thank you for that completely patronizing definition of etc, now allow me to post one of my own. derogatory adjective 1. showing a critical or disrespectful attitude. Now I'm not sure about you but I can't think of a single way the names "hitscan dan" or "headshot scott" are in anyway critical or disrespectful. MAYBE if we had both been berating others in chat for not being able to get headshots or aim in general, than this would make a convincing argument. Yet both of us stayed virtually silent, save for my bind spamming for which i apologize it was another joke gone rampant. In the case of friends, is it guilt by association?should you be thought of as a cheater because of a friend who you have no control over cheats? as for the vac bans I have no because I've never cheated. A private profile would make a convincing argument had I not posted my profile as a screenshot and then also publicized it for brief period of time, in which multiple members of this staff looked at it. As I have posted earlier those links go to previous bans, meaning that they were lifted and are no longer in effect, one as recent as this week meaning that someone looked over "evidence" of me cheating and concluded that I was not cheating.

names would never matter in the case of a cheater, unless the name was in someway derogatory, and noone said anything more on my hours played after they saw them. "etc" can mean a lot of things, and I'd like for you to elaborate on the things that made me must suspicious. This logic is essentially "others have thought you did something so you must be doing them" aside from being extremely close-minded its also backed by people who already think I cheat, so of course it would show "truth" to me being a hacker. Its the same thing as googling a very specific phrase during an argument to skew the "facts" in your favor. I posted my past bans as a way to show that others that have been dead sure that I was a cheater have in the end rewatched evidence and then revised their opinions in favor of me. I also don't understand why you seem to be taking me making an appeal for what I feel is a false ban personally.

Calling players who kill you "suspicious" is flawed thinking. This logic is also incredibly flawed considering anyone can name themselves anything, regardless of whether they cheat or not. I personally have seen far more "experienced" players duo in servers with matching names, usually in the form of an injoke, in this case "hitscan dan" and "headshot scott" were both names a friend came up with.

I don't see how the people I play with would matter in this case at all, considering we've both been playing this game for years and neither of us cheat, alsothe whole point of the names is that they rhyme with the videogames mechanics.

key word "suspected" they all had similar "evidence" to what you guys have now, people above them watched and decided I wasn't cheating, and as the people played with me more they also realized I wasn't cheating. There are only a handful of people out of all of those bans who still think i cheat. Bandwagoning is a very powerful thing.

Division: Team Fortress 2 In-Game Name: hitscan dan. Identity: STEAM_0:1:38925575 Ban Type: Server Ban Information: I'm not cheating, there have been several other people in the past who have thought I was cheating, the people who think i cheat on this server won't be the last so all i will do to defend myself is post several other forums and posts where I was accused and acquitted. Bans: Banned for aimbotting. - Suspensions - Fearsome Gaming the reban of bless - Ban Updates - Fearsome Gaming 3rd time's a charm (bless. aimbot ban) - Ban Updates - Fearsome Gaming Bless - Team Fortress 2 | Xeno Gamers http://compactgamers.com/threads/16751/ A cursory search of my steamid, will bring up more past bans and various statistics pages from other DM servers.

Not at all times and in the demo you can clearly see about 4 or 5ish spies in my general area at once so... If you had even bothered to cross reference the steamids and steam profile links then youd see that they match up and that the account banned is the same account shown( I honestly dont understand why this is being brought back up) "suspicious af" yeah? I would like you to specifically point out these suspicious kills and these spy checks that looked so out of place that they confused to the point of calling them fake. I can only guess that you are upset with me killing you because you held enough of a grudge to not only call cheats, but to then spend the rest of the day defending your reasoning behind my supposed "cheats"

I find it funny that you think standing behind someone cloaked is a good place to be if you arent looking to be found. I also am going to need some of these sentences edited because theyre very disjointedly put together and are causing some confusion for me namely this "Because if they were walking in front of you so you wouldn't bump them and get you caught" and this "I wasn't either every single time I killed one of the spies instead of going a different class to possibly combat me they continued to respawn run out of spawn and cloak and dagger and wait for me to either bump/hit them." I think youre trying to point out that changing class against a sniper would be a bad idea, but that logic is horribly flawed within itself because there are classes designed to counter sniper. As for the first sentence I think you were trying to say that the spies walking infront of me and me bumping them wouldnt get me caught. Also i too watched the demo so i now know what the spies were doing. besides admin chat showing that you guys were in fact attempting to "cheater" check me literally one of you dictating to the others on what to do, and the fact that I only got two kills on fully cloaked spies. One was on someone who ran around with a trail that was clearly visible whether or not cloaked, and the second one being on Ghosty who I bumped and then promptly beat to death. The demos continue to prove me right although you keep saying they aren't. The only evidence being brought forth is how obvious it is that im cheating, and the only witnesses are the people accusing me of cheating. Also what sane individual wouldn't push for innocent until proven guilty if they believe they did nothing wrong.

