A big topic of discussion tonight has been around the use of bugs within the game. While there are multiple angles on this subject, the major view appears to be that, while this is wrong, because a rule has not been made in anticipation of this, a heavy punishment cannot be justified.
The topic in question came to light when DynSL.Fullmetal abused a rally glitch in 2 games during SEAcraft #51 against both Wally and Chase to gain their location through Fog of War and perform an 11/11 Barrack cheese on Cactus Valley.
While we agree that this is a major misstep on the part of the player, as this has not been accommodated for in the rules, the punishment must befit the "crime." Therefore, we have decided to withhold all of the points Fullmetal has earned during tonight's SEAcraft. We would also like to extend a warning to everyone who participates in SEA tournaments. If you abuse glitches in any way, shape or form, we will NOT tolerate it. Future cases of bug abuse will result in heavy punishments including bans. You have been warned.
We in the OSC team believe in maintaining the integrity of the games in the SEA scene and feel strongly about maintaining good habits of fair play. As such we hope that if anyone does gain knowledge of a glitch before it is known to the public, they respect the integrity of the competition in our region and refrain from using these glitches.
