Yeah I wasn't actually in the game, my bot was hosting it and I saw them talking about it so I decided I would post it here. All the slots were full (it always waits for 9 people before starting). Where you see me speaking was done through the bot (they see it as themselves speaking in the game, either that or its player one I'm not sure).
Also my bot has hosted it over 100 times now and I'm usually not watching so this may have happened more than just this once.
