Game Name: [ENT] Troll and Elves #45
Your Warcraft III Username: Kohi
Violator's Warcraft III Username: CRIPPLER@USWest and happy_footmen@uswest.battle.net
Violated Rule(s): sharing resources with -gu and trying to convince me (other players that it's NOT bannable)
Time of Violation (in-game or replay): 6:46 the start of -gu,
Any further thoughts:
In the second round, a player got randomly chosen as the troll and disliked it. And i thought the map was way too big since he seemed inexperienced.
CRIPPLER and happy_footmen used the -gu command at the start of the 2nd round (ing: 06:00s). I told them that it was bannable, unfair, and that its unreasonably noncompetitive against the guy who disliked his position.
Here's the thing. During the entire game, CRIPPLER and footmen tried to convince me that it was no-problem to abuse the command. I told them it was a form of stealing/saving money. Footmen was laughing it off, tried convincing me that he was a smart and educated person.
I am very surprised that it was CRIPPLER doing this, because he played this for a long time. Longer than i have.

As you may know, the point of Troll vs Elves is to upgrade your house for better income. Each upgrade has a unique requirement, for example that you have to reach a certain level on your defensive wall.
-gu (give unit) is a command which transfers the ownership to anyone else. In the given example above, CRIPPLER and Footmen were sharing a single rock, in order to speed up their house upgrade far ahead of anyone else in the game. It would be impossible for the troll approach the duo, because of their advanced defensive base.
The command exist to support players who are behind in the game, like a consolation present. But if you kept receiving presents, then it's a form of income, which also has income tax. That's the difference with irl + game.
p.s. i made this report not out of spite, but out of precaution. I believe the other new-players would copy this in their next games, since i was the only one who knew more about this than anyone in that game.
