What ever happened to that mischievous hacker?

[AlgerWaterlow]

Altered client =/= hacked. Does it harm someone else's computer? No. It only makes gameplay unfair. I'm only miffed about peoples' overuse of the term "hacking".

As a computer science major, I find it rather humorous that some people equivocate coding with hacking. But the gamer world will think what it will! Who am I to change the goodness knows amount of Youtube videos calling hacks on someone in a game? Meh. :/

Various definitions of "Hack"
To use one's skill in computer programming to gain illegal or unauthorized access to a file or network
To alter (a computer program)
To write or refine computer programs skillfully.

As you claim Nodus is a recoded version of Minecraft:

Wouldn't that pretty much be a "Hacked" client?

These are all "Hacked" clients, even clients with only OptiFine installed, as they are "Altered" or "Refined"

However, you do prove a few valid points, and I thank you for pointing them out.
But you must remember that this is the MCG (MCGamer or MCSG) Community, and is allowed to make it's own rules, regulations, and terms: In this case, "Hack" refers to things such as Xray, Nodus, etc.

You forgot this one

He wasn't unlucky, it was his own fault for using hacks.

What I meant by "unlucky", was that some hackers on these servers can go weeks without getting caught, unlike Leafy, his time hacking was a mere 1 hour. It's kinda funny in a way, though.

"No offense to any of their fans, but they're not good enough at PvP to be a hacker."Not good enough at pvp to hack?

What? That makes absolutely no sense.

What? That makes absolutely no sense.

For my example, I will be using the name Potato to represent the person who's fighting the YouTuber.
The name Tomato will be given to the YouTuber, so that I don't have to mention any specific YouTuber.

So Tomato joins a game, and like 10 people go "OMG ITS TOMATO I LOVE YOU I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!"
Potato is just sitting there in the background, going "Awh man, now there's going to be like a team of 11."
Someone asks Tomato if he is going to be recording this round, and Tomato says no. (Indicating that if they were to hack, the only way for them to be found out is if a 3rd party player recorded them with sufficient evidence, just like anyone else)
So the game starts and progresses, and the fans slowly die off, while defending Tomato.
Potato runs into Tomato when he's alone, either from his team dying or losing track of him, and they fight.
Potato absolutely gg2ezstemrolls them, and pretty much knocks their chain helmet right off of their head before killing them.

Some things that we need to establish as facts before we can conclude:
1. Potato is a good player. Generally ranked in the top 1000, and not by win-boosting or giant teams like YouTubers.
2. Tomato is a popular YouTuber
3. Tomato is not known for their PvP, but their commentary style and video quality.


In this quote:

I am specifically talking about BajanCanadian and Sky. Sky is not good at PvP, and neither is Bajan (Bajan ragequit MCSG when he was told that he's not allowed to use BSM)
And in case you're asking why I know this... A) I have fought BajanCanadian and his Bacca partner (Forget his username) on multiple occasions, and to this day he has not yet defeated me, nor his partner. B) I've seen a few of Sky's videos.... enough said.

And also if they were caught hacking, they'd lose tons of respect and fans from all communities.

I meant the not good enough at pvp to hack, which (in my perspective) implies that you need to be good at pvp in order to "hack".

No..
I meant that if Potato encounters Tomato, and they fight, it will be obvious that Tomato is not hacking.
