OH HaI, ISH MYERS. Yeah, CheMiCaL msg'd me on facebook showing me he's trying to get unbanned. Btw, making forum accounts are impossible now, another great thing about this game! Let's add in stupid questions with '42' as the answer to help noobiez get into this game!!! I mis-wrote my fake email the first time, so then tried to do it again, but it wouldn't let me because it was on the same computer, guess you can't have multiple forum accounts now? Even if the previous wasn't validated.
ANYWAYS duggas, I don't plan on continuely posting or trying to fight to get myself unbanned in this thread. I emailed Jitspoe everything I needed to, whether he decides to lower the ban or not is his choice. Judging about this new forum account creating hastle, I don't see him wanting this game to expand much. But the lack of mottivation is expected, it's been long enough and this game provides nothing but hastle to him.
I just basically want to clear up a few things,
1) The 'hacking' group that all got 1024 days didn't have the intention of "OMG LETS KILL THE GAME" - and for those who don't believe me, CheMiCaL got the cheats later then most of the people, so I'd doubt he would be a part of wanting to kill the game - but it was basically people moving on from the game and wanting to hack. Not going to lie, it was fun. We did it for about a week, but after there being about 1 cheater in every clan it become boring and we had the mass-turn in. (btw, there's still at least 1 person who is still not banned who used them, were they truly detectable?).
So basically, we just did it to hack. We didn't try and prove anything by cheating, we were already established in the community, and we didn't try to kill the community by cheating. That being said, we knew very well that it would make the game a lot less active, but it was just 'our group' who cheated. The distributor didn't spread it out of the group. The entire group was planning on quitting for a 'while' anyways, so yeah. I don't really know where all these "they tried to kill the game" assumptions came from.
Now to some comments in this thread,
1) Chemical, posting here wont help your case at all. Even if jitspoe read the forums (which let's be serious, he doesn't have the time to read a thread like this), your 'proposal?' wont make him suddenly think you're going to help this community. You're not providing him with anything special, you're just showing you want back in. That's the one thing Rick had over most others with a high ban, he could map and stuff, which he did while being banned showing he put time and effort while being banned. (He still served like what? 300 days?)
2) Rick, if you only distributed to me that'd be saying Cusoman HAPPENED to learn how to do it, as well as Navyseal and others at the EXACT same time? Unless you're saying I gave them out? Kinda odd. I don't want to bring stuff up from 3 years ago though, but there's more to that story than you say, considering you weren't my actual distributor.
3) Stop saying 'youre banned' to Chalk(Myles), cause he's not. He's the only one out of the 'hacking group' that got unbanned. He's currently playing digital paintball 2.0.
4) PvtJimmy leaked me a lot of committee information. I always lied to flip (since he seemed to be the only one who cared about finding out) by saying I got it from everyone, little peices then I put it together. But yeah, PvtJimmy was my longest-lasting leak. Shep never leaked me info, lied about that too. Heck, Idias hardly even leaked me anything which was disapointing. So yeah, there's the leak who told me a lot.
5) I agree with everyone who says not to unban hackers. That is, ban them before their ban lengths are up. However, I don't agree with 'special treatment' type situations, where certain people get lowered/highered ban times. Set standards, and use those standards. Players should never get their bans lowered or removed, they cheated, they get their ban length. But, when it's an undeserved time, than it becomes something personal which is dumb. If this game can't actively play without hackers coming back, than it's safe to say it's dead soon. It's had a good run. (The note about unfair ban lengths is towards the group that got banned recently, since most of them don't deserve that high.)
I can't think of anything else to say about this, but basically of the people who got banned some of them don't deserve it. Juiicy and CheMiCaL cheated later than most of us, and only cheated because everyone else was. They do not deserve to be banned, same goes for Skitzo who was just on teamspeak with us all and we told him we were using them. Cyntex distributed to everyone (as far as I know) and deserves to stay banned. Riddick spammed cheats all over IRC afterwards, and deserves to stay banned. Who else cheated with the group.... oh, Idias definitely doesn't deserve to stay banned, it was the guys first offence. So Idias, Chemical, Juiicy and Skitzo deserve their ban times relooked at.
I'd argue for myself, but unlike the others I don't plan on coming back. I have a new laptop and I'm at university. If I wanted to play I could've. I was planning on cheating before going off to uni for a while, as I started to get bored of the game, (Which is probably where this 'they want to kill the game!!!' idea came from). Me cheating before I quit was planned, it just happened that Cyntex happened to offer them on teamspeak to everyone. Everyone else mentioned followed in. So I'm completely fine with my ban time, and I don't expect anything done about it. But jitspoe only responded to 1 of the people who got banned, that being Chalk, in about what, 2 months? which shows he has no intentions of lowering most peoples.
-- I'm sorry Alec for continuing to derail your thread. I actually agree with you, after seeing how annoying making a forum account is I would've never played a game where making accounts are this annoying. (I wonder if reg accounts changed). But sadly nothing will get done, Jitspoe definitely isn't motivated to work on this game, when was the last build released?
Oh and Rick, why do you only say Skitzo? Because he's your friend unlike the others? Chemical was known as a rager, so you don't like him, but the fact that him and Skitzo were the same in the way they cheated (and they both have previous offences) why Skitzo? Why not juiicy? Chemical? Idias? - this is another problem with the community. Just like the people on forums as Chalk previously said, they rage newbies as much as any player did. A lot of people think their so high and mighty on forums trying to put down 'new' or 'younger' players. It's the same as raging in game.
Oh, and goodjob to people like Superman who are still contributing to the game and helping it. It`s players like you that have kept the game going for this long.
Peace out DP2, if you're going to say certain people deserve to be unbanned, base it off the situation, not their personalities. thanks folks. I`m not rereading so if parts dont make sense whatevz duggas
