Below is a copy of DinosaurGas's post on Cats that was deleted. This ex-admin gone rouge decided to finally come forward because "The game is dead" and perhaps hoping for some credit for telling the TFC world. errrrr little late Dino, you are just as guilty. If in his opinion the admins "never used the information properly" then why did he wait till the game was "dead" to bring it up? He burned a lot of bridges with people that trusted him and kept copies of private mirc chat for years and yet he chose to be a part of this secrecy, who was this $$$!%+% kidding? Can we say "I'm a RETARD"?

Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:35 pm Post subject: The truth about etana

Posting this here, because the catacombs admins deleted it.

Be warned, long read ahead...

Since day 1, ETANA has been secretly logging information. It is actually a trojan, scanning client's computers, detecting cheats. The head admins of the 3 major leagues have been in on this, hiding this fact from the public. Vampire found out about it, but they threatened to ban him to keep him quiet. The reason why I am outing this is two-fold, (1) The game is dead. (2) The admins never used the information properly, imo. Too many cheaters got bye because the admins didn't want their "secret" discovered. They don't care about TFC anymore, so why hide this. They can't use the plugin with the Source games, so there is no valid reason to keep this information any more.

Code:

Session Start: Sun May 06 18:32:40 2007
Session Ident: bcr
[18:32] Session Ident: bcr (~bcr@bcr.user.gamesurge)
[18:32] <bcr> helping me
[18:32] <bcr> im so overwhelemed
[18:33] <bcr> double checking tracking stuff too
[18:33] <bcr> like the shorty trace
[18:33] <bcr> he is adament it isnt him
[18:33] <bcr> so im running the trace again
[18:33] <bcr> he made me doubt myself
[18:33] <bcr> i dont have time for doubts
[18:33] <bcr> and people tell me im too trusting
[18:34] <bcr> im sure that has something to do with it
[18:34] <bcr> so i need an assistant
[18:34] <bcr> i'd like someone i can trust completely
[18:34] <bcr> and tell things to that only i know
[18:34] <bcr> and trust they will keep quiet
[18:35] <bcr> so much gets put on my plate
[18:35] <bcr> am i rambling? yes
[18:35] <bcr> im sry
[18:37] <bcr> there's other issues on my plate... things i cant go to the ac team with
[18:37] <bcr> there's a leak and some things just cant be said
[18:37] <bcr> for fear of it getting out
[18:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> well, I'm not the leak
[18:37] <bcr> a wise man once told me
[18:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT->
[18:37] <bcr> i know you are not
[18:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> my guess would be vamp
[18:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> just my opinion
[18:38] <bcr> yes i know
[18:39] <bcr> see i cant investigate without him finding out
[18:39] <bcr> i need someone in our own department
[18:39] <bcr> a bcr department
[18:39] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> well, if I can help...sign me up
[18:39] <bcr> me and one other person
[18:39] <bcr> i'll take you. i dont know u well, but i feel good about you
[18:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> if you're apprehensive, I understand
[18:40] <bcr> im apprehensive about anyone. what i am about to tell u is sooo secret
[18:40] <bcr> i need ur assurance
[18:40] <bcr> no matter how u feel about it you wont tell
[18:40] <bcr> no matter what
[18:41] <bcr> vamp has made it known that he is a clan captain first and an admin 2nd
[18:41] <bcr> i cant have that
[18:41] <bcr> i need an admin 1st
[18:42] <bcr> someone who can withold info from a clan, even theirs for the greater good
[18:42] <bcr> can you do that?
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yes
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I withhold everything from my clan
[18:42] <bcr> ok got some time?
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> looks like it
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> kids are occupied
[18:42] <bcr> i have one hellava story to tell you
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> should I hit the bathroom first?
[18:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[18:43] <bcr> yes
[18:43] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> j/k
[18:43] <bcr> ill start a few months back
[18:43] <bcr> vamp was tipped
[18:44] <bcr> there was something loggin/collecting info from clan servers
[18:44] <bcr> he came to me
[18:44] <bcr> we investigated
[18:44] <bcr> i never knew it was going to be such a big thing
[18:44] <bcr> during our investigation it became apparent that the info we were uncovering was damning
[18:45] <bcr> damning to ugc and sta
[18:45] <bcr> once i got that far
[18:45] <bcr> i cut vamp out of the loop
[18:45] <bcr> i told him to wait
[18:45] <bcr> i didnt trust him with it, but i didnt tell him that
[18:45] <bcr> he wanted to go public
[18:45] <bcr> he wasnt thinking of the big picture
[18:46] <bcr> only of the recognition he would get by uncovering it
[18:46] <bcr> i howerever was thinking
[18:46] <bcr> i wanted access to it
[18:46] <bcr> it's an incredible tool
[18:46] <bcr> i did some digging first
[18:47] <bcr> approached people i thought would know about it
[18:47] <bcr> no one did
[18:47] <bcr> this was hidden tight
[18:47] <bcr> i had no choice but to talk to sparkle
[18:47] <bcr> i dont trust pad and avoid her directly if i can
[18:48] <bcr> we had an issue with her and pplite from feb.. another story
[18:48] <bcr> sparkle didnt give me any info
[18:48] <bcr> only said he would have to ok it with pad
[18:48] <bcr> before he could tell me anything
[18:48] <bcr> i think he thought i didnt know and was fishing
[18:49] <bcr> so i told him outright
[18:49] <bcr> i knew etana was acting as a trogen and logging things into a large searchable database
[18:49] <bcr> i knew they could scan a player for cheats
[18:49] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> wow
[18:49] <bcr> he finally admitted
[18:49] <bcr> and i have been granted access to the database
[18:50] <bcr> vamp found out i had access
[18:50] <bcr> vamp in turn attempted to blackmail me
[18:50] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> not suprised
[18:50] <bcr> said he wanted access or he was going to blow it wide open
[18:51] <bcr> i had no choice but to go to pad with this
[18:51] <bcr> we (all 3 leagues) aggreed on a blackmail of our own
[18:51] <bcr> if vamp chose to tell
[18:52] <bcr> he would be steam id banned from all three leagues, his ip would be banned from the forums, including the cats, and he would be g-lined from irc
[18:52] <bcr> he didnt flinch
[18:52] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> exactly what I would have done
[18:52] <bcr> until i told him he would also be fired from tfl
[18:52] <bcr> so
[18:52] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> hmmn
[18:52] <bcr> the agreement we (all 3) have come to
[18:53] <bcr> is vamp remains on staff in tfl, but has no access to the etana database, and he has to keep his mouth shut
[18:53] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> how did vamp find out you had access?
[18:53] <bcr> he agreed
[18:53] <bcr> well
[18:53] <bcr> we were working together until i knew about the database
[18:54] <bcr> he knew almost everything
[18:54] <bcr> it didnt take much for him to figure it out
[18:54] <bcr> so i told him not to go public because i was going to try and get access
[18:54] <bcr> once i got access i ignored him
[18:54] <bcr> he pushed it
[18:54] <bcr> i had to admit i had it
[18:54] <bcr> again he threatened
[18:54] <bcr> so i admitted
[18:55] <bcr> i thought it would be good enough
[18:55] <bcr> "our" work got tfl access
[18:55] <bcr> but no
[18:55] <bcr> he wanted credit in the community
[18:55] <bcr> so
[18:55] <bcr> vamp remains on staff until he is shipped to iraq in july
[18:55] <bcr> but i dont trust him at all
[18:56] <bcr> he gets limited info from me
[18:56] <bcr> and it's a shame i cant rely on my lead ac admin
[18:56] <bcr> so i needed to find someone i can
[18:56] <bcr> cause i need help
[18:57] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[18:57] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> this database, how extensive is it?
[18:57] <bcr> u see the importance of the secret? if hackers knew what we were scanning for then they could bypass it
[18:57] <bcr> omg it's huge dg
[18:58] <bcr> i can find, tracer offsets, _specials, pplite and catylyst hacks.. everything that would make a change to a players config code
[18:58] <bcr> just by typing in an id
[18:58] <bcr> and
[18:58] <bcr> i get all servers, gathers, pubs and private
[18:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> that run etana?
[18:59] <bcr> the cats tracker relys on people submitting the logs
[18:59] <bcr> yes
[18:59] <bcr> etana auto sends
[18:59] <bcr> and rf is configured to not ding the send
[18:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the cats tracker is involved?
[18:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and rf?
[18:59] <bcr> to announce is what i mean
[19:00] <bcr> yes
[19:00] <bcr> all combined
[19:00] <bcr> into one big database
[19:00] <bcr> searchable by ip, id, name, server ip
[19:00] <bcr> whatever
[19:00] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> nice
[19:00] <bcr> i can scan a server on match night while they are playing and know if anyone is cheating
[19:00] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> does it catch everything?
[19:00] <bcr> no
[19:01] <bcr> theres a hack called DEWS
[19:01] <bcr> we havent been able to find a code to trace

