Well isn't this nice. All those years ago and I find Ed telling fish stories and complaining. Being one of the original members of {GDI}, let me start by saying that none of us ever were bots or used any software that auto targeted or dodged shots. And it was usually Ed and his clan being run off servers by anyone of us (Roach, Beelzabubba, Toe, Vomit, Mad Bomber, Buster or me; Hecubus). And yes, we were very annoying. And seeing that we were never run off servers, that just goes to show that we put in a lot of time and practice to improve. If you ever looked up the top 50,000 players on Lithium 2 sites, Buster was always around the upper 20's, Roach was around 50th and I hovered around 100-120th place range (i just couldn't put in the time that Buster did). That's 100th place out of 50K players. I didn't need to run a bot. 

With all that being said, Ed's group made fun targets and I hope everyone that we played with is doing well almost 20 years later. 

Miss the good old days...

Sincerely
Hecubus
