You must have some vivid dreams to come up with this nonsense.

Still salty after all this time that I booted you from that tourney? Maybe if you could actually play tradewars half as well as you run your mouth, people would want to play with you. Just move on already - you suck, nobody wanted to play with you, so we booted you.

Technically speaking, can you actually cheat if you DO NOT ENTER the game?

Me and Shadow bump heads at times.. but really.. this is cheating the same way as doing 1 mile over the limit is speeding.

Reason I asked him to stop was because it was causing our CLV script to spam subspace.. which I scrape and send to discord.. which would mean my phone beeps every 30 seconds every moment of the day (I did mute it).

Anyway, you two, get a freaking room, the foreplay here is really starting to make me feel uncomfortable

As a player we don't decide which bugs to use and which not to use. We don't use any because it is against the rules and we play with honor. Obviously some players, such as some of those on Shadow's corp for the tourney, did not play with honor and did not follow the rules and therefore his entire team was deleted for bug use.

Those are the facts. That is what happened.

I wasn't going to comment on this or even read it. But when people start using words like "Those are the facts" without having or knowing or trying to distort them i get annoyed.

As the Game Op of the tourney in question I will tell you what happened. Shadow's corp what NOT deleted for 'cheating'. At the time I removed them the entire corp was already SD. I was ask by the CEO's of each of the other remaining corps to remove the dead players. Why? because for some reason players that where SD where still gaining exp. 1 point per day. I do not know why or how if it is a bug or not. certainly had no effect on the game other then being an annoyance. So since the corp was dead and had no effect on the outcome of the game i removed them. and that is why.
Those are the REAL Facts.

Someone here is implying that Shadows corp was removed for an active game for cheating which is a flat out distortion of the truth. I hope this puts end to this.

I was also asked to post this by Farley since he can't post here and I really dont see the harm.

"As much as I do not like shadow and his crew, I do have to say that the details preston has presented are not entirely accurate. shadows team was unable to enter the game at bang, and Hammers corp got an early advantage. This was due to a server issue. Yes, rider (IIRC) did use a bug at that point, but their team elected to sit out based on the startup as well as Hammers team electing to decline a restart. They were not deleted for this bug use, but rather because they had decided not to play. Not uncommon to delete players that are not participating, as they can effect the game"

The intentional bit came after you wrote the script and tested it when Rider up'd the speed of the relogs from every minute or so to 10-20 per minute. Then a second bot came and started doing it also. Rider was asked personally to stop and he said "no, it's a feature and no one listened to me when my stuff broke at the start of the game" (paraphrased).

Of course you claim not to know who the SBOT in question was, despite being your TWars best buddy.

Whether this had any impact on the game is in doubt, however, you guys were politely asked to stop and instead it went 20 times worse. There were issues, perhaps coincidental at the time. So given you'd all quit the game I think you can agree deleting you all is fine to be safe for us who are still playing it.

Thanks SK For taking care of this swiftly.

Let's clarify the facts shall we.

LOL I knew posting a comment would get this reply.

Simple question. Who do you think people are going to believe? You? or the person who was hosting the tourney.

Okay im done back to the sidelines....LOL

Its very sad. This thread does not remotely live up to the standards set by the Great Big TW Flamers of the past. Is scripting to blame, or just general malaise?

The posters would benefit from some of the Guides freely available.
https://www.fantasyfootballdraft.com/fa ... k_talk.asp - has some great pointers. Lessons include:
- use of derogatory nicknames
- inflammatory trash talk
- tasteless signature lines
plus near endless other valuable suggestions to keep the pot boiling.

For TW specific examples, look no farther than the Wayback Machine twgs.org records. It didn't save much, but there are some good bits.
