Just because you don't happen to give a **** when someone messes with your game, you think they're funny? You know what you sound like? Some middle-school **** that laughs at a kid who just got, for instance, his playing cards thrown in the trash can for no reason whatsoever. I don't give a flying **** that if some kid throws your cards in the trash can, you just walk away laughing at how cool that kid is, that he can do **** you can't because he's bigger (bigger = he has hax, in case you're not following the metaphor). It's still not funny. Not.even.close. You think that's funny, okay fine, imagine something you like doing in real life (I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you actually have a life). Now imagine some stranger coming out of nowhere and preventing you from doing it. Would you really laugh it off? I think not. Right now I think you're full of it; acting like these guys are funny as hell and everyone else is too uptight.

1) It was not passing judgement. Everybody's entitled to an opinion. I hold the opinion that CWAG is spammy, arrogant, and pretentious. 2) I am not a moderator. I was not trying to be a moderator.

How does VAC work? Are all games as inherently insecure as counterstrike, but it's just CS's popularity and type of playerbase that marks it as such a hub of cheating, or what?

Eediot, dude, why judge? Who knows what he meant by that original post, he sure as heck was as vague as can be. But even if that is the case, why bother to interpret?
Guys, myg0t has always been about being the "bully" online. There is no "Well if you are affected by them then they are 'winning' " ok. If they can tick off someone they get a thrill from it, and possibly create a flash animation detailing what happened, as they have before. If they can't they go on.
The point is, you have to go and make the effort, when it comes to infested games like this, to find protected communities. We have already seen one posted here, and chances are there will be countless others. But going around pubbing on games like these is a fast way to frustrate yourself.
Perdition, just because you aren't the one taking it up the **** doesn't mean you should sit back and have a good laugh. Perhaps these myg0t guys are fun to hang around that's fine. Just as long as you don't hang around them because you like to play sycophant and laugh at all the people caught in the crossfire because they whined at the wrong time.
Y'know perdition the old 'I know the difference between games and reality' or similar is kinda old and almost always mistaken in it's use as in here;
You play games with real people. The <b>people</b> (not the game here, keep with me) are being jerks. These are <b>real people</b> being <b>real jerks</b>. I don't care if they're doing it in a multiplayer game by cheating, doing it on a beach by kicking people's sandcastles over or doing it in some other way but the jist of the matter is they are doing something with the aim of getting under people's skin. I dunno if you noticed this but that's actually not a nice thing to do and violates the whole... oh I dunno... 'not being a total freaking moron and act like you have a modicum of frigging empathy/understanding' part of civilised life.
Good chances are the jerks online are idiots offline; maybe not in the same way but the mental processes are still firing in the same brain.
Luckily I can draw the line between excuses and living up to responsibility and the impact of actions on others a lot better than you can define games and reality huh? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Geminosity, you aren't as smart, or funny as you think you are.
Hackers and online jerkoffs arent the same way in real life, trust me. I seriously doubt that someone who messes with you in a video game, just to see you scream like an infant, is really going to do that to someone in real life. If a hacker kills me in a video game, oh God, it's really the end of the world. So what if its the same person on and off line, that doesn't mean they are going to act the same on and off of the computer.
I know i'm a completely different person when i'm not at my computer.
I actually laughed at her post, one of the few I've gotten today <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
On the whole cheater debate thingy: Assuming I ever cheated (never have, don't ever plan on it), this would be where I'd get my kicks: I'm screwing with people, and getting them **** off, and they can't touch me (=