[19:01] <bcr> we have tried to find something
[19:01] <bcr> all hacks change something
[19:01] <bcr> just havent figured out dews yet
[19:02] <bcr> etana is updated when we add a new code to it
[19:02] <bcr> so there are some out there cheating that we cant detect
[19:02] <bcr> and when we ban
[19:02] <bcr> we say esp or whatever
[19:03] <bcr> we will not mention etana at all
[19:03] <bcr> it's been logging since 6-06
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> damn...lol
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> omg h4x!
[19:03] <bcr> since the newest etana from sta/ugc
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> i feel violated
[19:03] <bcr> u and ur clan are clean
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> i know
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT->
[19:03] <bcr> funy thing is
[19:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> rather I am confident I am
[19:04] <bcr> the people i thought i would catch are clean
[19:04] <bcr> tda
[19:04] <bcr> pub 24/7
[19:04] <bcr> no hacks
[19:04] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I would be suprised to find someone in tda
[19:04] <bcr> they must pub 15 times a day
[19:04] <bcr> wicked from yarr clean
[19:04] <bcr> most of dex was clean
[19:04] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it only tracks pubs with etana?
[19:04] <bcr> no
[19:04] <bcr> everything
[19:04] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> how?
[19:05] <bcr> anything running etana
[19:05] <bcr> you have to have it running
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> meaning a pub has to run etama
[19:05] <bcr> my list of servers is 85
[19:05] <bcr> yes
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> what I was saying
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT->
[19:05] <bcr> a pub has to run it
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> my pub doesn't run it
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> maybe I should start
[19:05] <bcr> most pubs are clan servers just on pub cnfg
[19:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I use Sparkies server-side
[19:05] <bcr> u should run it
[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> now I will add etana to it
[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT->
[19:06] <bcr> cool
[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> my pub attracts alot of league players now
[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> no bots
[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ftw
[19:06] <bcr> would be nice to have on the search list

