Prankster: There are so many problems with aliasing that I won't even bother listing them all. They include, however, giving FFie a lot more work, and outright lying to others. And if lying isn't a punishable thing, nothing is.
Also, please refer to my long post where I mentioned it several times that this isn't a new rule. This is a rule that's been around for ages. But sure, let's say for a moment that "been around for ages" isn't a valid reason. As far as I know, aliasing is forbidden on TUS. You play TUS, so does most - if not all - of the players involved in aliasing cases. I kept being reminded during WO how popular and influential TUS is. "Hey, is this the TUS scheme?" "TUS rules?" I had occasions when people would tell me that something is allowed in TUS, so why isn't it allowed in WO, or why am I even complaining that they did what they did. It appeared that enthusiastic TUS players consider TUS the one and only source of rules, schemes and various other things. That being said, why is it that some people assumed the usage of Wormkit modules during WO games, even though the description didn't call for using them, was acceptable because it is in TUS, but none of you seem to have assumed aliasing may just be outruled in WO, as it is here - and rightfully so. Furthermore, again, as I said in my long post, it's not that you didn't get any warnings. Both sm0k and Tavo001 had been punished for aliasing, not entirely sure when, but definitely not towards the end of WO. Maybe even before the half point. You are saying, that none of you involved - either directly or indirectly - have ever taken a look at the player standings, notice sm0k - who was in the top 30, if not higher, so he most likely was visible for most of you unless your resolution is 800x600 -, notice him having a red score, get curious what it means, read the reason why he was penalized, and then put one and one together and think "herp derp aliasing isn't allowed"? Are you really saying that people like you guys, some of you who are so competitive it may well be unhealthy, have never did all this? I'd find that hard to believe. At least one of the eS members had to read it, and then go like "lololol sm0k got punished" with the rest of you wondering and then checking why. If you didn't, then... wow, it's a miracle you realized eS had more points than RoH, because it'd mean you were entirely oblivious to the standings.
You're saying punishments are unfair. I say aliasing is unfair. Punishments only affect a handful of people. Aliasing affects the entire community. Those who can't figure out which is more important don't deserve being part of the WA community, in my opinion.
