Technical issues have nothing to do with QL popularity. When LoL was launched it was so bugged, we couldn't start match for hours, and look at it now - most popular online game in the world.

Quake is dead for a lot of reasons, one of the most important of them is that it requires shit tons of skill to comfortably play. And even then you are usually very tense, since the game requires your full focus every second of the match. It's not tanks where everything is so slow even sloths can play it. It's high paced, very config-perfection and aim demanding, very positional and most importantly - it punishes for any issues with those skills tremendously.

There's no good educational way to start playing QL, and there're no servers with players of your skill at your are if you are not a veteran. To make it worse, most of players veteran are pretty arogant - they kick and ban inferior players with no words and explanations, never try to help them and after that hope that QL will be filled with fresh blood to make a huge user base which will lead with high pro-gaming fee for them.

So, players can install tanks or DoTA 2 and play it with their friends at Friday evening drinking beer. It is not demanding and they always can find competition of their skill level (including other lazy players with beer). So , community grows, and where there's a community, there are money for tournaments and pro-gaming.

QL on the other hand has absolutely no room for beginners or generally not top-skilled in their region players. If developers could manage enough free public servers with enough low skilled players, then the fresh blood would start coming into game, because game actually looks pretty stylish and beautiful and just by watching it you can understand how perfected and polished it is.

But the problem is - there are not enough players for beginners to play with and there's no way to play duels on adequate maps without buying Premium. Yes, the public servers that are always up have a very crappy map pool, you can't vote for maps there and there are very few of them. I don't know why ID does it this way, it's a very bad strategy for the game.

but this seems like a relatively serious matter to discuss at a party. which makes me wonder: are you that debbie downer that wants to talk about friends that got busted for drugs at a party, or are you the guy that wants to play Twister with hot bitches and good booze? because it seems like you, in fact, might be the debbie downer here.

People like avek dont get raped in german prisons and i highly doubt he will get raped in polish prison.
But that's besides the point really. I like avek a lot too, i played a lot of cs with him lately and he is really nice and funny guy. But if it is true that he was dealing drugs, while im very sad he was so stupid to do it, i dont share the sentiment of gienon that he shouldnt be jailed for it. From what I can gather from the article its not backyard weed dealing, but organized crime circle...

edit: I just saw article at bottom that says that guns and most drugs were found in the apartment of some 39-year old dude. I misunderstood the article in op, it sounded to me like they were all busted together... Considering that I take back what I said, avek is probably gonna get fucked with way too hard punishment :/

Well... people need to get this kind of stuff from someone, because they want to. It is social role to supply customers that fill the gap. If it was legal there would be no problem. To make it straight, people should go to jail only for making BAD things, e.g. hurting people, stealing, killing.

If you ever bought marijuana you kind of support what they do and you should not blame them at same time not blaming yourself.

They are evading taxes, i.e. stealing from the state and the population.

edit: Don't pretend like they are selling the drugs for the greater good of society. They are deliberately and systematically committing crimes in order to make money. We could have a different discussion if they were giving the drugs away for free (and e.g. to people who need marijuana as medication).

So we should remove all regulation and let supermarkets sell you asbestos infused food? I mean, you can choose what sort of risk you want to take, right?

Why would a supermarket want to put asbestos in food?

The idea of "regulation" is a somewhat nebulous concept. There are many examples of third party verification/certification of products/services aside from government regulations. The highest automobile safety standards, for example, come form the IIHS, a private organization. 'Organic food' is certified by private entities. A civil court system can also provide 'regulation' without the need for prescriptive bureaucracy. Someone sells asbestos as food, you sue them out of business.

The government wouldn't let you. What you suggest is simply not possible. Almost anywhere in the world, they'd stop you with force if you tried -- first, put you in jail, and if you resist that, kill you.

It's lovely when little tyrants like you suggest they know best, and take away other people's options, ivnariably "in their own interest".

Because every individual is dumb, the party knows best!

And then call people with other views "retards", to show who's the boss! Damn kids.

Just so we're on the same page, have you now redirected your complaints from poisonous substances to addictive ones? So poisonous and not addictive ones do not warrant caging someone after all? Well, even if so, you might have to rethink your stance on bagels - perhaps those merciless bakers deserve being enslaved if there are more studies confirming such a hypothesis.

Also, there remains a question to what extent drugs' addictiveness is attributable to the substance itself and how much are the additives being put deliberately in it responsible for. IF it's predominantly the latter, the major driver of addictiveness is prohibition itself. I haven't researched it but you clearly should, since you seem to have such strong opinions about addictiveness being the main reason for criminalizing drugs.

Just read the translation of the official Police press release on the subject. This part:

Search homes and arrest in Osterode

Last Tuesday of realization came at a time up to three homes that police officers chosen some during their work. In total, there were secured around two kilograms of drugs, arrested three residents Ostroda interrelated in launder criminal. Among those detained in age from 24 to 30 years are the store seller, as well as world champion in computer games a few years ago. But in the meantime, he decided to change the "profession" and to deal with drug trafficking. Detainees in this case the men were taken to police custody.

Trop led to Podlasie. There dozen kg of drugs, weapons, ammunition and tablets acute potency

In this criminal action did not end. Later that same day, investigators have determined the main supplier of the drug on the market ostródzki. In the area of &#8203;&#8203;Ostróda Zambrowa criminals supported by officers of the Police Headquarters in Olsztyn and Bialystok, using the SWAT entered the apartment Matthias N. There, during the search were protected, inter alia, 10.5 kilograms of marijuana, more than 1.5 kilograms of amphetamines, several thousand tablets of ecstasy, 1200 probably on the potency pills, nearly 70 thousand and two revolvers, more than 100 pieces of live ammunition, body armor and a balaclava. 39-year-old surprised when did not resist arrest. Came after police custody in Osterode. Police findings also indicated that the man had already been punished not only for drug offenses, but also for the robberies.


So they arrested 3 local distributors then those got arrested then they got the main supplier? Oh shit son, somebody snitched, one of them is going to get their dick cut off.

I have a couple of school buddies convicted in separate drug trials. Both of them were first time offenders. One of them was caught with 150 grams of marijuana and a digital scale and he decided not to snitch on his supplier. He got a year in prison. The other guy was caught with 100 grams of meth and he snitched and got 3 years of probation. You dont snitch to cops, you snitch to prosecution which in turn asks for a more mild sentence for you. It all comes down to the value of information you have and your attorneys negotiations skills. Also its easy giving the "stand your ground" kind of advice when you're not facing a decade in prison.

"amphetamines, ecstasy...those are relatively harmless drugs" - where are you getting your information? last time i checked, crystal meth is an amphetamine (do i need to say more?), and people regularly die from taking ecstasy (albeit that's typically from adulterants, not the actual MDMA). but regardless of those facts, the reality is that if you deal in large quantities of substances that society deems as "bad", you're gonna get fucked, and individual claims of "bullshit" mean nothing, as it is society that determines what's bullshit and what's not.

but i'm right with you - it's sad to see such a negative turn in life for these guys (av3k or not, not really important)

So there was this massive media panic in the Netherlands because there were a couple of deaths at a dance festival and since all the cool uni educated twenty-somethings are using xtc (according to said media) it had to be ODs. But then some pesky real journalists did their research and guess what, in actuality. people very, very, very rarely die of xtc.

A 1/2 minute search showed amphetamines are also still used as legal prescribed drug. crystal meth ist a methamphetamine. not the same.

Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands directly or indirectly in every country every year. it's one of the worst drugs, so I can have an educated opinion without knowing the details.

the argument that drugs are bad because they are not pure is in fact a counter-argument against prohibition.

society in many cases such as this does not determine what's bullshit and what's not: the whole prohibition stems from finantial interests from pharmaceutical companies, not from votes or educated public opinion
there is a majority for legalizing soft drugs, ie. natural plants, but still prohibition stays.

a 1/2 minute (more like 3 second) search showed crystal meth is methamphetamine, and that amphetamines and methamphetamine are quite similar (source). i'll grant that i misspoke in saying "crystal meth is an amphetamine"...you're right, it's not.

and nobody was disputing that alcohol is a very dangerous drug - both to individuals, and to the well-being of society as a whole. but i'm definitely disputing the claim that amphetamines and ecstasy are relatively harmless. and i'd also go so far as to say that big pharma is just a large influencing factor on society when it comes to questions like this, so to say that "society" doesn't doesn't choose what's bullshit and what's not isn't quite right, it's just that "society" is heavily influenced in those decisions.

now don't get me wrong, i certainly believe that big pharma and the money/power they wield plays far too large a role in determining what's good/bad, but even if you took them out of the picture, there would still naturally be "bad" substances out there (as determined by society), and the people illegally dealing in those "bad" substances would be subject to the rule of law. which, with or without big pharma, is also a construct of society.

jeez, i didn't realize we were gonna get this deep - i rarely am pushed to defend my point of view so much, so props for the questions and disputes! i'll be interested to hear your responses.

I think we pretty much go along with our position on illigal drugs.
Harmless, harmful, that's a matter of definition. Water can be poisonous, anything too much is unhealthy..

I think prohibition makes no sense, only education and help/supervision does. Society as a whole and for an individual would profit from a open eyed stance on drugs, without any prohibition.

Poison is not illegal ffs.

Where we seem to differ is your perception some or any society chooses the prohibition of substances in broad agreement or by 'logic'. I disagree if that was your point.
Cannabis, alcohol, cocaine prohibition showed us the reasons are not to protect a person from oneself, a ridicolous concept if you think about it. Also for countries which pretend to aim for a maximum amount of freedom for the individual, this is quite the opposite.

No I think any society was manipulated into agreeing, or simply not opposing those laws. Like today with so many environmental laws, ownership laws, patent laws etc. pp. (most of them make no sense and act against the common good but big companies profit from them).

Another reason for prohibition is added control and aligned thinking (or the lack of), but now this would go way too far...

In the case of pot, society has already figured out prohibition was wrongheaded. The notion that laws that don't even have the support of a simple majority can be on the books is pretty ridiculous. At least the original alcohol prohibition in the U.S. was implemented with a constitutional amendment, making it slightly closer to a consensus decision... Marijuana prohibition continues despite the fact that only a minority still want it illegal.

Although i dont agree with your views on harmfulnes of those drugs, that is not the main point in these cases. They got caught with a large stash of illegal substance which they were gonna sell and aquire a big sum of money without paying any taxes and possibly poison a bunch of people in the process as there is no real qualiy control over illegal drugs. What they were doing is irresponsible, dangerous, imoral and on top of all that illegal

I don't agree with you on your view that what they're doing is irresponsible and immoral. In the end, there is and has always been a big demand for these substances, which doesn't just dissapear by making them illegal. People can research and decide for themselves what they put in their bodies. Making the substances illegal (which also causes the drugs to sometimes be of dangerous quality) instead of providing proper education on the risks of using the substances is what causes most of the problems surrounding drugs.

Having said that, if this is indeed Av3k, I'm sad to know he's going to end up in jail :(

But do remember, since darknet market has popped up and pretty much anyone can start dealing, people will only go to the guy with the best reputation, as soon as something goes wrong. Starting to give poor quality or something harmful that is not the drug. Even selling wrong drug(nBome instead of LSD) No one will buy from them and all they worked for. They do actually have to work hard to prove themselves to be a valid dealer. All that will be gone and have to start from the bottom again.

Street dealers are different though, also why I think darknet market is a good thing. There's no Hells Angels there to scare any competitors off, since they would have no clue on how to find these internet dealers. So people have to sell the best possible quality they can to earn money, or else people will just go to the competitor.

Sure, there's actually something like that happening with a legal drug atm. Killing teenagers. When some of the hardcore druggies are warning people about it, you know it's quite bad. The problem with that drug is that there's 7 different sorts of it with the same name, the original one that became illegal was actually pretty safe.

Then some heavier "more potent" stuff came into the market and people started dying left to right. Spice is the name(I think).

In another semi-legal market (nootropics) they've started doing something really good, they have a 3rd party testing different internet stores for bad stuff and good randomly. Some have been busted and gone bankrupt after it.

All supermarkets do is put products on the shelves it's not up to them to guarantee that packed meat from XY is not infused with bacteria and what not, that's the job of the XY manufaturer and they undergo regular testing.

And yes from time to time they catch a bad seed and they are fined or even trialed if the cases are severe.

Just the other month a pate manufacturer had to withdraw the full month of pate produce, because they found pork in a chicken only pate, which is against regulations, naturally.

Next to them losing about tons of money on that, they probably got fined and possibly sued.

If you're smart enough to decide if drugs are good for you and take them responsibly, then for sure you're smart enough to not get caught buying.

From what I understood from the article they raided 3 appartments at the same time, and it's not clear if all of them sold the same products. For all we know it could be he only sold weed and had nothing to do with the guns.

so one guy with the stash and weapons and the others were (his) small time weed dealers? hm, stupid to even have that much drugs around you and/or apparently sell out of your own home (their own store?) in a small town :/
In total, there were secured around two kilograms of drugs, arrested three residents Ostroda interrelated in launder criminal. Among those detained in age from 24 to 30 years are the store seller, as well as world champion in computer games a few years ago.
As determined by the investigators, the people of Ostróda took drugs "on loan" from Matthias N., and the charge for interconnection with him only when the goods sold.
+ one of them then snitched on their supplier? ;)
Later that same day, investigators have determined the main supplier of the drug on the market.

So you're defending drug dealers here, amazing. Dealers who sell drugs to kids, who beat the shit out, or even murder a kid because he owes them $100 etc.

Get serious, we all smoke or take drugs in the majority, we know what we're doing, but to pick up dealing and shit is a whole different level. And not once did I admire or aspired to be like the guy I'm buying my weed from, and in my eyes he's still scum, scum that sells me weed, but I know he sells it to everyone, even 10 year olds if they come knocking.

What's next, declaring Escobar a savoir of mankind and an angel?

Ofcourse i'm not defending the kind of drug dealers that sell to kids and murder. Or do you honestly think every drug distributer does these things?

You tell me you're buying weed of a guy who would sell to 10yo kids. Maybe stop supporting him and start growing your own stuff if you want to make a change, instead of crying on the internet.Fucking hypocrit.

I might be a hypocrit, but I'm not a drug dealers and unlike you morons am not excusing someone because he was a Quake player lol.

And yes, I bought my weed back in the day from a guy, I don't do that anymore, I got past all the drug thing being fancy, I smoke from time to time, when I hang with friends, but that's about it.

And yes, I'm a hypocrit, but I wont cry after a drug dealer being busted, and yes I throw all dealers in the same basket, if you start your criminal path like that, there's only a small step to become even worse to a degree you should be locked up for life.


Also I notice you're the guy comparing drug dealing and taking drugs, with drinking beer, so we can end this debate right here, because if you don't see the difference, I rather not waste my cells on your inferior intellect.

Dealers are scum taking advantage of drug prohibition for financial gain. Some of em are big time shitheatds who sell it to kids, some even murder people and use the drug money to finance human traficking, weapons and assasinations. Those of em who just sell to adoults and make money of it are the least bad of em but are still scum, just like any other smugler, illegal bookie and such

All the problems surounding the drug market are the result of the flawed drug policy. As long as a dealer doesnt sell to kids and doesnt knowingly sell 'laced' stuff, there is absolutely nothing scum about them in my eyes.

No, that is indeed not immoral. It would be more immoral to just accept and obey and yield to everything the government decides. Fact is, people want to use drugs. Somebody's got to create them, somebody's got to distribute them. Atm the only way is the illegal way, distributers dont have the power to change this, politicians / voters do

Well it's not that simple either. A lot of growers and the like don't want legalization because it means government involvement on how they run things and let's be real here, not many people go into the drug business so the government can tell them what to do. In part, they have a valid concern. Remember that law the dutch government tried to pass (don't know if what actually happened to that in the end) to ban weed with more than 15% THC, not only was that law flawed because it would've been impossible to enforce (considering THC testing isn't that accurate) but it could cause a recriminalization of strong strains.The only justification for that law was (excuse me for saying it in dutch): "Het is troep."

