Thx for the kind words folks
Brian, it was one kill, I wasn’t even blind for the first one. Watch the demo. That’s the thing about this demo, if you watch it with wireframe on it’s even more obvious I’m not cheating. If I was hacking, wouldn’t I have actually done something that looks like hacking? I wouldn’t do just enough to convince some admins, wouldn’t I actually be pinpointing people through walls, or at least following them, or snapping to heads or something?
Bitey, there is nothing third party installed in my cstrike folder other than custom maps.
And Blue! Blue blue blue! It was a lucky grenade. I was at middle when you say you were checking corners in side hall, and a little too much time had passed and B was clear, so where else could you be but side hall? So I was going to run in and kill you, I threw a grenade first, apparently it hit you but I didn’t hear it do so, you killed me because of that. So when you were calling bull*edited* on the mic, so was I because CS robbed me of a kill
I’ll send you the demo blue. It’s not like I was standing there waiting for you, and if you’ve never seen me do some “few and far between” BS before, it’s because we never played that much together. Goat knows what I’m talking about, I’ve thrown amazing grenades on that guy in the past lol. Compared to some of that stuff, as I said, this thing was a stupid, lucky grenade. And Davey, to me it’s less important being banned or not from the WCU pub than setting the record straight, I don’t want people thinking I hack in this game. It’s funny and or cool when people accuse me in pubs, but on this place where all the regs know me, it’s insulting. The only persons claiming I hack are the ones with all the power, so if I appeal either they’d immediately unban me because they have no proof and they should know not to even suspect me by now, or they’d tell me to GTFO because they’ve decided how they handle skilled players on this server. My initial feeling when I was banned this time was that the admins had just decided they had had enough of me and wanted me gone. That’s what I’m still feeling now. I’m not an unfriendly person to play with, am I? I couldn’t think of another reason other than some of them are pretty bad at CS, and have banned players for being good in the past. One reason I asked for admin on the server in the past, besides the fact that hackers only came on when there were no admins it seemed, and protection from the other admins of course, was the idea that maybe I could stop that from happening to other veteran players. As you know Dave the only reason I put in time at WCU was that the regs are awesome. I made suggestions for the team balancer, suggestions for new maps (thx for puttin strata on, now more people will know about it), and that kind of stuff here on the forums so the environment could be better, but obviously I wouldn’t have bothered with it if the player base didn’t always make the games fun as hell. We can still play Davey, and we have, but WCU won’t be the place for it, not considering that decent, honest players are punished on it for nothing. That’s not something I’m putting up with. Besides, as Kappa said, it’s probably time to let someone else be #1.
Well Bitey, I don’t know. Im running in DX9, settings high, there shouldn’t be any confusion. I don’t remember the flash being shorter for me or not when I played this round. Normally when I’m in that kind of situation with obvious enemy presence and possibility of death, I just keep burst firing where I think people might be, blind or not. Pink mentioned this.
And I don’t know what to say Liam, the demo is like three minutes long if that, I only get three kills the entire time. For someone of my experience level and amount of time logged in this server, one little demo is far from enough to put this to rest. There’s something else sketchy? Half the demo is me just standing around, messaging people on friends. This whole situtation is just hilarious to me. And what do you suggest me do, appeal this nonsense ban so I can get some snide remark in my face?
I was totally blind for maybe one second, after which it was just that source fade-away effect thing, I can sometimes see through that. And I want to point this out: Does me being blind mean the game doesn’t exist during that duration? Am I not allowed to fire my weapon at a location where I’m almost certain a T might be strafing at that instant? Anyway, you’ll notice that 2 seconds later I get flashed again and that time, since I needed to reload anyway, I did in fact back into a corner and look away. The blind headshot thing is just not a reason for this snap decision, and like I said, why after six months of me playing regularly on this server is that kill even surprising? Why is my shooting into a wall surprising, I knew there were enemies behind it. This whole thing is being too heavily looked into, too blown out of proportion, and I’m afraid people are just seeing things that are not there.
It’s also strange to me that people such as Liam, Brian, Fascist, Bitey, etc., would think I’m cheating after months of playing together. Some are more regular players than others but I just assumed I was free to play the game like I play it.
Ditto Renton
add me to ur friends if you haven’t before, xsushi@hotmail.com. And thank you Pink for putting it well, glad to see someone level headed.
And Bitey: If you would take another look at the kill indicators in that demo, you’d notice that this “two totally blind AK headshots” thing I keep hearing about it is actually one half-blind kill. There’s no difference to me between half-blind and not blind at all in CS. And in that particular situation, where it’s obvious where the enemy team is, why is it surprising to anyone that I got kills?. And as pink pointed out, unfortunately there is discrepancy between demos and client side play, that’s just going to happen in a game that moves so fast and requires such precision like CS. I hate it that you’re upset about it, same with Brian, but I can tell you the truth about this whole matter because I’m an honest person: I’ve never hacked in this game. I don’t care what the demo shows, it’s worthless and is possibly one of the worst examples of a supposedly ban-worthy demo I have ever seen, and I’ve taken my share of demos with which to ban people with. I know what a hacker looks like. There need not be some big mystery here, no one needs to be saying “I guess we’ll never know” because I’m laying this to rest right now: I do not cheat.
Oh, and this miracle grenade on blue that is just supposedly sure-thing evidence of me walling is me being a reasonably smart player, and throwing a lucky grenade. Notice that blue still killed me though, because, and you can see this in the demo, the grenade for some reason didn’t make that damage sound effect, so I figured no one was there. Which is why I strafed in a wide manner with my crosshair flicked to the right instead of turning into the corner the way I would if I had known he was there. Again, there is nothing conclusive about this demo. And that’s why I’ve been laughing about it.
