All you have to do is aim and press and you pounce.Isn't it same as without an aimbot?
I use to play without hacks but after trying them out i am addicted. it helps when you are on the AA server.
The Aimbot and wall hack feature are pretty good except many players already have these so you are essentially left out if you dont use it.
I think there are a lot of hacks in this game and that is why it is dying.
what's your point? That you're part of the problem?i think what he is saying is that aimbots and wallhacks should be built into trem by default, and that by doing so, the game will magically revive.
How exactly is using an aimbot addictive? Sounds extremely boring to me.a PROPER(TM) person feels the excitement in accomplishing things, pwning others, and showing off. this explains hacking (breaking into computer systems), as well as aimbotting, flooding, etc..
How did you come to the conclusion that many players are using cheats?irrelevant; the statement is true with an applicable definition of many (and WRONG with some other).
i think what he is saying is that aimbots and wallhacks should be built into trem by default, and that by doing so, the game will magically revive.that would shift the required skills to something different, creating a DIFFERENT(TM) game. what's required is proper balance (currently, aimbots pwn the shit out of aliens). this sounds interesting.
I think there are a lot of hacks in this game and that is why it is dying. There is this hack calledTranslation: I suck at Tremulous and get killed way too often. It must be because other people use aimbots and other cheats, not my own ineptitude! Therefore, I'm going to install an aimbot too. But wait, I was banned from the AA server. Looks like I'll go post tremulous.net :( See also: Dunning-Kruger effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect)funlilywhich is easy to set up and it allows an alien to kill at a much larger radius. Also the intricate pounce feature of the goons are much better with its bind where all you have to do is press one button and yo automatically pounce. All you have to do is aim and press and you pounce.
The Aimbot and wall hack feature are pretty good except many players already have these so you are essentially left out if you dont use it. Except when new players come in they have no clue. with this hack you can shoot a dretch behind you. Of if there is an alien behind a wall you can just shoot and the alien will take hits. Also if you are an alien you wont need to get as close to the human to kill him. I use to play without hacks but after trying them out i am addicted. it helps when you are on the AA server.

cheating against cheats is like rolling dice and that to consider it 'pwning others' is self-delusion.cheating against cheats is irrelevant. cheating against want-to-play-fair players is generally pwnage, as your statement shows:
any sense of accomplishment that such people feel is everything to do with provoking people and causing a nuisance.exactly. this is fully consistent with trolling.
Note that this has nothing to do with the people who make aimbots.yes it does: it's an accomplishment to play in a way that makes it difficult for others to determine that you're aimbotting.
WRONG.irrelevant; the statement is true with an applicable definition of many (and WRONG with some other).You will come across the occasional aimbotter but to suggest that they are 'many' is a serious misstatement, if he did intend such a soft usage of the word.

intricate copypase procedure
Last time I played AA, it had aliens melee attacks ranges fucked up.I got banned for chomping a guy 'through a wall' in one hit that didn't have a helmet and thinking of my ping on that server, he was probably really far away. The guy who i chomped happened to be the server owner. I reconnected, explained how light armour does not protect the head, i got a mute and spammed 'ta guele' (i think it means 'you cheat', he was speaking half english half french)
No aimbot will let you magically shoot things behind walls. That's what unlagged does :)

