umh, all i can say is that the whole team is very sorry about the scrimmage, and aureolei is 86'd from the team and i personally suggest he be banned indefinately. if he didn't live in south carolina i would cripple him myself. if one of my buddies is out that way soon, you'll all get some screenshots of that!!! i also would like to apologize to hog and co. i hope you'll have mercy on the team. none of us were aware that he/she was cheating.

Aureolei cheats? Wow, and he sucks, he isn't even good when he cheats haha, lewwwwwwwwwzeur.....
Brik, how didja find out he was cheatting and what was he cheatting with?-obviously not an aimbot, cuz he couldn't shoot a dead cow with out over 20 shots. You don't have to say if ya don't want to, I respect you and yer team, except that punk and if you don't feel like talking about it, its cool...
I voted for banned and kicked in the nuts! :)

Well Brik, i am very dis-heartened to see that. I am the one who has fued'ed with him the most. After he came in and slammed me. But he was given a second chance even after threatening to dos the server. Then he does this. No disrespect at all, but how does everyone else know other's wernt using the same ****. Well I dont think you guys are I have respect for fellow clans especially those who compete as well and I personally like that fact that you guys came to us about it first and handed him over. But what a fuking moron Really Post a screenshot with a rAdar in it and mouth off the whole match about how good his team is while he spec's and uses a radar. This kinda ****t takes the fun right out of this Yes this is a ladder But it isnt supposed to be as serious as PG or OGL we all wanna have fun and I know UMH is buggin as well you guys too so Gayleori is gone it will be tough cuz of multiple ip's and other stuff Hog will do his best but I SUGGEST YOU ALL SHAME HIM. This is classic! Your team Brik is still in good standing but not again will this happen i hope.. I know it's not your fault i feel bad for both teams so make sure You all study the rules Go out in the ladder and HAVE FUN.. CHeaters will be castorated..... :evil:

i missed the original post, only saw the post after it had been put back up (the pics with the ezradar in the corner). did someone spec him when he was actually playing in-game earlier, with the bot active? seems kinda stupid to have radar on while spectating :?

below is a pm sent to me by Obi Wan KENEWBIE.
Aureolei posted screen shots in the UM public forum of our scrim vs UMH. Well I looked at the screen shot and saw something fishy. In the top left hand of the screen is some red text:
The text says EZR v3.8
This is "EZ Radar v3.8". This is a UT cheat and is punishable by ban on OGL and PG ladders and UM as well. I have zero tolerance for cheaters and I wll not play with a team who has known cheaters on their team.
I'm not asking you to boot out Aureolei from 210 because he may be a friend of yours. If something is not done about this publicly in front of all the 210 members I will not play with 210 as it goes against all my beliefs.
I am asking you and the others who formed 210 to decide how to handle this. I have informed HogMan of this as well and am not sure what he is going to do about it.
Sorry to break this news to ya but at least I caught it and not another team and at least it was a scrim where he only spectated in and not a match he played.

He only spectated both games. So dunno about any aimbot acusations or even if this cheat has it. I can assume that he keeps up on the "UT Cheat" community to some degree as he has EZR 3.8. I was not sure what it was at first but being active in the UT competitive community and a server admin as well, I have heard of EZ Radar cheat for UT. I have never seen it before but the first thing that poped into my head was EZ RADAR. I talked to a few server admin friends to see if they knew if this WAS in fact EZ Radar. One of my friends said YES there is a EZ Radar 3.8 out and he saw someone post it in an IRC channel he admins (he banned that person right away for posting cheats)
I went to that website (he gave it to me since he had it in his IRC log file) and sure enough there was EZ Radar v3.8 (The latest and greatest version of EZ Radar). Dunno how long this version has been out but it is safe to assume that this cheater kept up to date.
It is a strange form of irony that he was caught for being stupid. Reminds me of the TV series I saw on FOX once about criminals caught because of their stupidity. Things like robing a store and putting down your gun on the counter to adjust your mask and the clerk picks it up and points it at you and you are arrested.
Again, he didn't play in the scrim and during the scrim when UMH had a player drop out I didn't play until he returned (I did that as soon as I noticed they were short one).
I have a motto that I will share with you all. Its more important to me to be respected because you are respectable than it is to win. Winning without respect is not a win. I'd rather be on the team who after every game win or lose goes back into irc/forums/etc and gets support from the community. Than the ones who's only goal it is to win and go home to an empty, cold, lonely home.

