I never got belligerent drunk, I would be very happy and sociable and then I would go into the sleepy side of things. I was also one of those lucky people who could still function when well and truly mashed. ---

heh I wish. I got heavily into the dance music scene when I gave up drinking, I’ll leave my poisons of choice to your imagination. Foolish in hindsight but damn… good times. ---

> [@Garrick\_Ollivander\_Ollivander](#): > > the only reason it is in this fashion is because the only way i can prove it to you belligerent fuckwitts is to have it recorded on video in the exact moment then you all will just say “oh it could be multiple people on those accounts” I must admit, this has been a very entertaining read. Look, the matter of fact is, if you think he is breaking the rules, report him, and let CCP deal with it. They have the logs, they can prove it, and they will ban/suspend him if he did. Otherwise, saying it here only makes it look like you are whining and making baseless accusations. Which you are, which is why you said you _suspect_ them of input broadcasting in the other thread. You feel as though they are, but you dont actually know. And yes, thats called a baseless accusation. You were probably suspended from the forums for your multiple tirades, but let me leave you with this. Gankers, are one of the most reported players in EVE. Players feel hurt, they are angry, they want to hurt the gankers back. They think, mistakenly, that ganking is against the rules, that it was unfair, that they were hacking, etc etc etc. This means that Gankers need to be above reproach. They know they are more likely to get reported, so they need to act accordingly. If they are stupid enough to input broadcast, they wont be playing for long, because they are more likely to be reported. Now, why would a ganker do something against the rules, when he knows he is more likely to be reported than most other players? That seems counter-intuitive, dont you think? ---

Things are easy. When you think someone is using cheats, input broadcasting or whatever - just report them. CCP will decide the player will be banned or not. It does not need proof. I report everything suspicous, always. ---
