Agreed. Say you are sitting in the same room, playing a game with family, or friends.. and you are cheating. Not just (hey, I am gonna troll this guy), but you are cheating to win? Are you a scumbag? Yeah, probably. You can try to rationalize it anyway you want "ah, it is just a video game". But change it to something a little more direct (not as disconnected as an online video game) like you are cheating on a poker game with some friends.. that you have to look in the eye. You think they are just gonna be "haha, pal. nah, that's cool" Or, you think they may want to punch you in the face?

After playing on a private hive server last night, I am totally for this. It was the most fun my buddy and I have had playing this game in a long time. All of a sudden, a shotgun, winchester, or enfield are amazing finds again! Running into people, it was not an instant "shoot first" scenario EVERY time!

Yeah, it sucks having a good time ruined by hackers.. But, was fun none the less.

That is the thing. I wouldn't call it "mindless".. Overzealous, perhaps. But, 3.. THREE guys playing together felt something was not kosher..and not with your whole clan, but one member. And, this was in the middle of a gun fight with other members, who appeared to be impacted "normally" be effects of a back and forth battle. I hope you guys get your server up and going. I hope Static is on the level, and we can all hunt zombies (and each other) with our cocks in our hands. peace

Just stating what I found. Trying to stay neutral here.. That is why I stated what I found and asked questions. I like to think the better of people and hope to think Static is on the 'up and up". From his post, he definitely seems sincere (but, it IS the internet ;) ). We ALL know there are cheaters in this game. It is a fact, and it sucks. I know for me, and I am sure most of you, it gets tiresome trying to enjoy a game (relief from that "life I have") and getting insta-killed, air dropper, thunderdomed, invisible playered, etc.. Especially in the last couple weeks, it seems like this is a nightly, if not several times a night, occurrence. So, looking at both sides, especially the OPs, I can see why they start to get fed up, when they believe they have run into a cheater. From your side, I completely understand sticking up for a clanmate, especially until PROVEN guilty. Even in guilt, it is hard not to want to back them up. I ran into this EXACT same scenario in my clan (that I have been with for 12 years). Keep in mind, that this all started, then a day later the global ban came up...and people started dropping like flies. Then, not seeing static on the server, just made things, again SEEM, worse.. That, on top of multiple aliases, and finding his name on some shady as site (reputable, or not)...it just looks bad. I think if he survived the global ban hammer (with the same GUID), then that is that. And, if there is no forthcoming proof to show guilt of static proof (some pun intended), then let bygones be bygones. I like to see a straight up server, run by a clan that has scruples, wants to enjoy the game and all that comes with it. Cheers

So.. just some searching.. may mean nothing.. Static Proof, also known as InnovaticePC http://steamcommunity.com/id/InnovaticePC - Does not appear to have played ARMA 2 a whole lot.. though, not seeing anything that shows he has played the last couple days (since this thread was created).. though, I am not sure you can get specific dates and times through Steam Community. So, after doing some searching on the above alias, I was led to a list on binrand.com. Perhaps someone can clarify this for me, but there seem to be several lists on this site that lists the names of hackers (banned, or not, I am not sure).. http://www.binrand.com/post/552241-one-steam-steam-72-000-leeched-userlist.html So, take it for what it is worth. Just some interesting stuff that I came across. Since a lot of that site is in German (or something else), it is not entirely clear what I am looking at.. But, I was looking through other threads on that site, with titles such as: "[sTEAM] If you're name is on this list, you're gonna have a bad time" or "Xizaan STEAM_0:0:20031648 Banned for 231 mo, 2 wk, 10 hr, 39 min on Thu02.08.12 for freekilling. No previous bans" So, this specific list MAY be something else..just odd that his name was on here (Leeched Userlist, what is that? Stolen identity?). Does anyone know if there is a Global Banned List for Battle Eye? We have all seen the QQ threads from these newly banned hackers..is there a way to pull a list of EVERYONE that got nailed with this latest wave of ban-hammering? Is there a way to do it by server (such as yours, [FTW])? just some food for thought. Have you FTW guys played with Static the last two days? I know real life happens and not everyone plays everyday like I do :( Also, on your server, is there a way to check people CD keys with their username? Saying, just in the off chance that Static WAS banned, but went out and bought a new copy of ARMA 2 and used his same user name.. Could you tell if he was on a different key? Well, my 2 cents. Hugs and kisses to all of your pink parts
