Player Banned: Chocola

[Kauket]

Some interesting conclusions were made.

1) I could be wrong, but I am very certain it was not him. I gifted him Ultrakill yesterday, he wanted to wait until today to play since no time yesterday, he was playing for the first time and was streaming it to me and I was eager to see how his first impression was going to be. And he streamed it 4:45pm when he got tired of playing "endless waves" in the game, we were very excited about the game and spoke about it.

He started playing at 3:52 PM server time. He finished at 4:45PM server time ish.

reference of stream

I have a 20 minute shadowplay video (I did a recall because of the funny planet in conn I was talking about in dev chat, thats why I have it in the first place.) - If you want the full video, you can request it - but for the sake of clarify I trimmed bits out because don't want to leak dev chat + nor wait too long for entire clip to upload.

I have a video towards the end of my 20 minute shadowplay clip (15:33 - 20:00) where you can see him reading the chat, learning how to parry, and still playing the game. He alt tabs because he struggles to understand spoken English, he understands written English better.


In the admin command logs, .kill was used at 4:34 pm. He was still playing Ultrakill at the time. Vendetta was also watching the stream and can testify. Chocola took a break at 4:40 pm ish but he was most certainly still active and doing things where he couldnt be multitasking (shooting npcs in FL and ultrakill?). You can also cross reference logs of the 'cheater' with activities he's done ingame (type, position, logging, shooting, repairing. etc. ) You can also probably see the game time on his steam profile too.

NB: Chocola was also previously on A/)-ACV-Lament before we logged off and watched him play Ultrakill - So you can see what hardware or IP was used there. (likely the same, but no less. )

2) Unfortunately, there's a grave mix up regarding the ban, because you've just IP banned a few players as they share the same VPN and had shared ships overlapping. So you've more than likely traced the wrong guy FYI.

3) This isn't a case sensitive "cheat" (ie crash sensitive, server backdoor, an injection, server threatening/critical gameplay exploit, unfixable exploits, etcetc) - this is an incident that has happened in the past with players in general.

Infact, this is one of those incidents where you need to clarify, that doing this is not permitted. You might even get funny newer people trying it out too because players will try to outsmart the system.

Yes it's pretty obvious you shouldn't be doing this, but you'll always get funny guys who aren't too aware of how things work here since it's an RP server. You don't need permaban people for that - a warning or at the very least make their guns drop off/credit sink. This was a type of thing that was announced before anyway. This is something we can try to fix via game mechanics but o well.

Also you (staff) did get more additional evidence in the form of chatlogs, but whether its acceptable or not is up to you.
