He already stated he joined for him, then proceeded to take every turn. That is severe abuse?

just a major infraction...and i assume its blitz's first off the top of my head. so just a warning id guesss
thats if there are public games and jobiwan is indeed not around. both of these quite easy for the hunters to work out


So how many games does it take to become abuse? 10? 20? 50? 100?

It appears that he joined some public non-tourney games with the specific permission of the account holder. Technically a rules violation but it was with the specific permission of jobi from what Blitz claims. Not severe abuse.

NOTED should be all that comes of this.

FYI: If you are sitting for someone you do NOT have to take every turn...

If Blitz is signing jobiwan up for new tournaments, then there is a major issue as well. If jobiwan was already in those tournaments, then it's fine for Blitz to join the games for him and take those turns. If jobiwan is not planning to return to the site, then he needs to be replaced in the tournament and not just participate as a second account and point-crutch for Blitz. The rule is in place to cover people who go on short vacations, not to indefinitely keep an account in a tournament even though the person has left the site.

i thought this was a short vacation...thats what i get out of eddie and blitz's post
any game is abuse bruce...but read the situation guidelines mate. it would be a major inrfaction and as his first it would be a warning. just how it goes.
sure if someone cause absolute chaos with the site then something more extreme can be done. but thats not the case here
BUT IF the evidence turns out to that blitz is in the wrong then he would more than likely only get a warning.

Personally I have nothing against Blitz in the least, but I must be in a dozen different tournaments with jobiwan right now and his deadbeating has really screwed up at least half of those. Someone should pay dearly just for the aggravation that has caused if nothing else. Heads should roll!! :twisted:

Jobiwan was already in the tournaments (unless someone knows of a new one). In the case of the ones I am in with him they are long running.

NightStrike - you say it's fine for Blitz (or whoever was logged in) to join the games and take those turns, but the issue seems to be that someone is joining the games and NOT taking the turns. Is that still fine?

It is allowable for a sitter to join existing tourneys. It is allowable for a sitter to miss turns. It might be allowable, but joining standard games and deadbeating those while joining team games and taking turns can't be morally right.

I can't imagine jobiwan will be too happy when he returns from whatever reallife incident has kept him away to find that his sitter(s) milked themselves a few points in team games while letting his points go into freefall as he dies in every tourney he was in. It's not exactly the behaviour I'd be looking for in someone I'd trusted with my password.

Mr Changsha - agree pretty much 100% with your post. There should be no need for him to get embroiled in this when there are so many cooks and cadets around.

Hey people said the same thing about Krusher also. Never be to quick to defend?



Bruce, we played in many games against Krusher during that time and there is a big difference between both cases. Krusher had people suicide us (jesusreigns) and many others in order for him to win. We eventually caught on to this and his legacy came to an abrupt end. Krusher also had zero affiliation with the site outside of playing games. As I said, there seems to be some shenanigans going on but hardly what I would call cheating. The only reason why I brought the Krusher reasons up was to show the blatant disregard for site rules etc. I just don't see it in Blitz's case. Not saying your wrong, I just don't see it. It also appears from reading some of these posts that most think he's guilty when all the facts aren't even out yet. Lets not be so quick to judge and see what the mods think?

Postby eddie2 on Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:56 am

ok from what i am reading as responses is as follows.

1) It is ok to join tourney games

while this is true i do see it as it is not ok to join tourney games and deadbeat them while joining him up to non tourney games and playing all shots. While having the excuse that you do not have time to play his shots.

2) sonic asked about old or new tourneys i did not check further back than the 10th but jobiwans last sign up was on the 6th march.


3) i see many people highlighting different cases but nobody has highlighted 2 cases reciently that this is very close to this. one was herkman with jle's account then the other was the buddysystem case (where nothing could be proven about it being him or a sitter.)


lv you are saying that this is blitzs first major offense but all be it might be his first i can see there are 4 major infractions tied into this if it is blitz doing it.

1)point dumping of jobiwans account.
2)account sharing.
3)sitting abuse.
4) not to sure of the rule but hijacking of the account.

but we do need to wait for a hunters or i think this will be a king a case for a result. but looking at it even after this case was presented and after blitz had responded. blitz had still carried on and made some games inviting jobiwan was this his final attempt to get some points out of his low rank. who in there right mind when a case is made and you have seen it still carry on and make games inviting the player.

The question is simple.

Is Blitz joining jobiwan into tourneys where he then deadbeats, whilst adding him to his team and taking his turns in those games?

If Blitz isn't adding him into tourneys then there is little case to answer. There is no law that says ALL his turns MUST be taken by his now usual team mate. Blitz is quite within his rights to just play those games that impact his own results. If Blitz is adding jobiwan to tourneys whilst fully cognisant that they are likely to be lost through deadbeating then that surely is point manipulation.

Whether Blitz is showing huge levels of hypocrisy is another matter all together and one for the community to bear in mind in their dealings with him.

i disagree totally with this if jobiwan isnt taking his turns in the tourney (no mater who signed him up.) and he put blitz in charge of sitting his account. Then blitz should not be signing him up to new games (with himself) and using them games as a excuse for not having time to play his other ones.

