You can phase through walls if you walk through them at just the right angle wearing certain colors of T-shirt. Why is the clothing tear resistance code tied into collision detection? Why does it care about color? Nobody knows; it's filled with bizarre legacy code. Occasionally someone finds a really exploitable issue, runs off to certain regions of the world to “test things”, and disappears. Perhaps they manage to escape into reality somehow. Perhaps they're somehow “hired” by the admins to patch further issues. Perhaps they're just deleted to preserve stability.
