Just wanted to add my 2 cents here.
First of all, you said " since it's nothing really new". This is exactly the point. It happens every single time, the admins go too soft or fail to finish the job and ban everyone who cheats and then the circle continues. This of course leaves 2 options for the minority - the non-cheating part of the community. Those 2 options are a) rage/whine/ ; b) cheat like most others do.
This community is rather small and tightly packed , it has the right to be angry at certain players or clans that ruin the very concept of what was supposed to be chadz's dreamgame Strategus. Especially when these same things happen all over and over again and again. Let the community speak out , i think it's only fair.
P.S. note that i don't give two flying %*@#%@#% about strat and neither does my clan ,personally i believe it was a great concept on paper and round 1 was quite fun, but by the end of the day i think Strat ruins and takes away from the competitive part of cRPG. I can respect the fact that some people still enjoy playing it though.
P.P.S. what's written above of course is my personal opinion on the matter and has nothing to do with the cRPG admin team.
You are definitely right there, and that's what the second part of my past was for. All the outrage doesn't help, tey don't give a fuck and keep on doing their shit. That's why I think there is little point in flaming, as the only use is making yourself feel better for the price of further poisoning the atmosphere in the community. If you have too many witchhunts, and if people are always free to say whatever opinion they have about someone without the basic rule of tring to stay kind as much as possible, we will soon turn the forum to some kind of flamewar-platform.
We, the community, have only the tool of despise to punish people. We can choose to not like them and to stay away from them, to enforce some moral rules. Everything which goes further is a matter for the devs. Apparently they are trying to do the job, but for some reason (I can't judge it) they seem to fail, at least partially. I think it's up to them to find solutions, either better monitoring systems or some kind of system where many players in a faction don't grant any advantages, except in fights, where every player can only control one key at a time anyway. Something like that.
My point is: if you keep on flaming, what will change? The attitude of the Grey Order? Bitch, please! The atmosphere in the community/forum? Could be. If it's okay to flame the Greys for their multiple keys, it will also be okay to flame other people for other misdeeds, until we reach a level where we will plaster the forum with flame threads about how the kapikulus teamkill all the way long.
My personal (!) way to go through life is to try to always stay nice. If the Greys cheat in any way, remove them, but be nice while you press the ban button. You are always what you do. Don't be a flamer.
