Is Pure_Luck abusing his powers?

[kthx]

Please don't question my motives or test my ability to argue, because as you can see I have about 5700 more arguments under my belt than you do little kid.

[kthx]

I think we all see what happens when newbies get control over things, they turn the country into a communist regime. So therefore my experience is in fact more important than your opinions because I have over 10 years of experience doing things the correct way, which has helped the game prosper. While all you offer is empty words and phrases for all the poor, lazy, welfare recipient newbies out there who think they are entitled to their own opinions because they think it is the right way to do things even though in reality they only say and vote that way because they think it will make their experience better, not everyone elses.

Who the fuck are all these newbies popping up to comment on shit?

Are you implying that some people have less right to post their opinions than others? Just because in your opinion (which, of course, you will see as fact), they have less desirable qualities to "deserve" the status to post here? That would seem to run contrary to the libertarian (albeit slightly modified) quote in your signature. Hypocrite much?

I am an actual libertarian, and so I take real offense at fake e-libertarians. Liberty is for everyone, not just a favoured few. If you limit access to liberty, then you don't have liberty. Note, I'm referring to kthx's two faced attitude, not actual forum policy, in case anyone gets confused, or wants to construct a strawman. :P

If you are here for 1 month, or 10 years. If you play pub or league. If your post count is 10 or 10K. You have the right to post here. Unless the mods take that right away.

I've read kthx post all the wonderful things he has done for the game in another post. I've been here ten years, and all those things have effected me exactly zero. Now if you had said that it was you that made the roboboy timed game bot, then I would be impressed. Your accomplishments matter to some people I'm sure. Mainly people they affect. Of course you will say: "I don't care." That's fine too. Just when you throw your credentials around, keep in mind that for the many people who don't ever touch those things, it matters not a bit.

[kthx]

risk..who?

[riske]

Go design some more events for no one to play.

If anything, someone who was punished for cheating has MORE of a right to call other people out for cheating and not being punished.

That's exactly the position vys is in, riske. Vys was punished for cheating. And to top it off, vys insists he was set up, and thus punished (for 2 years!) unfairly ... by the same person who is being accused in this thread.

nonone cares...

this is getting old

Why do people keep saying this? If no one cared, they wouldn't post.

A lot of this drama seems tied to sour feelings that come out of competitive league play. "Oh he pwned me. Looks suspicious. No one can do that, I'm too good. He MUST be cheating." Makes me really happy I spent my entire 10 years here exclusively in pub.

i'll like ara when he gives me the squadname 'vs'

if my cable didnt go out for 3 days i would've quoted this sooner. we wud also like to haf squadname 'allow' but get neither.

I want to thank Pure_Luck, too. I did not know he was help paying to keep this TW zone running. If he didn't do that, then we wouldn't be able to play this zone anymore and it truely would die. So thank you Pure_luck, that's extremely generous

Now this whole res issue, why can't we just do a trial or some sort? If TWBD allows that max res, why can't we have that in all TWD arenas? Let's just do trial with that, we don't have to allow that in leagues. Let's just all play at that level and take a poll to see what people think. That way we're being consistent.

Also, nowadays I feel everyone has bigger monitors. Before I think with the old CRT monitors, the bigger they were, they were substantially more expensive. Not really with these LCD monitors now price-wise.

That's my two cents on this topic.

I'm not saying I'm not thankful for pure_luck paying to keep the zone going, but there are other zones that are hosted that he isnt playing for, correct?


Vys, it is offtopic because the fact that you got banned 'for cheating' is completely irrelevant to someone else cheating, and you calling them out on it. If anything, someone who was punished for cheating has MORE of a right to call other people out for cheating and not being punished.


However I care more about him lying about it than anything else.
Honestly once your resolution is a certain size, someone else could have 10x bigger viewing area, and it wouldnt do much, their bullets would be on your screen forever for you to dodge.. The whole benefit of bigger resolution dies at a certain point, and people will pretty much have to play within a certain distance of one another. This is of course if the person with the lower resolution does have a high resolution, just not as high as the other person.. It's a relationship between the speed of bullets and the speed of the ship, and the person playings peripheral vision/reaction time..

You can make fun of my execution as much as you want(and its deserving!), but my strategy is sound

I'm not saying its ok to cheat resolution size, but it's not a huge a benefit as people make it out to be.

