So I have a score of 29 (as pictured below)

And then this happens:

gazza ate peewee_RotA's rocket
gazza almost dodged peewee_RotA's rocket
peewee_RotA blew himself up.
peewee_RotA: kamakazi!!!
Muleskinner was shredded by Fishbone's shrapnel
peewee_RotA ate Muleskinner's rocket
Taking PNG screenshot...
REMA was machinegunned by Muleskinner
Finished, wrote ./baseq2/scrnshot/quake009.png
peewee_RotA ate gazza's rocket

Here's what happened:

I had 29 frags. I find a poor unsuspecting gazza just spawning in and fire two rockets at the wall. The first rocket takes his health down. The second hits the wall. The radius damage finds gazza and finishes him off, runs t_damage and then the client obituaray printing that he's been killed and awarding me my 30th frag. The radius damage then finds me, runs t_damage to finish myself off, then the client obituary and also taking away my 30th frag. After all this then the rest of the client thinks and server thinks run and the game is completely unaware that I ever hit 30 frags. In fact it would have never even printed on a screen if anyone was opening their help/score menu at that exact time.

I figured if I just blew myself up it'd be an easy kill and the first kill should just register the game to end. Apparently it doesn't, which makes a lot of sense, but I never thought about it or even tried it before.

Very interesting.
