In this particular case, the problem is coming from a fake player named . In normal circumstances, player names cannot contain a colon but because it's a fake player, it bypasses the biller and that limitation. Further, since the PlayerEntered packet puts the name in the front (rather than the back), it requires some additional magic to properly handle the unlikely event that a colon'd name will exist.

 

I'll likely throw a fix together for such rarities in the near future, but for now the bot in question has been renamed so it should take care of any problems you're having.
