So Big D what you are saying is I should be required to buy space on a server farm, build a game server, edit games like I want to see them played, then be banned from playing them just because I own the server?

I am sorry but no one is going to agree with that. It's an idiotic stance on every level. If you don't trust the community you are a part of and take the position that everyone will cheat when given the chance, then you shouldn't even be coming here. I mean, what's the point? Go play Candy Crush....

Will people cheat? Ya, maybe sometimes, will everyone cheat every time, not likely. If you haven't learned anything about TW, you should have at least learned these two rules.

1.) It's TW and the entire game and community is built around the premise that in order to win, you must outwit and out maneuver all comers....

2.) Reputation is everything. If someone has a bad reputation or is known to cheat, then eventually no one will play them. Hence the term 'Community'.

I once again trouble you to look at all sites everywhere all the way back into the early 80's and find ONE SINGLE post or comment that I am a cheat.... If you can, then I leave. If you can't, then you MUST come play me a game and see for yourself....

Sorry Master, but I have to agree with Big D on this one. Most the GameOps that run "Public" servers do not play on their own server, except in non-competitive games that are clearly marked. Players aren't going to trust someone that has tedit access. Even if you don't cheat, your zero ping gives you an advantage.

Like I said before. I don't have zero ping. My ping is the same as anyone elses

Not if you run TWX on the virtual machine.

I think his server is hosted, so he's telnetting in to play like everyone else.

My server is physically in the same room with me, but the PC I play on is NOT the same machine.

My latency is set at 150ms and that's what I connect at in my game.

I agree as well. Just because you declare that you're honest, does not mean that you in fact are; and does not mean that you're immune to temptation. That's the fact people seem to be dancing around. If your integrity is that important to you, don't play on your own server.

correct, but he does have RDC access to the hosted vm, not saying he would, but he could.
even with latency, i think a local player would have an advantage

If you bother yourself to look back through this thread you'll notice that I never once said you were a cheat. What I said was if you play on your own server, with Tedit access, then you can expect players on your server to be suspicious of you using it.
As far as your comment about you playing a game against me, considering that it won't be played on your server, I'm pretty sure that with your limited capabilities, (scripting), that you wouldn't stand much of a chance against me.