Now don't get me wrong, personally, I actually believe dutch weed has become way too strong (I only smoke hashish these days), but these kinds of misinformed measures will only serve to aggravate the problem, rather than solve it.

tl;dr: legalization is a double-edged sword

The argument is/was rather simple: Effort doesn't determine income. With all things equal, yes greater effort will lead to greater income, but it's not the prevailing factor. You say "work hard", I say "work smart". I'm not sure why you think selling drugs is any different than other sales jobs, nor can I see much difference between a small scale drug production operation and other types of small scale manufacturing. The irony is that if drugs were legalized, as they should be, the small scale producers/sellers wouldn't be in business, due to inherent economies of scale. Risk/hazard is another factor in compensation, and since drugs are illegal, the risk/reward is relatively high.

You just said it your self - "if drugs were legalized, as they should be, the small scale producers/sellers wouldn't be in business, due to inherent economies of scale"

Due to lack of competition anyone can do it and there is nothing else so profitable that anyone can do. I know a few people that deal or used to deal and none except one of em have the mental capacity to do anything other than a minimum wage drone job while none of em have the work ethic to work any normal job. Dealing drugs takes no skill and no sweat. pretty much all people i know, that arent drug dealers, would be better at dealing than the dealers i know, they are just not stupid enough to take that risk

You realize how stupid it is. He decided to become a criminal, he did illegal stuff, people get jailed for that, end of story. He might be a great Quake player, that doesn't give him a get out of jail free card and the thing he did was stupid, so if he decided to throw his life away, what do we have to do with it.

Obviously you can't have a normal discussion here, when see comments like yours who don't seem to see anything wrong with what this guy did.

You are trying to convince us that because he was a great Quake player, we should support his criminal antics, if not support at least look past them.

And I'm simply telling you as someone who is not in his teens anymore and has his own kids, I don't want anything to do with criminals or drug dealers. I didn't have respect for that guy, because I didn't know him personally, I though he's a great gamer just like you did, but now I think of him as the problem of our society - imagining guys like him, deals stuff to my kids, endangering them - No! Sorry, I can not look past it, and I find it offensive to many degrees that there is people like you who try to tell me otherwise. There's a reason there are rules in a society and he broke a couple of them right there, he probably wasn't forced with a gun to his temple to start drug dealing, it was on his own volition, and saying that he didn't have any other options is simply put - bullshit.

And lets not forget, drug addicts and their enablers are the worst kind of persons, they rob, rape, kill all for a quick fix or profit. I wish you'd never experience that, but if you get robbed by a druggie, remember that he was robbing you so that he could buy another round from his favourite drug dealer - it's a circle you know, a vicious one.

And while drug addicts are just stupid and their actions mostly driven by addition, drug dealers are calculated criminals and their actions driven by profit and with that said, should be treated as such, and if they get caught I applaud to the police and don't feel any sympathy for them at all.

The first two paragraphs again you imply things that are simply not true.

I do in no way condone dealing.
Only that 10-15 years prison, the same sentence as manslaughter, is exrtremely harsh for what he seemingly actually did, selling WEED (as someone in this thread now stated, the other drugs were probably even only by associacion)
What a horrible outlook. Then idiots in this thread even make tasteless jokes about it.

Regarding kids, you are a bad parent if your kids buy and use drugs. Period. Don't shift the blame please, no dealer forces anyone to buy drugs.
Your kids are more likely endangered by traffic, sexual predators, poisonous food, accidents etc. life is dangerous.

But if drugs were legalized, there would be many posibilities to better prevent kids from getting drugs. Also to educate the society without the scare lies. Same as it is with alcohol. Not to mention dealers would almost cease to exist as the high (no pun intnded) profit margin would be gone.

Do not mix up junkies with recreational drug use. Funnily enough I was robbed by a junkie once. He was going to steal my bike but I could avoid it.
If drugs weren't illegal, he could seek or even get offered or, in tough cases forced upon the help he needs. But prohibition makes that very hard.

Some drug dealers are calculated criminals, some (like the weed dealer that makes some money on the side but hardly enough to even have a decent lifestyle) are not. Life is not black and white no matter how hard you try to convince yourself.

Good post.

The reason av3k and friends got caught is bc theyre small fishes. The big ones arent caught, are in bed with police, and do massive $$$. Prohibition doesnt fix the problems, it makes it worse. Because prohibited items become more valuable, and so it becomes a better biz option. Also prohibition means drugs arent tested/regulated, so consumers end doing themselves more harm than they should.

Hey man,

if he really is involved, which, as I see it, is not entirely confirmed, AND considering that he might read through ESR-entries/threads (which I think he said once): seeing these kinds of pictures might just strengthen the negativity that has already gotten hold of him.
He'd only feel more of the same shit that he is trying to avoid/run away from: insufficiency/inferiority.
A self-realised and internally structured / harmonious human being would not to indulge in criminal activities. While giving feedback and receiving life lessons is extremely important, I don't feel like this kind of public humiliation would be of any help.

What are you trying to achieve? Humouring yourself and others by belittling someone that seems to have reached his individual low/crisis in life?

Or are you aiming for an educational effect? Helping him by reflecting the ugly truth? If you were, then, like I said, I don't believe this would help.

I've read your response to crea's comment: "dude, just because you wanna suck his "e-sports" dick doesnt mean I cant joke about it" and I didn't like it. You just assume to know his motives. I could either call this narrow-mindedness or a simple case of projection.

What I am trying to say is: if you're a mature being, you'll not try to hurt this psychologically burdened being any further by humiliating him, but instead try to be helpful / respectful.

Peace out

Man youre speaking of him as if he is a child or an imbecil. I doubt he woudl want you to treat him as such. Hes a grown man and if he made bad choices. I hope that he can suck it up and deal with the consequences and become a better person after this experience. If he didnt get caught theres a strong possibility hed never get out of it and could even get killed in the process. Getting caught isnt the worst thing in these cases. Anyway, if he ends up not being involved i will buy him a year of pro subscription :)

So he's been dealing drugs since at least 2012.

Other than that, his only other activities were "going to the gym" and "education". Seeing that he didn't specify what kind of education he's getting, it is a rather safe bet that he isn't actually getting a meaningful one.

In conclusion, it's very likely that he has been making a living solely out of drug dealing for the last 4-5 years. What a terrible life decision which will now take its toll. :(

that is a gross simplification.

there are bad people in every part of society. there are also good responsible dealers. as one example, there are priests who destoy youngsters. Religion should be prohibited...?
should fps games be prohibited and the dealers persecuted because of the school shootings?
good luck following through with that logic. it is not reasonable to put blame on a whole group because of the misdoings of a few.

what is criminalized and taboo cannot be controlled or handled properly. that is what we see from those documentaries you mention.

Also you indirectly compare dealers of heroin and really killer drugs with dealers of marijuana, amphetamine and ecstacy here.
there is not only black and white...

on some side notes,
the reasons for substance abuse in the sense of the word are plentifold. these documentaries you mention are truly a sad case, but youth gets on the wrong path in many ways, the availability of drugs is not a cause, but a symptom of the prohibition.
If the more harmless substances were not illegal, but obtainable for responsible adults, the dealing marked would not not exist like it does and younsters would a not get anything as easily

african kids kill themselfes with glue. it is not even illegal. prohibit glue, make glue dealing a fellony? see how short sighted that is?.

when drugs are not illegal anymore, there will be no underground market with all kinds of stuff.ironically the prohibition makes the easy availability, not vice versa.

You have good points. I think most people agree that prohibition is a problematic and short-sighted way of handling drugs that are popular and relatively harmless. This is off-topic, though, isn't it?

Dealers aren't spearheading a public campaign against prohibition. They are merely criminals, selling illegal drugs to anyone who wants them.

If they were giving away marijuana for free to people who are in chronic pain as a sign of public protest? I'd be totally cool with that and I'd be sad to see them go to prison.

