ToL's future and the importance of FoL

#41

But now I am familiar with what it is in specific situations

#42

Which helps me to avoid it

#43

Which is a really bad thing. Rules have to be clearly defined.

#44

the nature of angleshooting makes it impossible to fully define in a way that applies to every possible case.

#45

it is different depending on the situation, in which there are many.

#46

I’ll shorten how Angleshooting works in my mind down to one sentence:

  • If it’s not mentioned in the game thread, don’t use it.

The “angleshooting the host” part boils down to ‘stay in the spirit of the game’ by not trying to argue why a host does something.

#47

And new, unprecedented kinds of situations can appear at any time.

#48

This is the core of it

#49

So angleshooting = what cheating is in ToL?

but there can never be a full definition, because there are different gray areas in different situations.

#51

9/10 times yes

#52

In many respects, yes.

#53

the 1/10 times is where the ambiguity is

#54

I’d say it’s more like 8/2, but okay.

#55

You cannot punish for unwritten = unknown rules, that would be unjust, so~

#56

It does happen in the ambiguous cases. It’s ultimately the discretion of the host.

#57

It’s only popped up once in my games and I didn’t punsh for it.

Instead I just responded in such a way that they got 0 information out of it anyways

#58

Which is a bad thing. The host shouldn’t be the one who determines it… that makes the rules of every match differently.

#59

If it’s unwritten, it’s the host’s interpretation that trumps the players.
