Sorry, this is not straight forward.

This leaves it up to the judgment of the individual. If I have my roommate sit and jam a button when i take a shower as opposed to having some material thing hold down the button, what is the fucking difference? Is my roommate an unfair advantage?

...
just take your roommate to the shower with you and forget FTE

Any program that provides an unintended advantage is very strictly prohibited.

You will be caught and banned if you use them.

The same holds true for exploiting. If you have the slightest doubt that what you are doing may not be intended, please cease immediately and seek clarification from the server staff. Failure to do so and discovery of your actions will lead to disciplinary action.
Hmmmm... I'm sensing lots of gray here....

what color is ducktape again?

Now, if your keyboard allows you to hold down a button - which many modern ones do, you should check them out - instead of jamming it, wtf is the issue exactly?

Seeing as it is pretty impossible to tape down a key on the normal set of keys (try getting any letter key to stay down, for example), but possible to tape down the keys that are set for macros, there is nothing strange at all going on here. The difference is between holding the key down with your finger or having it held down for you.

There is nothing devious about this whatsoever. No rules were broken. No macro loops created. There is no ruling on this anywhere to my knowledge that makes this against the rules.

Thanks kids.

FE Supports cheating using autofire - GM's hold them accountable.

/hug Project 1999 - how many more FE will go down with this ship?

FE spinning sooooooo hard. Program or not he admitted to duct tape. He wasnt physically there holding the key it amounts to a low-tech bot. I.E. cheating.

I mean I can see it being a grey area, but I think the only real problem is AFKing while utilizing it. Otherwise, I see no issue with holding the key to spam IF THERE IS NO THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE BEING USED TO DO SO as opposed to jamming the key.

Is the circle jerk done yet?
