@Z-Man
No need to give this clown (swag, just in case you didn't realise that all the stupid aliases are him) any reasoning for your actions. While we are on the subject, it would be nice if we could rid him from these forums and the game. I mean, we actually had to move to a Ladle server the other night due to his bots ruining the game (just in case you didn't know he has programmed bots which can camp in a zone, well, kind of). Ok, so his bots aren't super intelligent and neither is he, but he is becoming rather annoying now. Can we get rid of him? Pretty please?

Maybe, well, I know this is impossible, but if we tried to reason with him or convince him to go ruin other people's day in another game, because frankly, arma isn't as big as it used to be, and there aren't that many people to annoy anymore, if swag wants to be big again, he should go to CSGO *counter-strike global offensive* and program auto-aim bots, ping people and track their IP, DDoS servers, etc. He would probably become more known if he moved on to a larger game...

When reading this post, I hear "swag should go bother everybody else, but not us". Do you really think other people won't be annoyed in other games?

Also, does he want to be "more known"? It seems like more sightseers to get him in trouble. Swag is not really as scary as you seem to think though, he's mostly a (minor) annoyance.

On the other hand, you are correct that tron has quite a few less players than it used to. Maybe the thing here with swag is familiarity. He can continue trolling the same people because he knows how to trigger them. If he moves on to a larger game, they may just ignore him and he may not get the (negative, maybe positive to him) attention he seems to want.

Also since armagetron is open source, he doesn't have to bother hacking to see how the network play works. I'm of course not suggesting tron not to be open source as being open source is good thing and has allowed a fork in the past and lots of improvements that may not otherwise be there.

As pointed out in the past, it is impossible to get rid of somebody completely. You can ban them from the master and the forums but they can still use other server lists and servers. You can ban him from a server but he'll end up changing his IP eventually.

I know this, I'm just really pointing out my wishes in an ideal world. However, if there are things that we can do to make his efforts harder, then I'm all for that.

If he were to go to a bigger gaming community, preferably one with commercial backing, the FBI might start caring enough to prosecute him. Which is probably why he wouldn't go anyway, but it would be nice.

Chances are his botnet wouldn't be big enough to take down anything like that anyways. I doubt it really has anything to do with fears of being caught at this point. They do things like attacking home hosted servers, or at least cheap VPS's, which doesn't take a whole lot to interfere with.

Yes, he has a little dick. Not sure you're agreeing with that statement, but to me, it really looks like that's what you're saying.

SWAG HAS A TINY DICK.

Any ladies following this, you probably want to avoid having sex with Swag, unless you're up for anal, because he has no dick. But if you're up for anal, and you can get off with just a pinky, go ahead and let Swag do it for you. If that works, more power to you!

But obviously Swag has no penis. Or at least not one worth talking about.

I'm going to make the assumption at this point that Lucifer's account is not him, or he's gone off the deep end.

Pft, You all just disgust me. Swag, ZuLu, Rookie... all the same. I start to wonder if this guy is a mental case in real life pretending to be multiple characters in order to satisfy his own harsh reality.