[19:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I'll set it up tonight
[19:06] <bcr> cool
[19:07] <bcr> im going to make a forum for just you and i
[19:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[19:07] <bcr> it's things i need input on, etc..
[19:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> gem can access it though?
[19:07] <bcr> no one else will be able to see it
[19:07] <bcr> yes, but he doesnt care about it
[19:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[19:10] <bcr> also the shorty track i am finishing now
[19:11] <bcr> and the ming track
[19:11] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> we can post player tracks
[19:11] <bcr> im 95% sure he is caution
[19:11] <bcr> yes
[19:11] <bcr> because it is u and i only
[19:11] <bcr> another issue
[19:11] <bcr> as u know md works ugc
[19:11] <bcr> i trust md
[19:11] <bcr> he would never leak
[19:12] <bcr> he came to me yesterday
[19:12] <bcr> and said there are posts in our forum that are almost verbatum to posts in the ugc private forums
[19:12] <bcr> vamp-blackthought
[19:12] <bcr> no other explaination
[19:13] <bcr> so careful what you post
[19:13] <bcr> ugc will not share info with tfl
[19:13] <bcr> and in turn i will not share with them
[19:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> screw them!
[19:13] <bcr> they left us completely in the dark over pplite in feb
[19:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> j/k
[19:13] <bcr> and the etana
[19:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> not very nice of them
[19:13] <bcr> they only admitted once i confronted them
[19:14] <bcr> and we were left to figure it out
[19:14] <bcr> we were given a 3 day timeframe before they would post their list
[19:14] <bcr> that would have ruined our chances of catching our tfl hackers
[19:14] <bcr> with pplite
[19:14] <bcr> but it worked out
[19:15] <bcr> i didnt sleep for three days but i cracked the code
[19:15] <bcr> and we pulled demos in time
[19:15] <bcr> my point is
[19:15] <bcr> they arent very nice to us
[19:15] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I see
[19:15] <bcr> so careful what you post... it may get back to them
[19:15] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I won't post anything
[19:15] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> don't worry
[19:15] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> me and wf had a talk

[19:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> everything is cool
[19:16] <bcr> our forum will be ok, vamp wont have access
[19:16] <bcr> good
[19:16] <bcr> wf is a good guy
[19:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yeah
[19:16] <bcr> just gets antsi sometime
[19:16] <bcr> antsy
[19:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I told him I would hold off on doing vand's job right now
[19:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[19:16] <bcr> i made him mad over this shorty thing
[19:16] <bcr> lol
[19:16] <bcr> im sure he laughed
[19:17] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> he did
[19:17] <bcr> rabid is harboring another hacker
[19:17] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> oh yeah?
[19:17] <bcr> it will be #5
[19:17] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> jesus
[19:17] <bcr> wf knows
[19:17] <bcr> thing is
[19:17] <bcr> he is morally in a dilema
[19:17] <bcr> he knows because he is an admin
[19:18] <bcr> he knows he cant say anything
[19:18] <bcr> but
[19:18] <bcr> he is really upset
[19:18] <bcr> and feels like he is lying to rabid
[19:18] <bcr> this player has been rostered for years
[19:18] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> aliasing or is he cheating?
[19:18] <bcr> he has been inactive for a few too
[19:18] <bcr> just recently came back
[19:19] <bcr> he's tagging all the pubs with pplite #3
[19:19] <bcr> the newest version
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> #3?
[19:19] <bcr> hasnt played a match yet
[19:19] <bcr> yes 3
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> one thing
[19:19] <bcr> the new version
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> please post all the links you have to hack sites
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I used to be in touch with all of that
[19:19] <bcr> i can do that
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> then alot of sites shut down
[19:19] <bcr> i check them once a week
[19:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k, will do the same
[19:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> probably more often
[19:20] <bcr> ok
[19:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> etana is tracking this?
[19:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> pp3?
[19:20] <bcr> yes
[19:20] <bcr> it's actually like version 7
[19:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> does this have the hltv code in it
[19:21] <bcr> but i call it 3
[19:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> to display?
[19:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> if I'm running it while watchign a demo, will it show up?
[19:21] <bcr> it makes a change to the code yes. no you wont see a tag over their head like with the last version
[19:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[19:21] <bcr> you have to open the demo in notepad and view the code
[19:22] <bcr> to catch the change
[19:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> hmmn
[19:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> a bit time consuming
[19:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> or is it?
[19:22] <bcr> nah. do a "find" for the line
[19:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and it will display the players using it?
[19:22] <bcr> you know what a fid line is right?
[19:23] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> fid?
[19:23] <bcr> every player
[19:23] <bcr> in a demo either personal or hltv has a fid line
[19:23] <bcr> fid/xxxxxx its their srteam id encrypted
[19:23] <bcr> let me show u
[19:23] <bcr> one sec
[19:23] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> what demo players use to display steamids in the demo?
[19:24] <bcr> ill show u an older version pplite
[19:24] <bcr> not in a viewer
[19:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[19:24] <bcr> in the code in notepad
[19:24] <bcr> ill show u
[19:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> hey
[19:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ever though about a vent channel?
[19:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> thought
[19:25] <bcr> es, vamp use to run one
[19:25] <bcr> but he is unstable now
[19:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> for us though
[19:25] <bcr> here is a fid
[19:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> just the two of us
[19:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I can set one up if necessary
[19:26] <bcr> would be cool
[19:26] <bcr> but i have kids screaming in the background sometimes
[19:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> might be easier for us to communicate
[19:26] <bcr>

[19:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> so do I
[19:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and a wife screaming too
[19:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> at me
[19:26] <bcr> lol
[19:27] <bcr> \*fid\23533875\*fname\Chocolate\cl_dlmax\128\cl_lb\0.0\cl_lc\1\cl_lw\1\cl_updaterate\101\hud_classautokill\1\ati_subdv\3\dm\1\em\1\ec\1\dc\1\ts\0\rate\20000\name\Chocolate^CNOTE\model\soldier\tf_id\446\topcolor\250\bottomcolor\28
[19:27] <bcr> that is a fid line
[19:27] <bcr> every player has one
[19:27] <bcr> it is from a personal
[19:28] <bcr> this one happens to be chocolate's from the pplite bust in feb
[19:28] <bcr> this fid id is a steam
[19:28] <bcr> it's something like add the steam twice
[19:28] <bcr> + 1
[19:28] <bcr> so if ur steam is 80
[19:28] <bcr> it's 80+80
[19:29] <bcr> 160
[19:29] <bcr> +1
[19:29] <bcr> 161
[19:29] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> where is the pp tag?
[19:29] <bcr> his registered account name is chocolate
[19:29] <bcr> that's the fname
[19:29] <bcr> cl_max is a setting
[19:30] <bcr> actually it is the setting mase changes in pp3
[19:30] <bcr> but in this version
[19:30] <bcr> of pp2
[19:30] <bcr> u'll see this:
[19:30] <bcr> ati_subdv\3
[19:30] <bcr> that's the pp2 code
[19:30] <bcr> and
[19:30] <bcr> it writes to ur personal cfg file
[19:31] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> that line?
[19:31] <bcr> yes
[19:31] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> does the ati line appear in normal demos?
[19:31] <bcr> it is not a normal line in the fid line
[19:31] <bcr> personals yes
[19:32] <bcr> mase has gotten smarter
[19:32] <bcr> this pp2 doesnt work since the newest steam update
[19:32] <bcr> valcved was tipped
[19:32] <bcr> and you can thank wn for it

