For the record I do not cheat. Im getting sick of this..

Contrary to popular belief:

I have no spawning advantages. My bullets do not come out faster. My tank is not faster.

Any serverside scripts will only work if you host your own server. I cant host so there goes that theory.

I do not use any programmed firing routines.

There are some client side tweaks that can give u an edge and I dont do that either.

I play fair and square...cant say the same for many of the other top players.

The only edge I have is a (sometimes) decent connection, pretty good machine (could be better)

GREAT mouse and large monitor...i dont even have the nostromo.

Luck follows skillz

@Bolo

What provoked this? Did someone acuse you of cheating? I've never heard or read such an acusation.

All I've ever heard were the complaints about you diving and battlemoding too much, that's all.

Every elite scrummer gets that kind of heat sooner or later. People get frustrated from losing to the same person all the time and so the excuses and acusations start to flow in a sad attempt to justify the results.

I wouldn't let any of it bother you Bolo. Don't even comment on any of it because then it kind of dignifies it and gives the whiners some sick satisfaction. You and everyone who knows the game of scrum know who's clean and who's dirty (we know who's great and who's not).

Edit:

It's similar to what we've all experienced during a game of scrum that you happen to be dominating. The losers start belly-aching and start trying to find an excuse for the score and use the c-word, "Camper!" or "Diver!" or here's one I've seen a lot of lately, "Lurker!"!!! They also love to shout out "FB!"... Well, shoot, we all know what a FB is! I never feel the need to point that out. We all know what it is and that it usually evens out and we all get one eventually. Some players might get more than their share on ocassion (sometimes it's you if you're lucky)... Sometimes players ar blessed with excellent spawns, sometimes not (I've had games where almost every spawn has been on the opposite end of the map!)

In the end, we need to stop with the whining and excuse making and just compliment a fellow player when they've performed well and take defeats as a man/woman when we lose because we ALL lose eventually! Yes, even the best like Bolo, Jangles, TG, etc. Etc.

Steroids in Think Tanks!!! What!!! Haha you shouldnt worry about it bolo, lilaliend (FU) and myself have seen you play. Seems all nat-tu-rail to me.

I happen to know first hand that Bolo has built a magnetic Think Tanks Reality Distortion field. That is the only reason I am not able to get around him and score. He is clearly cheating in that he can jump-pad all the way across a map, change direction in the air, land ON me taking the flag and bounce through the air the rest of the way into the goal. In addition, he shoots off axis by as much as 45 degrees and still manages to have every shot hit me. And furthermore, for those of you who think he is a camper, look closer, he is actually placing land mines around the goal so that I die every damn time I carry the scrum just as my nose makes it into the goal.

Either that, or he has figured out how important momentum, angles, trajectory, aiming, and timing are.... But I like the reality distortion field idea better, somehow makes me feel like it's not my fault that I lose to him so damn often.

@ Bolo - so you are saying there ARE ways people can tweak it to get an unfair advantage? Is there any way to tell during a game? I do not have the requisite computer knowledge to make such changes, but would like to know if it is widespread....

Was just gonna say exactly what Professor said. You can cheat? I don't want to, but I often feel that sometimes people are faster, more accurate, more durable in games. Please no one spread the knowledge of how to 'roid up your tank if it is possible.

I think bolo is right luck does follow skill.

If u spwan near the goal with out anyone

At the goal maybe even the cleaner may

Score, but if there are few tanks there, than

Thats were skill comes in wit the luck of

Spwaning near the goal.

Also there is no unfair advantage tweeking

Your tank if everyone else can do the same.

Messing wit the mouse properties is not unfair

Anyone can do it. Or cleaning your hard drive

Before u play anyone can do that also.

I guess thats y they call this game think tanks...

Lol u guys are funny. YES there are ways to cheat but most of the players who know enough about computers to do this will not take the advantage. There seems to be a code of silence about how these things are done and I wanna maintain it. I just researched a bunch of different ideas I had. There are only a few things that can be done. I just finished a solo mode game and scored a whopping 78 with a few "tweaks" it was fun to experiment with the bots....would never use any advantage on real players...not a whole lot of things can be done...MUCH better than most online games!!

B

P.s. TG those hips are an unfair advantage!!

Tally and hugo have a scrum magnet....i swear.. :)

OMG I just got accused of having "The Bolo Code" in a game where I tromped some ppl. The accusation came after I got a FB. Hilarious.

I'd say let's have these cheats! Better they are available to everyone rather than a select few. There are those that are not as ethical and we need to protect ourselves! XD

OK, I'd cheat in a heartbeat! Give me the codes! I'm tired of getting killed all the time right before I score! I'm too old for the stress and disappointment. I don't think Bolo cheats but then anybody can kill me not just him. Wait a minute...maybe Bolo hacked into my computer and fixed my game to where I am really slow and easy to kill! THAT'S IT!!! Bolo you cheat!!!!!

@Bolo,

Please don't fool us all. You are the biggest cheat in this game, even bigger than me.

I have seen that picture of you in you website, and I know that you paste it on your tank, because of the hypnotizing effect it has on me. If it doesn't work, out comes the musical instruments, hypnotizing me, like mermaids did to sailors many a year ago.

We all know you Bolo, you didn't have to come out in the open and state the obvious.

Lauryn^TM

_{Disclaimer:- If you believe everything I wrote, then I suggest you seek psychiatric help, and tell them to throw the keys out.}

BTW Bolo, have you ever told anyone that we are lovers??? Yes for ther record Bolo can play musical instruments, that why he is good with his hands.... Oops can I say that... LOL... I guess I have.

Lol!!!

Lets just say that if someone is dominating a game I am prepared to counter them...COMON guys I guaruntee that you would be able to tell something wasnt right!! The best cheaters out there cheat so slightly that u can hardly tell and when u suspect something it is easier to blame lag...no names but they are out there...with the way I lag these days no cheat would help me anyway...i get toasted when I lag!!

B

Bolo you big cheater pants.

What lag!!!

Flea I dont know how u did it.....somehow flea has made his connection and my connection swap....he used to be mr laggy and I never had a worry...no I lag EVERYWHERE except dash bash and flea doesnt lag at all...flea please switch back with me...im jealous of your improved aim!! WAIT............now I understand.......that congressman story.....he left out a KEY part....he got his bandwith back because they STOLE it from ME.... "well mr congressman we need to keep this registered voter happy....we dont want our stock to go down by having enough equipment for the customers we serve....wait....lets take if from somebody else randomly......"

Bastids

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......i lagged out of sluggies server tonight and then couldnt see it to get back in...flea did u do that??

B

Sorry Bolo, I am the one who coined that term to Ass Hat, "The Bolo Code", inspired by that recent phenomenon "The DaVinci Code".

I had just gotten into that scrum game with time running out and noticed the score was something shocking like Ass Hat 15 and the next closest player had 3 or something like that. So I jokingly accused him of being a cheater and came up with the phrase, "The Bolo Code". We all know you don't cheat.

It's like the time when some people were giving you a hard time for cliff divind a little too much for their liking and then I started shouting "BOLO!" whenever I leaped off a cliff, much like that old "Geronimo!" shout. All in jest.

Bolo doesn't have to cheat. His NOoOoobie Luck is doing all the work for him! XD

Dam right HB
