I agree with GRITS... it's not so much a compliment as the retardism of the newb. I've always said, it's not my skill that gets me called a cheater, it's my style. Gwars and evil are more linear jumpers, and pg does it often too... they have good aim and awareness, but there's nothing complicated about it, so they are less likely to be called cheaters. Someone who jumps non-stop in nothing but non-linear jumps will be susceptible to accusations. Occasionally I play like that, but what gets me the comments is the stalling. Someone like me or shalk will get the comments possibly more than anyone, because a newb can't fathom the idea of hopping on one arrow, they think it's impossible without a cheat, not to mention the disc just barely going over the bar, it may look like we're shooting through it. And where I get called on it the most is when I fire a disc over the bar from all the way across where the newb is running, and they will run straight into it and say it's impossible. So it's mostly style, partially skill that gets the "hacker!" comments. But don't underestimate your skill grits... like evil, you don't do the fancy tricks and jumps, but you do have the aim and awareness, which CS newbs will perceive as some kind of aimbot or whatever. And I've seen you do the "trick" jumps, it's not like you can't do it, you just choose not to.
