OOO Ranking Fraud?

I have gotten news about some ooo-games with Infiltrate. He scored owngoals, ESC-ed. Once he was a good player, but now just doing mess. I don t know why, don t know the reason, but don t have to guess it. As in supra s case: the reason is maybe interesting personally, but the main thing is this is bad for the others, so Infiltrate, please don t do it, or if maybe like it that way: it is prohibited.

First of all! Offline matches are offline matches! For that matches there is an offline ranking! They have nothing to do with the online ranking.

Second thing...this is ridiculous. Do you believe what you wrote here. Why did your friends hidden their ip adress when they are logged in ss.de? Because of what?

I am curious what Suker, Redbaron and Fresh say to that case! Lets wait for their answers!

Assuming that what s been claimed is indeed true (which may very well be, I got friends from back in the days coming over to play SWOS every once in a while as well, although we ve never entered any result on ss.de or any other site for that matter, we just play for fun and that s it) Infiltrate s friends should get online by themselves from their own, respective places and let the mods log their actual IP s (although IP checks can only go so far but meh, better than nothing) for comparison sake (and perhaps play some matches vs. volunteers/mods whilst at least two of them are online to rule out the fake account thing), besides matches that were played offline shouldn t count toward the online ranking seeing as offline and online play quite differently (aside from lag delaying inputs and whatnot, the online game s set to run slightly faster as well and these two elements end up affecting the gameplay quite a bit, there s an offline ranking for a reason).

Should Infiltrate and his buddies refuse to comply pronto, the admins will have all of the rights in the world to take all necessary measures to prevent the ranking from being exploited which means that all of their results and accounts may end up getting wiped from the site without further notice cause the amount of shady stuff going on as of late is pretty ludicrous (and silly) if you ask me and a line must be drawn here, no further;

no matter the reason stick to the rules or go home.

It s going to take a bit more to validate these claims! It is perfectly conceivable that friends can meet up and play Swos together...but for the online games to be viable, some serious evidence is required. Not sure what. Photos, independent comment from the players...

And I m missing something with the joypad connection. If your pc is the only one with a connector, how do you do the multiplayer? Does one connector not equal one joypad? So you are implying you all only play using this. Perhaps someone can tell me I am wrong.
