Anyone interested in a private server? (RANT)

I've been learning the game pretty well - almost too well.

All I get is, are you 8H (no I am not)? Are you using a cheat? Are you super low ping? Are you doing this or that?

Man ... (sorry to rant here) but I'm getting pretty good at this Comanche 4 and now I find people accuse me of cheating left and right. It's getting to the point the game is losing it's fun.

They don't do it in a way that's obvious - they say, are you 8H? Despite the fact a server says 3H only ...

Example - I go on and this guy is getting top score - a person asks him - are you 8H? I say, hey get on as 8H and you will explode. So the person goes, I know about autoexplode I was just askin. Well why ask a question that leads to an accusation? Instead of praising the person for his skill the other player accuses him of cheating - and this is a rampant thing.

It's become a fighting technique: "Accuse the other guy of cheating, when you lack the skills to kill him."

I really love this game but a lot of players will do everything to accuse others of cheating .. just to make a person feel bad and make them play worse so they can get a better score.

That's just wrong.

I have a setup that's pretty fast and I can run a dedicated server.

If enough people are interested, and willing to play without accusing others of cheating, tricks, or whatever - just good wholesome clean skillful fun - I will make it password protected and we can share it with other people who are willing to follow the same rules.

Thanks.

Sorry for the rant. I'm frustrated.

Thank you.

I'm running a server on Novaworld that uses AutoExplode (for no 8H) and I'm using a macro program "Macro Express":

www.macros.com

that gives message every 30 minutes - "Don't accuse others of 8H and cheating, this server runs autoexplode anti-8H program, etc, etc."

The macros works nice, just have to make sure there is a one second delay to every command.

Macro Express seems perfect for server admins and probably players - you can set it to do a series of commands, so if you use a keyboard and mouse (instead of just a flightstick) you can do a series of commands (i.e. gear up, shoot 3 times, etc.)

This is how to do the macros, if anyone is interested:
