What's up with Powell? This is a serial Question..no flaming

Captain Canuck

Okay. I've been here for about a year now. I've seen all the skins etc that Powell has put out. They were good. Now, going on two months or so, all I've seen is his ass getting flamed. Did I miss something? I've read the vast majority of posts regarding him, even ones as benign as how much EA sucks gets Powell flamed in one way or another. It seems I can’t avoid reading something about Powell!

Like I said, I've read a lot of posts regarding Powell, and from my understanding he decided to 'turn to the darkside' as it were in regards to cheat mods and etc. But to what extend did he do this? Did he personally bring down servers? Or did he just have a shotbot? What did he do??

I'm not condoning anything he did, I just want to get this straight for my own mental well being; because its getting a little tiring to see all these posts calling him an asshole and cheater. I just want to know for once and all what he did and then I know not to even bother with the posts about him.

Thanks,

And remember, don't flame me. I just want a straight answer to a simple question...

I think powell was the guy that cheated so much and is trying to be a "good boy" now as strik0r puts it.
Did you miss that somehow? oOo:

I got that much, but what I mean is how bad did he cheat? Must have been something pretty major to have a whole community wanting your head on a stick.

ever heard of chameleon skins?

By saying that this is a "serial question", you severely weaken your point.

Powell has done some really good stuff and some really bad stuff. Unfortunately for him, he hears about the bad stuff most of the time.

Here is the deal :

someone told me about a cheat-site and i was curious about what things were out there. so i signed up and after about 3 weeks or so, i decided to start making some cheats myself, based off of the originals that had been put out. well after a few weeks of that, I came back to aa.com and said i was thru with cheating and whatnot and everything was fine, but the flames continued. i was allowed on the AAN server to play as long as I minded my manners. but with all the flaming and constant harassment (on and off the forums), i got sick of it and started using a SH command to reboot the AAN server over and over to piss them off (which was my big mistake). then i continued to make cheats until i finally got sick of ruining this game which i truly love to play (Middle of December '02), and made my final decision to help this game instead of ruining it. so i came back here and have been beaten verbally since while i continue to map and skin the game and help work on an anticheat program.

some people cant grasp that im here to help (permanently). They auto-assume that i am the reason the game is going down. What a crock of shit. yes i admit i was a stupid asshat before with switching sides n shit, but with all the flames under my belt, i have learned a few things.

1. respect is earned, definently not given.
2. it is much more rewarding to map n skin versus making cheats.
and 3. ive learned how much of a pain in the ass it can be to go up against a cheater, which i once was. at this point in time when I spot a cheater, i wanna fuckin' expose them but with no proof i cant do a damn thing.

thats about the jist of it all. believe what you want, but im here and there is no reason for me not to be. we are all on the same side in the longrun. gotta remember that.

thanks for listening and since i know you will all say "fuckin moron" and "your lying and you are ruining this game", i will just ignore your stupid bullshit as usual.

later.

Magnum: Hehe, yah missed that. I don't think it weakened my point, just proves that I don't spell check. biggrin:

Powell: Okay. I don't know what to say. The reason I ask is that all the posts that I've seen have always alluded to what you did, but never straight out said it. Now that it is clear, and you seem to know what you did.

Can't we all just get a long?? angel:

That may sound chiche, but its getting a little old. Does anyone have proof he has been up to his old tricks lately? But, again, who am I to say what everyone else should do or feel. I agree that cheaters ruin the game for others. I agree that something must be done, but to flame someone on a continuous basis doesn't do anything constructive.

The reason for the post was to find out for myself. So, I got my answer and I'll consider this post closed.

Lmfao. Some friends and I checked out a cheat site (which I will not post here) to test some of these things to see what Delator on our server would catch, and almost EVERYTHING had MPowell1944 on it. And it was very recent...... Hmmm hake:

tcd12642 · 02-02-2003, 10:43 PM

Sounds like proof.

snipeymagoo · 02-02-2003, 10:51 PM
