Dear Council of Mages,
It happens sometimes that someone brings in a friend in the game and they use skype, teamspeak, or any other good voice software out there. Usually I don't mind.
But when there's a game with a 6-man team and a 4-man team skyping... It is not cool anymore.
I've added the replay as a file (need approval by Moderator). My name is JiyuuSensei in game (nicknamed Karateka in Mafia), so you can look at my perspective to match the following replay's time schedule:
At 25:33, "Annie The Dark Child" admits that he's in a 6-man party with his friends on skype (25;45) and even asks me to join him (26:22). Blasphemy! :P
Followed by "Niggatron", who also admits to teaming up with a friend, at 25:53.
I have not looked at all the other people's perspective to see who was skyping. A 6 - man, 4 - man and 2 - man party... I don't even want to begin investigating that one. I only trusted "Seamen McHunk" during the entire game, he seemed one of the few non-skypers here.
Real names:
"Annie The Dark Child" : FreezeX
"Niggatron" : Doomstryver
I didn't know that people who used skype etc. where taken care of by this community. I thought that this was "just a custom game" and had to take it in the... behind, if something like this happened. However, "Seamen McHunk", or his real battle.net ID, Khajas, told me I could report this here. We talked after the game and I decided to post my replay here to bring out justice!
Dark.Revenant takes care of his game, and does not pity cheaters. I respect that enormously -- it's nice to see someone dedicated to making a custom game and keeping it rolling.
Cheers,
Jiyuu Sensei.