Thanks, but I wouldn't call 210 [Z] guys. There are 2 members of Zenkai on the team (me and WickedYaw) and another member was an origional Zenkai member from way back in June 2000 (SmileyFOX). I thought Smiley was done with the game. Never seen him around in over a year. Then Wicked saw him and Smiley told him about UM so Wicked started to play there. Then Wicked got me to play there too. Then Smiley asked us both if we'd like to play with 210 and we said sure. :)
The rest of the players I just met when joining the team.

:idea: I think this calls for an ammendment to the ladder rules.
A section concerning cheating, BOTH individually AND as a team. I think there should definitely be some sort of probation for a team that has been caught with a player cheating.
:arrow: Basically on the first offense the individual is banned, and on a second offense, the team is disqualified from the ladders...
:?: Thoughts Ja?

08-09-2002, 12:59 PM

demo: 210's offense consisted entirely of Obi-wan and WickedYaw, Smiley backed them up as well. 3 out 5 in game. thats at least half the team

08-09-2002, 01:17 PM
I would agree to that too but only if its during matches. If a player is caught in a scrim (like this was) I don't think it should effect the team in a way to be banned from a ladder. Just my opinion.

This is no second chance Joe... We disussed this in length (admins) for almost 2 hours last night and Both teams were negatively affected. The 210 team was very classy in the matter in which things were dealt with so Kudos to you as For the UMH the match was a scrim (thank god) and they were gratious as well..
I honestly believe the 210 team is truthfull and We were assured that it wont happen again and I believe that.. Anyone cheats in a match tho ANyone No exeptions what so ever and The Z boyz will tell you as well On OGL for example these instances are dealt with harshly and unfortunatley the Whole team suffers as a result...

08-09-2002, 01:19 PM
true, but (and no im not going after 210 on this) if a player uses a bot on a scrim, whats to keep him from using it in a match?
It's just the luck of the draw taht Arueoli was on 210, and taht he decided to cheat. That shouldn't reflect on the team, but it has to since the team is responsible for their members and their behavior. Methinks that Joe was right-- first offense is a personal ban, second and the team's in trouble. seems fair to me. :? :)
im not as concerned about the cheating as much as i am about pros coming to this "regs" tourny. its like bringing NFL MVPS to high school practice LOL

ya know matt hoffman grew up with some of my friends from oklahoma, and the coolest thing was meeting him a few months back at my buddies wedding.

THERE AREN'T EVEN FOUR PLAYERS IN THE TOP TWENTY ON MY TEAM (NO OFFENSE MEANT TOWARDS UMH). THIS TEAM CONSISTS OF REGULARS, SMILEY WAS PLAYING HERE WELL BEFORE I ASKED HIM TO BE ON MY TEAM, AND I HAD NO CLUE WHAT AN ANIMAL HE IS. I SAW WICKED PLAYING HERE BEFORE HE WAS EVER ASKED TO PLAY FOR 210 ALSO. IT'S NOT LIKE WE
WENT OVER TO OGL RECRUITING OR ANYTHING. I'M SURE JA AND HO CAN GET SOME PRETTY VICIOUS TEAMWORK GOING AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO PLAYING TOGETHER. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, AND DON'T LASH OUT BECAUSE IT'S WEAK. I GUESS THIS WILL PROBABLY PUT ME BACK ON THE PUBLIC ENEMY LIST, BUT O'WELL !!

Ok for the record.
If the admin's thought the other members of 210 were in any way involved with the cheat, they would all be out.
This isnt about the ladder, it's about the fact that all UM servers have %0 tolerance for cheats of any kind, and that includes known cheaters as well.
Never mind getting kicked off the ladder, any known cheater will be instantly banned from UM. There is absolutely no excuse for it, and no exceptions will be made once it is %100 certain that someone has cheated.
As far as the ladder goes, cheats, spam, mouthy bad aditude BS will be dealt with case by case, with full screenshots and demo's as proof. False accusations are almost as bad, so make sure you KNOW someone is breaking the rules before you report them.
The rules have been posted, read them, know them. Ignorance will not excuse any of that behaviour.
As for 210, I dont believe that anyone else on that team had any knowledge of puke boy cheating, and in this case will not have any "punishments" given to them. During ladder play, if a member of a team cheats etc, then the whole team will automatically forfiet that match, and further action will be decided then. --JaC

