BlackVega | 583 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I seriously didn't want to bring this bullshit up but I really need to get it out my chest but an elitist bastard calling someone out for the reason that the accused person is new is completely unfair. Being new does not discriminate anyone from participating........ Personally I am immune to this sort of bullshit talk or even false accusations but I can definitely imagine a newbie not ever wanting to participate in this ever. I also don't want to respond to the most silly arguments of "why did you go as far?" "why are you even doing this??" because like seriously what sort of a question even is that?? What is the point of collecting stamps, playing games for having fun, killing time and relieving stress from real or life or even better what's the point of living on this planet then?? I really don't have a clue how this works but the contest mods don't even need to be involved here but this absurd shitshow of a "conversation" has been going on for so long and if this sort of "service" is included here then OK OK let it be I have nothing to hide and the contest mods can verify all of my lifetime submissions including this one and even go as far as digging out my sludge from other threads as well if that matters anyway. Looks like this is the only solution that can be accepted here and I really don't want to respond to the most silly questions brought up by grown adults (uh.......) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,204 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 @Dr. Morbis Sometimes you just get beat by a player better at a certain game/games, Miss a strat…. If a guy wants it so bad to cheat he needs it more than you. Let it go brother. You have won plenty and are proven imo. @BlackVega I respect your score and I honor the honor system. I had to provide video evidence once and it did upset me at first but in the end I let it be a badge. Like an award. As far as you being new I will say you came out of nowhere. I did notice you put up some solid scores a few times but I never thought you were all pro. No disrespect and no reason to be accused, just trying to show you another angle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is obligated to upload any shitty videos and all of this is 100% optional. Also uploading video evidence 100% doesn't matter because "it can be photoshopped by the AI". You might as well upload porn at this point for all I care... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asked to provide video evidence. And I obliged because I respected who was asking me for that proof. the way your taking the accusations are as childish as the accusations at this point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,030 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The rules also specify to not call other contestants out in the threads themselves. I guess to prevent this exact sort of drama. Everybody loves drama, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,204 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) @BlackVega I understand. I’d like to see you not so upset. It’s tough to take a little hit to your character I understand that. But do it for me little buddy. Don’t rant and rave and get all bent. Oblige to any request and stick around and continue to play with us. When I was asked I was steaming inside and wanted to say “fuck that keep your stupid contest. I’ll never participate again”. But who would it have hurt the most? Not me. Not my accuser. My buddy’s in here. To deprive them of skinnygrinny in the contest would be a worse act than any. come on. “Spar with me again” Edited December 13, 2023 by docile tapeworm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I am actually officially not obligated to respond to anyone else other than contest moderators and this is what I will still do.

Please send a PM to the contest organizers and we will review the score. Posting accusations in the contest threads creates unnecessary drama and stress for all involved and will NOT be tolerated."

At this point, they're reviewing everything and will figure out everything they need to. Assuming everything is legit, you really have nothing to worry about. If they need more from you, you'll hear about it from them. Take it as a badge of honor that you're skilled enough that people can't fathom your abilities.
