[Baler]

Well, even ahungry.com is kind of a log parser! I'd hate for them to ban them outright.

If that's not a ruling or an answer, I don't know what is. (Tho I suppose he's free to change his mind at any time.)

Thank you. That's the kind of information I was looking for. It seems Sirken may aspire to some judicial activism on this issue.. If the policy officially changes, it would be nice to have some official heads up, otherwise it's kind of irresponsible to make comments like that imo.

To me it seems like log parsing is classic (although Norrath Map overlay is taking it a step further).

Why did you edit and remove 90% of your post? Because it showed how staff could never prevent log parsing?

Worst they could do is just ban you.

So.... you reroll. /shrug

Lol to sirken saying they may try to ban log parsers. No they arent illegal and the day they are made illegal is the day you might aswell quit p99 cause everyone will have gone mad.

i have always said very specifically that damage parsing was classic and would be left alone, and if we could hit nerds using maps and audio triggers, we would. but thanks for putting words in my mouth <3

I was quoting the OP sir. I'm not one to partake in your stream or watch VoD's of it.

Recently, log parsers were discussed on Sirken's stream (At the beginning of this video). In this case, we're talking about Gamtext, etc, and map generators to a lesser extent. I know log parsers have been discussed before on numerous occasions and generally dismissed as acceptable since they don't read or modify game memory. But, in the stream I linked above, Sirken has said they may try to ban them in the future. Can we get some kind of confirmation on this rule change? Is Gamtext banned from now on? For the record, I don't use log parsers of any kind these days (not even Gamparse), especially after watching that stream.
