:D?

it's nejm.
Never know for sure if he is trolling.
Pretty sure he looks like a troll though...

Haha, I knew you were gonna mention chaplja and TZAC. You didn't "predict" anything, and I doubt that you even know the full story of what happened. But yeah, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

You are a prime example of why I can't stand public server admins. Where is this ego coming from? What have you done to contribute to ET that justifies being so quick to criticize me and other actual admins who actually contribute on a daily basis?

Would you like to know the difference between me as an admin and you as an "admin"?

Your entire job is to protect one public ET server from cheaters and retards. You can mute, kick, and ban anyone you want without needing to back it up with proof or defend or explain yourself. They have no chance to appeal or complain to anyone, because it's just a game server. They can move on to the next one, and all is well. The vast majority of cheaters are very obvious, since there is no need to use bots with low settings or private cheats on a public server. Most players are not on comms with each other, so you don't have to worry about the possibility that he was simply told where the enemy was going to be. With RCON, it's as easy as typing one command and you have the full IP address of every player on the server at all times.

Just one of my many responsibilities is to keep cheaters from playing ET. Not just on one server, but in an entire league. There were 145 ladder matches played on 15+ different servers in the first week of CG ET. And not every match was played on ETTV. I'm expected to keep every single one of these games clean and ban anyone who cheats the instant that they do. I get PM'd every day with nothing more than links to matches on GamesTV and am told to watch the entire replay because player A thinks player B was cheating. I am expected to spend an hour watching a match because of a hunch. If I don't, then I am flamed for allowing cheaters to play.

And it doesn't stop there. When I actually do ban a cheater, I have to provide solid evidence that he was cheating. If he was wallhacking, I have to prove that the action wasn't caused by comms, sound, game sense, or pure luck, but rather by cheating. If he was using some sort of humanized aimbot, it is nearly impossible to prove that he was cheating. I also have to provide proof that the player in the demo matches 100% with the player's account on the league website. If I don't have this proof, he can simply appeal and get unbanned by people with more authority than me.

Once I successfully ban a cheater, my job is now to keep him from creating new accounts to play or simply continuing to play under a new nickname which is incredibly difficult since there is no way I can be present on every single server for every single match.

Other things I have to deal with? I have to keep the ladders running smoothly. I have to run cups and cup seasons on a regular basis. I have to sit on IRC and answer stupid questions from players who are too lazy to read the FAQ. I have to constantly be thinking of new things to help keep this game and community alive. I have to endure flame and whine daily.

What accomplishments have you made? I re-wrote all of the ET cup and ladder rules and updated the maplists. I created and ran something called a "Ladder Activity Challenge" which had never been done before. I ran an entire NationsCup season pretty much by myself. I brought 2on2 back. I helped keep TZAC alive along with Marcus, despite the fact that its developer not only abandoned the project and left us alone but also ended up returning to sabotage it all. I started the first real ET democrew. I introduced a new anticheat called UAC to ET. I have written 70+ newsposts, banned hundreds of accounts, and processed thousands of tickets. I helped convince CyberGamer EU to support ET and am currently running its ET section along with a few others. I just finished up plans for the first CG EU ET cup season.

So yeah, my duties as an admin are a bit more demanding than yours. I could go on, but it really isn't worth it. I am terrible sorry that I have disappointed you so much in my quest to keep ET clean, but you're just gonna have to deal with it.

You mentioned the ClanBase CoD2 admins and democrew. Yes, they did a good job. Why? The democrew had 10+ active players in it with 5+ active admins. They had a demo server and private forums. Players were always submitting demos with timestamps, so all they had to do was simply watch a demo at certain times and determine if the player was cheating. They also had PB on their side. I have 30% of their resources, no PB, and hardly ever receive timestamps.

There is a difference between being blind and staying positive. The reason I don't constantly discuss cheaters in public is everyone knows there are cheaters. Talking about it all of the time just adds to the paranoia and results in accusations being thrown around every time someone loses a war. I know what I am talking about because I see it as both an admin and a player. My job is to keep this game alive by keeping people happy and interested, yet here you are trying your best to make everyone else as paranoid and delusional as you.

I don't want everyone to be quiet, just you.

1 ) ja
2) nee
3) en nu ga jij het plots openemen voor admins? Wat?? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
4) Ik heb nooit problemen met je gehad. Dus ik ga er niets vuil aan maken
