak attempts at showing enthusiasm.
:)  Basically, if somebody is willing to spend untold hours of time over
a year just so he can shoot up his high school, why wouldn't somebody of
lesser determination decide to take out his woes on a server and its
players?

But...I realized a few hours ago that it would probably be easier to DOS
the server (or possibly clients connected to it...shudder...is there any
gaurd against one client obtaining another client's IP?) for a while, so
Aaron's statement still stands.
