cheat caught on video??????

By shotbyscott, in X-Wing

Hay have a look at this game... Around about the 2:13 marker you see the player on the left (deci pilot) play with his dials. IMHO it looks like he changes his dial direction when the other player is moving.

what do you think?

hard to tell the footage is speed up so all that twitching can look like something its not

Yup, definately moving the dials.

You can slow down the footage on youtube.

the way he moves his thumb and keep checking the dial to see what he changed it to looks so suspicious. I watched this last night with 3 other players all us us thought the same after watching the video 3 or 4 times

This is why there is a rule about not handling your dial while the other ships are activating. If your opponent does this politely remind them that they are not supposed to do that. He may or may not have been cheating, but if the other player had just said Hands Off(in a non-accusatory manner) there would be no issue.

Have to agree. Looks like he's moving the dial with his thumb and checking it several times to see ho close he is to the move he now wants.

Slow down the video and its VERY obvious that he is cheating.
Clear case for reporting.

didn't they catch a conquest player cheating last year? It seems people forget they are being recorded as it is becoming more of a trend to put it on the net in more tournaments I am attending.

how do you slow the video down?

Click on the Cog for settings

Choose speed and set it to .5

thanks for that yeap now you can see it lots better

Wow quite obvious to me.

Thanks for that :P but when you are surrounded by experts that say "just slow it down" then its ok to ask them as well..... we don't have to google everything :)

Lol cheating on camera :>

Rear Admiral Cheaternau ...

You can tell by his three fingers holding the top of the dial, they move once pressure is applied to the bottom of the dial. I say name and shame these scum bags.

black list I guess

Someone should cut off his thumb

Motherf.....

Burn him at stake. You can even see his muscles tense in this characteristic way when we all turns our dials.

They'd better ask permission first, before putting it up though. Especially in Germany, they take their privacy seriously.

I say cheating, as if you check, you see it and put down, he's fiddling with the dial and looking at it multiples times, to see if he got right maneuver :) So cheating :)

Any1 reporthed it to FFG via some channels? It was a sanctioned event after all, black list refresh is in order :D

I got in touch with a German X-Wing player i know.
He is tight with the crowd playing in Marburg and will look into it.
I also downloaded and saved the video, in case it gets removed.
