Scottydawg have you have never HO'ed, vultched, picked, been part of a horde or spawn camped, all of which could be considered less than savory ways of getting a kill. If I am wrong, and you have done none of these then my apologies to you.
I am sure that in our lives we have done something we shouldn�t, but to keep things in perspective, this is a game, lighten up.
He admitted it, give him a break.
He admitted it only after he was caught. I was around and watched the whole sorry affair unfold. I'm not condemning anyone 'for life', as you so dramatically put it, however it speaks volumes to the maturity of said individual. It was only a few tours ago, you know.
I've never cheated, spawncamped, been part of a 'horde', I avoid vulching except for captures, and I've never scorepadded or 'gamed the game', I have no need to; like you say, it's just a game.
My issue is with giving the reins of a scenario over to someone who has done the things he has. A lot of people spend quite a bit of time designing, constructing and participating in these events and it alarms me that someone with (imho) such a limited grasp of fairness and good sportsmanship would be in a position to ruin all that effort.
yes, it is 'just' a game, but it is something that quite a few people enjoy. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill here, I'm just pointing something out. This is NOT a personal attack, don't mistake it as such. I don't know him personally and can only speak to the things I have seen him say and do here and in the game, and it is those things that lead me to question the situation as it stands.
