Not everybody is throwing mud at eachother. Have a look at Kevin B's homepage www.skinnyk.com

Well, considering I once spoke to a programmer who had Bob Long ask, in a roundabout way, if he could reprogram a board with a self-ramping dwell, and the fact that WAS boards have both an adjustable (to near-zero) triggerswitch debounce and shot-queuing (storing) I think it can be said without fear of contradiction that yes, people are indeed using "cheater" boards.

Depending, of course, on your definition of a 'cheater'.

The All-A's used a "cheater" board in '98 with the first Shocker Turbos. The rules didn't specifically say they couldn't use "switch noise" and didn't specify precisely what constituted a 'trigger pull", so they got away with it.

Do you think the idea has been abandoned over the past five years?

Doc.

Rich Telford wrote in Faceful a month or ago ago that the Assassins had the bonus of having the fastest guns in the NXL, but that in either Chicago or Philly he said that there was not a game that passed without one of the Assassins having to leave the field a few seconds before the game on buzzer because they had an illegal gun, and that they would run around searching for a gun.

I assume by illegal he's talking bout trigger bounce?

I dont know dude, he didnt specify what the problem was, just that they were 'illegal guns'. that could cover a multitude of things.

Well Joe Bob, Bearing in mind that you only said- " i got a 4 the other day " how the hell was anyone supposed to know what you were talking about? In answer to your above question Joe Bob, the answer would be you! For not explaining yourself and assuming that people owuld have any idea what you were talk ing about. BUt then it would appear that clarity is not one of your strong points, as in the Bonebrake thread in A&Q you are not making much sense either.

joe bob i thought it was skyhawk you were talking with.think someone needs an early night,plenty of sleep

Either that or they nearly got away with playing with Uzi 9mm's

I'm sure I read somewhere, again could be BS that the max that a single finger can move is the equivalent of 13 bps. In theory that would make 26 walking. As I say could well be BS.

Obviously the more times you trigger is checked per second the easier a high rof is achieved. That said though I personaly haven't seen much differance in achievable rof between a Viking set at 30.33 bps and a WAS equipped Viking (uncapped rof trigger checked 1 million tyimes per second)

This is just sad! I wonder how long it will be utill players will be requiered to reflash their boards with a standard tournament program before every game. Bounce is not the only problem, changing the velocity is imho another big issue.

In conclusion: this is just sad.