Anyways, that discussion takes forever, when there are different opinions worldwide. Like this one, opinion as an IT security. (http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/hacker-vs-cracker/1400)a blog does not count as a reference. this is why i used the jargon file, and not one of the countless blogs on the subject.
Your quote-tower trolling reminds me of two dogs fighting over a piece of poo."hacker" can mean anything from "hobbyist" (any kind of hobby, not just code) to a butcher... but those are venues not under discussion. here we are talking about the culture that emerged in programmers from the early days at large universities, which then grew to be a much larger "movement".
In programming, a hack is a quick, ad-hoc solution that doesn't look nice but works.
"I hacked it together" -> "I mashed it together". Equating hacking to programming is rather undignified: coders don't call themselves hackers.
breaking security, network intrusion, etc is cracking. you can use a hack to crack, but that does not necessarily mean that the hack IS a crack.performing, with cars, first-to-finish matches, time trials, etc. is racing. you can use an everyday car for a race, but that doesn't mean that the car is a sports/race car. in other words:
an analog, i can stab someone with a screwdriver, this does not make the screwdriver a knife.
yuo ideot! tahts not a car, thats a sprots/race car!
thus does dev/HC perpetuate the media's misconception of what a "hacker" is.WRONG.
you are WRONGWRONG.
DISCATEGORIZE
WRONG. congratulations on joining the fray.WRONGer evenyou are WRONGWRONG.
dev/HumanController, what is WRONG is your endless trial of flaming him over and overWRONG (you forgot (TM)).
you are in the WRONG place for trolling.WRONG. and you'd be WRONG even if the above statement were true: i (magically) know that you think that i am trolling; that thought is WRONG. (RAK is trolling somewhat, though.)
Do you exactly know what reminiscences the word WRONG has?!?that depends on the person reading the word, but for example: Lex Luthor SPARTA remix videos.
Do you need yet another explanation?(for what?) first, state the thing that is to be explained. then, cite the first explanation. and then, yes, provide another explanation.
MANIPULATING THE QUOTE in a noticeably selfish way.i hope you're talking about RAK's actions. otherwise: what the cockfuck are you talking about?
This would be an endless "WRONG" chain, resulting from the inability to accept that we may be wrong (especially you, evidence is given, as you discredited rakninja in a rough way only because he *suggested* you that you could be wrong.)WRONG. congratulations on joining the fray.WRONGer evenyou are WRONGWRONG.

you discredited rakninja in a rough way only because he *suggested* you that you could be wrong.WRONG. i said he is WRONG because he was WRONGly suggesting that i'm WRONG. was my strict quoting insufficient to make that clear? (but i have the rights to even say WRONG if he tells me that i'm WRONG on a whim (i'll also reply on a whim).)
that is actually arguable. from the administration's point of view, trolling has always been allowed: there is a large collection of trollages (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php) here. from the simple user's point of view, trolls may be unpreferred (or "not welcome"), but that has minimal relevance.This IS not wrong. Trolls are not welcome here.you are in the WRONG place for trolling.WRONG.
and hope you don't neither burn yourself nor get banhammered, both of which are very possibleORLY (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3950;sa=showPosts).
And, go flaming Ingar if you are in need.you could have suggested Chamooze instead: both are equally irrelevant.

dev/HC, see rule 6, criticism must be constructive. "you are fucking retarded" is flaming, and is a violation of the rules as is your page-stretching quotespam. especially considering you quote my post twice.
"posting unintelligible crap" is not a violation of the rules. excessive quoting is. i'll not risk another ban, thank you.
"retarded interpretations of your statements" is the fault of you, the poster, who failed to post his meaning correctly. spend less time attempting to look smart, and more on making sure your post cannot be misinterpreted. furthermore, your sarcasm detector gave you a false positive. you have consistently failed to correctly interpret the mixed metaphor, and i suspect the reason is that doing so would force you to concede that you were (and remain) incorrect. finally, you failed to interpret my post. i said "you do not understand mixed metaphors", not "you incorrectly use mixed metaphors". please refrain from twisting my words to suit your purpose.
"rarely used" - still personal bias. i hear the term fairly often in my region.
"full explanation" - i am coding a game. i can say "i hacked together a save function". were i a better programmer than i currently am, i could call myself a "hacker". i am not coding network or system intrusion software, nor am i using it. it would be incorrect to say "i cracked a save function" or call myself a cracker. to extend the car analogy: i drive a station wagon. i do not drive a race car (would you prefer the term "stock car"?), i can not call myself a "race car driver".
"misinterpreting" - i think you are, in order to not admit that you are wrong.
"rules 4 and 6" - no emotional response is being sought. long posts are not against any rule, but your flaming is, which i mentioned previously.
in closing, i am only trying to help you. you seem to want to be part of the "hacker community". it would do you good to not perpetuate the media stereotype that hacking = cracking. a crack is indeed a hack, but a hack is normally not a crack.
"you are fucking retarded" is flaming, and is a violation of the rules as is your page-stretching quotespam.WRONG. flaming is allowed, especially when it's surrounded by explanations. also, my quoting is extremely proper (double quoting aside): i quote the relevant information required to give proper meaning to the replies. less quoting is trolling.
it is.Quote from: ~/dev/humancontrollerdev/HC, see rule 6, criticism must be constructive.Quote from: ~RAKninja-Decepticon<WRONGness>WRONG. <explanation>
WRONG. your unintelligible and full-of-shit posts directly serve the purpose of provoking emotional responses, ie., you're trolling, as you have previously already admitted; and trolling is against the rules."rules 4 and 6" - no emotional response is being sought. long posts are not against any rule, but your flaming is, which i mentioned previously.i refer you to rules 4 (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?action=globalAnnouncements;id=2#post_four) and 6.

