The faraday first shot at the flea which was not cloaked (16:24ff). Skuttle decloaked due to aoe and became collateral damage.
May I suggest you ask your lawyer to check the available evidence next time before pressing charges? Keeping the courts busy this way burns precious tax money!

Dont discourage him, its a good thing that he voices his opinion if he doesnt understand it, its also a good thing that expereinced players explain stuff to newer players such as it happened in this thread.

Maybe his choice of words wasnt perfect but with that we hopefully got the incident cleared and someone learned a bit more today :),

I am not discouraging anyone. But filing a report and drawing admin's attention is not exactly the right way to approach this. Especially if someone is new to the game, they might consider they have missed something and thus prefer phrasing such concerns as a question ("Why was my scuttle stunned?") in the thread associated with the match/replay (he even linked that thread!) instead of bluntly asking admins to apply punishment.

Calling someone a cheater is a bad insult in a gaming context and www-literate people should know this and apply some restraint. That is especially true since BErankAmpul has been around here for years, as one can easily confirm by checking his user page. A new person should realise that it is way more likely they themselves have missed sth. of importance rather than a veteran of the community suddenly turning a cheater.

Please also note that people have to run the entire replay up to minute 16:20 in order to check the allegations. On most machines this will still take like 5-10min or more and there will be several persons checking such a drastic allegation. This combined effort can easily add up to 1h+ of other people's time being wasted due to making an elephant out of a flea. Especially devs/admins who already dedicate a lot of spare time to 0K should not be bothered without good reason. While punishing bad behaviour / trolling / harassment is ane important factor to a healthy community and one that actually needs admin attention, another factor is everyone applying some good faith. The latter can be done without demanding other's time and effort and thus is preferable wherever possible.

All written above should in fact be common-sense and I think me pointing this out is absolutely appropriate. Maybe I should not have been sarcastic, but on the other hand I don't think I have missed the right tone by too much given the way the post was phrased.

((Odd thing though that I am the one who receives bad forum karma - note that nobody has downvoted the OP yet, myself included. But meh.... reminds me of that old Queen title "Trolls will be trolls - When you're in need of love they give you care and attention..."))

It should be noted that there are also better ways than publicly calling someone out on the forums by name to deal with this type of situation. I believe this is what the contact the admins button is for.

Also, I read bhaktivedanta's comment as 90% humor anyways, which I thought was a pretty good and gentle way to make his point.

Do you have verbal diarrhea, or have you had sex for a long time?

Ok, in order to maintain a constructive discussion and possibly save other's some effort here is a screenshot I took the very moment the faraday fires for the first time.
Red circle: A decloaked flea. Red square (top right): pasted in for reference a cloaked flea, taken from a screenshot with the very same settings at the same moment elsewhere on the map.

- Note how the cloaked flea that I pasted appears transparent with the same graphics settings whereas the flea in question is rendered opaque, indicating it is decloaked.

- Also note how the faraday shoots in the approximate direction of the flea. It only sees its radar bubble with margin of error and thus attempts to hit it only when the radar bubble wanders into range.

- Further note that BErankAmpul's mouse cursor (colour dark Purple) is nowhere near the location indicating that he has NOT given manual order to fire.

- The scuttle is in Faraday range and LOS and consequently, after the AOE of the first shot decloaked it, the Faraday will fire straight at it, keeping it stunned.