But, that's not what they do. They are de facto full-time criminals. They deserve to be punished by law.

edit: Does the law need to be changed? I think so. However, keep in mind that these guys are actually taking advantage of the current law. If the drugs weren't illegal, they wouldn't be able to make that much money selling them. They are willfully exploiting the drugs' illegality for their profits by committing crimes. It's a risk-reward scenario they obviously found attractive. Now they have to face the consequences.

It was pretty off-topic. The reason is that these topics are all entangled with another.

I agree it was against the law and driven by risk-reward.

I still think the damage to society in this case was minor, if any it was not caused by the dealers directly.So the punishment is over the top.
Manslaughter woukd have the same min. prison sentence!

... and it also doesn't really matter, because drug dealers know what they are getting into. It's not like they would expect a light slap on the hand for dealing with drugs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

College only makes sense if you want to work in medicine, law of construction industries, which are heavily regulated. In other cases it's a waste of money.

police wasting time on litle meat instead of big mafia, just to make the people belive that they (police/gov) are doing something while they are managed the other way around.

I hope tho that he will do his punishment like a man and go out with something positif which i highly doubt, because nowadays prison is school of crime.

He could use time to have a degree in prison or something valuable, i know thats what prisoners were forced to do in Lybia before OTAN and shity France decided to genocide it.

bad decisions with probably bad people around him with no wisdom, he wasn't poor tho, he is from a rich family.

Sad, lets hope his futur gets brighter.

It's just that they wouldn't attend without the donations, because lets face it it's a stupid business move, there's other priorities and none is invested into the game enough, plus free money is always nice.

Reading this thread made me wonder about some of the people posting here. Av3k had so many "friends" on this board.
I'm not saying that he is not responsible (or his parents, RL friend, etc), but still, his life is probably permanently ruined, and true friends do not let things like that happen to each other.
He spent his entire youth playing quake among us, and if that really means nothing, then idk what does. Something really went bad there, and none of us saw it coming, not even the "smart" ones who are used to know everybody and everything around here.

I don't know what happened, so I can't judge atm if he deserves punishment or not, but (if all this is true) it really saddens me that the Quake community lost such a great talent. He was one of the bests.

No one could really know, not like he would go around talking about it openly, then when he got the question it often sounded quite normal, studying and gym. I mean, it can also depend on the guys you hang out with.

I can easily see how my life could've been different now if I kept hanging out with some particular kind of people when I was younger. Let's not forget that, that it can be quite tempting for many people if they have a nearby friend that always shows up in his fancy car, clothes going on vacation when he feels like it and so on and so on.

But how could we know really?

Tons of people are bad especially those who are often playing the anonymous alias game on the internet. like playing quake. Easy to hide identities.If the people who you're talking to give you simple answers like "studying, gym, hanging out" that's bullshit. There's more to it than that. Life has a huge story and it's never simple answers. They go by the assumption that the other people who talk casually to them do not care what they are really up to. That's why there are many suspected criminals among the quakelive community. There are number of people with criminal history that i don't want to bring up. Even rapha seems like a criminal, a thug.

I wasn't there and I'm also not a judge, so I don't know if he is guilty or not or if he deserves what is about to come, but lets be assured that it will be very bad, and I just can't joke about the suffering of others, even if they happen to deserve it.

I'm not saying that my side of view is better than yours ofc (probably isn't, since I'm the minority here), but I just can't help it, sorry about that.

Something really went bad there, and none of us saw it coming, not even the "smart" ones who are used to know everybody and everything around here.

Did you watch his interview with 2GD and fazz that had been linked above?
http://www.twitch.tv/thegdstudio/b/321041382?t=3m

I find it fairly obvious that both 2GD and fazz realize that his "businesses" aren't legal. Fazz even asks him "Do you sell protection?", i.e. protection money in organized crime.

So, I think that some people realized what's going on. I don't know if anyone actually tried to infer interfere, though.

I don't think any of this was meant serious or that they indeed realized anything there.

2GD made drug jokes 24/7 as a caster, it's kind of his thing. On the other side there was a polish kid we knew at a good 100lbs that was now a roided monster. couple that with the typical racist undertones about criminality in poland and it's obvious that 2GD and fazz were joking.

I think this has little to do with friendship and awareness. There was a real problem to solve if you wanted to help him: offer/find him a job, help him move out of his city/country.

To be honest it's not easy at all. I've been in contact with him multiple times in the past three years, and a recurring topic was he coming to Switzerland. I was ready to host him at my place, at one point the trip was planned but he had to cancel last minute. We discussed it again, but what was putting everyone off was the difficulty he would have had once arrived here. I had contacts in construction through family, but none of the people I talked to was very supportive. In general this is a country where many people want (and vote) to avoid exactly this kind situation.

So, more than people not caring, it's simply that it's not simple. There also the part where he made a number of wrong choices, and yes, a bit of guilt/sadness, because months passed between efforts.

I was talking about some of the people and not all of them, and I also said that I (too) can't provide "smart" answers here, perhaps there aren't any. You clearly tired, but you always do more (if not most) than the rest, so I did not have any doubt about you. You are a good person, a type I rarely meet here tbh, so please don't change.

We both know that stupid people can't be top players in Quake, and Av3k was no exception, so it must be bad company then, and that's why I asked about his friends here.The so called eastern part of the EU became terribly poor and hopeless in the last decade, and I can see how self-unfolding the taken path might have been to him there, but still... in situations like this, one starts to wonder if more could have been done to alter things towards a better ending.

Sure. About 1.4 million Polish children living in poverty (according to an official 2014 study).
Yea, that surely wouldn't apply to a small Polish town like Ostroda which is consistently far from being one of the prospering region of the country DGP wise, and where unenployment rate of adults below 25 years of age is probably around of above 25 percent (since it was 22.6% in the whole country last year)… right?

Except for the border regions, most foreigners working in Switzerland have high level of education, and come as experts in their fields. In the past there have been waves of people coming for basic jobs, but that's a market that changes widely over the years, and when there's no need for that, most people are not really supportive.

"MrNice Seedbank founder & breeder Scott Blakey, aka Shantibaba, has been sentenced to four years imprisonment by a court in Lugano, Switzerland. He was convicted of bringing cannabis genetics into Switzerland that could be used to further the production of an illegal drug!

With a Masters in Biology and a love of cannabis, Scott's track record is world class. He established his reputation working for the Sensi Seed Bank, where he developed Northern Lights # 5 x Haze and Big Bud, multi award winning
varieties of cannabis and two of the best known strains available.

Scott then moved on to co-found the Greenhouse Seed Company, where he developed the 'White' line: White Widow, White Rhino, White Shark, etc"

none of you know the reality of living in poland.
its easy to judge when you are from western europe.
remember when avek made an interview and said this in it:

"u mnie chlopaki z podstawówki nr 4, by ich z ulicy w butach i z komorka; nie wypuscili :D, a tacy sa zaradni i madrzy zyciowo :( ojejcia :ASdasd. "

everyone made fun of him
'you didnt grow up in ghetto, stop talking shit' '
well, he didnt grow up in a castle as well.
you wont ever understand it - this is the reality in pl - you are either a pc faggot or you are a man - trying to make a living.
grow up - quake isnt real - its some old game.
leave it - lets go and make some business.
business - feel it? the power in that word...
money & drugs are real

that being said - i hope it will somehow turn out ok for him, he will grow from this, come back to play quake - he will reunite all players in one new quake game and it will become the best, the most amazing and the most important games of all. He will be the One that saves the Quake - just as ancient prophecy predicted...
i like happy endings

All started in their teenage years and all took decisions along the way. He didn't remain 14 for ten years.

In the same or similar position as the other pros that Avek is the only quake pro that took that route, while all the others did not.

Mind you he earned a ton for his age in his teenage years and in his early twenties, so poverty is not an excuse at all. It isn't either a so called lack of opportunities, for example read memento's post.


In the end Avek is 24 years old, period. He has full control of his actions , understands the concept of consequences and that what he is doing is morally and legally wrong.

It is absolutely disgusting that people are actually defending drug dealing and making it appear like it is no big deal.

Poisoning and killing people is a big deal. You stop poison from supply.

The people who use drugs are weak and destroying themselves. No matter how it is managed, it is mercy for them to make it more difficult for them to acquire it.

