Response to About Phil - What do we do now?

from Cicca (cicca@writeme.com)
In pure "Howling Style", right besides Tim, I realized that the only thing that we could do now is: nothing !!!
I've been one of the first to raise up the slow down issue, but after all theese discussions about, I now guess no action could be takes against Phil and Mvdv, since we can not prove they slowered down their PC intentionally. I do agree with Ben Jos that posting such scores with a slow PC is cheating as well, but since it's not stated in capital letters in the rules that "A framerate below (i.e.) 50 fps is not allowed!", nothing can actually be done !!!
I'm sorry if someone with a slow PC will be forced to give up, but it's for the same reason that I'm posting SF2 scores, or I'm not complaining with anyone if my slow car does not bring me to the seaside in half time !!!

This T2 is sadly gone, in a hell of cheating, suspects, insults and so on.... rules since T3 hopefully will be clearer and more severe, TG3MAME will prevent any cheating technique, and tournaments will result in real, meaningfull leaderboards of the actual partecipants skill !!!
