[quote author=dew link=topic=631.msg6548#msg6548 date=1331706370]<br />we connected the dots and wanted to verify the pattern in the wildcard game, but bones revealed it to jenova to test things with him and jenova ran his trollish mouth in #idl a day before the game and invented a ridiculous story about xen &quot;probably telling dragan already,&quot; so we were left with just the speculations and unproven patterns. in the end it went as far as jenova sitting ready to ddos xyltol (and dg, in the process) if rr&#039;s ping went up, not even kidding, he told me so afterwards. even though it was MAD that got plagued with conn issues. ggs, bye.<br /><br />flash edit: oh, this is why i asked for jen to be banned. he ruined our effort to either incriminate dragan or clear him, then he lied to my face about xen doing it first. also mike claims he got ddosed by jen in the process as jen went off the leash and started using the selfsame dirty tactics we were trying to root out of the league. me and mike forced bones to act and oh boy, did he act - jen was banned from #idl for less than a day, plus he evaded the ban the whole time. i&#039;m not interested to be a part of such administration.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Hey Dew,<br /><br />I completely agree with you that I ruined a perfectly good opportunity to &quot;catch&quot; Dragan. As a result of my hotheadedness, I blabbered in #idl demanding Bones ban Dragan on suspicion that he was ddosing Rustking. The reason for this was because during a practice game, Dragan seemed upset at the fact that we were replacing him with Rust, said &quot;whatever&quot;, and left. Then, not five minutes later, Rustking was pinging 800 and couldn&#039;t connect to the server.<br /><br />I will however disagree with you about blaming Xenaero. I said Xenaero &quot;most likely&quot; told Dragan to stop doing it after we had a conversation about it (before you even knew). It turns out, Xenaero didn&#039;t inform him, so it was my fault. Sorry!<br /><br />As for Mikehail, here is a log showing what a great op he is: http://pastebin.com/ExgTwnph<br />I suspect the reason he randomly bans me in the middle of conversations is because I sometimes call him fat. Sorry fatty!<br /><br />In conclusion, I believe that you&#039;re taking this way too personally, Dew. I would think that this entire fiasco combined with you losing your playoff game (and notable rage before this even happened) all contributed to one pissed off drunk czech. I&#039;m sorry for ruining that whole &quot;catching Dragan&quot; plan, which I think I&#039;ve already said multiple times.<br /><br />Another thing, as Ladna pointed out, because the IP addresses are in most cases spoofed, you can never tell exactly who is ddosing you, only if you are the victim of a ddos attack. This means that it&#039;s basically impossible to catch anyone doing it, so you&#039;d have to throw assumptions (the same way I did).<br /><br />I&#039;m also going to do all of you guys a favor. If you are in fact using mIRC to connect to quakenet, you can simply push alt + r and paste this script that will automatically identify yourself, and change your mode to +x (mask your hostname) before joining any channels. What this means is that your IP address will never be available to the public, making the chances of you being a victim of a ddos attack a lot less likely. Here is the script: http://pastebin.com/eSCnP4wj<br /><br />If you are not using mirc, simply identify via /msg q auth USERNAME PASSWORD, and then type /mode USERNAME +x before joining any channels.