Selling chemicals that alter your brain functions is just as retarded as using it. But people are illogical failures who will use something that hinders their machine instead of enhancing it.

From a pure logical perspective, drugs are full retard.

Now onto my next point. Allot of people here are weak and have a twisted perspective of morals. And it is these people who fall into bullshit like selling drugs and crime.

Society has rotten because of easy punishments and decline of morality.

Anything to do with poison deserves harsh punishment. GMO, nature destruction, consistent food poison (mc), drugs anything of this sort should be dealt with swiftly.

In conclusion, no empathy for criminals.

the defending you mention is something you made up in your mind. what people are defending is the memory of avek as a great guy and player. it is tainted yes, but he is not suddenly the antichrist and should be crucified.

Poison is sold in every drug store or garden supplies shop. Alcohol can be bought legally, one of the most deadly drugs (as it is actually poisonous).

McDonalds and the likes kill more people then drugs do, but are cheered on by the state

Drugs have always been prt of human life from the very beginning, as the huge majority comes directly from plants, mushrooms.
animals take drugs if they can (prominent example catnip :>)

Harsh punishment has no influence on rate of criminal behavior, see death sentence. in this case it even highers the potential amount of money that could be made by drug dealing.

your views are unreasonable., maybe try to control your fears and OCD.
also a shame you have to post anonymous. not the guts to discuss under a username

First lets get one thing straight, Av3k was once of my fav players to watch in Quake.

As far as my criticizing is not for Av3k per se, but my disappointment of people in here and their perception or lack of the seriousness of drugs.

Personally as I stated above, drugs that harm your machine in any way are completely illogical to me.

That is why I don't drink, eat McDonalds, do drugs, smoke etc.

I try to live a healthy lifestyle to keep my mind fresh but also to conquer stupid decisions. A war against yourself against stupid decisions is the first step to success.

Now as far as poison being sold everywhere, that doesn't make it ok.

Everything that kills and poisons you is "natural". Cyanide is natural, it doesn't come from space.

The distinction that needs to be made is that everything that science can prove that harms you is poison and should be regulated. (Mercy for the weak who are not making sound decisions)

That is why ideally gmo, mcdonalds, alcohol should be banned imo. (There is a reason allot of the rich elites have organic gardens and do not eat the food the majority are eating)

But then again if you want to be a loser and a sheep and poison yourself and destroy your life when you have great potential (av3k), then go ahead, you will find a way.

And to your last point, believe it or not I actually do not have an account in this site even though I have been following it past few years. I only make my appearance here and there on controversial threads.

I am known here as the "french anon" :)

Yes, also we need to ban all other kinds of risky substances, tools or behaviors:
- gasoline, glue and spray cans
- all kinds of weapons, power tools and shovels,
- any sport that is done in water or on mountains
- any sport that involves high adrenaline output

Since it is very complicated to determine what is too dangerous for the general public, we will select a great leader (maybe even you), who will decide on a case by case basis and who will tell us how to live.

But then again if you want to be a loser and a sheep[...]
Either you want to be a "sheep abusing shepherd" or you want to be a sheep that gets fucked by the shepherds just so it does not have to think on its own.
In either case: mind your own business and don't interfere with mine. Don't tread on me.

I am not advocating a full fledged central planning here, I was talking almost exclusively about food.

You can't stop people from making bad decisions, but what is fair is to inform everyone of what is going on.

There is a reason lately McDonalds is starting to go under. People have gained knowledge about it and food in general and are trying to make better choices.

As far as central planning goes, there will always be people who will try to push what they think its right if they have the power to do it. Just as the same as others would like to bent laws to coincide with their desires.

So you will always have a clash as long as we differ in our values and perception of what we deem is right and wrong.

The only variable in this equation is who has the power to impose his will. So like it or not you will tread on someone or someone will tread on you.

If you trying to walk the right path you want to control the criminals ""like little girls"and vice versa.

I agree that we are in dire need of honest information, especially when it comes to food. But requiring honest labels and banning misleading advertisement is not the same thing as banning the product.

I also should add, I am not trying to portray things as black and white.

As far as a person goes, Av3k was very likeable. And I was actually sad last night when I got this news. Sad because of the bad decisions he made and the consequences he will suffer because of it.

It really sucks that he went down this path, because it is a destructive path.

I was merely criticizing the deed and the bad actions, cause other than that Avek like I said was likeable.

The reason why I went with the poison rant is because of the problem we are facing now as a society. Majority of people now are becoming failures who are indulging in drugs. It is taking society down as a whole. Allot of the morons who take drugs here will be the generations of tomorrow, quality down folks.

It is my strong opinion good decisions come from educating not regulating.
Prohibition creates much more problems then it solves. Drugs or things announced illegal for possession will still be sold even with ridiculously high sentences, they even amplify the problem because it makes it more profitable to sell. poland is the best example.

Regarding a bad path, it surely is portrayed that way in mainstream media. The scapegoat 'drugs' is all set up and ready to be pulled out of the drawer at any time it is convenient

Think of the fifties to seventies, when cocaine, weed, lsd was not regulated. Society did not go downhill or degrade then,, It will not today.
But prohibition with over the top sentences generates an underground marked mainly run by real criminals out for pure profit. this is a recipe for desaster.
The "war on drugs" might make people believe there is a devil, named drugs to blame for many misbehaviors. But let's be real drug 'abuse' is a symptom of problems within a society, and even the psyche.. Recreational use of softer drugs on the other hand is just that, a pasttime to make our life more enjoyable. Life is dangerous, at the end we all die.
With this in mind I think no state should dictate what you can and cannot consume. But they should of course put the tax money to better use and educate and help not to use the dangerous stuff (and free the others)

There are also many lies and myths circulating, often stirred by governments themselfes. There was a time when children were told weed makes you blind, impotent, a criminal and addicted at first try (and probably much more bs)

One last thing about addictive behavior: humans are programmed for addiction. All pleasure is addictive, in any forms. Knowing this it does not make much sense to single out some substances when the real issue is our bodies and as you said the way we chose to treat it.

i grew up in the ghetto as a permastoned immigrant youngster and from time to time i still get lifted; alone, with my wife and/or with close friends. i never saw drug dealers as bad criminals. they provide a service to me while they risk their neck trying to get money. none of them ever forced me to buy their shit.

and now you nolife forum nerds show up acting like you never smoked weed, talking about the moral of the story and drawing dealers as the devil. you must have watched too much american tv, this would also explain why you believe in jail rapes as standard.
or maybe you grew up on cuddly pony farms and that is why you think robbing shoes stands for the need of smelly clothes with a wrong size rather than a humiliation by forcing someone to walk home barefoot.

if it really was av3k it is shit to hear he got busted and i hope he played a small role in that. i always was damn entertained whenever he appeared on streams; be it in the form of the legendary +forward player, the trolling commentator or the funny muscle-hobbit on his mission to hook up girls.

what was more masculine in quake?
a polish muscular drug dealer going +forward with mad combat skills
or
an american wimpy bible nerd going +back with boring item farming.

All of those are victim-less crimes. From a logical point of view there is no evil in making, owning or selling these items unless you do so with malicious intend or in order to supply persons who have clear intend of abusing them.

indeed

this is going to sound extremely biased, like nothing is on him, especially to all those sanctimonious, high horse riders, but I think this has been written enough, av3k has made a mistake and will be punished, I don't have any qualms with that.

now, I'll still throw out what's on my mind. because that's what internet is made for nowadays and I feel some points could be discussed further.

just "knowing" av3k through interviews and lan events, you know he wouldn't get caught in anything too nasty. that's the guy retiring live, apologizing because he disappointed the people supporting him. yeah I'm sure he'd willingly start selling meth to pregnant women... do you feel it adds up to what we've seen from him for years ?

he probably sold weed on a small scale because there's not much else he can do (does anybody know if he's gone further than high school ? not that it guarantees anything, but memento could "only" get him a job in construction, for example).

and to all those people pointing to other players who have a normal life : what would tox be doing without his family business ? what's spartie's job ? and killsen's ? what's rapha doing ? and these guys are in western europe/N.A, not poland. fazz and ddk dropped out of university and have been doing fine but you can't expect a 100% success rate. sure, fox and czm are at the other end of that specter, but winning dreamhack isn't worth a year salary in their country either.

maybe that puts some of cooller's interviews in perspective "e-sport bullshit" "I wouldn't let my kid play competitively" and that's coming from a guy who is doing well.

e-sport right now reminds me a bit of the first rambo movie :

Trautman: You're the last of an elite group, don't end it like this.

Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job parking cars!

(has that guy just quoted rambo in a thread about a former quake pro being arrested ? yeah, he did !)

a very unique skillset, you're undoubtedly smart but how does it translate ? what do you say during your job interview ? that you can time 3 items, keep tabs on your opponent's movements, stacks and weapons ? what does that land you ? a job as a waiter ? there's nothing at the end of that tunnel. I think only 2gd, strenx with his internship, stermy with his business ventures and ddk got something out of being "quake pros" in recent times.

of course it's a plus and you shouldn't expect competitive gaming to be a real career path, but instead of laughing, finger-pointing and judging, people should remember. remember this is a guy you've seen grow, who isn't a bad seed, yet his life took a wrong turn. I hope this tale will raise some concerns and won't just be dismissed as a "yeah a random polish guy ended up in jail because he started selling drugs once quake died" story

this is a a post I remember

I think what people seem oblivious to, or simply do not care, is what Cypher (or Avek, for the matter) is living at the moment.

They've been into Quake since they were teenagers, achieving results that would set them apart from 99.999% of their peers. This goes to all levels, from money (realize what it means to win 16000$ at Quakecon, as teenager, when you live in a country where the average salary is 300$), to traveling the world, to getting exposure to the public etc. And this was possible because of their talent and dedication; they put their lives into this.

Now they are in their twenties, and Quake can no longer support them. It's a turning point in their career, and not necessarily a good one. They live in countries where you don't have many opportunities, and may not really have options to move to a different country (Belarus is not in the EU regulations, for instance). Whatever level of education they have, for a non-esport job they have to compete with people that spent the last 10 years either in school or doing that job. This is very hard, even in easier, richer countries.

So, it is not a surprise if they have other things in their mind, if they are stressed and behave not exactly like gentlemen. It's a hard moment of their lives. Reducing this to "oh, he lost this or that and now rages" is plain stupid. Give them time, and they will sort out what to do professionally, and eventually go back to their former, happier, personalities.

To conclude, to me this is a measurement of the failure of esport today, and is precisely what good people should (and are) trying to change.
http://www.esreality.net/post/2413317/re-cyph...pid2413706

you make some money but that industry right now will chew you up and spit you out without a second thought. av3k made a wrong choice and will pay the price, no question. but it'd be very short sighted not to question how he ended there.

bonus question : if Alexey A didn't appear and faceit dropped quake, what would cypher (who graduated, btw) be doing right now ? same age, eastern europe, another youngster winning a lot in quake with question marks about his ability to land a proper job

Finally a post getting somewhat closer to the point.

It's also quite ridiculous how ppl here jump to conclusions. And I'm not even talking about "innocent until proven guilty". Even if he had dealt with weed, so what. There's a legalization wave going through the US right now. In Amsterdam, employees of hundreds of coffee shops make a living from selling weed. Kind of a joke, really, even without making alcohol and tobacco part of a more meaningful discussion.

Most astonishing though is how ppl who cheered him on yesterday seem now ready to drop him like a hot potato. Guess the fear is that this "news", if it is any, might bring a bad rap to those remaining pieces of a game they're so desperately clinging to.

And did anybody ask how he's doing right now? Whether he's having a support system, the means for a lawyer? Of course not. Hey avek! Just deliver a good show while everything's cool and when it isn't anymore just get the fuck off. Not our problem that you didn't make better use of all those years. That seems to be the attitude.

About the bonus question, as you said cypher took that money and decided to study, so without 125fps he would be working on what he studied. Most likely he plays quake and csgo on the side, while working and while consistently earning money in quake too (unlike avek in his last years).

About e-sports, I think that's not the problem itself. All other quake pros studied something or took the opportunity and money to start businesses, just like all sportsmen know their dedication to it is something temporary no matter how successful at it. Avek is the only one that fell into the so called e-sports bullshit you describe, while the rest do very, very well or at least aren't prosecuted for drug dealing :P, including many eastern euros.
The problem is not the activity paying good salaries, whatever it might be. The problem is the one that chooses to solely focus on it and not even have a plan b.

About his personal circumstances, I would have loved to have earned as much as he did at his age, even more so while being the best in the world at something. With that amount of money and that reputation (top universities and good jobs do care about that stuff) he could have become whatever he wanted in life, with effort of course. He still can, since he still is relatively young to study full time or he could work at something not illegal that requires little education. But nope, he wanted some easy money and become a millionaire fast and without any effort.
Also I don't know how anyone hasn't contradicted this in the whole thread, but being from eastern europe, south america or whatever doesn't mean becoming a drug dealer or having next to no opportunities, as so many people have implied here.

With both things said, the problem is not e-sports or his personal circumstances. Avek is the only one to blame here, for his own actions. What happened is that avek took the easy way out all his life and there's consequences for that. He dedicated his life to exclusively play videogames all day (no studies or work on the side), followed by drug dealing and being part of a band with loaded guns, meth and everything (criminal activities). Any adult and any family knows that will not end well for the 99.999% of people.

Umm, yeah. That's what the metaphor of "walking a mile in someone's shoes" stands for: understanding someone. Right?

Any my point was that you can't actually understand someone else's life without having lived it. Hence, you'll never really understand it.

So your argument is that unless you experience something directly, you cannot understand it? That's true in theory, but in practice our capacity for empathy allows us to adequately place ourselves into someone else's shoes. It's the main reason our society can function from day to day.

I agree with you and I think my actual intentions have been somewhat lost by now.

I wanted to point out that the principle of "don't judge anyone until you have walked a mile into his shoes" doesn't get us anywhere.

You can never actually walk in someone's shoes. You can, however, empathize with a person's experiences and intentions, compare a person's behavior with the behavior of persons who have lived a similar life, etc.

And that's what we do on a day to day basis when we judge people. That's what has happened in this thread: Judging people from the information available. Sure, our judgments can happen to be wrong if we lack crucial information. But there's nothing wrong with it per se.

Judging is always counterproductive. Judging is categorizing a person relative to your subjective set of values. It's a very easy way to live and everybody does it all the time, but when you actually want to make a positive change, you have to set aside your values and acknowledge the Other as a subject capable of their own perception of reality and try to see how that perception led to their actions, rather than just saying their actions are good or bad.

Then why does our legal system have judges? ;)

Joking aside, I'm using "judging" in its most positive definition here: Using all available information and coming to a conclusion. The judgment might be that I don't have enough information available to draw a conclusion.

edit: Or to put it another way: I don't judge behavior as good or bad, but rather as understandable or inappropriate given the context for that behavior. That context includes empathizing with a person's perception of the situation in which the person acts.

edit2: Your argument seems to be heading in a direction where there are no bad decisions, because each decision is motivated and justified by a person's individual perceptions. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Good and bad are irrelevant. They're abstract concepts people superimpose over reality to make sense of it. Which of the two they use is based on their view of morality, which is completely subjective in the end, whether people realize it or not. You can doubt every justification for a certain view on right and wrong until you're left with nothing. Religious morality is founded on the validity of whatever a particular religion holds sacred and intellectual morality is impossible because without something sacred that transcends all others you can't prioritize one value over another. Suppose you say individual freedom is the most important, well, what makes individual freedom a better principle than let's say putting family first? You can debate about that for days, but really, any argument will boil down to "because I say so."

Morality is functional. It allows us to quickly make decisions without significantly harming one another and therefore keeping society safer. However, situations will always arise where our intuitive understanding of morality fails and right and wrong become very murky. When that happens, blindly following a certain idea on what's right is not the solution. It will almost certainly only serve to aggravate the problem. Instead, you should rid yourself of your bias and try to look at the situation as it is, then try to figure out how to get to an agreeable outcome.

