ban keyboard!

How can we activate kb ? In the settings ? (I will not activate it)
thats like saying we should ban good players because its unfair for bad players
^ I'll accept that argument if you can show that the "bad" player isn't beating the better player solely because he's keyboarding. I watched Andrew Tang's stream of the hyperbullet shield arena live. *I* could tell who the keyboarders were just from how they played, and I don't even bullet.

Andrew is dead set against keyboarding, and when a GM talks, I listen. When that same GM is scoring around 50% against keyboarders rated 200-300 lower rated than him, he's either having the worst day of his life or keyboarding is offering a boost far surpassing a mere move-input alternative.

Is that boost unfair? That's for the admins to ultimately decide.
#12 No, it's like bringing a gun to a knife fight. Even if both sides are equally good, we know which one will win ;)
@14 the person with the knife might sneak attack the overconfident person with a gun and stab him b4 he can shoot :P
#15 Either you're trolling or don't understand the purpose of my analogy...
#16 Probably #14 is trying to make an out-of-context joke.
@danegraphics you clearly haven't watched blindfold streams because most people use text-to-speech moves in blindfold. Never have I ever seen someone use kb for blindfold, I've only seen it used as an advantage in kb over non-kb players.