[19:32] <bcr> his way of sticking it ygc

[19:32] <bcr> ugc
[19:32] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> wn?
[19:32] <bcr> yes
[19:32] <bcr> wingnut
[19:32] <bcr> has a friend at steam
[19:32] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ahh
[19:33] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> tell them to ban the server crashers!!!
[19:33] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[19:33] <bcr> mase changes the cl_dlmax now
[19:33] <bcr> it is a normal hl line that appears in everyone's demo
[19:33] <bcr> cheating or not
[19:33] <bcr> but he changes the value slightly
[19:33] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> he changes the variable for it?
[19:33] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[19:33] <bcr> yes
[19:34] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> could a client change that setting manually?
[19:34] <bcr> so etana picks up the change
[19:34] <bcr> im not sure
[19:34] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> could cause a false positive then
[19:34] <bcr> every hack changes something

[00:35] <padawan|UGC> well i'll give you a little hint
[00:35] <padawan|UGC> set etana_active 0
[00:35] <padawan|UGC> that'll maintain the tracking
[00:35] <padawan|UGC> and the violation logging
[00:35] <padawan|UGC> but it'll turn off the kicks
[00:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> will it auto change still?
[00:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the tracers?
[00:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> no, right?
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> it shouldn't autochange anything
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> (if i remember right)
[00:36] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> for the "average" user it'll appear that it's disabled
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> but it still tracks steamids and violations
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> well "certain" violations lol
[00:36] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> k
[00:36] <padawan|UGC> maybe i shouldn't get into that one

[00:37] <padawan|UGC> i haven't done any real AC work in like 6 months
[00:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I probably know more than you think

[00:37] <padawan|UGC> doh
[00:37] <padawan|UGC> it's ok
[00:38] <padawan|UGC> bcr needed someone to talk to

[00:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:38] <padawan|UGC> lol fuckin hackers
[00:38] <padawan|UGC> i haven't looked at the cheat logs in months
[00:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> had 2 bans on my pubs the last few days
[00:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> speedhacks
[00:38] <padawan|UGC> [i]cheat
[00:38] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> was quiet for awhile
[00:38] <padawan|UGC> i can't believe people are still using that one
[00:39] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> you guys need to do your own "Mitchell" report
[00:39] <padawan|UGC> ^
[00:39] <padawan|UGC> how do you think I caught "crosby"
[00:39] <padawan|UGC> oh man those were the days - being a master tracker was fun in it's time
[00:39] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> JUST AIR OUT THE LAUNDRY
[00:39] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> oops caps
[00:39] <padawan|UGC> of course little did the whole world know how I was REALLY doing it
[00:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> bcr told you that I knew?
[00:40] <padawan|UGC> no, but I knew you were TFL AC
[00:40] <padawan|UGC> or maybe I knew
[00:40] <padawan|UGC> that was so long ago
[00:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> wasn't ac
[00:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> i was her "associate"
[00:40] <padawan|UGC> there was an "incident" around etana like a year ago
[00:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> behind the scenes
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> put bcr in a very awkward position
[00:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the vamp issue?
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> yeah lol
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> i laugh now
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> i didnt think it was very funny then
[00:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> still surprised he didn't talk
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> so am I
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> I threatened a ban in STA if he so much as breathed a hint
[00:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yeah
[00:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it worked...apparently
[00:41] <padawan|UGC> I fully expected him to post on cats the day before he left for Iraq
[00:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yep
[00:42] <padawan|UGC> Maybe he figured it wasn't worth an STA ban
[00:42] <padawan|UGC> thinking by the time he got back tfc would be dead anyway
[00:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ^
[00:42] <padawan|UGC> *OH THE DRAMA*
[00:43] <padawan|UGC> Fornaught knows about etana
[00:43] <padawan|UGC> logging and everything
[00:43] <padawan|UGC> so you can speak to him frankly about the problem
[00:43] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> my big thing from day one was why the info wasn't being used beter
[00:43] <padawan|UGC> I haven't seen him yet to let him know about the ftp user issue and lack of autoupdating for two months
[00:43] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> better
[00:44] <padawan|UGC> yeah - politics were weird back then
[00:44] <padawan|UGC> and it all seemed so much more important back then too
[00:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> of course
[00:44] <padawan|UGC> UGC had a lot of distrust towards TFL because of wf
[00:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> there was still a community
[00:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> wf was an $####+%
[00:44] <padawan|UGC> the idea of this big secret tracking tool was mine
[00:44] <padawan|UGC> I didnt want to tell TFL cuz I didnt trust that TFL could keep it secret
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> mainly, that wf couldn't
[00:45] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> they couldn't
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> so we locked out TFL
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> and UGC and STA did etana together
[00:45] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> although afaik only I know
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> and basically forced TFL into using it whether they wanted to or not
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> because everyone would have it for STA
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> and we never told TFL what it REALLY did
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> back in those days only three people even KNEW
[00:45] <padawan|UGC> mirv who made it, me, and Bookrat
[00:46] <padawan|UGC> and we couldn't use it to ban for people hacking in pubs, cuz we didnt want to give away the logging
[00:46] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> could have used it with pubs with hltv
[00:46] <padawan|UGC> so the leagues structured rules like "let the plugin do its job"

