Week 4 Matches Forced!
Back to top Back to main Skip to menuAll unscheduled matches for week 4 were forced for Sunday October 31 at 21.00 for the CTF league and 22.00 for the TS league. All matches challenged we forced for the day of the challenge. If you agree with your opponent on a new date and time, talk to your division supervisors or other staff in #urban-zone.
ABUSE OF LOCKED VALUES AND CVARS - Part 2
As we discovered more screenshots uploaded by St0rm of team Duff containing the much discussed abuse of an exploit (which can easily be viewed as a game hack) and possibly abuse of other cvars that are locked, we decided to suspend St0rm for 2 match weeks from both competitions on the basis of evidence provided from outside sources (in this case, Clanbase matches). Any further abuse of this particular exploit will be subject to stricter punishment for both the team and the player - in St0rm's case we decided there is a slight possibility he was not aware of the seriousness of his behavior. Simply said, leave obscure values that get reset constantly alone.
SCHEDULING and RESULTS
We would like to remind teams to schedule their matches and prevent conflicts with their opponents that way. All you need to do is check the date and time of your match and upload screenshots and demos after you play it, all of it in one place. Don't be lazy.
On a side note, this week we will be removing teams that have 3 no-shows. We apologize for the inconvenience and warn you ahead of time that your team - just like any other team that got a no-show forfeit win from one of these removed teams - will lose the points from the forfeited match.
BANS AND PENALTIES
We have issued our first set of bans for this season. The most discussed one - on KOS's }{iit - probably did not escape your attention, but }{iit wasn't the only one.
Team UMP themselves warned us - by accident - that their banned player, Goca, was playing again, both with a fake and with his real name. Their accidentally honest action resulted in two forfeit losses for UMP and a repeated ban for the hero of this story himself.
Due to a small lapse in communication, we did not notice a ban processed from the French community and by the UAA relating to Ogilvy/Trainer/DRK. After a revision of the demo submitted and banned by the UAA, we adopted the ban and let Ogilvy join the other cheaters on our banlist. Since this ban relates to an outside source, one of the teams involved will suffer no consequences. The story is different for team WAS. Since we confirmed that their clanleader, Taibshe, is iorek - a cheater well-known in the community (iorek, thank you very much for confessing in public you are a hacker - to explain: he zorbotted his real identity and some time ago he shared screenshots containing his radar) - WAS collected their second team ban and thus a ban from Urban Zone. Congratulations and many thanks, gentlemen. We would have had a harder time banning you without your help.
As you may have noticed, last week we transferred most of our old bans to this website. However, team penalties as well as a few old bans for which we haven't found current accounts are still in effect and listed in the old banlist - see HERE. All current bans are listed in your competition menu, in BANS.
We have reached the middle of the season and the fighting is getting more and more intense. Please remember that this still is a game and you are human beings - play fair and have fun. Have a good week.
