This feels just a TINY bit bias :joy:

The videos were looked at in staff chat and everyone agreed on a ban, don't put this on me and Tom only. Also this:

Spoiler

You hit me right there and have no proof against it.

 

And how would you - hell, how would any community member know if I'm biased?

Can people who think this actually talk to me for a change? People think I'm biased but give me absolutely no reasoning why they think I'm biased. I've had people complain about me apparently being biased behind my back so many times, but no-one has talked to me about it and explained why. I could clear up a lot of stuff if people actually talked to me and tried to sort out their problems with me, rather than just whining about it so they feel a little better about themselves.

Until people actually tell me what problems they have with me, I'm not going to take them seriously. It's as simple as that.

I don't think there's any confusion here, it's obvious to anyone who knows us that we hate each other. For the half-a-decade I've known you, you've constantly done things which, in my opinion, are a good enough reason for me to dislike you. What you recently did (i.e, harassed me for about a month whenever I was online, attempted to manipulate me (which you admitted to), spread rumours about one of the lowest points in my life) was the last thing you needed to do for me to be sure I probably can't ever trust or forgive you because you constantly break this trust and forgiveness.

However, that doesn't mean you can claim I'm bias whenever you're punished by me for breaking the rules. I am aware unconscious bias is a thing and after a couple of instances on Brawl where staff have been bias (either willingly or unwillingly), I always take extra effort to ensure this isn't a factor in any of my bans. Every ban on a ghost client hacker that I make is posted in Mod chat, for all staff members to review. After a couple of days, I take their opinions into consideration before deciding whether or not to make the ban. If 1-2 staff don't think it's hacks, then even if I do think it's hacking, I will get more evidence before banning them. When it's people who I obviously dislike, such as you or Nakatago, I try to make sure any contributing staff unanimously agree with me before I make a ban.

In this ban, I posted the evidence in Mod chat like I always do and another staff member tagged every Moderator we have. There has been absolutely no disagreement that you were hacking, both before and after you were banned. I could have told Carno "Hey, you can deal with this ban" and you still would have been banned for hacking.

As well as this, before you did this "bad stuff", I have banned you about 7 times. 2 times I remember them being false, 1 time I remember it being correct, and the rest I cannot remember in enough detail. Surely, if I'm only banning you because I'm biased after you did this "bad stuff" to me, I wouldn't have banned you so many times in the past?

No, I get about 80ms.

The sprint speed in Minecraft is about 5 blocks per second. With a combined ping of 200ms, or 1/5 of a second (an over-estimate), you'd appear about 1 block behind where you actually are. You got several 5, 6 and an 8 block hit on me according to my POV, and your own POV can only disprove aim-related hacks (such as aim assist, safe aura and in some cases, triggerbot) because misplace is a thing. (For people who don't know - misplace is a hack which changes the location of players you are hitting and, in some clients, your own location, on your POV. You can use this with other hacks to make it look like from your POV, you are legit. Misplace is a feature in the vast majority of ghost clients).

I've used max FOV since late 2012, when I first started taking PvP more seriously. There were rumours back then that using max FOV would increase your reach (which is completely false, it just appears to).

With a high FOV, blocks in your peripheral vision (such as the slabs in the bottom left corner which you pointed out) appear to be stretched out horizontally to you, and this effect is reduced the further away blocks are from you. To completely eliminate the FOV as a factor from this ban, go in-game on the map we were on (Aquafus V - ID is 381337) and count the blocks for yourself. In the screenshot in your thread, you can see I was standing at edge of where the slabs on the tree ends, and you were standing on slabs near the wall behind you.



Use whatever FOV you like - that's a 5/6 block hit. The amusing bit about this hit is that the 5/6 block hit conclusion doesn't even take ping into account. If you slow down the video you'll see that you were actually travelling backwards, therefore you appear about a block in front of where you actually were. So it's a 6/7 block hit. Also by slowing down the video, you can see that I had very, very little momentum, so it is not a factor which would change the fact that this hit was about double the legitimate hit distance.

I can illustrate and explain in detail my thought process on every single hit displayed in my video if you want me to.

 

Because this thread has resorted to flame and personal insults (in posts that have been removed), I'm locking this.

If anyone would like to see what the deleted posts are and what these personal insults are, please PM me and I will share them with you. I am not trying to cover anything up by removing them.

And, if anyone wants me to go over the evidence and explain my thought process again, I will do that. I'll do that with any ban I've made.