I mean it sounds idiotic when you put it that way yes, but so does denying the fact that playtime and skill level correlate more often then not, and the more someone fights with spies the more they can anticipate a spies actions, with a little bit of lucky timing of course. And you can also not deny the fact that more than 4 people purposefully went spy and then cloaked around me in attempt to get me to find them to fuel the "hackusation"

Of course the people that already think I'm cheating think the evidence is sufficient enough to keep me banned, that is literally why they are here in the first place. They didn't post to root for the underdog. I mean it is by all definition a competition, killing people with the soul purpose to win over them is a competition. Its what tf2 is all about. The only legitimate concern there was at first was the fact that I don't run hats and I have a private profile. If I had a hales own sniper rifle (with cloaked spy shots counted) and a bubbling team captain noone would bat an eyelash at me shooting them because I would look the part. The only convenient answer here is that noone has even tried to play devils advocate as to how I might not be cheating.The general consensus seems to be I'm a cheater, although the evidence of such is anecdotal at best, with one shifty spy kill at the very end.

I wasn't either every single time I killed one of the spies instead of going a different class to possibly combat me they continued to respawn run out of spawn and cloak and dagger and wait for me to either bump/hit them. Actively moving infront of me increasing the likelihood that i would find them, or just cloak spamming to distract me away from other spies.

seems to be an overwhelming amount of bandwagoning towards guilty until proven innocent

This is literally just denial if ive ever seen it you clearly flashed after I bumped into you please feel free to watch the end of the second demo once again. Besides just disproving w/e spooks was on about her not being bumped, bumping into one spy without meaning too does not a hacker make, so far the only thing I can legitimately call even remotely suspect is the final kill on spooks, everything else is me spy checking the contained area with spies that had been continuously respawning and coming back to the same area. I would give you guys the win if I had specifically walked into areas with invis spies and then bumped into them. But there is no such evidence because there was nothing there in the first place besides a batch of people who do not like to lose.

"You may think people here are dumb but I assure you we know the difference between tracking spies and knowing where a full invis spy is" I mean if you like lying to yourself I guess there is a difference, considering the fact that I i bumped into you and its proven by you flashing on the demo that you tried to use as evidence.

If I am spamming with smg and they flash thats their fault, im firing because I know there are spies and I know by footsteps and voicelines that they are around me.

but I did bump him, hes talking about the time up until I bumped him and the reasoning as to why I bumped him, I have not headshot or randomly swung and hit a completely invisible spy, they always do something that gets them flashed, giving their position away.

if you are standing around a sniper who is actively moving and you get bumped and then found that's bad spy play. by the logic of "I can't think of ways it isn't hacking, so therefore its only hacking" Everyone who gets kills on cloaked spies is cheating, even though there are very well known methods to keep track of spies who don't play well.

everything in this post is "bland" and "can be said by anyone" its general statements like that that get nothing done and no evidence scrutinized. Constant posts about how it has to be cheats, and there is no possible way that it could be as previously described. I see no hard evidence of cheating, but I saw and still see a lot of jumping to conclusions based off of minimal evidence. There was no aimbot, the spy kills can be attributed to bad spy play, and all of my other kills as well as the misses seem to be a complete nonissue.

You can't claim guilt over one thing just because it happened to you. Timing is very important in games like these, when to fire shots, when you move, when to look behind you, if any of your timing is off you die. There is little to no evidence of cheating I've explained all my kills expect for the final one of the second demo. My hours correlate to my skill level ive been playing this game and others for years, you gain a sense when you are in situations over and over again.

I didnt pull any cliches, I explained how I got some of my spy kills. the rest is explained in previous posts.

Just finished watching the demos and I found 3 questionable kills one was the kill I got one a cloaked spy because he was standing directly behind me and as I started going forward instead of breaking off to a different direction, he kept backpedaling knowing fullwell that I am faster than a backpedaling spy, and I know that thats why you constantly see me changing directions and overall 360 scanning, most of my deaths come from me stopping the 360 scan to focus on one or more enemies. This needs to be said right now because I think its unclear to the spies who play tf2, you dont stand behind a sniper full cloaked, because the likely hood of that same sniper moving abruptly and bumping you increases exponentially. As for the final melee kill in the second demo, even I cant deny how shady it looked, Me bumping into that spy was rather unfortunate circumstance, the slight turn of the mouse, and overall shift towards the spy can't be attributed to anything but pure luck. And to prove that Im legit im more than willing to post a video of a recoding in a diffferent trade server. the map wont be the same but there wont be the horrible latency that comes with recording demos over spectator mode, half the time my crosshair was 8 miles behind the player.