especially considering you quote my post twice.double quoting may be excessive, but it is an attempt to presuade you into applying proper quoting yourself, thus increasing the properness of these discussions.
"retarded interpretations of your statements" is the fault of you, the poster, who failed to post his meaning correctly. spend less time attempting to look smart, and more on making sure your post cannot be misinterpreted.retarded interpretations of my statements is the fault of a combination of me and the reader (ie., you). making my posts less misinterpretable would clear up the meaning for 0.1% of the people (eg., you), at the expense of just bloating the text for the other 99.9%.
your sarcasm detector gave you a false positive.WRONG. i had no sarcasm detector.
you have consistently failed to correctly interpret the mixed metaphorWRONG. the mixed metaphor? i repeat: there were no mixed metaphors used.
WRONG. without a doubt, you are trying to find your way out of the mixed metaphor failure that you've performed.you failed to interpret my post. i said "you do not understand mixed metaphors", not "you incorrectly use mixed metaphors".you are fucking retarded. i first thought that you said that i don't understand mixed metaphors because you used one in a sarcastic fashion, requiring me to have a sarcasm detector at hand. fact: i did not use any mixed metaphors1. now, it is not only shown that mixed metaphors are irrelevant, but also that you don't understand them, and that you're WRONG.relevant, you are using a mixed metaphor. as you do not understand how they work, it goes firmly with the topic at hand.you do not understand mixed metaphors.irrelevant and, generally speaking, WRONG.
that is correct, and does not conflict with what i said.formally, if X = {acts of cracking} and Y = {acts of hacking}, then X ⊆ Y. similarly, if X = {sports cars} and Y = {cars}, then X ⊆ Y. in both cases, for any x ∈ X, it is true that x is an act of hacking or a car (depending on the case), but also that x is an act of cracking or a sports car. many people say "x is an act of hacking", and only a few say "x is an act of cracking", however, almost everyone says that "x is car", and almost noone says that "x is a sportscar" (all of the 4 statement templates are correct).i am coding a game. i can say "i hacked together a save function". were i a better programmer than i currently am, i could call myself a "hacker". i am not coding network or system intrusion software, nor am i using it. it would be incorrect to say "i cracked a save function" or call myself a cracker. to extend the car analogy: i drive a station wagon. i do not drive a race car (would you prefer the term "stock car"?), i can not call myself a "race car driver".
WRONG. in fact, what follows is your agreement with what i've been saying all the long:i think you are, in order to not admit that you are wrong.you, and "someone else" are not valid sources of information on the topic. the jargon file is.WRONG. and you are misinterpreting the jargon file.
a crack is indeed a hack
it would do you good to not perpetuate the media stereotype that hacking = cracking.and it is good that i'm not doing so.