[00:46] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> like mine
[00:46] <DinosaurGas-CLT->

[00:46] <padawan|UGC> well, that's sort of what was done
[00:46] <padawan|UGC> I'd review logs by violation
[00:46] <padawan|UGC> if I could find the matching dem, we'd ban
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> no dem, no ban
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> unless it was a match
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> if it was a match we did a "random" dem pull

[00:47] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> oh man I held on to sik for so long
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> cuz I wanted to catch him in a match
[00:47] <padawan|UGC> then he was a retard and used pplite in a match
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> and I watched it happen in real time
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> that was a hoot
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> I was like OH YEAH BABY
[00:48] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> NOT ONLY DID I GET THE ALIAS BUT NOW I GOT THE CHEAT
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> it's funny now it seems laughable what a big deal I made it all out to be
[00:48] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it was big
[00:48] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and still is...to some
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> yeah
[00:48] <padawan|UGC> it was a TFL match
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> cuz he was banned in UGC and STA for login-sharing
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> we all knew it was sik from etana logs with an IP match
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> so when he cheated in a TFL match
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> it was like phuck
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> how do we get the dem
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> how do we get the dem from TFL, without telling TFL we just logged a cheat in one of their matches
[00:49] <padawan|UGC> lol oh man those were the days
[00:50] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> should get etana fixed
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> and shh mase never knew
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> yeah I'm digressing/reminiscing
[00:50] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> np
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> 1. mase NEVER knew we were logging his cheats so just FYI
[00:50] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> interesting...to me at least
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> could have repercussions if he ever found out that I was so two-faced to him
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> as to secretly log his %@*@
[00:50] <padawan|UGC> cuz if he makes something for TF2
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> I wanna secretly log that too
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> <-- so devious
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> oh well
[00:51] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> I cant play for %@*@, I can't even bhop
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> this is how I have fun with the game
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> I'll see if I can reach mirv
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> figure out what the deal is
[00:51] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> mitchell report!
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> lol
[00:51] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> we want names
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> oh man
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> I feel like it
[00:51] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> funny...but it's really similar circumstances
[00:51] <padawan|UGC> you know how I caught Lifedelinquent?
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> and trent?
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> the other big busts before etana2?
[00:52] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ?
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> I gotta wonder if they ever figured it out
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> trent obviously didnt
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> cuz he left a breadcrumb for me every time he got a new ID
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> all I needed was a dem with him in it
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> Neoarch my ass lol
[00:52] <padawan|UGC> he's so full of %@*@ that guy is
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> oh oh
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> and his concaim?
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> it's all fullupdate
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> he fills my etana database with it it's laughable
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> Mitchell report! oh man this could be hilarious
[00:53] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it would be great
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> it would certainly liven up the cats that's for sure
[00:53] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I would gladly help
[00:53] <padawan|UGC> I caught Massacre on etana before he came clean
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> Lifedelinquent was a fid match off of one of my teammate's dems
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> trent was a fid match off of some retarded ovo dispute
[00:54] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> Loki even made a little fid database
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> and a program to extract and automatch from dems
[00:54] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> nice
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> trent left us a flashing red light every time he got a new ID
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> it was hilarious
[00:54] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> how so?
[00:54] <padawan|UGC> just had to get the right dem
[00:55] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> fullupdate?
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> well, prior to about gosh i think it was march 2006? that friends beta came back?
[00:55] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yeah
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> prior to that your fid - your "friends id"
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> was related to your installation of steam/windows
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> it identified you AS A PERSON
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> so if i could get a new steamid
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> but i kept my fid
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> fid's could be obtained by opening a dem in a text editor
[00:55] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yeah
[00:55] <padawan|UGC> the fid of every person on the server
[00:56] <padawan|UGC> so all i needed was a dem with trent IN it and i had his fid
[00:56] <padawan|UGC> fids match --> ban
[00:56] <padawan|UGC> we got many people that way
[00:56] <padawan|UGC> we started having to use etana when friends beta came online cuz then everyone got a new fid,
[00:56] <padawan|UGC> and fid was a function of steamid, not person
[00:57] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ah
[00:57] <padawan|UGC> wow man lol you got me when drunk I'm just spilling all of tfc's secrets now!
[00:57] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> no worries
[00:57] <padawan|UGC> Bookrat or bcr or Loki or someone would probably have my ass lol
[00:57] <padawan|UGC> but you're good stuff I know you respect the community and won't go like post logs of this in the cesspool or something
[00:57] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> i've never told anyone about it
[00:58] <padawan|UGC> well, I'm obsolete
[00:58] <padawan|UGC> TF2 came out right after I went back to work
[00:58] <padawan|UGC> I've been a stay at home Mom for like four years
[00:58] <padawan|UGC> up until a few months ago
[00:58] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> new game to dissect
[00:58] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> for cheats that is
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> so I had time to do all this deep technical AC work and tracking and stuff
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> I don't have time for it anymore
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> I've only played TF2 once
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> the day it came out
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> and like with tfc, I played well first
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> and I was like "where the phuck is the flag"
[00:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> and then I got run over by a train
[00:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lmao
[00:59] <padawan|UGC> and I haven't touched it since lol
[00:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> people are coming back to tfc
[00:59] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> getting bored with tf2
[01:00] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I run pubs for both...but still play tfc mainly
[01:00] <padawan|UGC> man these people are pathetic
[01:00] <padawan|UGC> 2007-12-25 19:35:18 tfc 63.251.20.8 [AF]-ReCrUiTiNg FOR 7V7 No Bots-FF Catacombs Player Tracker League Tracker 0:0:13391982 [Catacombs Player Tracker] 24.36.4.246 s4nTy-[AF] fullupdate
[01:00] <padawan|UGC> if you cant concaim by now,
[01:00] <padawan|UGC> dont fuckin play heavy
[01:00] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> look at his id
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> truth is, we can't block fullupdate
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> it has too many adverse affects and can crash the client
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> all we can do is log it
[01:01] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> ban for anticonc
[01:01] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> yep
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> thats what we do
[01:01] <padawan|UGC> we get a dem and ban for anticonc
[01:02] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> af is in ugc 5v
[01:02] <padawan|UGC> heh yeah
[01:02] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and 7v
[01:02] <padawan|UGC> that's his only violation though
[01:02] <padawan|UGC> I have that guy tracked for nearly two years
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> and that fullupdate on Christmas was his only etana violation ever
[01:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> tfc will only die when leagues stop caring and pubs shut down
[01:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> no reason not to ban still
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> well, that was always a question
[01:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> there are some of us who still care
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> if you look at rules pages, fullupdate is technically bannable
[01:03] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yes it is
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> things like _special arent - they are sportsmanship violations
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> but fullupdate is bannable
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> so TECHNICALLY
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> for a league that bans for public hacking,
[01:03] <padawan|UGC> use of fullupdate on a pub is a bannable offense
[01:04] <padawan|UGC> so this is another "how do you use the data" argument
[01:04] <padawan|UGC> and we agreed long ago not to ban for fullupdate on a pub, if our only evidence was logging with etana
[01:04] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> times have changed
[01:04] <padawan|UGC> because the purpose of the tool was more important - the need for secrecy outweighed the need to ban that random fullupdate guy
[01:04] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> this might actually help the community
[01:04] <padawan|UGC> indeed
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> i've often toyed with making the etana logs public
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> just dump the beans myself
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> post on cats
[01:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> honestly...what is there to lose?
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> "I've been secretly tracking you at the UGC site for two years without your knowledge
[01:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the only teams left are ones who love the game
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> "including every etana violation, and many dll cheats"
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> "and here are the logs. Have fun"
[01:05] <padawan|UGC> It would either result in
[01:05] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> would be great
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> 1. I get banned from cats
[01:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> build it up days prior
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> 2. Rasp or someone else cans the thread
[01:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the paddy report!
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> 3. 100 pages of people posting
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> with a vaultable thread that makes tfc history
[01:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I'll host it on my site
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> the paddy report
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> rofl
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> yes!
[01:06] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> screw them
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> oh oh oh
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> but here's the rub
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> oh i got it
[01:06] <padawan|UGC> i TOTALLY got it
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> "In order to view the logs, you must sign up for DG's tfc 4v4 league, and play at least 4 matches"
[01:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yes!
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> LMAO
[01:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> that would so rock
[01:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> thats dead too
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> I bet you'd get like 20 signups
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> in like 2 days
[01:07] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> sure would
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> but they MUST play some matches too

