Hey, about an hour or so ago I was playing on Jelly Marathon on field, and I started to get accused of cheating by a player called SvRprelude (or something similar). I Hs'd him 3 times in a row. (Huge evidence, I know) I was a 500 Sniper and he a Shotgunner. Apparently he didn't know you could scope into the HON without being hit by base defenses. The other HS came from hugging that rock in front of the OB as he ran in a straight line.

Apparently that is a pretty mean feat. I then lag killed a player named GxMoney near our ref, he was standing still against the ref wall, and I HS - then to my horror he teleported behind the rocks near the bar and died. This wasn't exactly good timing to be getting lag kills.

I started to argue with them, and so I started to run fraps and tried to replicate the decent sniping with 25-30 FPS, it didn't happen. Raven and others were on IRC at the time, but nobody to my knowledge acted upon this whole situation.

I can understand Gx's point of view, because you can't get a HS behind a rock, period. On the other hand we have SVR, a complete moron who associates good sniping with hacking. Without trying to be arrogant, and knowing that this statement will sound like it - I hate it when players accuse you of cheating because they can't do what you can; or understand how you beat them so frequently, or simply because you're a better player than they are.

I didn't have fraps running at the time, and even if I did, I doubt anybody, let alone me, could still snipe at the same level at 25 FPS; it's just not possible, especially on an AOW server. Your reticle moves slower, people teleport around even more and your own movement is jagged.

So basically the point of this thread is how do I deal with this? I'm sure some of you know how it feels to sit there and be accused of cheating when you're completely innocent. I wonder what players like XvEzErX had to go through at times. How did players of that calibre prove their innocence? I don't have the luxury of having a machine that can run fraps and still be able to snipe comfortably.

I don't want to stop sniping, or try not to get HS (yes, I felt I had to do that yesterday), because I can't see why I should feel compelled to stop simply to avoid further accusations. It just feels like it's everybody versus me, and I can't do shit about it.

I run the latest scripts and use RR. Does this fully block the use of all cheats? If so, I can't see why I should be accused if this is known to players. Is there any sort of method I can use to prove that I'm not hacking whilst playing without Frapsing?
