Platinum Rift wrong victory when strategy produces invalid input

http://www.codingame.com/replay/16939767
cup_of_tea produces wrong input (my strategy does not have lowercase ‘wait’ anywhere), but it seems that victory is calculated basing on maximum captured zones and cup_of_tea wins. I expect that for 2-player battle an opponent should win (me in this battle). For 3/4-player battle maybe better to end as draw. At least we should put invalid stategy to last place.

The issue is valid. Imho an invalid output should immediately eliminate the player but the simplest solution would be to keep the simulation running for the others (even if 1 vs 1). This could allow the crashing player to still win if the remaining players couldn’t recapture the zones in time.

It’s a known bug that should be fixed in next days.
Codingamers like cup_of_tea should be ashamed to exploit this kind of bug.
