First of all, your cynicism is rather bothersome and you can't say for sure that he wasn't cheating so enough with all of your "knowledge" on the subject because I feel like i'm getting answers from a bunch of sixth grader's. I have dealt with this glitch many times also so you wont convince me that this was the same. I am absolutely convinced that he was controlling the glitch and if you were sitting beside me when this occurred you would have been too.
Quitting the game for whatever reason had nothing to do with the problem which was cheating therefore it would be irrellevant why he quit would it not? He was cheating regardless unless of course you believe that a glitch can be so coincidental that one would be made to think someone was manipulating it? I'm gonna believe cheating...
If I seem cynical, it's because you're offering an old complaint and trying to interpret it differently than the hundreds of other times it's been interpreted. Just look through these boards and you'll see a dozen or so threads on both the faceoff glitch and it's abuse. Those who typically get cheated by it are informed of it by an unsporting individual.
And since you brought it up, there's no way you could know for sure that he was cheating, since he apparently never told you he was and all you have is circumstantial evidence. Poor circumstantial evidence, at that. Why is it poor? Consider this: usually, a cheater cheats to win, right? Otherwise, why put in the effort to cheat if the outcome is going to be a loss, anyway? The same should apply here. He wasn't losing, he was tied. Even if he lost in overtime, he would have had a better stat (an OTL) than if he had quit (an automatic 3-0 loss, if you don't glitch around it). So there seems to be no motive for why he would cheat and then quit, wasting not only his time and effort, but producing the least desirable result. Besides, it isn't like manipulating the faceoff glitch is simple or common knowledge, so there's additional effort required to manually intiate it. Why would someone do all this just to lose?
I doubt I would believe he was cheating, even if I was sitting next to you because this thing
happens all the time. It's not a rare event and it's more often than not unintentional. My brother can't host games because when he does, the faceoff glitch loop occurs. Is he cheating? No. Just because the timing of the glitch seems convenient to another user (which doesn't even seem to be the case here) does not automatically imply the person is cheating you.
If the problem was cheating, then he wouldn't have quit. So his quitting is pretty strong evidence that he either sucks at being a cheater or -gasp- he wasn't cheating.
If you had lost or had a win taken away from you, then maybe you'd find more sympathy, but you come on here *** about how someone "glitched" you and yet you still came out on top. More than that, though, you then proceed to act all defensive when we try to point out that maybe the guy in question wasn't a cheater, just unlucky. If you want to live in a paranoid fantasy land where everyone is out to cheat you, even when you win, then be my guest, but please don't drag other people's names through the dirt because you can't differentiate between unfortunate circumstance and foul play.