[01:07] <padawan|UGC> they caqnt just signup, see etana logs, and bail
[01:07] <padawan|UGC> so by the time 20 teams play 4 matches each
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> the league is large enough and alive enough that it'll self sustain
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> I may not have $1000 to award to a tournament winner, but I have information buddy!
[01:08] * padawan|UGC opens trenchcoat
[01:08] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> I got your syntex logs
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> your pp logs
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> your gogogadget logs
[01:08] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> rofl
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> your pplite logs (shh mase doesnt know)
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> your etana logs
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> hell I even got VDC logs
[01:08] <padawan|UGC> but you must sign up AND play matches!!
[01:09] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> bleh someone would get a copy and just post it on cats
[01:09] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> no %@*@
[01:09] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> sit there anc copy/paste for an hour
[01:09] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> and
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> ^
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> download the database
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> publish it as a MS access file or some %@*@
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> or rehost it
[01:09] <padawan|UGC> cuz people are turds
[01:09] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I would just take it and format it for the short bus types

[01:12] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> the only ones who will balk will be those who were caught
[01:12] <padawan|UGC> well, we were gonna pull in TFL
[01:12] <padawan|UGC> early
[01:12] <padawan|UGC> back when etana was first programmed
[01:12] <padawan|UGC> and wf got logged with ax1 like every single week
[01:12] <padawan|UGC> that's what made us go "um maybe we shouldn't tell TFL"
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> OH MAN I'm definitely drunk I'm just spilling all sorts of dirty little tfc secrets aren't I
[01:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> sweet!
[01:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> keep em coming!
[01:13] * DinosaurGas-CLT- runs to cats
[01:13] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> doh
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> lol
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> ok ok
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> is this like the etana drinking game?
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> here's a little confession
[01:13] <padawan|UGC> I dropped the ball on ch^
[01:14] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yeah..you just lost again
[01:14] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> fess up
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> we had him matched on etana
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> like the day he became ravager
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> you wont find the IP match on cats
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> you WILL find it on etana
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> and I +#@@%% it up - I misread the data
[01:14] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> doh
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> so he got away with it for like a year and a half
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> even though we had him anyway
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> oh well my bad
[01:14] <padawan|UGC> my apologies to the community
[01:15] <padawan|UGC> but, hey,
[01:15] <padawan|UGC> I was the admin that banned him to begin with so pbbbt
[01:15] <padawan|UGC> and no it wasn't for shooting the heavy through the wall
[01:15] <padawan|UGC> I think I did more than my fair share of alias and cheating busts to deserve forgiveness for one mistake
[01:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> of course
[01:16] <padawan|UGC> well bleh I'll yack all night
[01:16] * DinosaurGas-CLT- hugs pad
[01:16] <padawan|UGC> heh
[01:16] <padawan|UGC> if you ever want to know the REAL truth of league's "involvement" in logged cheats,
[01:16] <padawan|UGC> just ask me
[01:16] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> whats the real truth?
[01:16] <padawan|UGC> I got a million interesting "logs"
[01:17] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> "The Padawan Report"
[01:17] <padawan|UGC> ^ indeed
[01:17] <padawan|UGC> If I ever REALLY TRULY decide to give up this world for good
[01:17] <padawan|UGC> I'll go out with a bang
[01:17] <padawan|UGC> and post every single little dirty secret on the cats
[01:17] <padawan|UGC> and then disappear
[01:17] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> wouldn't have to give it up
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> forever
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> and alias
[01:18] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> more like sit back and smile
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> and I guarantee no one would ever find me
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> cuz I DON'T have a myspace
[01:18] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> I swear that "post a recent picture of yourself" thread
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> has done more for tracking of aliased cheaters than fids, cats tracker, and etana combined
[01:18] <padawan|UGC> here's a first clue:
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> 1. IF YOU'RE AN ALIASED PERSON, DONT POST YOUR PICTURE AT THE CATS KTHX
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> *cough* sponge
[01:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> remember that
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> [00:17:27] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> more like sit back and smile
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> perhaps that's the way to do it
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> I missed the golden eyars
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> *years
[01:19] <padawan|UGC> I didnt even know tfc existed until 2001
[01:19] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> like I said, nobody will be mad at you
[01:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> all the heat will be on those listed
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> didn't start playing competetively until late 2002
[01:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> you can't ruin what is already dead
[01:20] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> to most
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> yeah
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> its odd
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> I was looking forward to TF2 and FF for so long
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> It was worse than being pregnant
[01:20] <padawan|UGC> FF was a huge disappointment
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> and TF2 I frankly just didn't like
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> and tfc fell much faster than I thought it would
[01:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> if ff had real bhop...i would enjoy it
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> and in the end it was like
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> why did I look forward to the death of tfc for so long
[01:21] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> for the report!
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> rofl
[01:21] <padawan|UGC> TFL gone? I mean wow
[01:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> adl is done too
[01:22] <padawan|UGC> UGC tfc outlasted TFL tfc?
[01:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yep
[01:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> tfl has been dead for months
[01:22] <padawan|UGC> Oh man
[01:22] <padawan|UGC> I have a great big fat stinkin joke about TFL
[01:22] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> bcr?
[01:22] <padawan|UGC> oh my god lol that is so tasteless
[01:22] <padawan|UGC> well, the joke is this
[01:23] <padawan|UGC> TFL finally had to just drop their banlist altogether, because they couldn't keep track of all the bans that kept disappearing
[01:23] <padawan|UGC> and I DON'T mean people coming off for probation
[01:23] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> i know
[01:23] <padawan|UGC> we actually tried to formally "prosecute" TFL
[01:23] <padawan|UGC> lol you knew?
[01:23] <padawan|UGC> knew from league ties or did the general community actually know as well?
[01:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I had access to the entire site/db