To go back to the situation that's at hand here: I think people should hold off on judging av3k one way or another and instead think hard about the why, so that similar situations can be avoided in the future.

You asked whether you misunderstood me. I felt like you did. I explained my argument in its entirety rather than sticking to one-liners like I usually do because "eh internet."

Let me be more specific. Whether avek's actions to get to this point are wrong, right, understandable, baller, tragic or anything is not what's important. What's important is that something made a bright kid risk years in prison -- or possibly worse -- for selling drugs (assuming he was involved in the actual dealing). What makes a person do that? If you figure that out, maybe you can prevent it next time and maybe you can turn him into a good citizen again.

So what you're saying is don't judge people involved in drugs, guns crime because you don't know what happened to lead them there.

You do realise there are people on this planet who have childhoods from hell and turned out to be successful honest people?

The implication that av3k has faced some kind life or death situation which forced him down this path is hilarious, he's been a pro gamer since a young age, travelled the world, he's had a better chance to make something of himself by 23 than most people have.

Not all people are educated in high moral standards, not all people are free of influence of crimial-minded peers, not all people are strong willed enough to resist temptation of easy money, not all people have full information on what opportunities are available, etc.

If you didn't grow up in ghetto with mafia friends, that doesn't mean you alone is responsible for the circumstances that lead you to criminal behaviour. Genes you're born with and environment in which you have grown up have enormous influence on your personality, values and decisions that you make, and you can't just change it all in a snap even if you know you're doing wrong things. If we all were in power to make our behaviour follow our best intentions, there would be no crime and no poverty and we'd be perfect utopian society of smart and healthy people.

Also you are assuming avek was poor growing up (with that esports money alone he wasn't), that a 24 year old man can't take decisions for his own and that being raised in a 'ghetto' = future drug dealer, lol.

I think I want to say that there's no point of searching for someone's fault in this, because it's wrong question to ask.

Being not poor doesn't really make you a better person, and if you think about it, people don't generally make decisions of their own. Any decision that you made is caused by information that you've been exposed to which is processed by strictures of your brain that have arisen partly by the programming written in your genes and partly by environment that was around (i.e. food, sleep schedule, education regime, bad/good parents or teachers, friends at school, etc). In all decisions that you make, there's very little of your own free will, because even something that you normally think as free will is actually enforced on you by your previous experiences.

So yes, it's sorta "society" but not because of av3k, but because EVERYTHING is mostly "society" in which people are mostly passive actors.

This thread is getting ridiculous, so apparently is not Av3k's fault at all now, its the society and the game that lead to the decisions he made. (cough, bs)

I think we need to understand one thing here, is that we all get tested in life.

Having money is also a grave test compared to poverty. It is very easy to completely derail yourself and make terrible decisions from vain desires especially if you have money and are around people that have money.

No matter where you are from, the family you are born into, the society, the schools you will attend, friends you make, one thing is for sure, during all this time you will have bad and good decisions that you will take.

You are being tested constantly in life, the point is to make the right decisions with what you got.

Selling drugs and engaging in criminal activity I would argue is not the right decision, because like Av3k will discover now will end up with you in jail and waste of potential.

Opportunity costs. I don't believe that Av3k did not have other options, because he would not be that good in Quake if he didn't have great potential for certain things.

I still believe that If he made better decisions he could lead a different life. Even if he wouldn't have made too much money, he could have found something else to do that's valuable.

But money is the core problem people get into illegal activities, majority of people nowadays value success solely on money you can earn, and everybody wants to be a playa.

The only plant in the world that produces cannabinoids. What a shame. Yes its ilegal still in most countries, but if you'd take the time to research why it became illegal in the first place (big pharma/cotton[dupont] corporations bought corrupt USA politicians in the '30 bc weed has an insane amount of medicinal value, also making the better fiber with the least amount of water needed and in record time etcetcetc) then this affair becomes even more sad.

I read the stuff people are smoking is GMO [*]. So much about natural unprocessed plant.

I'm for legalization but don't buy this bullshit about the stuff coming from nature.


[*] technically not "GMO" because it's not the modern method of "let's insert some genes using a virus". Instead it's "let's dowse this plant in toxins and give it cancer, then check if mutation raised level of THC, disregarding whatever other shit it might produce as well". Much much worse but GMF. Not even funny.

(The industrial fiber version that doesn't produce THC is actual GMO.)

Sorry, but you're misinformed about modern breeding technologies. No one does it like "mother nature" does, because it's useless and takes forever. It's all done by mutagens and viruses and other stuff, artificially introduced.

Generally, absolutely zero of the plants and animals you consume today is "natural". Actually, if someone gave you "natural" variety of some fruit or vegetable, you'd think he's trying to poison you. And today human population, consuming these artificially created variations, is the most healthy it has ever been in nature.

weed is bred to be strong.
Late flowering males have the recessive gene for potency.
In nature the weak early flowering males are what pollinate the females.
If you take white widow and let it go outdoors without culling males, each generation will get weaker and weaker

Fucking on point, respect to Thorin man, I watched it all and it was great to see him maintain the energy of his narrative and be always excited when talking about av3k... you could see he's a true fan of av3k and I am as well.

Also nice touch on not mentioning this idiot drama, you kept the class that way, I really hope av3k sees this man... what a gift. I don't give a fuck he got caught with some drugs... life is life... and I hope this helps him remember how much appreciation he's gained from the community throughout the years, regardless of the infant assholes taking the stabs at him.

I know this whole bs is still not fully confirmed (or at least lacking lots of info) but...

GL to you Av3k, hope for the best!

Yeah its a real coincidence he just happens to do a glowing analysis on PolandAv3k within 4 days of him being busted, after shitting on Polandpolish people a while back and getting fired and ostracised from various online circles. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the drama.

If anything thorin has used PolandAv3ks recent demise to try and undo some of the damage he did the last time he talked about PolandPolish people, when poles in particular would have been down the most about their little diamond and at their most vulnerable.

Fuck Stockholm syndrome, this is Scottish Syndrome!

If it wasn't PolandAv3k everyone would saying scumbag crim, drug dealer, gets busted, but because he played a computer game you like you're willing to change your whole belief system and even be understanding on behaviour you would have universally condemned beforehand, you're even willing to overlook the obvious timing of this video, you'll take anything and be grateful.

I don't see how you can accuse people of being backstabbing assholes for crapping on someone whose been busted for that.

I lik av3k too, and I don't dislike him now, I just find the reactions amusing from some people and thought observing them and detailing them would cause a bit more conflict and drama.

It is when skilled players test the maps with the devs/mappers to iron out the issues... To then do the opposite and use it to win more money than they could have otherwise.

No I'm not claiming they themselves found it, but apparently no other team knew of it, so they either found it or found out about it, either way gathering information about advantages of maps is pretty much a part of it. Not godboosts, but good positioning, which it unquestionable were.

Such a shame the sheeps got so mad about it, it was the coolest play I had seen in a long time. Only the enemy teams fault for not doing their research on the map imo. Peopled tried it in match making after that and instantly got shut down, but oh well :( According to recent interviews they have something specially planned for the poland event coming up now atleast :D many excite

It is a commonly known fact that flusha's crosshair locked to players which were not visible or audible to him with extraordinary frequency.

Unless someone comes up with a plausible explanation why and how this happened (in a legit way), we will just have to stick with the most reasonable theory so far - i.e. he uses aim assist as a way of information gathering.

This was all brought to light after smn getting busted and releasing the list of people who was customers of superx(or whatever his nick was), and he was on the list, so as soon as he did a suspicious shot on stream, people started investigating what wasn't there to begin with.

Indeed as you said yourself there was no clear peak in performance from him, rather a drop at the start of this year, which people claim to be him not using cheats anymore, but which might aswell just be a slump, the future will have to see where that goes.

Point anyway: Innocent until proven guilty, so all this slander is so high-school'ish.

2) still waiting for a plausible explanation why/how
3) why would the tick rate be important here? My understanding of this issue is that 16tick has less information, but the information which is there is correct. Thus if a lock-on is visible in 16 tick, it should be visible in 128 tick as well (but not vice versa).

