Cmpx & Harald - Cheating sanctioned in Strategus both this one and next one

[CALAMARI]

Kesh should just part with the $30 - $100 to bring these guys to small claims court; Just to waste their time as they have wasted his.

[Lt_Anders]

EU, doesn't work like that.

I was also about to say that item bomb wasn't illegal(I thought) and then I fully saw the last rule: #5: No Item Bombing. Not sure why it wasn't enforced except for GO/DRZ MAing and the SUPER BLATANT Fallen lockdown tactic.

[StonedSteel]

I'm absolutely stunned that this is the response by the only administrator who could punish this sort of cheating. Regardless of your opinions of Kesh and his shit-posting, KbW broke the rules by item-bombing Kesh's fief, and so far the only person to receive punishment was Kesh on the forums. Between this and the developer's general lack of care for editing textures, aim assist, wallhacks, etc., I am astonished that such a team of talented developers could treat their community so poorly.

no you aint.

Apparently their memory needs refreshing.

I agree with you about kesh. But you have not a leg to stand on because you have never even so much as appeared to give a shit about this strat and the people that play it.

If you as developers are going to keep half-assing strat I'd rather you not put a new one up at all.

The term scapegoat is extremely applicable here.

Do also note that this is coming from someone who has decided to have nothing more to do with this community, it is literally a cancer upon what was, and should have stayed, the best mod ever made for a game.

[chadz]

cmp never had anything to do with strat development.

If the cRPG team will once again endow me with the powers of admin, which I lost for permabanning Kesh, my first new act as admin will be to permaban Kesh.

So after asking for enforcement of blatant item bombing that many of the NA admins inputted as "definitely" getting a permaban - cmpx and harald refuse to even look at the matter.  Their responses were as follows:

Cmpx has this to say about himself with regard to whether he wanted to enforce any rules, prevent cheating, or if he cared at all about doing anything to maintain strategus:I believe this may be his mother - if you see her in the streets please tell her son to get back into the basement and show that Melee:Battlegrounds won't be a piece of shit unenforced cheating haven.

Harald remained in silent support of cmpx with regard to this and especially future strategus.  More focused on patching and completely ignoring strategus.


So here are the new rules of strategus:
Caveat - some nosy minion admins may ban you from the server  (fucking plebs, actually giving a shit about a mod they didn't even make):

Use of siege equipment:

          1) Ladders
                    1.1) Floating ladders. You are not allowed to stay on floating ladders. If for some reason your ladder becomes floating, you are to get off it, even if it means suicide.
                    1.2) Ladderplacement. For now there are no rules on unrealistic ladders, so they are allowed. (as long as you keep the other rules in mind)
                    1.3) Siege-equipment on ladders is not allowed. This includes using siege shields, other ladders and everything you can make with a construction-site.
                    1.4) Ladders in open battles (anti cav) are allowed as long as the ladder is legit according to rule 1.2.
                    1.5) Cavalry is allowed to use ladders.
          2) Forward spawn
                    2.1) Spawning at enemy forward spawn is allowed. This means you are allowed to set your spawn at any forward spawn on the map, no matter who build it.
          3) Siege towers
                    3.1) Using ladders from siegetowers is allowed.
                              3.1.1 Using skyladders that are the result of a moved siegetower is not allowed.
                    3.2) Using siege shields on siegetowers is allowed
          4) Covering flags
                    4.1) covering flags with any equipment is not allowed. This includes ladders, siege shields, construction sites and anything you can produce with a construction site.

Battle/ siege
          1) Prolonging a battle
                    1.1) End battle, common sense rule. Feel free to troll around when the battle is over, but don't extend it too long, crpg no delaying rules *don't* applies here.
                    1.2) If the attacker is out of siege equipment, and no longer has any way of getting into the castle or town, he has to retreat *initiate a dance-off*("getting into the castle" means getting in the defender spawn zone. If defenders are in a place that cannot be reached from their spawns without siege equipment, they will have to come down).
          2) Spawnraping
                    2.1) Spawnraping the enemy is allowed. It's your teams responsibility to defend your flags, if you lose controle over an area you might get spawnkilled.

Strat map
          1) CMP's rules for not attacking your village to delay your enemy
          2) Multiaccounting. It is not allowed to own and use multiple more then 1 account on strategus.
          3) Accountsharing. It is not allowed to log into other players accounts.
          4) Night time. Night time is different for each player, therefore there are no rules to the usage of nighttime.
          5) Itembombing a fief. Dropping a lot of items in an enemy fief is not allowed. It causes incredibly *amusing* long equipment lists for the fief.

P.S.  Grey Order and DRZ - you guys finally even beat the devs in a war of attrition over Strategus.  Let the multi-accounting sperg commence!

What did you smoke today, kesh?


and its not like Grey and DRZ are already multiaccounting ehe

[BlindGuy]

Me reading title "Re: Cmpx & Harald - Cheating sanctioned..."    Dis gon be gud

Elaborate. Our castle had so much garbage in it. Are you saying no item bomb happened at all? Or are you letting personal opinions of one player change the way you moderate the rules?

[Bronto]

From what I've gathered following all of the threads kesh has made in the past week or so, there's been a few, they are just sick of going on these wild goose chases and wasting their own time looking up all the shit he's accused everyone of doing. First it was Aldog multiaccounting, then it was something else, now this (maybe just aldog and this, not sure, don't give two shits either way).

Whenever he posts though I always think:

I'm not in charge of restoring characters, returning heirlooms or providing Strategus support.

You could be right. However that does not excuse the fact that the item bomb happened and should be looked into. When the devs can decide how to police the game by their personal opinions of one group over the other what is the point in playing?

If I had posted that ban stuff instead of Kesh would it have been looked into already? I have never requested a ban before? Is this seriously how we want things to work?