JoeMama has a point, I mean if one of that clans members was cheatting, and this is during a practice and the person wasn't even fighting, how can we know if the others are cheatting, maybe Aureolei was on some kinda voice chat with all his members and had the radar on cuz hes too stupid to know how to find where the other team is during the game that he is being a spec. and he can tell his team where the other team is over voice chat because he can fly around the map and change views on EVERYONE. hehehe, then again anyone can do that, from any team, thats why I really don't think having spectators during a ladder match will be a good thing :(
Then again, Brik plays honestly and theres never ever been problems with him around this server. He is a cool guy and I played against em earlier tonight on a couple maps and the thought never crossed my mind that he would or could be using any kind of hack. He is like one of those little church boys...not the ones who get molested just the really innocent ones hehe.....I don't know there have been a lot of sound good ideas. I don't really want to get on anyone elses bad side with this post so ya know.....
Also, I know this doesn't seem to go with this thread or anything, but I wished the ladder was different, like there could be how ever many teams made up at with names, everyone sign up who wants to join in, some admin randomly puts them together in no order to make it all fair, those teams are stuck together and they gotta play like that and work together as the team they were thrown in hehehe.... I think that would be more fair than having a couple clans thrown together in like a month or two, then having a clan who has been together for years or something. It is like having a untrained bum fighting Ken Shamrock in the Octagon. I mean sure, it'd be fun to watch the first time, the second time it would be fun too, so would third, fourth, fifth, sixth..........hell it'd be funny everytime, but think of the bum....or something....The bum could always train and lose his drinking habit though, but that has nothing to do with it.... :? dumb bum.....
BTW: I'm glad admins decided to take those screen shots down, because some new comers who might come here could look that radar up and use it to help them out if they are getting stomped or something.

Lets not forget that Aureolei didn't even play the match, he only spectated for the joy of watching us lose so he could run his mouth. He isn't to bad of a player but doens't come close to comparing to the [z] boys, I guess thats why he never played. The point is I beleive there was NO cheat actually playing, only spectating. That cheat was only used by him in his pesonal play on UM1 I'm sure. And a spectator making comments about a game such as he did is comical and insulting only to himself. Word

2 things: 1) Didnt i just say make SURE you KNOW before "talking" about cheats?
It is most definately the teams responsiblity to know their players are not cheats (i sure as hell would hate to know i had a cheat on my team, and i feel for the pain im sure some of the 210 feel right now).
However:2) yes teams with cheats will also get some type of punishment. Are we going to make it a "1 chance then yer out" rule? NO. As has been stated before, the admin's will adress things case by case if/ever the need arises.

He was supposed to take my spot on Glacier but said he didn't know the map and would rather not play it. Then another guy went in for him (Brik I think) and another one left (don't remember who) so they asked me to play and I did. I was looking forward to a 3rd map where I'd sit out and watch 210 play to give them pointers later in the forum.
We'll play again and I hope to spectate a few games along with Wicked so we can watch 210's teamwork.

(Ya, only 2.5 of you, I know, and dogma and Human did fine work defending on Orb.. props to them as well) But, after Obi demonstrated what a cool guy he is, in addition to kicking all our asses, I've had something of a change of heart. I still don't really consider them 'regs' here, but thats' a fairly subjective term anyway. Here's my point: We're all gonna get smoked by them, so lets learn all we can in the process. This is an opportunity for free instruction, first hand, by some of the best in the game. Painful lessons, yes, but sometimes those teach us the most. So, I'm up for putting my pride aside, letting the Aurlolie incident slip quietly into the past, and getting ready for a show.

Why would you want it to be okay for someone to cheat at all?!? To me there isn't enough difference between a scrim or a match or playing on a public server to condone cheating. My vote, cheaters get banned and their team penalized without distinguishing between when and where they cheat. :evil:

You know, I've been wondering if my UMH clanmate Vin is cheating... oh wait, NM, I kill his ars all the time... LoL

This is a contradicting statement. I thought cheating would not be tollerated at all on UM!!!??? (Let me know if I took this wrong Ja, i'm not trying to get into a pissing match here :D only trying to make sure everyone understands were UM stands on this subject)
This whole ladder match is going to turn into who is better with thier cheat match. My concern is that I played with this idoit and it never crossed my mind that he was using a cheat. It goes to show you how good these cheats are and can go undetected. It also makes you wonder who else is cheating and those that are sympathetic to these guys are suspicious in my eyes. He was only caught cause the idiot posted a screen shot. I feel 210 should be no longer allowed to play on this server with that tag as an example for other clans and groups. I dont "think" Brick cheats because of his game and I would hate to see him go. He is part of the UM family that was here from the begining. I do feel this incident has to be delt with, if not, the whole server turns crap because everyone will know they can pull this crap and will only get a warning.
(This is just my view which means a lot to me but might not to others :lol: )

