Sandbox isn't "mad"erated, it's circle jerked. There is a distinct difference in the two.
I was in a sandbox game that reached maximum number of people. Myseriously after, the number went to a negative number for players left to fill the game. It hit -3 and there were actually more people joining but the game actually already started. Someone said to just refresh. After this happened, someone kept vesting the right person and knew to shoot me with an associate gun after I claimed detective with a guilty. Also many people didn't trust me when I did.
"It's sandbox" so I have no problem with the bug abusing, but, people should at least report the bug and I believe people are forcing themselves into spectate somehow with either a bug or a script.
