This is the smartest thread I have ever seen.

Soap, by your logic, the SMG is a hack. Back before it was ever in, people changed the firing rate of the rifle to shoot faster. Therefore, the SMG is just a hacked rifle.

No it isn't, I never even TALKED about the SMG. -________________-' I'm not even stating any logic of my own, I'm stating the faults of YOUR logic. And yeah, that's because they HACKED it. Hacking IS changing the settings and coding of the game so that it functions in a different way. So if they did that, then a Semi that can fire as fast as an SMG IS a hack. You're saying to just ALLOW that hack to be available NOT AS A HACK, BUT AS AN OPTION. So if you're against a hack like that, then you should be against the setting that would allow it, for they accomplish the same thing.

But it's no longer a hack if it's in the game. They don't have to alter anything past the config file.

It doesn't matter if it's a hack or not Reuben. Hackers use hacks to ACHIEVE ADVANTAGES. That's why we all hate hackers. We don't hate them because they know code; heck, I ENCOURAGE kids knowing how to code. But them using those skills to ACHIEVE ADVANTAGES is what I don't like, and is the same for everything else. Your idea is the same- to GIVE PEOPLE ADVANTAGES. Again, nobody likes it when the other team has ADVANTAGES. Hacking is merely the method to obtain those advantages.

And if it's in the game, and everyone has it, it's not an advantage, now is it?

Hey, guys, I think soap believes this is a serious thread...

@Reverend I'm serious about Reuben actually suggesting to use it in LEGIT servers... -_______-' I have no problem w/ it in "joke servers", but by the sounds of it, Reuben is saying that he wants this implemented in the WHOLE GAME...

@Reuben Then the game would be ruined entirely; it wouldn't even be CLOSE to AoS. It would be "Hax0red AoS". And I don't know about you guys, but I would rather stick to normal AoS because it's simply better and more fun. Hacking your way to victory is just boring...

That's exactly what I'm saying. To imply that everyone having the same thing is an advantage is ridiculous.

YES
Do it.
It would rid of the "hacking" problem and everyone would be happy!
Not to mention everyone would have equal opportunity to have these extra features!

^I like this guy.

If this stops Soap's infernal emotes then it's a +1 for me.

Everyone has the same advantages=Nobody has no advantage.

We all have the same advantages now, don't we?

We all have access to the same Rifle, SMG, and Shotgun.
We all have access to a universal Shovel.
We all have access to 50 blocks no more no less.
We all have access to grenades.
Therefore we have no advantage over one another than our skills.

But server admins have God Blocks, Flying, and Invisibility. Therefore they have an advantage over us and are the real hackers.

Brilliant

@Reuben It isn't, I'm not even trying to SAY anything LIKE that. Quit talkign about irrelevant things. The thing is that YOU could do this and make a completely different game, because it would just be AoS with COMPLETELY different settings. But people play games for fun and because they're challenging, not because they need an advanatage to win in the first place.

@Yorkshire

Your later comment about the "no advantages" is correct, and a game like AoS should ONLY be based around skills as your advantages, for those are the only purely fair "advantages" one can have when it comes to a multiplayer video game like AoS. Again, having the features just for FUN would be okay with me, but to implement them into legitimate games would be a TERRIBLE idea because of my reasons I've already stated.

@Everyon calling me a Troll when I'm only being logical about this

*middle-finger to all of you*

@People complaining about the emotes

You get used to mah emotes b!tches. =w=

@Soap

This is a joke, if you weren't aware. -__________________________________________-

Soap, your argument is still flawed. It's not an advantage.

@BooBoo Well considering that Reuben hasn't admitted that yet makes me think otherwise man... Once HE tells me that it's not serious, THEN I'll believe you, because his persisitence says otherwise.

@Reuben

"Soap, your argument is still flawed."

Best arguement since WWII.

/sarcasm

I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY IT'S AN ADVANTAGE BY DOING THAT, I'M TRYING TO SAY THAT CHANGING THE ASPECTS OF THE GAME LIKE THAT WOULD RUIN TEH GAME COMPLETELY BECAUSE IT WOULD COMPLETELY ELIMINATE EVERY FUN PART OF THE GAME THAT IS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED.

Now shut up already Reuben, I still have a lot of homework to do and it's 10:30 over here.

If anything, one asshat on a server aimbotting everything ruins the game. How would everyone being equal ruin the game?

Soap, chill. Allow me to introduce you to a concept called sarcasm.

Not that anyone's been using that in this thread or anything.

There you go, one neat example. Contemplate it logically and eventually you'll realize what's going on.

Back to your homework, whippersnapper!

Let's put it in a scenario then:

[Everybody activates aimbotting]

You: O-[ABd]-G-[ABd]-S-[ABd]...
Everybody else: ^

AKA it would just be like you getting massacred by other people w/ hacks, but this time, EVERYBODY is using those advantages, including you, but it's not nearly enough to actually get you anywhere. Also notice that it basically lacks any gameplay from the actual PLAYER, so...

...

If you can't understand how making it so that the game takes virtually no effort or can't be played at all ruins the point of it, then just go play this "fantasy" of a game alone.

Your tears are delicious, Soap. Could you cry up a bit more so I can finish my meal?

Soap, seriously, you might want to shut up before you make even more of a fool of yourself.

Didn't I just clearly state that this whole thread was a joke? I doubt Reuben was any more serious than I was (although I won't blame him, at least not too much, if he denies any humor so he can go on making you look even more foolish).

This is a fantastic idea!

this idea is better than aids :D

what if we have a map with hacks turned on so hackers can do what the feck they want to on that one map

Reuben is a natural troll. Post a clearly sarcastic topic, get raged at. Bravo.

@soap

On the internet, yes it can be hard to tell if someone joking/being sarcastic, but Reuben has made it very clear he is joking. Now stop making a fool out of yourself.

@Everybody One thing about me: I'M SERIOUS. Don't take sarcasm and joking well unless they actually say it. That's why I don't like to deal w/ trolls like Reuben or Dany0, as you guys can see. So yeah, thanks for trying to "defend" (?) me from him, but honestly, I just don't even know anymore. Normally I have to deal w/ direct insults and other crap, but it gets really annoying when I have situations like this and nobody actually tells me that it's just trolling. So yeah, thanks for the memo guys, at least somebody did it in the end. :)

Hey, even BooBoo said it-

"On the internet, yes it can be hard to tell if someone joking/being sarcastic"

So yeah you guys probably know where I'm coming from. :P
