Re: OT: Cheaters
[soapbox mode]
I agree with Sachmo...there are many reasons why people cheat. I can understand it to an extent, for SOLO play. For example, I have a friend who used to just use cheat codes for his games, and I didn't understand why he didn't want the challenge. It wasn't until my life became too busy with a full-time job and two part-time jobs that I realized that he wanted the -experience- without putting in the time, of which he had none. Again, this is for SOLO play.
I absolutely abhor cheaters when it comes to playing other people. It's one thing to inflate your own ego, but not at the expense of others. I play on-line all the time with the FPS Team Fortress Classic, and cheaters pop-up frequently. I'm a pretty decent player, and my main trouble comes when I do a decent job suppressing (clan) players; if I do too well, I am accused of cheating. With the sensitivity of server admins of late, they automatically listen to every plebe who accuses a more skilled player of cheating.
*sigh* I remember a time before all this cheating when skill meant something.
