Actually a more accurate analogy would be, two weight lifters, training for the same competition, want to lift weights every hour for 8 hours a day. One uses a stopwatch with a beeper to remind him that it has been an hour, and the other doesn't. They both have the same goal and same task to achieve it, just one decided to be reminded to do so every time. | ||

That's very different from an activity which is self-contained by yourself. You're essentially equating this tool to practicing. Better luck next time! No I'm not. Lifting weights isn't practicing for a sport unless the sport is weight lifting. If you're playing something like hand egg (foot ball American version) then no, it isn't practice. Let me try explaining this another way: Someone plays a sport, so they aim to improve their physical abilities. They do so by lifting weights. Once they have lifted weights, they go to play their game. Similarly, someone will ladder or practice build orders against computers. However, there is no parallel to be made between something which remains in effect during the match. Lifting weights is intended to *prepare* you for an activity. An automated timer is intended to *assist* you during the game. Ergo, it is a false analogy. | ||

What a great proof buddy. well, it would be argued cheating because it's outside of the client that not everyone has becomes it doesn't come with the game, and this could give one person an unfair advantage. it's like at a weight lifting competition everyone lifts the same weights but if one dude comes in with steroids or super power gloves that could be cheating. Weights are outside of any sport technically. They are widely available but not everyone has innate access to them. It generally takes more work to acquire weights, be it going to the gym or buying them, then using something like this or an online stop watch. What? yeah okay, but does that mean coming into sc2 with bw background is cheating? how about, to practice for sc2, I go play bw to improve my mechanics? much the same way a basketball player or whatever can lift weights to hopefully improve his abilities.

Like i said, Im not in favor of this software because I could see how it could be cheating, and that's because you get do get an unfair advantage (like a 3rd party loud reminder to inject your larva) during the game. | ||

Nor would it be cheating to write a program that logs keystrokes and sets a timer after V+click not preceded by B (build overlords). Nor would it be cheating to have a build order coach inform you what to build at specific times. If you're dependent on these aids to play then you'll never be able to preempt these triggers and so your mind will always be 1 second behind the crucial timings. Deep strategy comes from thinking 10 steps in the future, and interruptions like this need to become habitual. It's about as useful as your adviser reminding you to construct additional pylons... if you do not already know to build them then you are in big trouble. | ||

Uh, how would Blizzard know if you're running a program that doesn't change anything about the SC2 client at all? You're using a Third Party program to give yourself an unfair advantage. Indeed, So if a 2v2 team uses Skype they're cheating? Get real. | ||

Weights are harder to get than this. Weights cost money, and some generally require machines. Most people need a gym membership or live in dorms or apartments that have a public facility with weights. A more accurate analogy to steroids would be using a blink hack or a map hack. | ||

I dont think it's a big thing to get angry about, as long as it's not being used in tournaments. How does it work when you have multiple hatcheries anyways? You could write a program that clusters groups of similar-time injections and alerts you when the entire cluster is ready for injection, setting a cluster-size to whatever you want. | ||

I don't understand what the issue is, these guys make a tool to help the community in their first post and get flamed. gg TL. | ||

Also these things generally get really screwed if you miss injects or 2/3 hatcheries. Much better to just get in the habbit of checking the hatcheries individually | ||

Did I say weights were cheating? Learn to read. I was making the point that just because something is outside of a game doesn't mean it is cheating. Weights are outside of football (American) but every player uses weights. Football players don't lug weights around the field during a game.

Why couldn't someone use it against a friend or computer in custom matches? Try interchanging the weight lifting to energy drinks or sports drinks. Sports drinks aren't a part of the game but they give athletes that use them advantages. | ||
