Yeah, and I responded to your complaint like any fair player would:

[4/10/2010 9:08:10 PM] Corey: It became pointless to play after you started laming
[4/10/2010 9:08:20 PM] Corey: lost it's fun
[4/10/2010 9:08:21 PM] Jennie: they recently moved the REAL doorblocker place where you had to get staff to move the person (in the water)
[4/10/2010 9:08:57 PM] Jennie: ok
[4/10/2010 9:08:59 PM] Jennie: Im sorry
[4/10/2010 9:09:09 PM] Jennie: I won't block there anymore

THROW 'EM IN THE BRIG, THOSE BASTARDS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!

...does the word "quarantine" ring a bell?

It doesn't matter why someone is causing damage or hurting other people or being a public nuisance. What matters is that it has to be stopped, and this is true both online and irl. Sorry unintentional laggers, I feel bad that you can't help it, but you make up less than 3% of the playerbase at any given time, and you're ruining the game for potentially 97% of the players (although based on Chakrah's screencap and video, it's become clear that while his lag may be unintentional, his use of that lag to ruin the game for others is more than intentional).

this is where i'm going to settle this.

i made that video to show you what exactly i have to do to spar with my handicap. in NO way whatsoever, did i make this video to gloat that im abusing my lag to win.

Ruining the game for others using lag? No.

Harassing players, and flaming them? Yes.

This whole thread deserves about 100 boxes of tissues because all you're doing is ****ing crying.

Your attitude toward complaints is horrendous, Chakrah. You're only proving my point further by acting like such a jerk about your lag. You've also just stated that making other players miserable is a personal goal of yours. I don't see what would stop you from using your lag fulfill this goal. Even if you don't abuse your lag now (and believing that would take a huge stretch of the imagination after all the evidence I--and you--have put forth in this thread), there is nothing stopping you from abusing it in a moment of anger or bitterness, then continuing to act like you are doing nothing wrong.

You are probably one of the worst laggers I've ever seen--and I'm not talking about the extent of lagging you do. You're just a huge jerk about it.

There's nothing stopping me from getting hacks and hacking on Graal, either. There's nothing stopping me from getting one of my friends to do me a favor and hack Graal to delete files. Your arguments are so flimsy, Door. And who cares if he's a jerk about his lag? Everybody on Graal is a jerk about something. Let's ban 98% of BTK from sparring because they're jerks about it. They're better at sparring than me, so god dammit, they have an unfair edge! I demand this be stopped, because I want easier sparring targets!

IT'S CHEATING!

What's stopping you is that there is a rule against it, and you can and will be punished for doing it. Laggers are openly allowed to continue.

Pandar, you have a terrible attitude about it too, and you need to cool your temper. Lagging is unfair because it essentially applies a huge handicap advantage onto whomever is using it. Once again, shall I direct you Chakrah's video? He shows us that utilizing his lag is a matter of taking a few steps and using spin attack.

I don't complain because I think he's better than most people at events, Castle Wars, and sparring. I complain because I know he's not.

Yet he still wins all the time solely due to his lag.