[01:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> one reason why wf got mad and left tfl
[01:24] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> another hand in his cookie jar
[01:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> then they brought infidel on
[01:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> then everyone went afk and bcr flipped out on me
[01:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> so I ignored her and left tfl
[01:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> she freaked because of the 1000 and no teams had signed up...
[01:25] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> all the admins were missing
[01:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> she thought I stole code for my 4v4 site from the tfl site
[01:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> had a breakdown
[01:26] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> she did
[01:27] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> too much drama...when I was one of the only ones who cared
[01:27] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> rest rode the shortbus to school
[01:27] <padawan|UGC> i actually feel for bcr
[01:27] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> she is a great person
[01:28] <padawan|UGC> TFL was always Gem's
[01:28] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> trying to do too much herself
[01:28] <padawan|UGC> and he got too busy and essentially had to pass too much buck to bcr
[01:28] <padawan|UGC> yep
[01:28] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> gem never did %@*@
[01:28] <padawan|UGC> so you ended up with a person who never had DIRECT admin experience from disputes or AC or being a ladder admin or anything
[01:28] <padawan|UGC> suddenly in charge of an entire league, and lacking the practical experience
[01:28] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> yep
[01:29] <padawan|UGC> and I think that's what caused the whole Vampire thing
[01:29] <padawan|UGC> Vampire bullied bcr into thinking that he had "secrets
[01:29] <padawan|UGC> that STA and UGC didnt have
[01:29] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> she brought vamp back on the staff when he came back
[01:29] <padawan|UGC> "I'll give you my list if you hire me" or something like that
[01:29] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> pissed a bunch of us off
[01:29] <padawan|UGC> Vampire is very manipulative
[01:29] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> uh huh
[01:30] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> very controlling as well
[01:30] <padawan|UGC> oh man I'll never forget when I "interviewed" him on his login-sharing violation
[01:30] <padawan|UGC> I usually gave people a chance to explain why their login was used at home and then 30 minutes later in a match from their best friends house 800 miles away
[01:30] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:30] <padawan|UGC> Vampire gave some sap story about how it was him, and his "roommate" on the base must have used his login
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> that he was at some "LAN" with karms
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> and his "roommate" used his ID
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> and that explained the geography jump
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> which was hilarious
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> because his "roommate" had just been talking about leetones etc in #tfc.gather.us
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> not to mention
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> that Vampire had just applied for the STA-AC team
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> and on his application
[01:31] <padawan|UGC> stated he lived alone, did not have a roommate, and no one else had access to his computer
[01:32] <padawan|UGC> it was like "Come the phuck on Phil, I'm not an idiot"
[01:32] <padawan|UGC> ban
[01:32] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> lol
[01:32] <padawan|UGC> at least Griffith admitted it
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> I was like "so explain to me why it is, that your ID was used in New York, amazingly at an IP that matches your best friend sik, in an STA match, while your IP is making a recruitment post at cats, DURING the match?"
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> pasted him the link to the cats recruitment post
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> and he confessed
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> it's like ok
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> here's your next tfc tip
[01:33] <padawan|UGC> (I should publish a list of these)
[01:34] <padawan|UGC> 2. If you're going to login-share so your banned best friend can play in a match as you, DON'T make a recruitment post for your team at cats DURING that match
[01:34] <padawan|UGC> so I offered him a choice
[01:34] <padawan|UGC> he could be banned from STA or be banned from cats
[01:34] <padawan|UGC> oh man the IRC logs I have on my pc
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> good stuff for the cesspool
[01:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> !
[01:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> report!
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> rofl
[01:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> 400 pages
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> fun times
[01:35] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> just like mitchell
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> ^
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> that would be SO like me too
[01:35] <padawan|UGC> I dont post at cats, but my posts in UGC admin forums are like multi-page
[01:36] <padawan|UGC> Well, I'll never understand why bcr re-hired vampire
[01:36] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> neither did we
[01:36] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> desperation
[01:36] <padawan|UGC> but, maybe I'm only seeing the one side of the story I dunno
[01:36] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> as everyone else was afk/mia
[01:36] <padawan|UGC> It's sorta like wf and the TFL banlist
[01:37] <padawan|UGC> it was so pathetically obvious to UGC and STA that wf was removing bans made on his friends
[01:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> uh huh
[01:37] <padawan|UGC> we even filed a formal "prosecution" or whatever
[01:37] <padawan|UGC> with piles and piles of evidence proving it
[01:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> thats why he got so mad when he found out I had access
[01:37] <padawan|UGC> and it was signed collectively by like 20 admins from UGC and STA
[01:37] <padawan|UGC> and sent to Gemini
[01:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> post it on the cats!
[01:37] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> rofl
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> the problem with it all is the bonds of friendship and camraderie often supercede leagues and rules
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> you have someone like wf and Wingnut
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> who adminned together in leagues prior to TFL
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> who go back YEARS AND YEARS
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> and when someone that close to you is accused of something so heinous
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> no matter what evidence is presented, you just won't believe it,
[01:38] <padawan|UGC> especially when you're the decision maker who would issue the punishment
[01:39] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> well...I need to get some sleep
[01:40] <padawan|UGC> yeah me too
[01:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> think about the report though
[01:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> seriously
[01:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> nothihng to lose now
[01:40] <padawan|UGC> I'll shoot a message to mirv and look at steam updates - see if there's an explanation
[01:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> nothing
[01:40] <padawan|UGC> lol it could be fun
[01:40] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it would be
[01:40] <padawan|UGC> maybe the day STA and/or UGC close tfc for good
[01:40] <padawan|UGC> I'll publish the report
[01:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> should at least ban people who are still cheating
[01:41] <padawan|UGC> Well, if I catch them I would
[01:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> oh well, good night
[01:41] <padawan|UGC> you too
[01:41] <padawan|UGC> nice chattin
[01:41] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> same
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> and yeah it all stays here omgzor
[01:42] * DinosaurGas-CLT- waves
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> let me post it on cats heh