As for banning 210, that's crazy. It appears the policy on cheating is as follows: the cheater gets BANNED, no questions. That happened. Good. The TEAM is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In this case, several factors should be considered:
1) The ladder has not started yet. This had little to do with the ladder, it was a PRACTICE match between some UT players.
2) There is no evidence that anyone else on 210 cheated. To the contrary, it was a 210 player (Obi-wan) who pointed out the cheat to the rest of us. I for one, took a look at the screenshots, and besides a sinking feeling in my gut, took no notice at all of the ezr notation. I would have missed it entirely.
3) The cheating bastard never even played with 210. He MIGHT have.. but he DIDN'T, which makes all the difference.
4) Sure, in theory, he might have been on voice com with his teammates. Well, we had BranchDavidian spectating, and even without a radar, had he been on voice coms with us (he wasn't, btw) it would have been just as bad as having a spec with a radar. Specs have no need, or benefit, from radars. This is why specs are not allowed in actual ladder matches. Check the rules. Again, this was not a ladder match. The ladders haven't started yet. So everybody lay off 210, ringers, regs, n00bs, Z.. it's all the same. They didn't cheat. They merely beat the living tar out of us, and there's no rules against that.
Now, once again..

Well here on UM its a lot different than the outside world of OGL and ProvingGrounds. This is a friendly close community compared to the chest thumping ego maniacs over at the competitive community. So in retrospect for UM's purpose it is best to ban them from all UM activities reguardless if its a scrim, match or even public server play.

08-09-2002, 08:01 PM
Very well said creep!
That is exactly why admin's will make decisions on a case by case basis. :D
Stopping cheaters takes the whole honest UT community, however we have to be careful to never punish peeps who are not involved (ie: like false accusations , etc) .
To be straight forward, if this situation had taken place during a ladder match, my vote would be to kick the team from the ladder, and possibly ban everyone involved (although it can't happen because spec's ARE NOT allowed). Please don't think cheats are rampant here, they are in fact very few and far between thanks to hog's very diligent efforts :twisted:
Any and all cheaters will be spanked silly here, always, k?

I couldn't take it; some of the conversation borders on the delusional. It's juuuuust a game.....

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE, LET ALONE TO SUGGEST THAT THEY "REEVALUATE THEIR LIFE" WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? DO YOU THINK YOU ARE A BETTER ALL AROUND PERSON JUST BECAUSE YOUR NOT AS GOOD AT THIS GAME AS SOME OTHERS ARE?? YOU PROBABLY SPEND MORE TIME PLAYING IT THAN THEY DO!! MAYBE YOU SHOULD RE-EVALUATE YOUR HAND-EYE COORDINATION, AND YOUR ATTITUDE. AS FOR THE RINGERS COMMENTS, WELL NOBODY MENTIONS THE FACT THAT 4 OF THE UMH PLAYERS ARE IN THE TOP TEN ON THE STATS PAGE. THERE AREN'T EVEN FOUR PLAYERS IN THE TOP TWENTY ON MY TEAM (NO OFFENSE MEANT TOWARDS UMH). THIS TEAM CONSISTS OF REGULARS, SMILEY WAS PLAYING HERE WELL BEFORE I ASKED HIM TO BE ON MY TEAM, AND I HAD NO CLUE WHAT AN ANIMAL HE IS. I SAW WICKED PLAYING HERE BEFORE HE WAS EVER ASKED TO PLAY FOR 210 ALSO. IT'S NOT LIKE WE
WENT OVER TO OGL RECRUITING OR ANYTHING. I'M SURE JA AND HO CAN GET SOME PRETTY VICIOUS TEAMWORK GOING AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO PLAYING TOGETHER. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, AND DON'T LASH OUT BECAUSE IT'S WEAK. I GUESS THIS WILL PROBABLY PUT ME BACK ON THE PUBLIC ENEMY LIST, BUT O'WELL !!
I gotta say that I recognize everyone on every team as a regular UnrealMafia player except for some of 210?!?!? I'm not sure that the intention of the Ladder tourney's on UM were meant to solicit the services of "ringers" as we are calling them. Maybe it's just coincidence that all of these guys started playing very recently on UM, or maybe something drew them to "Us", whatever the case it does raise a red flag for me. As a player that plays rarely I really don't feel like entering a game that I plan to get slaughtered on, against guys I have never even heard of before (no offense to these guys, just trying to put some reason to all of this). Playing against UMH, I gotta say that I have played against each and every one of them as an individual in the past. Yes they are all real good players, ranked nice and High (which tells me they have been around for a while) but they were here way before this ladder tourney was a wet spot on the bed.
Just my $0.02, I have played against a few of the 210 guys and they are all great players, just want to voice that OGL is a fine organization that I have absolutely nothing to do with because I do not live and breath UT (more power to those that do). If we are going to bring OGL to the UnrealMafia Ladders, then I will find something else to do with my time.