I think he should be reset to 1000 points so we can all start betting on how long it would take for him to return to conqueror 8-[

I'll take 6th June.

Wow. This is a case of intent.

I do not see blitz having intentions on dumping his pards points. So what if he didn't take turns other than his mutual games.

Yes he joined some public games for him. The ones he invited him to and it seems that blitz had permission to by jobi. Sure that is technically a rules violation but the only intent I see is for blitz's team games to be filled and won by his team.

Account sharing? I don't see any evidence of Blitz creating any games for jobi so that would be a huge stretch to even be considered.

Looking at the scoreboard there are several high rankers that use very questionable tactics to get there. Same with most past conquerors. Blitz isn't one of them.

Intent to cheat and manipulate points. No.

A situation that should be NOTED. Yes.

hummmmmmm have you read blitzs statement properly ?????????????????????

He finally did pm me when he returned to the states and said let's rock out, but may need some help and left me his pw.


he asked for some help taking his turns.

he did join some and I did join some for him, the only ones I joined for him were some of my inivtes when I noticed the next day he had like 10 hours to join in a 24 hour span,


so jobiwan joined some games but did not join others. so blitz took it upon himself to join games jobiwan had not accepted.
he plays some, then misses some, so I pm'd asking him what's up? He never responds, then I pm him again the next day or two angry when I found others of our games he missed turns,


checking back on the first page of games he only missed 1 turn on the 26th march. also why sign him up to games when there is no response from him.

he finally replies and said can you help me out then resends me his password as I had forgotten it, I have taken some of his turns in my games and others, but, couldn't take them all due to real life.


once again he asked you to help him out. this in general is him asking you to help him with games in general but you took it upon yourself to sign him up to new games instead of playing the active games he already had.

If a sitter is joining tournament games but then deadbeating out of them, it would be up to the hunters if they think it's equivalent to taking over someone else's account and/or point dumping. If the hunters don't feel that it's a violation, then it would be up to the organizer if they want to allow that person to continue in the tournament or to be replaced with a reserve. Neither of those scenarios involve a Tournament Director making a decision about what is right or wrong. My post was meant to outline the official stance on joining tournament games, not to judge the rightness or wrongness of the actions in this case.

It's crummy to join a tourney game and deadbeat. I'd rather find a reserve even if the tourney started.

And of course Jobiwan "joined" another tourney game Game 8790070 and will probably deadbeat that one too. But he takes his turns in certain new games Game 8771783

Can't he be banned from joining more games while this is being investigated?

I don't know if there is abuse going on but Jobiwan is clearly ruining a ton of games.

I agree.

Very interesting that Jobiwan is being placed into public farming games for the conqueror while he is being "sat" by said conqueror. Not to mention that every other game said conqueror is not in, he is deadbeating. How convenient... and how totally not surprising.

Not sure I would want to be decisions caused by "peer pressure"... This is another C&A case, ignore the fact that he is a conqueror and make it as objecive and fair a decision as possible.

Let's dot the i's and cross the t's here.

1 - Blitz playing quads with cooks or other low rankers is not against any rule. You can argue that is imoral, but not ilegal.

2 - Blitz sitting only the games that concern his persona is not against any rule. You can argue that is selfish, imoral, but not ilegal.

3 - The fact that Blitz is still doing those things is not absurd at all. If he thinks he didn't do anything wrong, he has no reason to behave differently. Granted, if admin/mods think he is punishable, the fact that he kept doing it will probably be an aggravating circumstance, but that's a (small) risk he's assuming.

4 - Blitz only broke 1 rule here, which was joining public (non-tournament) games for Jobiwan. This one doesn't even need to be investigated as he confessed (page 1).

5 - You could try to argue that him joining tournament games for Jobiwan when he knew Jobiwan would deadbeat them constitutes some sort of infraction, but that is pretty damn hard to prove. Unless he was PMed/walled by Jobiwan saying he wouldn't be able to continue playing, only way to produce proof against Blitz would be through a lobotomy.

In the end, Blitz should only be held responsible for "4" (joining public games for Jobiwan). And, if I learned anything about how C&A forum works when judging prominent premium community members, everything will end with a slap on the wrist.

How should prominent community members be treated any different if they break the rules they should be penalized the same, that is what fairness is. Its not like if i were to flame in a thread i would be treated any different because i was a mod in the past, a flame is still a flame and should hold the same punishment for everyone.

Also if he was going to join the tournament games he should have been playing them, the spirit of the rule is to avoid disruptions in tournaments, but why join them if he wasn't going to play them? that is essentially the same thing as forfeiting in the long run and would have avoided this whole mess. Also joining tournaments and then dead-beating is basically as disruptive as not joining in the first place.

Truth be told I don't really care what punishment or non punishment is given but it is clear that the rules were violated and something should be done so this doesn't happen in the future.
