Ragot25 event manipulation [tg]

Accused:

ragot25

The accused are suspected of:

event manipulation

He currently has 578 active games. Joining every game, deadbeating them all as far as I can tell. I assume it's to get the gifts and stockings. Doesn't get more blatant.

i was just going to report Ragot25 also....He joined my game and didnt take his turn. pretty blatant. He needs to be removed from the CC platform to make it better for all players. He ruins the experience for me. I turned off "automatic renewal" due to him!

Oops. I wish I would have seen this before I joined 42 of his games. Hopefully a mod will look at this quickly and block him because it seems like he is still creating and joining games.

Looks like Generalpython is missing a lot of turns as well. I guess with the way the awards are dropped some of this might be inevitable.

Admin intervention required.. I have put a temp stop on him creating/joining games until admin can fix up the mess

They just came back though right?
Did they do this this time last year or other events?
Is there a Amazon Gift card up for grabs or whatever?
So they spend maybe $35 on Premium to maybe get $x back?

Strange ruling here.

All games that were joined against Ragot have been deleted. All event gifts taken away.

However, all games, that he joined will stay and count. Don't really see the difference here.

it is still ongoing/pending

In 16 years of CC, whatever we decide here will create a new precedent, so we are looking into it from every possible angle and consequence.

The games deleted to date is following past protocol.

These players now have scores of 200 - 400 points respectively. I would think some point adjustment should be appropriate when they return.

Ragot25 has been issued an indefinite website ban for deliberately attempting to ruin The Christmas event by creating a lot of games with the intent of not taking any of his turns in those games. In other words - Point Dumping. He made a number of speed games in which he all deadbeated from that may have been seen by some people at the time and got tempted to join his awaiting games. These questionable games he made have been removed and I can understand your frustrations if you were one of those who got affected in the repercussions of his actions.

Unwritten Rules
Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits and colluding with other players in any way to manipulate the scoring system.