Creep? Where did you read ban? Do you just make up what you want to hear and then post against it? Read it again my friend! I said nothing about banning the group! My point was to make an example of this team. Make them absolve the 210 tag and if they want to regroup then so-be-it, they will have to play under a new name. that way when someone asks "what happened to 210" we will say "one member got caught cheating and now the group is no more"

Ok... maybe you didnt read the big point here...
"it was a 210 player (Obi-wan) who pointed out the cheat to the rest of us"
Obi / moose, was the first guy to spot the cheat, he talked to the team, then we talked to hogman about it.
There is no, "210 got caught cheating"
210 Turned IN a cheat.
As for the "ringers" ive played with smiley quite a few times on um1, ive seen obi play twice on before. But i havent personally seen wickedyaw play on UM1. But i havent been around for about 2 weeks.

08-09-2002, 09:18 PM
I'm glad that more peeps around here are thinking 'innocent until proven guilty' as opposed to 'guilty by association.' :D
First off, we are not cheaters. In fact, we pointed out the cheater. A team of cheaters would not do that. Taking that a step further, we don't even tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct. Several threads in our own private forum are devoted on how to act respectably as a team. What's funny is which team member those posts we're directed to. Make a wild guess... 8O
Second, any ladder is going to have some competition in it. To say PGL/OGL clan members can't come in this league is like saying Shaq can't play in the NBA. He's too good and too big. That's basically a cop-out. For the naysayers out there, stop selling yourselves short. There are a ton of good players here. If you're not, here's a novel idea: GET BETTER.
If the point is to give regs (and I consider myself a reg!) the edge, maybe more mods and maps should be added to the opening ladder. UMH is a great team. They all own on the pub servers. Despite the loss, I guarantee that it would have been a different game if Vint had Speed and Poop had an SL. :wink:
Last, 210 is not Z. It's Brik's team, not Zenkai. Wicked and Obi are playing for the fun of it, just like everyone else. Nor are they professional gamers. They just happen to whoop ass. And me, I was only with Z just long enough to get a jersey out of it. :roll:

I may as well throw in my US$0.02...
I've gotta go along with JaC on this one. This wasn't a ladder match, just a friendly scrim. The guy who cheated was clearly an idiot and has been dealt with. We all know how Aureo has acted since he got here. Hell, he even threatened to DoS UM once!
As for the rest of his team, well they never met him in person, and they never saw him play in person, so I have no trouble believing that they didn't know he was cheating. From their posts, and their chats in IRC, they all seem like level-headed guys (yes, even Brik :wink:). Aureo was clearly an anomaly in their team.
The cheater is gone, leave 210 alone.
On the subject of "ringers"... Just play! I think it's a good sign that some great players have shown up to play on the ladders. It means that there is serious interest in ladder competition. I would definitely like to see the ladders succeed, and it'll take lots of teams to make that happen.
As long as you can keep a good attitude, you can become a better player! Heh, I don't cry when I get shock-h0'ed by WickedYaw... again! I just celebrate when I finally get him (even if it is with a Vengeance relic... baby steps :) )! Take lots of demos, and maybe you'll learn something. If you don't want to learn anything... well, prepare to get 0wned. Just don't come crying to the forums.

I guess to chime in here: I have to say this whole situation makes me sick. Not because someone got cheating. Not because someone was stupid enough to post his own incriminating screenshot. (My god is that stupid! But what can you expect from someone who thinks he can fool everyone and get away with it.)
Its because far too many people are robbing themselves of one of the great joys in life: Deriving satisfaction from your own hard-earned efforts. Succeeding by your own hand is the best high there is. Its better than drugs. Its better than sex (ok, but not by much :)) People who cheat or take shortcuts to victory and success just cannot comprehend the satisfaction that people who earn such things do. They know, deep down, that any accolades they receive are not deserved.
It seems to me that in the last 10 years more and more people are expecting other people to gurantee their successes. And I don't just mean playing games like UT or Q3A or <insert your favorite game here>. I mean in life. Everyone seems to expect equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. If they don't get the same result as the highest achievers then something must be rigged or their efforts mus be sabotaged. Nothing in life is guaranteed, folks. If you want to succeed and prosper, you have to put in some sweat equity. You have to work for it.
The cheaters and the shortcutters (is that a word?) of the world are doing their best to destroy the credibility of everyone who has achieved their place in life by hard work, perseverance, and by seizing the all the opportunities presented to them. I'm just sick of it. Just because all you see now is someone's success doesn't mean they haven't spent years of work in obscurity and suffered through numerous failures to get where they are. I'm good at this game; I've played it for years and I've played it fairly. I'm proud of my skill and success even though there are plenty who can best me easily. I'm proud of my professional success at work. I have the respect of the people I work with.
But here, I am absolutely pissed at Aureolei for giving everyone the excuse to portray me as a cheater because I happened to be associated with him before I knew what he was doing. If I had known he was cheating I would have demanded he be kicked off my team or I would have quit. End of story. I'm sure others on the 210 team would do the same.
But now, I know a certain number of people will always believe that "I must be cheating" because he was. They will assume I just "have to be smart enough not to get caught". I've lost something that will be almost impossible to regain just because one twit took the easy way out.
There will always be doubt in some people's minds, and that's truly a shame. Not just for me, but for everyone who takes pride in their own accomplishments. Pride earned fairly through hard work, skill, and determination.
Damn, I've become my father.

