ClanBase Guid Rule Changes

News
In the following days Clanbase will be implying a new rule, about Enemy Territory's GUID system. To reduce any guidspoofing and other excuses, since ETPro guids are totally unreliable nowadays, we urge you to stop changing your PBGUID (this is done by manually deleting your etkey in your etmain folder) Clanmembers / members with PBGuids newer than 2 weeks (not confirmed yet) will NOT be allowed to compete in any cup , or any ladder after this rules takes effect.
People that will not comply with this rule due to reason's like:
- Format
- HD crash
- my brother
will not be accepted unless solid proof of this is given (HD crash ONLY) if you format its your fault.... the date of the guid is the day they register it at CB (or Yawn, or ss of when your etkey was created)
To prevent any "my HD crashed, its dead" you must save your etkey to:
- Pendrive
- CD
- DVD
- Floppy
- we might be able to add a feature allowing the member to upload his etkey to his profile so that only he can download whenever he wants just in case his PC dies.
--> and if you think backing up your 67 byte etkey on one of these will take you too much time, send an email attachment to your email with the etkey....
This might cause problems with people share their accounts. As stated in the Cheat&Abuse Policy Document every Player is responsible for his CB account password, abuse will be severely punished.
The above 24 hour rule does not apply to Enemy Territory Ladders, players are required to register their ET PB GUID14 days before the match or they will be considered freelancers.

can some giev link for CB newspost about this. too lazy to search
E; Your PBGUID is not visible @ vista, it does not show up in the ETmain you must enbale something first I think :'/
E2; To find your ETkey @ Vista go to C:/Users/yourusernamehere/AppData/Local/PunkBuster/etmain/etkey, if its not in the etmain.
i havent checked my pbguid in ages
What does this aim to stop?
Whats wrong with just ditching etpro guids and just forcing people to use the pbguid in their profile.
What will the 2-4 week old rule accomplish? Tell me.
clownbase once against proved how long they take to catch up to the rest of the scene
Pbguids = good idea
the 2-4 week thing = bad idea
There is no point of the 2-4 week thing.
save your etkey file to your email, takes 10 seconds.
So don't use the stupid time period.
If I'm forced to use this, I'll still change my pbguid every few days just to annoy you, but I'll be using pbguids that I've had stored on my harddrive for the last few years so they are way more than 4 weeks old.
Well this behavior is clearly creating a hole in the how we control who is who and consequently how we control the banned players.
I have done some research at other leagues and checked how they are controlling such guid changes, in some cases they don't allow players to change it at all and the process must be done by admins, others require that the guid has been registered for at least an specific amount of time. Remember there is no specific reason for a player to remove his key or at least they can store it safe somewhere for backup purposes (f.e. floppy, flash key, online mail attachment, etc).
Seeing our big player base and how guids work at CB, I think we should take this last option and decide the how old the guid register have to be in order to consider a valid player. Obviously the 24h rule is not valid for us, any banned player can make a new account, get a new ETkey and play the game very shortly after being banned (we can discuss how to catch them with C&A but thats not the matter of this post since it will not be very easy).
We have had an internal chat about the age of a guid and we agreed than a period of at least 2 weeks is necessary for a continuous competition like ladders. This guid age rule have to be applied also at new accounts, remember we want to avoid players to create new accounts very often (if not avoid, at least, make it harder).
I think he means the 14 day rule does not apply to ladders.
if you only have the game for 2weeks or less, you suck in the game cause you dont know ANYTHING, and if you know something, could be if you played alot in those 2 weeks, but if the players are higher then low+ skilled already, then its bullshit, then its spoof/cheating or whatever...
and tell me, who still starts ET? i dont see new guys lately, only "pro" guys who start the game, with a bot or smth thats like, gg for me--> kicked from server after i had some pbss, and guess what, always black!--> love it
congratulations, you're the first one to be added to ignorant-piece-of-shit's ignore list
From now on, save your ETKey and you'll have no problems. And the players who play ET less than a week shall just have to satisfy themselves with regular scrimms and 1 day cups =)
yuhuuu
Not rly
anyway, this new rule makes CB even more paranoiac. being able to upload the key may be a good solution, therefore the user may get it back if he forgot to save it (which is the case of many people who decide to format because of viruses and who didn't know that making another partition for video games, music, etc. is a good thing). I just hope that CB's website will be safe enough.
