I think whip bombs could be insane, it's sort of hard to tell because historically highlander soldiers are not exactly jump savants and you're playing into the iron wall (pyro/heavy/scout/engineer, pyro here being the worst). But it wouldn't surprise me if invite soldiers make it totally busted. The walk speed increase is like 40% which is actually pretty nuts but I'm not sure how that translates into rj speed, maybe the jump nerds know.

official rip to prec, you had a good run

Playing this game has only damaged my relationships with women and I wouldn't want it any other way

if i get picked by exile can i suddenly go mia

also damn sniper is STACKED

NGL might be 900 iq play to derail the thread though, usually b4nny deploys a schizo to do so but the pedophile gambit is one step up

The best way to do this that's in your power is for you to completely detach yourself from the game

u have brain damage

do not watch the clip at approximately 1 minute on cp_steel

wait ur not deimos

Eh tbf to exa they (or other staff) most of the time do post important stuff on here, especially 6s related stuff (lan announcements, rgl pugs, etc.). This post just happened to be wrapped into their monthly minor rules updates/bans stuff which like 99% of the time is just very minor rule updates or amateur highlander players getting banned for cheating or alting or some shit. I agree that they probably underestimated how important it would be viewed but I don't think at least on this front it's a consistent thing, I think they just (rightfully) assessed that tftv doesn't care about 99% of rgl updates.

That being said tftv is pretty dead as well so it's not like a monthly RGL announcements thread, minor or not, would really clog things up if that's the concern so I support mirroring things as a general principle.

Off topic but if you're like me and read the rgl mission statement recently you would've also had a fucking stroke (notice how there's literally nothing in there about fostering the top level of competition LOL).

This occurs already in etf2l where (iirc) their standard is similar to RGL. I trust etf2l AC team more than RGL because the people there (quintosh & co.) are extremely experienced, but recently there's been bans that a vocal subset of people are very upset about, dafuqwizat & jeven off the top of my head. Just look at this thread. So really at the end of the day if you're liked by at least some group of people + not blatantly cheating there's always gonna be people who make a fuss of things, regardless of the purported standards you uphold.

For the first part about destroying reputations, idk have prior cheaters even had trouble finding new teams? I honestly can't think of a single example; it's tf2, people just hang out with their own circlejerks anyway. I think it just boils down to the same point I made above, if people like you I think you'd be good either way.

Obviously throwing away all standards to the wind is a bad idea but at the current standard I just don't trust the AC team to actually catch a cheater that is even a little less-than-blatant without them ruining like idk 2-3 seasons max.

These interviews were great, I remember before even touching 6s at all just having faces to an alias really makes the community seem much more real. Another dumb video is also grape's s17 arm wrestling tourny that I remember watching a ton. The banter is great and having personalities on display does a lot for the game imo, just look at the FGC for an example of that.

Formal interviews are a lot of work so I just wanted to add to the idea that even short casual stuff has a lot of merit. Long form, structured interviews are better for getting more insightful thoughts from players and generating mid-season/pre-playoffs hype.

Although maybe the arm wrestling itself shouldn't return I don't trust any of you, think we already had one bad incident.

My new theory is that rgl admins (higher order beings, possibly celestial in nature) don't view time in the same way as us lower lifeforms (beings of flesh and blood). This explains retroactively punishing young sanity but not proactively banning cheaters. Can any physicists corroborate my claim? Personally I see no possible alternative.

I believe the stated reason they make it non perma is to allow for human error, which does sort of fly in the face of the "100% certain" part.

Edit: There's also the reason I've heard about wanting to give ppl second chances because most players in the league are dumb (and young).

My conspiracy reason is that admins just have too many friends with prior cheating bans because there's a lot of people in invite across both game modes with them. Or they're worried about the hypocrisy of it or something.