I don't understand that, ok we see Aureoleis little punk ass using a cheat, and no one knew it, he basically turned him self in with his own little stupidity and wanting to look better than others for being in the clan that beat UMH. You don't know if cheats are rampant here, we now know that there is atleast 1 cheat that this server can allow with out anyone knowing about it, and thats just what we know, im sure the little mod makers or cheat makers that hang around here or even the UT lifers here make their own that beat this and no one knows about them because its private. So don't lie to the people, you have no idea if cheats are big here or not....

Well said, HUMAN! (cool avatar BTW) :)
If this whole cheating incident had to happen to someone, I'm kinda glad it was Aureo. He's been a PITA since he got here. I was hoping he'd cool out a bit, but I guess I was overly optimistic. I can only assume that you all also hoped he'd chill and actually be a cool teammate.
Knowing what I know of Aureo, I personally don't hold this incident against 210. I respect you guys for bringing this up yourselves, and dealing with it quickly and decisively.
As for my comments regarding ringers... I just want to say that they weren't directed at anyone in particular, just against the feeling that, "If I can't win, I won't even try." Not that anyone said that, but that's the general feeling that I'm getting. So what if these guys are awesome? By playing against these guys more and more, I expect to get better bit by bit (as long as I practice). As I get better, the people that I play against will also get better.
As an example (since people like examples), I point to the US Olympic basketball team. Remember when they started using pros instead of college players? They spanked everyone silly, right? Well, the competition has been stepping up! Mainly because of cross-pollination with foreign players in the NBA playing with their home countries... but I think that analogy wold hold here.
Heh, I remember when I first got here. I got totally spanked! Now... well I still kinda sux0r here, but I was playing on Machine a few nights ago, and someone actually accused me of using a bot! Me!!! Hah! I can thank the competition on the Mafia servers for that. :D

Billy, it would take quite a lot of time and effort to code a cheat by yourself that defeats PURE. Anyone who has the skills to do that probably has better things to do with their time. I have to stick the "probably" in there because there may actually be someone out there that derives satisfaction from creating a cheat and not sharing it with anyone... I doubt it, but it's possible.
Coding any type of modification to a game takes lots of testing, so it helps to have lots of beta testers... hence the cheating communities, and hence the anti-cheating communities.
Ja has a lot more experience with these matters than you do, so don't be too quick to dismiss his comments.

I totally agree! At first I would get so pissed that this "JaCanadian" character kept slaughtering me everytime I played against "her" but over time I learned to observe and learn from him and it has helped my game play quite a bit. You can learn a lot from these guys and should be proud that people like the NFO and Zenkai hang out here. It says a lot about the UM that serious hardcore players such as them like to come here to have fun with the rest of us.

Why would you want it to be okay for someone to cheat at all?!? To me there isn't enough difference between a scrim or a match or playing on a public server to condone cheating. My vote, cheaters get banned and their team penalized without distinguishing between when and where they cheat. :evil:
:!: I think cheating is cheating.
And whether its in a scrim or a match, there is no cheating allowed on this SERVER at all. Period.
He would've gotten at least a temporary ban just for cheating in a public game, let alone an organized scrimmage.
For those of us who EARN every frag, EVERY flag cap, every victory- ANY cheating at all, is our mortal enemy and should not be tolerated.
I think there is ZERO TOLERANCE for cheating of any kind, any time, any place!
Unless someone has something to hide... :evil:

Assholiolio or whatever his name is was cheating? I find that hard to believe since he was not dominating any games I was playing, above average at best. Oh well, I guess he may just have sucked at cheating.
Where is this screenshot at? I looked and couldn't find it.
BTW, I thought the !@#$%& ( I never really liked the guy) should have been banned when he was making dos threats and what not. I guess Hogman and the rest of the administrators are a forgiving type, which isn't a bad thing. Good ridence to bad rubbish :doublefinger:

I have both screen shots too that I took in game (and a demo of Orbital). I was talking about only having one screen shot that Auerolie (or however u spell it) took.

