What is considered "cheating"?

Every cheat is obviously strictly forbidden. Players who do use severe cheats w/o claiming that they have done so, will loose all their entries. I cannot give you an abstract definition of cheat, just some examples:

• Do not use -TURBO

iD software considers -TURBO as cheat in single player mode

• Do not use cheat codes
• Do not use a changed game engine!

The only exception is that you may disable the [q] key which stops recording.

• Do not use a changed wad file
• Do not change the LMP after recording!

Exceptions: you may remove pauses, you may add waiting to the endscreen, you may convert a LMP from an older game engine to the newest one.

• Do not use programs which give you unfair advantage while playing

i.e.

• do not record in slowmotion!
• do not use strafe50 mouse drivers

Recordings which were played using a strafe50 mousedriver will not enter the pacifist collection, though the older ones are considered valid COMPET-N entries.

Note:

Using spinning utilities like dks and dms is NOT considered cheating in COMPET-N. Therefore they are allowed in this collection too.