[01:42] * padawan|UGC waves
[01:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> you won't do it!
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> oh I will
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> it'll be fun
[01:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> triple dog dare you!
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> when tfc closes

[01:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> so never
[01:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> such a tease
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> as long as UGC and STA are still alive with tfc, I won't do that to the community
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> lol!
[01:42] <padawan|UGC> or maybe I should
[01:42] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> typical woman
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> maybe it would bring back excitement
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> lol
[01:43] * DinosaurGas-CLT- ducks
[01:43] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> it would
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> you know, I can edit those etana logs straight with phpmyadmin
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> might just tag something to your ID

[01:43] <padawan|UGC> kidding! kidding! kidding!
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> omgzor I'd never do that
[01:43] * DinosaurGas-CLT- heads to the cats to copy/paste
[01:43] <padawan|UGC> lmao
[01:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> you'll have to come clean then
[01:44] * DinosaurGas-CLT- cues evil laugh
[01:44] <padawan|UGC> I'll deny it all!
[01:44] <padawan|UGC> which is what I would've done if Vampire posted
[01:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> didn't work for clemens
[01:44] <padawan|UGC> heh
[01:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> I'm credible though...unlike Vamp
[01:44] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> muhahaahahahaha
[01:45] <padawan|UGC> rofl
[01:45] <DinosaurGas-CLT-> good night
Session Close: Thu Dec 27 01:45:33 2007

13 cat sniper!

It's the 1970's all over agian

Well, I don't get why they didn't tell us they did this in the first place, and covering it up makes it worse.....makes leagues untrustworthy..what else could they be doing?

OMG! IT'S TONY!!! You know guys it's really time to COME BACK!! I'm at least hoping this summer the fun will begin all over again

You are both missed!

I'm thinking of making another clan called The MODCLAN or MODWaR, seems lately we have been hitting up Dod, HL, CStrike, Firearms and even sven co-op! Maybe this summer we can join ladders for each mod...hehehe

We have a server for each mod now including TF2. I'm having a blast playing multiple mods most nights. Hurry back soon, I need fresh meat!

yummmm, pizza is good. Man I reply late here, 15th psh, now it's the 22nd. Much cooler down here right now, yep with all that ocean air coming from the mountains (yup, I know that makes no sense if you don't know how airflow goes, or does it?) Soon it will be an inferno.

Well anywho...you're never on when I'm on screamen...or maybe it's the other way around. And, I can't get onto the game until at least June, 'cause of grades...so yea.

How's your guys's matches going anyway?

...can you repeat that?...

we are doing great. As long as we field enough to play I can't complain. We did lose a bunch of players recently but it was a good thing because they reformed an old clan and now we got one more clan in the ladder. Playing against former members is better than playing a team u know no one. A few members created their own 7v7 6v6 and 5v5 clans and that seems to be going good for them. Nitro created a 6v6 and is the ladder champ!! GJ Nitro! These guys just can't enough TFC!
