This is so random - Fofab - 03-02-2025
Steam Name: Fofab
Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:426459064
Who Banned You: BIIG_SAD
Reason For Ban: untrusted gameplay ban
Reason for admin to unban you: I'm gonna be honest this just feels so random to me. For starters the ban says it was made during 01/03/2025 which can't be possible since i was not banned throughout all of February. Second (and most importantly) i have no idea what untrusted gameplay ban means but according to BIIG_SAD himself he "issued a ban due to suspect of me using an exploit/tool for gameplay advantage" i have never used any kind of tool hack or anything to give myself an advantage in this game. I've been playing on here for years so to think i would just suddenly use anything like that is just false if you ask me (feel free to disagree). In conclusion i feel like my ban was unjustified and random if BIIG_SAD could maybe further explain why he thought this then maybe i could understand better but this still makes little sense to me.

Yes, all. to confirm, I issued the ban yesterday. no clue why its showing 1/3 (unless fofab read it backwards or its showing backwards).
to address you fofab, would you care to explain the following:
I think its really interesting especially in clip 2 you do a lot of looking in directions.... which happen to line up with hiding props.... and you run to em and kill them...... and theres like, no other searching, just beelining. you never bother to even look around. Its like you know that nobody else is hiding anywhere in that room. or as you go down the ladder. you get "hung up" on the ladder, and are looking at something. as the video goes on, you go down the ladder, kill a prop in line with where you are looking, fuck around a bit, then look at the chairs, and almost immediately eliminate another player at the chairs, again with little/no checking... either you have memorized this (and every other, including brand new, or then brand new) map with every prop (which is impressive, and kudos if this is the case), but I really don't buy that you know when to not search.
that being said, other people, please watch and give your opinions. Mine is just an opinion, but I have formed my opinions after seeing patterns in gameplay across these clips and other gameplay.
other contextual facts:
-fofab regularly out-hunts people using cheats/ghosting
-I was not initially suspicious until a player brought it to my attention that it was possible fofab was cheating.
-historical screenshots of Fofab show a GUI anomaly wherein parts of his GUi are not loaded correctly.

Additionally, as someone that watched some of these videos when they were recorded, and have spectated you (its odd that as soon as soneone starts watching you, you tend to use your grenade and die)

But i can assure you i'm not cheating/hacking let me try to put this in perspective before my time got deleted in recent times i had over 23 weeks on the server ontop the fact that im very passionate about games i enjoy yes im well aware that my behaviors and patterns look very suspicious to the point where it looks like i am cheating but honestly you can say the same about other players also (make of this as you will) i have a very strong memory after playing the same maps like a million times over consistently it only makes sense why i try and vote for the maps i enjoy so i can stack up kills. Now for my GUI it's possible this could be lag since my internet is getting old ontop of the fact that my computer is starting to crash a lot and it's usage is deteriorating. I'm not sure how i could prove to you i"m not cheating or using hacks to stack up kills but i will say this consider how a ton of other players like Mork Mork Norm Minder and a few other people who are also insanely good (better than me if you asked) and have been part of the community for longer than me. In conclusion this is a complete misunderstanding again i"m well aware that my behavior is suspicious but that's mainly me tryharding as for the part where you said "fuck around a bit, then look at the chairs, and almost immediately eliminate another player at the chairs, again with little/no checking" that's mainly because i like giving the prop i"m near a false sense of security that they are safe but i very much know that they are there also it can sometimes make for funny comments people make at me plus it helps so i don't need to use a grenade or rocket on them. As for the part where you said "fofab regularly out-hunts people using cheats/ghosting" that's mainly because the majority of ghosters/cheaters will try to be sneaky about their behavior so they think no one notices what their doing me on the otherhand i just play this guns ablazing checking all the spots i got memorised better so i can get kills before they do also a lot of the cheaters i've ran into can sometimes be slow they don't always hold the shift button like i do. So aside from all my yapping make of this as you will i would never cheat in a server i had over 23 weeks on for no reason like i stated im passionate about what i enjoy and got a very strong memory so make of everything as you will.(03-02-2025, 07:58 PM)Fofab Wrote: [post]Hi Fofab.

RE: This is so random - d33r - 03-02-2025
What about when you admitted to several people you were using low end graphic settings for an advantage
You also don't need to act modest, you've outclassed norm and mork for years with this same gameplay. there isn't a day that goes by where someone doesn't think you are cheating. Especially now when you usually say nothing in chat and just roam around killing everyone even in low population servers. Every clip ever of you looks like people who've been banned previously and it shocks me that dink didn't want you banned for the loss of money you probably cause him.
also "that's mainly because i like giving the prop I'm near a false sense of security" just sounds like an admission of guilt. so you do know where the props are and only do any sort of looking around just to mess with them? It's unbelievable really. not to mention you're score difference being that of thousands from second on global boards looks suspicious itself even with your massive hours.

How exactly is that unbelievable? It's not an admission of guilt i just remember where most things are in certain rooms/area and can spot them i don't see why you thought that at all clearly you play and view the game different than me so don't put words in my mouth please
Why is me not talking at all something you need to point out? Does it bother you i don't speak at all that's honestly a pointless to bring up that's like me asking someone why would they come back as staff when they stepped down after they were gone for just a month also (in my opinion) you're being a tad bit dramatic especially when you brought up dinks name.

How exactly is that unbelievable? You clearly play and view the game way different than me.

I am not talking about the present I am talking about the past. You were still top scoring them even then, I have the memories of you getting top player 10-15 times in a row before getting off or getting unlucky.
I think this answers itself, different view different opinion.
It just adds to the suspicion of you, I'm not saying it as a definitive claim. I've had other players tell me that it also seems suspicious of you to do.
I don't see the connection, someones feelings/time twords staffing isn't suspicious of their gameplay?
It's not dramatic its a somewhat serious thing, You constantly dominating the server actively makes players leave or not want to play. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he said something about you because of that.

wait whats wrong with turning down graphics stuff for an edge, out of curiosity? thats like...super common place in ttt so its weird to me that thats even something to comment on
