What the game is "meant" to do, and the player made agreement are two different things.
player-made agreement = FTE foot race, maximum SOW speed.
anything that allows someone to travel at faster-than-sow speed is considered illegal.
things that may be considered against what the game is "meant" to do:
- alt-tabbing to drop frames and increase run speed during de-elevation = travelling faster than SOW.
- strafe running = travelling faster than SOW.
- jumping whilst running = travelling faster than SOW.
if SOW is the maximum allowable speed for an FTE foot race, then strafe running and jumping whilst running must also fall into the category of "travelling faster than SOW".
policing one method (alt-tabbing) and disregarding all other methods just emphasises how grey this grey issue is.
so either burden everyone with iron-gripped, draconian blanket ban of all forms of faster-than-sow travelling, or just accept alt-tabbing as just another quirk of a very old game.

Welcome to p99. Where you should consult a GM if you're doing anything remotely sketchy to see if it will get you in trouble rather than just keep exploiting to horde pixels for alt #3. That's where you went wrong. While sirken has a history of doing fly by punishments. I'm certain if you brought it up to him when detoxx asked about stopping it this would of been avoided. That's why I follow snacks. He knows all the nuances and what not to do. Blame AW leadership imo for not looking into it. Blinded by the pixels and sheeple they are ( in my best yoda voice )
