I also would just mention that, the original C and A report only mentioned point dumping and account sitting abuse.
What happens in 2 or 3 months when Jobiwan never comes back for his account. How long does Jobiwan need to be gone for you to think that it was just Blitz taking advantage of his abilities to play as a cook?
Maybe it wasn't some diabolical plan from the beginning. Maybe it was just something that kinda happened. But after a few times, he must have thought...somewhere in the back of his mind,...gee, ya know, this might be a little sketchy. And then continued to do it.
But all that shouldn't matter. Why would his thoughts and feelings(or really anything he says) about it really matter. All that matters is the actions.
Those actions again were...
1)joining cook to tournament games. and quad games w/Blitz
2)not playing said tournament games, allowing for points to be dumped, and tournaments to be disrupted and delayed
3)playing all the turns in his own games, as both himself and the cook
I'm sorry for Jobi and his loss of a loved one. Although it isn't exactly the same, my dog died in October. She was my best friend. I met her the day she was born, and i was there with her when she died. She was my little girl for 12 and a half years. I would have given my life to protect her. So it was very sad for me, Oct, Nov, Dec..and even now still. Every little thing in my life reminds me of her. So, there are definitely times for me, when some little computer game doesn't seem very important at all.
If it was a case of,"hey, my aunt died, she lives in a different state, i will be gone for the week to attend the funeral." That would be an appropriate situation to have an account sitter.
But, if it was someone much closer, something that changes your whole world, and you have no intention, or ability to carry on with life as normal. This is different. If Jobi just doesn't care anymore, and has left indefinitely, then what Blitz has done is take over a dormant account. It must have been so hard for him to know a premium cook was going to waste, and he had the password.
Account sitting is like babysitting. "hi. I have to go to work, and i can't bring my child with me. Could you stay and watch over, and make sure he isn't neglected and keep him safe"
I understand the rules don't say anything about having to take a players turns when you are sitting for them, obviously. But to put things into context, Blitz wasn't doing Jobi a favor. He wasn't concerned for his friend and just trying to help him out. He wasn't sitting his account. That would have required him taking Jobi's turns. All Blitz did was join Jobi to his team in some games, and played those games, for his own selfish reasons. You can't even call that account sitting. That is simply Blitz playing under an alias. It's not account sitting. It's account adoption....or at the very least, having a foster account.
It's like cinderella. There was cinderella, cleaning the toilets and washing the walls. Then the wicked step mother would hold parties, and all the guest would comment on how beautiful the place was, and how did she have such pretty nails and how were her hands so soft, and without callouses.
I'm not jealous of Blitz, by the way. I'm quite happy with my rank/points. I know i will never be Conqueror, whether Blitz is up there or not. There are just too many great players. Too many highly skilled Freestylers, too many farmers. I enjoy tournaments, team games, 6 man escalating..and 5 man assassins. I don't care enough to change games to reach the top. The only thing i do on purpose to gain more points is to try to win every game i play. I do, however, call bullshit when i see it. And i would say, this one buried the needle on my BS meter.
