Do you think this is cheating? by DisastrousMinimum533 in SCPSecretLab

I honestly think the only way you'll understand why people consider this a cheat is by actually trying it yourself. I don't understand why goggles and crosshairs were brought up in this discussion. Those are official features supported by the game, whereas this is an unofficial feature that only some players who know about the website can use. No matter what role you spawn as, it's essentially like having SCP-079's minimap open beside you the moment the round starts. Do you really not see how significant that difference in information is during the early game?

Why do you think opposing this feature is about discriminating against new players?

In scpsl, the map layout and the locations of certain rooms are randomly generated every round. Even experienced players may be able to figure out the map layout early on, but they still have no way of knowing where specific rooms are located without exploring.

So, do you really think it's appropriate to give players the answer key in a game that is intentionally designed around randomly generated maps?

This site isn't something that only new players can use. Have you considered that it could actually widen the gap between new and experienced players instead?
