Aaaa R3D don't capitalize on this scandal! But I very much see your point. Something needs to be done, perhaps cutting out specs in a competitive environment. But that is painful alright...

I really like to kill blind 1 or 2 silos without cheating but no specs is definetly not an option!
I will stop playing again. Now i have a new machine which allows me to play all other games. Maybe Mechs like 47!

blind nuking without ghosting is not cheating, and nor should it be considered such. It's just good judgement.

Blindnuking

Postby Dävid » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:07 pm

I think blind nuking is becoming confused with cheating. They have nothing to do with each other.

Cheating is cheating. If someone is ghosting and giving you info then THAT is cheating and not what you do with it.

The fact is that because after playing 8 years or so I know where stuff is likely to be. A few WB lines to confirm and Im good to go. That is experience...not cheating.

I understand that it is sometimes difficult when you get the feeling youre opponent has some sort of divine knowledge. I hate playing Counter Stike sometime because you just sit there swearing that they have some sort of hack. But guys weve been playing together so long. After a while our reputations must count for something. A cheater will always cheat again.

I would find it dificult to reasonably ban blind nuking (now that I can do it! Of course if I could do it I would say ban it!), without banning other intuitive and experience related tactics:

1. Naval Nuking
2. Standard setup nuking
3. Carpet nuking

Personaly Id love to ban fighter spam...but that just because R3D can do it better.
Or tanking because DEADCOWS always beats me with it.
Or offloading because TOM always spend all his stuff in 1 min.

Im certainly ok with agreeing with R3D not to blind nuke him in a 1v1 out of personal respect. I do the same for other noobs who say they are against naval nuking.

Ban cheating.

Ban the cheat.
If its AE; its ME.

Blindnuking is not a cheat. Im not using a ruler, and when i target probably only 30 percent of nukes hit...a it can bee seen on every recording...im using it only for strategic purposes because if i kill 2 enemy silos thats great since he cant then kill your silos and maybe you can preserve some strategic city and so on...
As for his fighterspam...fight fighterspam with fighterspam :)

as for blindnuking if u sense a player will blinduke you you counternuke him and problem solved, thats how i play with laika...jus counterlaunch :) was working well so far...

Cheating

Postby Dävid » Sun Jul 28, 2013 3:28 pm

Yes DEADCOWS, exactly THAT is the problem.
Ban the cheating but not the blindnuking. If you cant be sure if someone isnt cheating then we have to rely on reputation and honour. Just like in other "sports".
Thats why the response when cheating/doping/fixing results, always have to be punitive as it affect the whole spirit and trust in the game.
If its AE; its ME.

A whitelist in this case would be a database of players (or in this case maybe key IDs) that are allowed to join as spectators. Anyone not on that list would be rejected/kickied.
