That's one of the things I make sure I keep track of first. However, during one of the most supicious moments, the RED snipers had not been recently sniped (probably due to having to take care of stuff in base/getting respawn killed) and could have been out on the battlements at any moment. However, you completely came out onto the battlements (as opposed to peeking) and disregarded the enemy battlements completely to look down at the front door to headshot a heavy near the waterfront. Had you just nailed a sniper prior and the heavy was just coming out the front door, I would have seen this as an acceptable risk-taking, but you seemed well aware of the heavy who was near the water's edge and didn't hesitate to lock on to him at all.Quote: if you had watched me longer, you'll see that most speedier classes coming out of front door i do not hit, ie medics, scouts, other snipers. I only hit the slower/non jumping players like heavies/soldiers. if i was wall hacking, shouldn't i be hitting all of them equally?
and about scouts running across battlements, i never walk out of hiding and hits a scout without moving my crosshair, i come out of hiding, try to aim, and almost always miss. i don't believe i've ever had a case where i've come out of battlements and hit a scout without so much as a mouse flick to adjust my crosshair.
Yes, this is true, but in the case that I saw, you flicked to adjust to the head practically the exact same millisecond the scout rounded the corner. When you took the shot, he had only partially exposed himself while running full tilt. This, to me, meant that you either knew he was there or you need to lay off the crack, because once you negate lag you basically nailed that scout as soon as the tip of his had appeared.
Quote:about ignoring racket below me, the obvious answer would be that it is much easier to shoot at battlements than it is to shoot at your own front door. I only start shooting my own front door area when one of 2 things happen.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I was referring to the point that you knew where the soldier was on your battlements without any prior interaction from him. There was fighting going on in your front door while you went to go resupply (while running backwards to face the battlements, strangely). When you returned, you immediately threw jarate at the center battlements wall and then rounded the corner to attack the soldier. That event was pretty much the kicker for me and what convinced me.
Again, I admit, it's extremely hard to tell when a good player wallhacks and all my evidence is completely circumstantial. But these small, extraordinary situations just seem like too large of a red flag to me. I'm sorry.
when you were speccing me, did you check also with scoreboard? I do believe in the case you describe, the snipers were not alive, hence why i aimed down to the front. i don't have to necessarily kill a sniper to know he/she is not on the battlements.
for that particular scout shot, was it case of him/her coming out of their spawn or coming into my battlements? i need that info first before i can answer you regarding the scout shot.
either that soldier had killed a friendly on battlements, rocket jumped, shot at me from other battlements, or i see him running down middle. I have never jarated a soldier on battlements that didn't give away his/her presence first by doing one of the above.

used to play with him on #2 server. he was never anything special, especially not to be accused of cheating. and accusations of wallhackers is extremely hard to tell on 2fort, the most predictable map ever, especially when someone checks the scoreboard to see what enemy is dead, aka snipers as he stated above.

With a name like 'speedy', you'd think a reply would come about faster then average.

You're right on the first account. I had not been watching the scoreboard.
The scout in question had not been peeking out or shooting, nor had anyone shot from that side since you had been looking in his direction. You pointed at the battlements, aiming at head level (which is expected), then at practically the same millisecond that the scout appeared, you adjusted your aim to his head and quickly fired. To emphasize the point, if you had done with with no ping I would still be somewhat suspicious, nevermind a split second delay.
As for the soldier, I'm talking about the one just before you got banned. The one who was hiding in the middle. Do you recall how you knew he was there, because I didn't see a cue at all.

speedy i'm not questioning your judgment here, as I'm sure you think he was cheating.
that being said, i can only see this going one of two ways:
1) you ignore this guy and let him be pissed off that he either a) was caught cheating) or b) was wrongfully banned
2) you unban him and then catch a demo of him
as it stands now it's a your word against his situation, and while you have the final word in situations like this it really doesn't look that great to an outsider
it's like sentencing someone to life in prison based on the testimony of a single witness when other people have come forward and said "it wasn't him"
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.