Yeah, you Zen-Kai peeps really wiped up the floor with us. I didn't realize that you guys were the #1 clan in OGL until after the match. Otherwise, I would have felt like we were a college team taking on the Super Bowl champs! Anyway, it was only our third team scrim and none of us really have had any ladder or clan experience so we'll have to try this again once we've had some more practice.

Enteresting... Well I agree he should be banned. I think the team should be observed more carefully for signs someone else is cheeting also but I don't personly think they are so nothing should be done to them IMHO.
I'm much more concerned about this whole ringers issue. Fact is Brik is calling UMH a team of ringers. Which may or may not be true but we are in fact REGs. Every one of us plays on UM#1 at least once every 2-3 days some of us like me play sometimes 20 hours in a 60 hour period.
Here
ringer
n 1: (informal) a person who is almost identical to another [syn: dead ringer] 2: a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses
Striat from dictionary.com. Bottom line Obiwan and Wicked are NOT regs. Dress it up all you like but I heard Obiwan openly admit he dislikes SLs. Saying he's a reg would be like saying Shaq is an Atlanta Brave. I play on UM1 and 2 ALL the time I've never to my recoletion played ether one of them. I saw Obiwan talking on IRC after that scrim thursday night seems like a nice guy. Doesn't change the fact that Brik recriuted them just because he wants to do exactly what Aeuri (however the hell he spells it) was doing. Bragging that his team is the team to beat yada yada.
I feel this is "false pretenses". (its just an opinion) If the Z guys want to join the tourny fine bring themselves and 3 other clan mates show up and kick all our asses into the dirt, but don't do so under guise of being a reg or part of a reg clan. All your doing is proping up Brik's ego. No offence Brik I like you 99% of the time but its gotten out of control. I'm never one not to say what I think.
For the record I think with just human brik and dogma 210 is a great team. I'm sure there are 2 other avalible players that could complete that team and give UMH a serious run for it money. Acutaly I was looking forward to a real challenge fighting those three in the same game.
For the record I have not ever read the rules. I don't realy know if there is any hard rule about reg or non reg. I just feel we should call a spade a spade. I'm not saying I want them out of the tourny etc. All I'm saying is stop trying to fool everyone into beliveing there regs. There not. More importantly stop bragging that you bested UMH when you didn't they did. (that is mainly pointed at Aeus wahtever the hell his name is)
Above and beyond any of this I'd like to point out that Miss fire and myself BOTH were missing from that game. We happen to be two of UMH's better players(two of the 4 ppl Brik mentioned are in the top 10). So don't be so sure about whos going to best who. Not a challenge just a simple point of fact.
Also to Obiwan you mentioned something about the OGL being a bunch of chest thumping crazed gamers yada yada don't remember your wording... well UM is slowly becomeing just like that. I have notice certian players purposely gunning for me in game that before this all started didn't give me the time of day. I'm talking they see me in the center of a map and go chase me down to kill me just so they can pat themselves on the back and say hah I killed soin so. Without me mentioning one word one of my teammates siad the EXACT same thing on IRC the other day. Its gotten bad enough that I have seriously considered quitting UT all together. Some ppl includeing me take it to seriously. A ladder is just makeing that 100 times worse..........................
Flame on... Boy this should be fun...

I had to reply,,,,I think people aim for you because they don't like you....Almost everytime we are in there together I always get some smart ass comment from you or MissFireCracker, and you two know how I am if you say something to me I will say something back. But I talked to other clans and their members and they were telling me how you two always have bad attitudes. Also the fact that after every game you lose, you blame someone on your team for the loss, you never take a loss and leave it at that.....You have a very unsportsmanlike attitude to the game....
BTW: I found a lot of spelling errors in yer post....

