$2100 in ten hours

I don't even

Epic stuff : D

I don't think they should see jail time for this, but you cannot tell me they weren't aware of the consequences of what they were doing - and of course its the TF2 and CS communities will suffer if it all comes tumbling down.

Queue IT heads for a largish company somewhere mining away on workstations at night

Also of interest, 6 months ago we had 70 active TF2 6's clans in Aus TF2

That isn't an inconsequential number

Combine New Zealand players into the mix and that number was 15 higher (I ping 35ms to Aus servers hence most serious kiwis play in Aus) although there are obviously only a very select number of decent NZ players, such as Antwa, kicking around now.

Either way everyone talks about just how tiny the scene is, but it doesn't seem that way to me, at least for competitive 6's, although there is no question that iM stands above the competition in Aus currently.

Already tried to get a server set up in Hawaii for such showmatches and even scrims

Unfortunately both sides get 130+ due to routing

I use pvhud for playing, and of course GTV hud (pure 2 secure) for spectating

Definitely laptop

Tablets are amazing tech and I use my Transformer Prime for at least two hours a day even if its just to catch up in the morning or read before bed, but they compliment your tech life, rather than fulfill everything you want to do.

Epic read slin

300 or so casts of Australasian competitive Team Fortress 2 from the last two years

As DJC said if it was an accidental ban it would have been reversed by now, I know of a few people (one a high profile Aus admin) who were vac banned, claimed innocence but accepted their fate, and were unbanned within 48 hours.

As for openplugin, none of you are silly we all know Valve would not choose one or two select high profile admins from various communities and ban them to make a point (especially without a public not about it), it would be all or nothing - and like most community admins I tested its capabilities when it was released and don't have a pending vac ban.

As for the actual fov scripts and pic maps settings server operators can lock out the relevant cvars, moreover the altered ones, as much as they like.

When we decided the fov changer would not be allowed in ozfortress competitions it was locked down, anyone who connects to our servers with the cvars set out of range gets a warning message, and shortly there after kicked, maybe this is something UGC can look into - doesn't stop you from connecting to any other servers, just don't do it on ours thanks.

Either way I thoroughly disapprove of innocent until proven guilty with VAC bans, if you get vacced and the ban stands with Valve I don't see any recourse regardless of community stature, at least within our own community. To allow such things would be to open the floodgates to users claiming they got hacked and all sorts of shit to cover up being a shit cunt who needs hacks to in most cases still be average at the game.

That's my opinion on it anyway

Wish we had lacrosse in this part of the world - played a bit at school in P.E. but there isn't a single club I am aware of, super fun sport : (

Confirming

UGC so good in aus

Take our latest match for example
