Saboteurs! Be gone!
The GXC grapevine recently dropped us an intense bit of news -- apparently certain players, or "script kiddies," with support from the team, are engaging in the act of bringing our servers down with malicious code...all in an attempt to to prevent other teams from having a fair chance at playing.
Now that's just dirty. Remember my post about fighting with honor and playing fair? If you're not gonna listen to the Samurai, at least listen to Steven Colbert.
Have some decency people. There are a lot of players that genuinely enjoy playing our game and are upset by your acts.
Needless to say, if we catch any players (or teams) in the act of trying to bring our site down -- or even condoning it, we will disqualify you.
GXC is a sport as much as a game. Play by the rules.

you know, public humiliation is a strong deterrent. that's why we have comedy genres like satire and farce. if you were to reveal the people's names and their school, it might cause them to quit and discourage others from doing it.
It dosn't even take a script kiddie to do a DOS attack anymore. Opening 300+ tabs in a Firefox session and hitting 'refresh all' every 10 seconds will do the trick. Get 30 people to do that and you have 9000 hits every 10 seconds.
