how many people would be interested in a 1v1 ladder-style tournament...
If I can just clarify some of the finer points of the rules before signing up:
Will it be allowed to log into someone else’s account and fly on their behalf pretending to be them or is that privilege only extended to the organiser? I think this is a perfectly reasonable question given the organiser has done this on at least two occasions that we know of and even presented a YouTube video clearly demonstrating this (presumably in the interests of ‘unbridled competition’). - How could that be monitored?
Regarding spectating: will spectators in CM mode be allowed to be distributed on each side of the competition and will extra information not available to one of the competitors be allowed to be supplied to the other on Discord, say, or is that privilege only extended to the organiser and his squamates as openly demonstrated nowadays in the MA? - How could that be monitored?
Theoretically would any practically-advantageous selective packet-dropping software (to replicate TheJudge's unique internet connection) outside of the game be allowed such as the organiser was once caught using causing him to be ejected - in disgrace - from the real Damned squadron leading to his creation of a fake Damned Squadron because he cannot accept any wrongdoing on his part nor any authority over him? - How could that be monitored?
Given the motivation that playing-to-win-by-any-means-necessary is the only allowable culture now in AH, would aimbot software - if available - be allowed and if not then why not and how could it be monitored that everyone involved is
not cheating by
not using it?
Regarding the spirit of the endeavour - a meaningful question to those who are developed sufficient to know the score means basically nothing in isolation*: is the offering gift vouchers and economical flight gear and the further arranging of such a tournament designed to encourage a focus on developing ACM and respectful fights between fellow players, or is it - as has been demonstrated by the last eleven-months of activity in game and on this forum another one of those ‘total domination’ bragfests underpinned by profound insecurity, personality-disorders and toxic-griefing of selected individuals supported by the usual full High Definition YouTube videos, external to HiTech’s game? - How could that be monitored?
How can the last eleven months of in-game and on-forum and on YouTube activities be resolved with the essential impartiality and pre-assumed honesty and integrity necessary to host such an event given the observable shortcomings of the host in these areas? - How could honesty and integrity be monitored?
Yeah nah, having thought about it I realise you can't monotor any of those things and somehow I can’t trust the motivations and especially the organiser. One thing I’ve learned in the last year you can’t change a disturbed person but you can choose to not associate with them or be exposed to their toxicity. I think I have better things to do. Skorpions aren't cool and hard, they're just nasty little bugs that can't help but sting their own boat. Parabolically speaking.
I do apologise in advance if I have inadvertently broken any forum rules. I'm sure under Skuzzy's phase this would have been the case. But I only drop in here now occassionally to check PMs.
I had merely intended to pay my respects to TC whose departure I heard about from other channels. I was forced to guage what is acceptible by what has been going on in the last half a year, say, so apologies again if kicking a dickhead in his testicles at any opportunity as he has demonstrated himself as the norm, is in fact not the norm.
Good luck with it all and I hope you all understand excatly what you would be signing up for and thoroughly enjoy the experience.
<Salute> to some of you.
*Did you know the first Porsche entered in Le Mans and famously WINNING was the only car entered in its class and it merely had to complete the course at the chequered flag and was in essence a Volkswagen, known for doing not much more than actually finishing. Porsche sold an awful lot of cars on that piece of BS. Funny old world.
