Maybe you missed the intention. This isn't a test. We're not suffering of Altzheimer's (the majority of us). There are still people (evidently seen in this topic) who enjoy lagshot - and not all of them are admins (let alone one admin), and this is a weekend-long event just for them.
ive never said i thought its a test or claimed anyone forgetting the previous test periods. i probably indeed missed the intention - thats why ive asked (twice) the reason of changing it without getting any response. to me it just seems an admin took the initiative and suggested to change it just because he likes it and thats what bothered me - we had discussions/polls/test periods about it in the past and it concluded with keeping skinhit.
I understand what you're saying Zai although I disagree about the skill part. I also think the positives of Lagshot heavily outweigh the nevatives. Most of it having to do with the current aimbot problem. Theres even a shady little youtube video of you on LVP that looks like you're cheating. Atleast on Lagshot we'd know you couldn't do that.
In my opinion lagshot would make LW a better more competitive server. You know who the good players are and you don't have to worry about them using aimbot.
Thanks for the post -=Captain=- you said what i wanted to say but couldn't be bothered to write it all.
everyone have different opinions, thats normal. i dont blame u for prefering lagshot and indeed the aimbot problem is more difficult with skinhit... nowadays theres also this no-recoil cheat that wont spread your bullets etc. fortunately ive seen few lw admins doing great job detecting fishy players, and as ive always said im convinced that all cheaters are caught eventually... just a matter of time.. ok thats a bit offtopic sry xD
also... about me cheating - always flattering to see your skills being compared with cheats
my gta-sa/samp have always been clean and stock without any mods - but thats getting too offtopic, we can continue this discussion with PM's if needed
i still think it takes skill to be able to shoot at a moving skin.. aswell as moving sking where u have to aim in front of him - just the exception u dont have to assume where will he be after 0.3sec (for 300ping example)
anyway, the real point here is that it bothered me because u guys just changed it overnight without any notifications...
it would have kept my posts out of this topic if it was made in a form a la "hey guys we'd like to change to lagshot for a weekend, what you think?"