Dark-Man -
I never claimed I was a regular. I am new to UM and I came here to play for fun with my friends WickedYaw and SmileyFOX. That was the ONLY reason I came here to play. I started out playing here as my Zenkai name. Then after a night of playing I was asked by BRIK and Smiley if I'd be interested in playing a tourney with them for fun. I said sure if I'm around I'll play. I then changed my name for the UM community to Obi-Wan Kenewbie and even put the Zenkai logo as my avatar and in my first post on UM saying I have arrived I even said who I was. Never tried to hide who I am but I just enjoy playing as Obi-Wan because I like the name :)
I agree with you that I am an "outsider" and you have every right to feel the way you do about me. But just because I don't have 50 hours logged on the UM server doesn't mean that I or anyone else shouldn't be allowed to play with a group of friends in the UM league.
I stated that I don't like SL and relics. This is true. I am not one who loves to play with any mods. But I enjoy a change of pace from the regular grind of UT CTF. This change of pace is UM. It has many different maps (some suck while others are ok). It has the relics and SL mods (wouldn't mind seeing these go). But I still play on the UM server from time to time.
I play on the UM server the most right now. In fact I have not played on any server other than UM for the past 2 weeks (excpet any clan matches / scrims). I am not a very active player anymore and in fact when I was told I needed to log 10hrs on UM server to play in this league I was worried that I could even log 10hrs on any public server in 7 or 8 weeks time. That shows you how often I play anymore :)
I am involved with the UT community both here and other places more often than I play. I talk to people on IRC, forums, etc.
So yes, I am an outsider compared to many of you. I dont have my time logged here in the UM community. Howerver, I feel like I'm being descriminated against just because I happen to be a "good" player. If I was the worst UT player alive and joined 210 or any team I don't think anyone here would care.
I feel 210 can do just fine without me or WickedYaw. I don't plan on carrying any team. I do plan to help them out with understanding teamwork and showing them how to play maps.
Its not individual skill/talent that wins CTF games. Its the teamwork of the players that win games. Skill is 2nd to teamwork! Fragging, prediction of enemy movements, agility on maps and knowing how to ambush players are all tricks that help win but without teamwork, you won't get far.

Enough ALREADY!! Quit slamming 210 or what you call ringers.. Midas call any one in a clan ringer.. I am a reg but play more elsewhere and play more Vanilla Ctf than i do mods.. The rules which the admins set state the hours of play and whether right or wrong thats what was decided..
Because of the Skill of a player does it matter...
Let me pose this question?????????
If Wicked Yaw and Obi sucked would this thread be 7 pages???
NO!!!!!

just read thru the whole thread...........where are most of the dudes who were regs here??? Just vanished from the UP and UT community?
very interesting read GoW ,ty.I like to know UP historrry when i can get my hands on it.
TBH, this thread and the original cirmcumstances surrounding it are the reason i would never join any clan. Not that i'm even skilled enough in the first place but stuff like this would just take the fun out of it for me. I like being a loner.......pop in and out of any game i want. No Scrims or appointments for ladders to keep UP with.Just playing for the fun of it.Thats just me however.
PS_ watching you play in S1 a few night ago .........very interesting....i imagine UMH is a force to be reckoned with in ladders :beer:

Damn Demi... I just now noticed you responded to this thread. It looks like after I bumped it, it was promptly moved to the UMH forums from 'General Discussion' by the admins where it won't be seen by most UP people. I probably missed it for that reason or because I was banned.
This thread is even pre-UP history. It originally came from the old UnrealMafia forums before they were merged with UP. Lot's of great peeps in this thread... sadly almost all are no longer around. There are many reasons for this... if you want more info, let me know in a pm.

Although UT is for most intents and purposes, is a dead stick, I certainly wouldn't let anything in this thread discourage you from participating in a clan or in clan events in other gaming venues. The trick to clanning is that you have to join the right clan for you. Many clans are composed only of players that have one focus, winning and ego. It's that focus that obscures their ability to have fun as a group. These clans/people are what gives clanning a negative reputation among more relaxed players.
Most clans that |UMH| dealt with when UT was at its peak were not like that at all, instead they were tight-knit groups of people who were more concerned with having fun with a team of like-minded friends they enjoyed playing than they were with "owning". Thus, most of our experience with other clans were postive ones.
|UMH| is just a great team of good people. The people who are/were members of |UMH| almost all consider the experience to be the the best gaming experience they've ever had... myself included. Individuals like Dark_Man (who was kicked out of the clan after a very brief stint) didn't fit in because he only cared about one thing... winning... and he didn't care how he got there. He might have fit in better with one of many other clans who had a "win at all costs" focus.
The guy who was caught with a cheat loaded was just a moron. He is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. He worked with a couple of other guys (one being Brik who was really a nice guy) to create a team with one purpose... owning everyone in the tournament. When he (Aurolie or whatever his name was) found out about UMH forming and NFO being in the tournament, he recruited mostly players from the top PG and OGL clan, Zen Kai to dominate the "for fun" tournament. Although the [Z] players were mostly a bunch of good guys, that team (210) was assembled for the wrong reason and a couple of the non-[Z] people were great fraggers but total tools. The moron that Brik is apologizing about, posted a screen shot of a 210 win over UMH during a scrim in an effort to brag about how big his e-shlong is. The idiot was running radar when he took the screen shot and of course it showed up when he posted it for all to see.
PS_ watching you play in S1 a few night ago .........very interesting....i imagine UMH is a force to be reckoned with in ladders :beer:
Yeah... we are/were pretty good but honestly, most of us do much better without relics involved. ;)
