We were doing mission 502 hosted by <PF>Coastie and I got 15 points deducted for three smoke violations I find points hard enough to come by points without squandering them like that. Granted smoke is banned and for very understandable reasons, but I could not comprehend how I could have accidentily smoked once let alone three times?
I had a quick look at my event log and sure enough
In the last minute I am in game, I have three smoking violations just as I have parked up and am about to leave the game????07:00:00 <PF>Rabitski is trying to occupy seat 8AF_479FG_436FS101(0)
