TeamWarfare Urban Terror Update

Just incase some missed this for some reason or another I'm posting a copy of the email I just sent.

Hi,

Well it’s getting close to that time again. That’s right TeamWarfare League’s TS Season 3 and CTF Season 5 will be starting soon. We have selected a start dates of November 1 for TS and November 4 for CTF. The Leagues are now available for joins on the website. Please sign up your teams and we will be able to transfer your roster from last season over to the current one. Before the competition starts though, there is some information that we would like to pass on.

First of all, I am happy to announce that TeamWarfare League has brought on two new admins. They are Mav and Retaks. Both are upstanding members of our community and I’m sure they will bring a lot of good things to our competitions. That makes our staff breakdown as such. Competition Director: ND80 (nd80@teamwarfare.com), Competition Manager: Annihilator (annihilator@teamwarfare.com), Admins: Mearlin (mearlin@teamwarfare.com), Retaks (retaks@teamwarfare.com), Mav (mav@teamwarfare.com).

This season we are asking for teams to contribute their picks for or league map lists. Please send your team’s choice of 10 maps you would like to play this season. Only one vote per team competing in the competition will be counted. If more than one is submitted only the first one will be counted. Please submit your votes by email to annihilator@teamwarfare.com. The deadline for submission is Friday, October 15th at 11:59 pm EST.

Starting with the TS Season 3 opener (November 1) we have decided to require all servers to be connected to Auto-MBL (Auto Master Ban List) in order to be eligible for competition. Mav has been nice enough to write out directions for connecting you server to the server. You can find those directions here: http://www.teamwarfare.com/files/dl/UrT/Auto-MBL.doc . Once you’re server is setup, send your server info and Auto-MBL admin ID to one of the TeamWarfare Urban Terror Admins. We will confirm that the server is streaming and add it to the list of eligible servers. This list will be available for viewing in the game forum. All of our staff will be available in #twl_q3ut on gamesurge and ETG to aid in this process.

Finally, the long awaited Urban Terror 4v4 TDM ladder is now open for joins. Clans are permitted (and encouraged) to have multiple teams on this ladder but players may only compete on one team. The ladder will be open for challenge once the ladder reaches critical mass.

That’s all for now, we are looking forward to some promising competition this season as I’m sure you are. If you ever have any questions or comments please feel free to contact any of us via email or come have a chat at #twl_q3ut.

PS: I apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email. Unfortunately, the mass mailer sends out to all Founders and Captains of all competitions.

Ok first off, I won't connect any of my shit to auto MBL. I read the whole thing and figured it is pretty much bs. And I knew mav would do something about bs this season. There are mutiple reasons I won't use MBL. One for a reason is information is being tossed from my hard drive to the internet. Personal information and serial code of your hardrive is being tossed. SID wants to ban me as it is and with my hardrive ID, they could easily banning me using this new procedure. Number 2 reason, having full acess to your server and files allows a corrupted admin like mav to steal your rcon and fuck with you. I know my server company would not want this @ all because it is connected to my server from there database(dedicate servers) This is way to personal and is a horrible Idea. Number 3. A admin could look @ my cfg anytime. MY CFG is personal and i personaly made it for myself and my clans advantage. There are no cheats in it what so ever. MAV has acess to everything and I don't want my cfg being used by other people other than myself.

PBWEB is connected to one database to another. Sending multiple files from a server to a database causes lag and personal ID. If a hacker wanted to fuck with punkbusted.com they could easily do it. If they got into the site, they would have HARDRIVE ID and IP and even a pw if your pc is pw protected. Many leagues dont use this at all. I don't want anything to do with this what so ever. I know when mav was signed as an admin he would do some bs IDEA like this.



If u guys do this, there is no need for my server. I know my server wont allow any kind of these scripts added to my ftp, server. SO WTF

Unfortunately...I have to agree with BV, he has some good points.

Advantage < BV

Lets start here.

1. Read carefully everything. Even the punksbusted site. They answer almost every question here.

2.As for me doing something about BS, one I support the idea, didn't intial bring it up thou. 2. If BS is cheaters, then for sure we have to keep them out.

3. One for a reason is information is being tossed from my hard drive to the internet. Personal information and serial code of your hardrive is being tossed - You run the server from your pc, nice interent. As for the scan by MD5, it only scans game files, can't go anywhere else.

4.SID wants to ban me as it is and with my hardrive ID, they could easily banning me using this new procedure - Wrong type of scan, wrong people who can ban you using it, and hardware GUIDs are not completly a reality yet.

5. Teamwarfare or any admin using the AMBL client have no access to your server, other then your server ip and port number. You give that anyways when we join your server.

6. AS for your .cfg being looked at. Again no one has access to any of your server files, except you. If someone gains access YOU have given them the information to do so, this software has no ability to do it.


BV, please reading my directions give you only a brief glimpse of how the Auto-MBL system works. It is in place to stop cheaters, not get anything from you. If you cheat or have been caught cheating this will be your enemy. If your a server admin, this is your friend.

There is a thread for discussing Auto-MBL, please continue this there.
