In the light of the current debate around cheating (read the on  dug's wallhack demo) someone approached me on IRC asking if he could write a column about the topic, where he would go a little in depth around cheating and suspicious players in the European q2 scene.
I know it's a little fishy posting columns as an anonymous, so if this turns into just another flamewar I'll remove it. But it's a hot topic, and surely some debate around the issue is needed.
Cheating has been a hot subject in todays quakescene. I haven't personally paid much intrest in cheating and what's going on in there, but now that few players have been caught I can't help think to myself "there might be more cheaters". This column is not to start blaming each other but to make conversation about current situation and what could we do about it. I give you few examples of players that have been caught cheating and few that are suspicious in my mind. A few words about me before i give you some names so that you would understand where I come from: I have played the game since 1998 and I have been on "top" ever since I started. I have tried aimbot once back in the days. Those facts been told, I might not be the best guy to suspect other players and give examples, because I simply don't know how those cheats work. For example what can you see with a wallhack and what not etc. One thing that I do have is experience about players. It's just not possible to start this old game and become good in few months. Everytime that has happened, there has been either cheats involved or former nick. Other thing is that old players just can't get a sudden skillboost without doing something illegal.
Anyway, lets get down to those players who have been caught cheating.
Duugh:
Caught cheating with a wallhack. Duugh says he only tried it for 2-3 games, but I have heard that there are more demos coming from him, where the wh is even more obvious. It remains to see if those other demos ever come out and what will happen in this case. Putka from clan plus is one intresting part of this: He tries to cover up duugh, but it's too obvious what he is doing and that way it brings up a certain question why? Are there more cheaters in clan plus?
Extreme:
Well I will not get into this. More info here:
Ricky:
Caught cheating with a wallhack in league games. This happened like 3 years ago? I think ricky has suffered his penalty for being stupid, but you never know. Once a cheater, always a cheater?
Avider/Geromy/Gerppa:
Caught cheating with a wallhack. This Finnish guy got famous by beating Purri in EDL-game. Map was rdm2. I think this guy used his wh for about half an year and became quite a good dueler with it.
He had like one year break from Quake, but is now back in action and this time without wallhack...Or at least that's what you could think about his scores ;)
Well, there's few examples that I can remember. Now to the suspicious ones:
Hirzu:
Has played for a long time, but not really been that good. I mean it doesn't really say much if youre good in Estonia playing on coolhot servers. Now he has joined clan play and is the best one of them? How is that possible? Maybe he got a better connection and played more than before? Hard to say, but to me he is suspicious. Maybe I just dont know the guy well enough and he actually was and is good.
Thuggee:
Same as hirzu, but in smaller aspect. This guy seems to play very good sometimes and then other times it seems like he has never even seen quake. Hard to say what's that all about.
Aone/Insert/Roma:
Hits very good with railgun, sometimes even too good. Tho this just might be a classic example of changing name a lot.
Is it a coincidence that all the suspicious players are from Estonia? I dunno, but give your own thoughts about current situation and what could we do to improve it.
