Hitfixed clients

[jamz]

I haven't spoken to any other dev about this, but I think I'm speaking for them all (correct me if I'm wrong). Modifying your client binary, to give you an advantage over those with the default client, is cheating. That's it. Arguing that they could do it themselves without the mod is irrelevant. Arguing about graphics drivers, mice, monitors, whatever, is irrelevant. I hope this helps.
If tournaments want to have their own rules, that everybody taking part is happy to adhere to, that's fine, as long as any specially modified client doesn't get used on pub servers, or in private without informing opponents. Hell, Larry, if you made sure you told everyone in a private server what your client did before you played them, and they agreed that it was OK, that's fine too. But the same would be true if you told them you were going to use a no-spread client and they agreed.

Do you know what a certain, well-known, ex-dev did when he found out about this bug? He quit playing. (OK, maybe that wasn't the only reason, but I think it contributed.)
No, it's not ideal. Yes, we should fix it. Yes it should have been fixed long ago. Yes, it should never have happened in the first place. But none of this changes the present unhappy situation. Pleeeease don't cheat guys.
