me and my friends used to play the game a lot which meant that we were much more skilled than the average player. The result of this was that admins would often accuse us of cheating (we weren't) simply because our kill/death ratio was so much better than anybody elses

I have a few friends who were often accused of cheating in Counter Strike Source and Call of Duty even though they definitely weren't.

When I used to play Counter Strike (and more recently Halo), I would sometimes be the second-best player on my team - the best player being an order of magnitude better than me. In essence, I would get a low score until my team-mate left, due to him hogging all the kills.

As soon as that guy left, I would be able to play and would appear to get much better. This would lead to me being called a cheater, on the grounds of "you weren't that good just five minutes ago".
