Smurfing in the TWL Alpha playoffs

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2005-01-24 · 17 posts
It has come to our attention that in last night's match between Fatal Attraction and Warped Sanity that fa used a player in the match that was not on their playoff roster. In comparing server logs from the match to ip records of several sources, the player that played as fa-ABK was in fact comm0n. Comm0n is not on fa's playoff roster and therefore was ineligible to play in the match. Apparently Fatal Attraction thought they would be cute and had ABK either add comm0n's guid to his profile or give someone his TWL log in information and think somehow that would 'prove' that ABK played in the match.

As a result, the match results will be overturned and Warped Sanity will move on in the playoffs instead of Fatal Attraction. Additionally, any fa player that played in this match is suspended for 60 days from ANY TeamWarfare competition, including potential tournaments. Mixer, as team founder, c0mmon as the smurfer and ABK will be suspended for 90 days.


While Im sure that there will be those that post that this isnt the 'same' as cheating and therefore nothing should be done, this is a TeamWarfare playoff and these our rules. They are clearly stated and we have zero tolerance for teams that cant seem to play by those rules.

Additionally, as an aside, these ongoing actions by certain members of the et 'community' really put a damper on those of us who wish to spend our own money for potential tournaments.

This gets old after a while

Personally I think CAL should work with TWL to ban them too for 60 days. The fact they brush it off and this is their second time getting caught only show's you they will continue to break the rules...

if comparing guids means nothing, how does one go about checking on smurfing? I mean in all seriousness, how does a smurf get caught? I do not have the tools to compare IP's and guids aren't mandatory to post on TWL.
Server logs from past matches or even Pub servers where contestants are known. Merely a process of elimination. It takes some number cruching but it's doable. Find the common denominator.

granted you would have to establish the pattern and have admins willing to give up the ghost, so to speak.

Never argue with an idiot.

They will only drag you down to thier level and slaughter you with expierence.
There's also the IP logs from TWL, CAL, and other websites.
