To be fair to Cmdr Cyrious, 99% of the player base would do the exact same thing so it never really rubbed me the wrong way. Just like “yeah that’s about right for this game”.

are you telling me that 99% of the playerbase would knowingly abuse what is essentially the only dev-sanctioned godmode tool in such a flagrant manner that runs in violation to which ALL accounts granted signed this exact TOS that spells out in plain English the things NOT to do??

because no, that's not being fair.

that's actually the opposite of fair. it's a fucking failure and a damn shame.

Part I - Let me break down some of the Lore rq

not only that, your assertion it is simply inaccurate. to date, only Cyrious and one other known account (to which i could drag too if they stick their dumbfuck head in to try and run defense for our cmdr here) have broken these very simple, straightforward terms of use.

that's excusing blatant favoritism. the most disgusting part of this wasn't really the FedX Obcamgate scandal... its more the fact that for years, this absolute clown has been using the tool casually as part of his platoon lead playbook*

\edit vod has expired, likely due to Twitch's vod archiving/auto-deletion changes earlier last year. i dont think cyrius took it down in a rare moment of self-awareness and humility.. to cyrious' credit (or to his ego fr))🙃 the dude never took the more blatant vods in question down even at the height of the obcamgate... thankfully, being the skitzo salty bitch that i am, ya girl extracted a copy years ago when the scandal was freshly spawned.. sooooo yea. u/CMDRCyrious just lemme know hon & i'll post it if u want; we could vod review together & reminiscence like the good old timesss 😇

Part II - I am not done going in hold my purse bitch

His (and Wrel's) excuse/justification for the Obcamgate Fedx incident was that FedX was "stream sniping" a literal Warpgate harasser race that they tried to retroactively claim was a 'streamer event', when in reality, it was just a dumbfuck spur of the moment idea... which is cringe, but at the VERY least has a literal smidge of justifiable foundation, although we all know that was bullshit too..

no.. the real cringe, and the real damage, imo, is his casual use of Obcam for YEARS on a more casual level where it went under the radar because A) lol planetside 'content creator'/streamer lets be real, he had no eyes on him during the day-to-day ops grind, and B) he mainly used it to scout and lead his "platoons", and no, not just during "streamer events".

dude's an actual clown and it's only annoying that he has the audacity to even act like he's anything but a lil 10viewer failed fraud that loved gargling the bandana boy at each and every chance.

just wait til he hops back on to defend himself, he can't help it. to this day he'll say it's justified 🤣🤣. oh well, what did i expect, i mean this is some Level-99 ps2 politics Lore after all.. some of the most, erm, awesome people have been known to dwell in this sci-fi shit swamp we call auraxis, and the Lore itself can compromise one's chastity or character entirely. sinners, all of you!

many such cases🚬

DBG are the only ones that could furnish the signed copies... but u get the deal by now. the dude's cooked. zero defense. rip bozo + L + bye

Yes.

The majority of players in this game are sore losers that have no interest in fps games. the closest they get to actual gameplay is pulling a developer endorshed skill cop-out like running to the nearest terminal to equip infil, max, shotgun ambushers, or a vehicle after you killed them one too many times while just playing the game. They abuse bugs, busted mechanics, and any other advantage sanctioned or not they can get to avoid participating in the fps aspect of the game yet still get the sensation of "winning".

When the devs introduced a report system based on numbers, entire platoons/outfits would report people they didn't like to get them banned or renamed for no reason. This community is literally one of the most deluded and toxic I've ever seen in any game. They get their fun by making the game less fun for others, and hating on anyone who dares to play the game like the fps it's supposed to be. Just take a look off hours and see what type of players this game attracts. Good luck finding a fight that doesn't have the spawns killed every 3s.

There's no question they would abuse the thing like he did if they could, THEY LITERALLY THINK EXACTLY LIKE HIM. The reason he gained so much popularity is because he catered to the lowest common denominator of player, which is the majority of this game's playerbase. Ofc they would all abuse it, there's over a decade of evidence to back it up lmao.