What’s the point Bitey? I appealed the first time I was wrongfully banned, I shoudn’t have to do it again. You guys are awesome, and I always enjoyed playing WCU, but at the end of the day I don’t appreciate being punished for skill or luck, and I’m not saying I’m the best player in the world. As bracket pointed out, if certain people hold all the authority to decide this kind of stuff, and certain of them are unclear about what a hacker is in Counter-Strike, then I can’t do anything more on this one server than say goodbye to the regulars and play elswhere. Everyone on WCU including all the admins know I don’t hack in this game, it just makes no sense for a player who’s been with CS since long before Steam even existed to wallhack or aimbot or whatever it is I’m being accused of. My old school CS friends would think I’m wasting my time even posting this thread, but I have had a lot of fun on WCU and I can’t just leave without a word. Alas, I don’t believe it’s worth my time to fight against a ban so random and uncalled for that it clearly should not have been issued in the first place, not when it would likely just happen again down the road. If the ban is lifted, great: I’ll pop in here and there and play, whatever. I’ve played and adminned so many servers in the past that I’m not gunna cry about this one just because I was banned for being pretty good at CS, this is far from the first time it’s happened. One thing that bugs me, and I’ll say it because it’s been cracking me up for the past few days, is that I was banned based on a demo of me playing an extremly subpar round of CS, in my opinion. I wasn’t in the zone, I wasn’t playing that well for my standards. I’d rather get the boot for doing something insane, I mean why couldn’t a 7-kill headshot-only team ace with a bomb defusal have gotten on the demo? Things don’t always work out in your favor, sadly.
There’s a remake of the old cs_siege for Source that I think is really good, at least good enough to have on a pub server. Bitey asked me to post a link, so here you are: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/16837
Always good to have more hostage maps.
Custom maps such as Strata or Corse are easily good enough to be official and are often better than some that come in the game (tides, anyone?). So, pink, die in a fire please.
Bracket where’s that man date you promised me? I haven’t got my romantic night on the town and drunken hotel room antics yet.
In terms of maps to add, one absolutely amazing custom map is entitled de_strata, and it should be added to the rotation. Check it out if you’ve never played it. Adding losttemple was a great move for the server, and if you like that you’ll like strata.
Also, remove scoutknives.
How much time do we have, anyway? Is this urgent or can people save a little till they have extra cash to donate.
As of the last update, as has been said, the balancer is stacking teams horribly. If players attempt to switch teams themselves, it just autos them back. Yea.
We’ve won Italy on CT before with hostage rescues, you just gotta cowboy up and get the hell in there fast. It’s not like in real life counter terrorists would wait for the terrorists to come to them.
I just went through four days of no internet, because my university housing decided to disable the network coming into my room for no apparent reason. Finally got my internet turned back on today. So I haven’t even played, I would have loved to play this weekend, lag or not.

iv tryed 1.2 befor 1.1 and i chould not fine the adminlist.txt file….unless im just stupid and didnt find it
___________________________________________
i just download the 1.2 and theres no adminlist.txt to add admins… do i us something else to add em?
You can just make your own
Just an empty text file w/ the steamid’s in it, call it adminlist.txt. You can also add comments to remember who’s steamid is whos, like //Jesus then the id on the next line.J.E.S.U.S said:
Thanks,i got it working but now i have another problem…. i get this error when ever i try to us a admin command “FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE prevented server running command: cmd” i dont understand what this means…..
and yes i know mani has a help forum but it dosent help me any.
I’d suggest installing version 1.2 instead of 1.1. I’ve used 1.2 and I seemed to get a lot less errors, it was beta when I used it but it still worked. That should do it, I know it’s a pain to reinstall it but whaddya gunna do.

Its simple, this is a pub, this is not clan dcpn vs the rest of the WCU server population or any other clan for that matter, it doesn’t matter to me but its the rules that were laid down, so I follow them. The big issue is not that clan stacking can cause one team to be really good, its that by doing that it almost encourages ghosting, thats what we are trying to avoid for the most part I think, we know that many people play while in vent or teamspeak and we just want to avoid that possibilty of ghosting the best we can.As you say though, you can’t really stop ghosting and certainly aren’t doing any good by splitting up clan members. If it were literally like five clan guys versus five pubbers that would be one thing, but since I’ve never seen an amazing clan on the server anyway, I don’t think we have to worry about much. I mean I’ve seen clanners come in, get *edited*ed at for stacking, then just change their names and keep playing and as soon as people forget that they had tags on, no one cares because they sucked to begin with.
Assault is one of the classic maps that actually survived the Source transition. I can’t say the same for militia, though I do have a great custom militia the server should probably put on. Anyway, I vote for assault if the best maps such as inferno and d2 aren’t on the same vote menu, and I have fun regardless of which team I’m on because when Cliffe redid the map he had the genius to add a fourth point of entry into the warehouse.
One thing I realized today Liam is the possibility of the balancer switching the one and only good player off of a team after the first round. What if you’re on a team of people who’ve never played WCU before and are complete noobs, yet you get say 5 glock kills the first round, even though your team loses? You get switched to a dominating CT team, for example, and now the T’s have lost their only good player. I think the balancer is a little too sensitive right now with player kills, I mean just having one good round doesn’t warrant an automatic switch to the other team.
Another thing about actual numerical team balance: Tonight I saw a stacked team winning the game, and it was 8v7 in favor of that team. So not only were they pwning up but the team balancer wouldn’t spot them the extra player for that slight advantage.
Those are pretty much the only problems I see, otherwise good work Liam!
I’ll take out this whole dcpn clan business with one hand tied behind my back, blindfolded. Buncha nubs if you ask me, Bracket knows I speak the truth.
