Just to chip in - I'm not sure if any of you noticed but the "illegal simphys turret" is literally just what happens when you use the tool. He hasn't done anything special. You use the tool and it gives you the ultimate death gun. Don't ask me why Saint hasn't restricted this. To do what he did all you need to do is wire an on button to the can and carry it around with E, and by doing so your carrying will even aim the thing for you if you set it up well. If that isn't good enough you can attach it to the front of your LFS, simphys, or whatever else you might have with weld. Not to mention that many LFS planes can even shoot faster, and still deal enough damage to kill just as fast.
Put it this way - if any of you had actually bothered to properly investigate what he was doing we wouldn't even be here, needing to have this conversation. The only reason that I haven't told people about the turret is because we don't need more of whats happening in the video. If people actually investigated the thing and messed with the tool for more then 3 seconds, such actions would be pointless and you would have all had your own supercannons. I would have considered reporting the issue to Saint but last time I did because it caused a crash on a dead server he just banned me and did nothing.
In addition, you didn't even check if he had any expression 2s down. If you actually investigated the e2 menu for 5 minutes you could have found this. Beyond the gun, all the video shows is him healing rapidly upon being hit. A macro absolutely could spawn healthpacks under a man. I've seen many videos where people have a button bound to spawning a desk so they can propspam better on darkrp servers. If Saint were to think that they were bad, they could also be banned, but as of now they aren't. While it /could/ be e2, there's no proof that it is or isn't, and he says he isn't using it.
The big thing I wan't to point out is this - experiment with stuff a little. What makes "us" - Xenon, me, Post, and others "better" isn't really e2, its more about knowing what is and is not possible on LFG. Half the stuff that we do that y'all label as e2 abuse is just finding gaps in the mechanics. For example, there's 1 way glass, explosive props, and "infinite" props available on LFG without any e2 involvement. 1 way glass is great for pvp when using CW weapons. Explosives are self explanatory. Infinite props are great for building. Perhaps if you actually tried to expand your knowledge of the game you wouldn't need to complain on a forum that someone is better at the game then you. Its not even that hard, I have offered help to those willing to learn, and there are many tutorials online. Its on you to actually learn if you ever want to be better. Its not as if the powers are purely evil either. You can abuse props, tools, and dupes as well, and on the flip side a lot of the server and even some admins use the e2s I create for the server daily.
TL;DR -
The simphys turret is just a tool. You could have been messing with it as well if you tried.
It was definitely possible that he was using macros, and you never even checked the e2 menu to see if he was using any.
If any of you bothered to investigate or learn about how the game works and how our group does what it does, you could easily be just as powerful and have just as much fun as we do, instead of fighting about a man on a server the owner doesn't even visit.
