You don't need to ask me. Simply presenting a position in a way that suggests "I'll just throw it out there and make it stronger" doesn't make it more convincing. Compare, for example, how Dirty writes in this thread, sharing some of your views, and how you do it. Your posts are simply unpleasant to read. Although I don't rule out that your initial intention is for them to be irritating. I understand.
Regarding all these arguments about bug exploitation and the cohort of "true" players, I remembered a post by one of the moderators of the Heroesportal website, who was previously an active participant in offline tournaments and a person who repeatedly took prize-winning places in these very tournaments, including competing with some of the people mentioned in this thread. So, Symphony Messes, in a thread about the Paragon map, writes that in one of his playthroughs for himself (not in a tournament), he used methods that violated the rules of offline tournaments (obviously, including the Admiral's hat bug). But I didn't notice any wave of outrage under his post or exclusion from tournaments based on this fact. Or a sharp casualization of everyone around
It was just fun for him to play that way.
I can still understand when claims are made against players if they are unable to complete a map without bug exploitation; there is some reason for that. But both wenwell and sanyassh have proven themselves to be people who have a good understanding of the game. In that case, let them do playthroughs, even if they stand on their heads; it won't say anything about their gaming level, and even less about the gaming level of other people in the thread.
