"I was wrongly accused of cheating ..."

Life is so unfair, isn't it. There you are, having played for a long time, practiced a lot to sharpen your skills and after a long time you finally earning the fruits of your efforts by becoming a pretty good player and then that:

Some idiots accuse you of cheating just because your repertoire is a bit larger than the one of Joe Pub and you can perform a few stunts which are pretty impressive.

I can imagine that this is annoying. And I know there are people who carry the word 'cheating' on the tip of their tongues for various reasons.

Some people just can't deal with defeat and because they think they're l33t themselves they expect everybody owning them to be cheating.

Then again the newer players have not yet realized the full capabilities of the engine and the game and what moves are possible.

But we also have to face the fact that a lot of people are just paranoid by now because they know that cheats exist, perhaps know what kind of cheats exist and maybe have witnessed cheats before.

Cheating has become way too common today.

So if I run into somebody who plays suspiciously well, especially by shooting exceptionally well or by anticipating my moves frequently I will become suspicious as well. Unlike others I would not yell 'cheater' as long as I would not be absolutely sure, but I will always consider the possibility that somebody could cheat.

Innocent until proven guilty, yes! But also a suspect until proven innocent.

So all you l33t players who are annoyed by being accused of cheating: I understand you. But always remember that the major blame lies not with the people who accuse you of cheating but those cheaters who gave them reasons to suspect cheating in the first place.

Instead of being angry on the person who mistook your skill for a cheat rather be angry on all those people who create and use cheats in the first place.

If no cheats would exist,then you could put off those people crying 'cheat' as idiots. But as it is otherwise - sadly - don't mistake the victim for the culprit.
