Zep, my phone is not attached to my internet and therefore not prg based, point is... the original point that is, this subject was thrown up by the use of chat/voice prgs in a competetive event, not all participants were aware of the advantage it gave some in that event. Further it brought up how this information IS PASSED ON IN GAME, and how that is a violation, it also brought up many interpretations of the TOS from mods, administrators and players alike. SOME with evidence that bans are imposed due to this particular violation. I know of one pirate whose account was terminated regarding xfire.
NOW what it boils down to IS when reading a thread such as this we need to take in all angles of the advantage/disadvantage, violation, moral and tactical issues regarding this subject AND stop bickering the 'presumed' meaning of the TOS.
When dealing with a section of the game as volatile as SVS can be, where pirates are overly keen to yell 'CHEAT' any time they are experiencing latency problems or any other benign oddity of which there are many in the game, we need to be clear on the every day common place opinions and componants of that game. BEING clear means we are being proactive in our gameplay so that we no longer need to feel we are 'fumbling around in the dark' harbouring resentful feelings or harassing/being harassed by others over A GAME.
Please visit the motions thread for further reading regarding this subject and the move to resolve last weeks UNRESOLVED question, so that I can, along with others concerned about these prgs, decide whether or not to participate in TBC events.