He'd be banned if he was cheating.
as per Nzr0: you are either trolling or retarded. (Because there is only one aimbot per game, which can only be installed in one way...)

But all the accusations are just from clueless hater noobs ("And 9/11 was an inside-job."): Shoxie, C9, Penta

I don't have to give evidence to prove someone who hasn't been found guilty, to be innocent. He's innocent until proven otherwise, which he hasn't been.

It's just sad to see a community of 16 year olds who love shox and scream because they look like boyband icons turn on the greatest team of this era, only based on rumors. I'm not a fnatic fanboy despite being swedish, I just really dislike slander where it's not deserved.

Just because you think he is innocent doesn't give you the right to make up bullshit and claim that it is automatically true. That's not how "in dubio pro reo" works.

Lets sum up the facts:
- flusha aimlocks onto people through walls with high frequency
- nobody has offered an plausible legit explanation for this behavior yet
- as of now, we do not know other players (except olof) who display the same behavior

That's still not proof, from time to time someone does unique things in any walk of life that makes even decent players look bad.

If you want to prove someone is a cheat, simply get him to record himself playing, a cheat will always refuse, or demonstrate a level of skill below what they do when they are playing with cheats.

That's the best way to hang a cheater, what you've done is say if someone does something new, unique and effective, its good enough to hang them, that's only going to get you discredited, even if you are proven right on this particular instance, your theory of everything is wrong because YOU WILL one day come across someone who is just unique.

You're the one wasting peoples time by trying to hang other people via flawed methods (which are infallible because I have personally seen people defy logic in video games) and not willing to discuss more solid and universal methods for catching cheaters when they were offered to you.

Ironically in your attempt to condemn someone else, you've exposed yourself as someone whose got his head firm up his ass, whether someone was innocent or not, you would not entertain any other outcome than the one you've convinced yourself off.

But its an interesting example of how you misunderstand things and then base reactions off those misunderstandings.

I agree on innocent until proven guilty but "proven" in a legal context does not mean absolute certainty in a mathematical sense: the legal standard is "beyond reasonable doubt", not "beyond the shadow of a doubt".

Since neither you nor anyone else is able to bring forth any reasonable doubt, it is proven that flusha was indeed using cheats.

First you claim that they are not 100% sure, now that we have established that they are indeed, you suddenly state that their opinion does not matter. This is a classic "moving the goalpost" fallacy.

Apart from that: why do you think that your opinion is more valid than the verdict of several professional players?

Concerning tick-rate, refer to my previous posts, you still haven't answered this yet:
3) why would the tick rate be important here? My understanding of this issue is that 16tick has less information, but the information which is there is correct. Thus if a lock-on is visible in 16 tick, it should be visible in 128 tick as well (but not vice versa).

This discussion is mainly going nowhere, because your participation is limited to claims which you can not back up with data or which are easily proven wrong and dodging of any questions and facts which are inconvenient to your view on this topic.

Start putting some substance into your arguments and this discussion will suddenly become much more meaningful.

I see you have not recived the latest intel from reddit, let me tell you about this cheat *adjusts fedora*:

The cheat software cost between $10 000 and $20 000, bargin tbh.
It can be injected in many ways, in the beginning it was through gaming hardware but has since been upgraded to military graded bluetooth contact lenses which feeds the aim assist to your game to select a random target when you blink a certain way. So its not a good aimbot because then it would only lock onto the closest enemy through walls, but its intended that way to only give you some information about a random player, but the information will statistically be enough to ensure a map victory in the end, confirmed by a guy on reddit who does math stuff on wall street $$$.

If contact lenses are uncomfortable you can use it with the special edition watch or custom eye were of your choice, of course this means you would have to come up with a reason for using them if you werent before, rumors says bluetooth shirts possible to wear under your team one will be available soon.

100% undetected.
The coder is belived to be an ex-mosad special agent, rumored to have single handedly coded Stuxnet, currently working from outside moscow or poland.

I've seen some fucked up gifs man so you can trust me, 60-70% of the pro players are using an undetected cheat of some kind. Its everything from aim lock through walls, a small 5-10% increase in headshots/overall aim and sound hacks.

did you just fueled your argument with the implicit fact that you just keep living in the past, permanently?

did you just talk to me after I utterly destroyed you more than a year ago in what I call The destruction of Jammers, after you waited patiently for an opportunity to restart some form of interaction with me so you could try to resucitate part of your dismantled ego back?

did I just used "that" against you?

did you...?

Oh jam-jam... you never cease to amaze me boy!

Most people found out about Av3k on the 6th March via this thread.

By the 9th March Thorin had uploaded a 30 minute video blowing smoke up the guys ass, which would have taken time to prepare.
Which basically means he started making it as soon as this news hit, if you're that deluded to believe this was a coincidence then there is no help for you.

I'm happy to focus on positive stories, so long as my intelligence is not insulted with regards to the motive of it.

What intelligence?

Who the fuck said this was a coincidence? rofl, you just keep projecting no matter what. The truth of the matter is that Thorin's video on Av3k is just fucking great, and it had a proper timing, but you chose to believe that the motive behind the video was to self-boost or fix his reputation or something of that sort because that's what YOU would do...

How about he just decided to make the video after watching the rampant shitstorm Av3k was getting for this little drama and wanted to let the world know that there's a lot more behind Av3k than what's currently being said about him due to his recent bust? Not everyone in the world follows esports, and not every esport follower follows quake, and not every quake follower follows Av3k...

Maybe he just wanted to set a couple things straight about who this quaker really was?

"Maybe he just wanted to set a couple things straight about who this quaker really was?"

This time last year this very person was being dropped for shitting on polish people at a fairly biological level. It was partly trolling, but its clear he had a fairly shit opinion of Poland as a whole and enjoyed himself, until he realised he crossed the line.

http://www.dailydot.com/esports/duncan-shield...iem-fired/

Less than a year later and less than 3 days after Poland's most famous pro-gaming export gets done for being a CRIMINAL, he's making a glowing video of him and you're whining at me for questioning the timing and the real MOTIVE of it?

As for who this quaker really was, your refusal to accept the reality of who av3k really was is why you find yourself being torn to shreds by me once again.

Av3k was a pro-gamer AND<<<< a criminal. The latter is a difficult concept for some of you to swallow as are all inconvenient truths. This is not an opinion I formed from trolling, or lies or jealousy, its backed up av3ks own admission live on air, and the fact that he's been arrested.

There is a stream of av3k ADMITTING his dodgy activities, which goes back to Jun 2012 when Av3k was 21?

http://www.twitch.tv/thegdstudio/b/321041382?t=3m13s

And the chances are he's been involved in that underworld BEFORE this admission as he says "same as always".

You just cannot accept reality and would rather go after someone like me for telling the truth.

Do I believe av3k went around shooting people and beating them up, no he was probably a VERY SMALL fish in a big murky pond, but when you live by the sword you have to be prepared to die by it.

You seem more interested in trying to attack me than the point in hand, I don't feel like you've ever got the better of me in the past or present, which is probably why I am simply sticking to the point....

Yeah. Cause even though it's true that we make our own decisions, there is a river the whole of society has never crossed. Facing down our leaders is that river. Their position in life grants them impunity so pure they can brag about their unlawful behavior and still no one does anything. There are two kinds of people I guess. Those who lead and ignore moral obligation and those who are led for the sake of comfort and push their morality on the rest of the herd.

If it was false you would have credible sources denying this.

Too many coincidences for this to be fake, not to mention av3k as good as admitted that he's a dodgy mofo over 2 years ago on the 2GD show.

Chances are he's out on bail pending an investigation, I'm pretty sure if I was faced with the prospect of jail, I would have more pressing issues to deal with than random nerds on ESR who just want the dirt.

How come you can get legal drugs to get your dick high but not your head high?

How does one define what drug is legal and another one isn't without realising they are a prisoner in their own world?

Do whatever you have to do, and opposing forces will do whatever they have to do, and whatever happens, happens.
If you can't take shit then don't do shit, if you can take shit then do the shit.

Its all good.
