Lifetime Rating for Whoop: 6.9130 |  | Well folks I thought long and hard about this before posting it. Map hacking IMO is worse than anything you can do. Acting like a lamer isnt great. Spamming is bad too. Map hacking though is low. It is without honor. It is without integrety and basically I have lost any respect I once had for this person.
I will tell you now that I am positive this person hacks. Below I will list the evidence I witnessed and let you decide for yourself.
We were beginning to suspect something was up with the play of this person. He has always been a good player but lately has become much better. He seemed to have ungodly recon. As Ahscar put it, "...he dont make a lot of units he just never looses any."
To test whether or not he was hacking we created a game on dire and had 3 observers. Closely watching his everymove, there were several cases that seemed like hacking.
EVIDENCE FILE
Expansion killing 101 - On dire its incredibly important to kill expansions before they get going. Small islands are quite easy to defend. Myself and 2 other observers watched the hacker drop and kill 3 expansions before they were heavily defended. This is quite possible to do if you have observers patrolling the map. However the hacker DIDNT EVEN HAVE 1 OBSERVER. Its even possible to send out shuttles to look at islands and see whats cooking. However the hacker NEVER did this except to kill the expansions. Not only that but he dropped EXACTLY in the right spot to avoid any defense that was in place. Once maybe a fluke. 2 times its possible I guess. 3 times and its a hacker.
Defensive shuttles - When ever the opposing player would load up a lot of units for a drop mr hacker would have his troops in JUST the right spot. Again this is possible with good recon. Mr Hacker had NONE. He managed to stop all drops by being in the right place at the right time with his reavers whether it was at his expansion or merely on the correct side of his main.
Shuttle dance - Many of you who are like myself and can't believe one of US would be a cheater, I present the most compelling evidence of all. I played mr hacker myself on dire with 2 observers. I told them my suspicions. They of course were skeptical even though they knew I wouldnt randomly accuse people of such horrid things. I left my expansions basically naked so he could drop them which he did with no recon. 3 times he did this. I asked the observers if they were convinced they were only about 50-60%. One of them had a GREAT idea. They shared vision with me so now I had god vision too. I loaded up 4 shuttles with goons and headed to his base. He had 3 shuttles of reavers and dt which he mysteriously loaded after I loaded up mine. Half way to his base I change course 90 degrees and head for his expansion across the map which had only 2 cannons for d. Magically his shuttles started heading for the expo. Half way there I veer my shuttles 180 degrees BACK towards his main and he TURNS HIS SHUTTLES AROUND TOO!!! Laughing to myself I change course yet again and head for his expo. Guess what he does? yup thats right he mirrors my shuttles movements with his own. Guess how many observers he has? Yup thats right he has none. I turn around one more time and he mirrors me again. At this point I alomst fall out of my chair I am laughing so hard. The observers were also in shock and laughing too. I mean this was some funny shit to watch. This left us with no possible explination but hacking. Can you imagine how Johnny Cochran would defend mr Hacker?
"You see my client is a litte crazy. Sometimes he just doesnt know where he wants his reavers at. So he loaded them up to go to his expo on a hunch. However one of the reavers forgot his sweater so we had to turn around and go back to base. But half way there we discovered that he had his sweater so we turned around and went back to the expo. The pilot of the shuttle lost his bearings and thought we was goin east not west so we turned around again. But then he looked at the compass and saw that he was goin the wrong way and and finally went to the expo. When we got there we were suprised to see enemy shuttles arriving. DAMN we got here just in time thank goodness we found the sweater!"
LADDER ABUSE
In related news we looked up their ladder account on kantons. Seems he has been playing himself. This of course is unrelated to hacking but still it sucks.
IDENTITY OF HACKER
Well you've all been wanting to know I'm sure who this A-hole is. I have great respect for Ahscar as a player and a person. He has always been really cool. In respect for Ahscar I will not tell you who the hacker is. To quote Ahscar, "I dont want to publicly humiliate this person".
No dipshits its NOT ahscar. Im saying ahscar didnt want me to say anything so im not telling you who it is. I just wanted the hacker to know that I know who he is and what he has been doing.
Whoops message to the hacker
You should stop it right now and never do that shit again. A few people know and they have said they wont say nothin for now. Abuse again and we will tell everyone. You are a good player and dont need to hack. You can ladder abuse all you want I dont care but if you are gonna play in nohunters as a regular you BETTER NOT CHEAT.