How is it off topic? People are quick to mention about my past and these so called facts they know about me. So I thought I'd actually explain the facts on forum because I've never done it before. I'm trying to say how can a sys op get away with stuff he's done and no one seem to care.

[lilwade]

This topic is dead. They have gone way off topic and should just end it.

[Vys]

Vys used it in more then just a private arena. That is just where he was finally caught in the act. Before the client was updated certain memory editing exploits were harder to detect then the more obvious ones I.E. Infinite bursts, thors, etc. Yes, he may have been tricked into doing it.. But this isn't the US gov't, there are no rules for entrapment. If you did the deed you get punished for it.

Lol another person who thinks he knows shit when he clearly doesn't. I never used CE to better myself, one of the delectable crew sent me the program and I figured out all the cheats it could do and then I went to the bot developer at the time (lnx) and told him about CE and showed him everything that it does in order for him to make a bot for it. I also was ratting out people who was using it and people who were evading too.
I was an unknown warbird at the time who spent 10 hours a day on the game at the time, and I had this whole new game play in warbird that no one could figure out. I was owning so called vets at the time and it just didn't fit into place.
Pure_luck knew I was helping lnx at the time and this is the time where fireballs gave me a shot on squad ice.
So I left a bitter quicksand and joined squad ice and we was dueling them in twdd.
I was 8-0 in a matter of a minute (I spawned geetar 3 times). He was pming me calling me a cheater, the typical quicksand whine we all love. And then all of a sudden pure_luck and 6 other smod/mods enter the arena.
I fly to top right and I'm squad messaging quicksand how funny they are for reporting me because I was owning them.
Then all of a sudden I was banned for a year. Pure_luck said I was using infinate energy.
After a week of me and fireballz gathering up evidence to prove pure_luck wrong.
Pure_luck lifted the ban and instead of saying he was wrong he made out he was doing me a favour. By that time my rep had already been demolished and ice had died and syndicate had formed and demonfaze wouldn't let me join because of my ban.

Now to the recent ban in 05 to 07.
This is when our rivalry started between me and pure_luck. I had exposed him and he didn't like it that's why he conjured up plans to set me up (I didn't find this out untill an ex smod told me this). He used to gather high staff in his private arena and try and find out a way to set me up.
Which explains why a few higher staff was asking me to show them how to use CE in a private arena.
After like 8 months of not being able to join a decent squad because of the reputation pure_luck had given me.
Reaver (head twdop) asked me to join revenge and he asked me to show him CE, I thought nothing of it and downloaded the program and he prized me a Thor through a bot. I then made it infinate and shot it off. The bot disapeared and then pure_luck entered and then banned me for a year.
I tried appealing it but rudy said he couldn't do anything about it and to talk to pure_luck. But then pure_luck told me he was not bang op and to talk to rudy.
After about a month of getting sent from one to the other, they then eventually ignored me.
So I evaded the ban like 16 times just to try and talk to them, but none of them listened and just kept rebanning me and then upped it to life.
So I banned from the zone I loved whch I dedicated hours on end there. There was nothing I could do. I even glexplained my story to 2dragons and he gave me a banfree and sent me to #2dr whilst he spoke to pure_luck privately because pure_luck refused to talk about my ban infront of me.
There was nothing 2dragons could do because he was an inactive sysop and pure lucks word was greater than mine.
Anyway after 2 years of serving the ban. I went on teamspeak to see if any of my freinds still played. That's when I came accross weaver.
We had a long chat and I explained what had happened and he thought I had been done over. This is when the 0.40 had been released and cheating could be detectable, so weaver unbanned me and pure_luck wasn't happy with this, so he issued me a twl ban from season 11.
Anyway that's the facts and that's why I have this bitter feud with pure_luck.

At the risk of going off topic, in the US gov't, rules of entrapment are also being ignored:

In that same place, the US gov't can (accidental negligence) kill little 7 year old girls in their sleep:

When you can't tell the good guys from the bad guys, it's a bad road down which to go. CE is bad. Entrapment is bad, too. Do an honest hard-working job at enforcing rules, or just don't bother. If your enforcement is lazy or sneaky or brutal, then you end up doing more harm than good, in the long run. And it tends to come back at you too, just like acid reflux, karma, this thread, or vys.