And it's a good thing, except for those whose PBguid magically changes every once in a while. But since CB-Supervisors aren't monsters (except for Koe) I'm pretty sure that if you have evidence of this thing happening to you, they'll work something out.
It's no big trouble to send yourself an email with your PBguid attached to it, so for those whose PBguid doesn't magically changes, this solves all their problems.
What will be the next step? being on time for an official match? this is madness.
thats why I am complaing :<,I have had same ETpro guid for 3 years so it is annoying to change it into pbguid (which has been same for almost year)
+ hide your pbguid before it gets spoofed :D
I have always wanted to play with the etkey of a famous W:ET player ^^
let's assume netcoders hax to xfire ( not that has never ever happend) and gets the pbguids then basically if they will get to the wrong hands and with guidspoofer u can make someone hack that u don't like.
So how would u protect my guid if i uploaded it ? i know i wouldn't do it, store all my nessecary stuff on my 2nd hdd but let's say some ppl would do it.
i'm not like to whine but face it, if some guy get's ur pbguid and spoofs your etproguid and cheats and gets busted and some guy finds that "your" yawn is red (both guids are yours then it's 50% ppl that think u were the guy and and ur reputation is totally ruined
though i find the rule a big step for Enemy Territory
Every website can be hacked, like netcoders. And would you think that a website created by cheatcoders (mostly people who now how to hack) is hackable?
1) analyze the shit you wanna hack
2) find the bugs and exploitable shit
3) write a hack to use the shit you found
4) use the hack
5) if fail go back to 3, else succes!
bye bye ET
cool
I quit gaming, there are no opponents, this game is fucked. :-(

You have been banned for the following reason:
A real costumer would never say "is the bot really good" take a flying fuck back to crossfire and give killerboy a nice big wet blowjob sincerly asylum
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
i don't see why pbguid should be more reliable than etproguid.
# just send etkey to anyone who should play
or
# as already stated... wait 2 weeks.
i don't think that there is any satisfying solution for et as long its possible to spoof guids or you can just create new etkeys.
Should be no problem to save the fucking file.
Welcome to the real world. ETPro GUIDs have never been reliable.
i finnaly had the balls to do it
ET UNISTALLED
YEAY ME
( with the help off CB its easy otherwise i never could off done it )
Adding pbguids is a great move by CB, but as you said the 24h rule should suffice. I can think of a lot of people signed up for TAG on clanbase who come and go (Cash, Sinuss and Dream are ppl who come up in my mind) For those kind of players this rule just means a lot of bs. Stick to 24h, 2 weeks its just fubar unless you can upload your etkey @ clanbase and can retrieve it later on. And no oc 10th division players dont have a fucking clue about pbguids etc, so just uploading the etkey file should be hard enough allready.
everything related to you and CB is a fail, ESL is the way to go
IM PSYCHIC
that shit can only come from dumb retards like killerboy
so you are telling me you are one of those guys who delete their etkey for fun?
*edit* im not someone who wants to get controlled by a retard like you. if i buy a new pc I throw my old one away without saving my fucking key. if i format, I format everything and wont let space for a fucking et key. if you rly get this shitty rule through, i wont care about it and u can ban me for hax like 100 years if you want.
Besides that, you don't need to insult people to make your opinion known, do you?, whoever does something for free, and spending his time on it, deserves the respect first, and then you can argue about if you like or dislike what he has done.
I don't agree with everything being done here, neither with some retards, but i respect their opinion as they have to respect mine.
Nothing else besides that :)
how could someone proof that his hd crashed? ever thought about the fact that the people could just lie to you?
np 4 tardbase

First get iit working before posting new rules.
