Hi everyone,

  I'm one of the admins of #ut3pugs on irc.gameradius.net or [url]http://www.ut3pugs.com[/url]
Two things brought me here:

The first is to invite anyone interested to come and play competitive pickup games with some of the best TDM players active in UT3.  All skill levels are welcome and most of the people involved are quite nice and helpful.  If your interested in improving your skill level at UT3 please come and play with us.

The second reason I came here was, I recently played {dFb}Maximus on the East coast USA NY Duel server and beat him pretty badly.  With a couple of minutes left in the match I was called a cheater by the spectators.  Nothing I could do or say would sway them in regards to them thinking I'm cheating.  Maximus was classy enough to keep his thoughts to himself and I thank him for that.

Now first off I don't cheat.  I'm 28 and I've been playing competitively since 1998 with the original unreal and after that with UT99.  I took a break from playing around 2004 after UT2k4 continued to disappoint me.  I'm now playing UT3 again, and like a lot of the competitive players I find myself constantly being accused of cheating.  Some people take this as a compliment.  I see it as a problem with the game.  People will not get better if they think the better players are cheating.  Before aimbots came out for UT99 people used to strive to get better and by playing better players they did.  Now people simply accuse the better players of cheating.  

I think UT3 has the best game-play of any FPS game to date for competitive play.  It also has the smallest competitive community I've ever seen for a major FPS title.  We're trying to grow this community and would love to have as many active UT3 players as possible join us.  I would also greatly appreciate any {dFb} members to stick up for us when we get accused of cheating.

Thanks for your time
