I remember the exact post. Don't know if it's still there.
It was before I was a moderator; in fact, I was quite new at the game.
I entered the library, and no one was there. But...
AN INSANE AMOUNT OF VLADS!
By insane, I mean, they kept spawning, pretty much non stop, filling the map to the maximum.
It was, pretty chaotic. At my level, I did not stand a chance.
As I recall, it was Cleo who tried to explain it; it was, a "charging" of the spawn; this can be done in various ways; usually, the spawner will set up a large auto spawn repeatedly; it can also, be maintained by someone "ghosting" the spawn point (as Secular called it; this was, logging off on the spawn trigger).
Anyway, not sure if this is what happened to you Ryaca, but it is possible, when triggering auto spawns, for them to become somewhat "chaotic", and not necessarily pre-defined (I think, this is what you mean; I don't know exactly). Also, as Cashew noted, if others are spawning on the same map, it can cause "irregularities" in the spawn flow.