ETPRO guid must be in CAPS
PBguid must be in small letters and must be 32 characters not 8
/clear
/pb_myguid
/condump pb.txt
No, its not because of Capslock
I guess thats the main problem of all those other users.. if you just copy the guid you also copy some space, i didnt notice that.
thanks
example: "you suck because you used mercs"
Seriously, wtf
Selling 2 weeks old PB Keys, $ 0.10 per piece!
ctrl + c
right click / copy
for example i got an official on sunday, do i have to change my guid by then? i'm absolutely sure not every player on the server will have done it by then.
ouh and do i have to add the 8-letter or the full pbguid?
only 2 weeks?
WHY?
brb, calling teh dramallama
Fuzz is in this pic
nowadays? As bani said from the beginning, they've always been totally unreliable, however CB never cared to listen.
I guess i cant play officials on one of them now.
and why aren't cheaters banned lol'd http://clanbase.ggl.com/humaninfo.php?hid=2868223&suspend=1
oh wait... no didn't, I'm not the one who is using cheats to look skilled :D
Banperiod 6 months
UNBANNED :DDD
you fucking FAILED again ! :)
http://www.yawn.be/findPlayer.yawn?gamecode=ET
go there and search for your nick to find your guid or go to et
/pb_myguid
/condump myguid.txt
go to etpro folder
OMGOMG EPIC FAIL KILLERBOY WE HAZ TO ENTER SOME STUFF ON CLOWNBASE????? WTF TAHT IS SO ROFLHARD, U JUST KEEP ON FAILING MOFO!!! WHERE THE FUCK WILL I SAVE MY ETKEY WTFOMG! THAT IS SO HARD!!! THIS IS SO UNECESSARY!! IT WILL MAKE STUPID PEOPLE QUIT AND I REALLY WANT TO PLAY AGAINST THEM OMG FAILERBOY ROFLOL YOO KILLED ET BITCH DIE :((((((((((()))))DDDDDDD
2. and I agree, making him an admin is the biggest failachievement in CB's history :/
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Could this be done, I'm pretty sure :DD
oh, and stop saying "fail :XDd" everytime, it was funny some years ago, now it's plain retarded.
go #!@$, nonsense spreading lowlifes!
guids won't change due to a format. guids will change due to a hdd crash thus making one exchange it..
my etpro guid even changed without doing nothing. SATA2 hdd's won't affect guid changes,
other stuff do. one could easily change the damn guid without any spoofer, but i aint tell how. .. your all so secure etpro has holes!
go do some homework, bullshit spreading mr.knowitalls
and I'd suggest you do some homework regarding english
u delete ur etkey, and got a new pbguid .. since when do pbguid change when you change your hdd?
man i'm so allergic against bullshit
it seems i didn't understood their system!!!!!!!
fact is that HDD changes affect etpro guids, but no pbguid. so ??
and well
nice making yourself look like a retard
Please go back and fix it, or check the FAQ if you're not sure how to find out what your ET PB guid is.
so this will be fun to watch, but hey i'm allways in for a good laugh :)
guess he used a dictionary :P
involved in cheats accuses
strange and unstoppable bugs that made me being accused of cheats
my brother has never used cheats in my pc
i have never been in some black list
my pc never changed the guid by itself
i have never been hacked
i have never been spoofed (now i expect from retards to do it)
I have never been pmmed in IRC with strange messages.
I always had cl_allowdownload 0
The question is: IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ALL THOSE PROBLEMS ARE "DETECTABLE" ONLY IN THIS COMUNITY? A COMUNITY WITH THE LARGEST NR OF PHENOMENONS AND 40000 BUSTS ...
Someone tries to fight cheaters and people complaint it. how come?
I hope wolfenstein will completely delete the fucking ET scene with its fucking cheaters.
At this point, gangrene is too extended to be treated ...
Anyways, good game clanbase. tries to fight cheaters are always welcome.
2 weeks = 2 less (at least 3 months pbguid history)
but just set the age at 2 month or somthing similar
this post gave me a brilliant idea of how to spoof even harder :o)
The people who don't cheat will be slightly inconvenienced.
Lazy cheaters might get deterred/caught...does this offset inconveniencing the majority?
