JoshyBoy: Farming NR[CLEARED]ES

Accused:

JoshyBoy

The accused are suspected of:

Other: Farming New Recruits

Game number(s):

Game 9468156

Comments: Just searching for a quick 2 player match to play a game with, and was checking out one of meh fav maps (AOR series) and found a MAJOR holding a spot for a NR who only played one other game so far. I don't think this is anywhere close to a bust yet considering I only found proof of one game, but being smart I took a screen shot of it.

Now I dunno how the farm system works whether they need multiple acconts of abuse for proof or just something like this thats 100% proof (well as proof as I can show you)
But a note for later refrences would be nice, so if he does this again he already has a mark against him.
Even if this is not farm note worthy then is it noteworthy that he's actually sending invites to NR's?

1 instance. This is definitely a frivolous complaint. Are you mad at joshy?

by **jak111** on Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:56 pm

what? o.o I just came by him and thought I'd get this checked out since I've seen people say its against the rules to farm new recruits..

EDIT*
no I'm not mad at Joshy, I even said in the comment part that a note would be fine. I don't have it out for anyone but I've seen people post things about farming NR's without the proof and said they need more. Well this is more proof than others, or no?

Needs to be several more than 1 instance.

farming consists of playing a whole bunch at a time.....or all the time.....this is one instance

Alright, sorry then, I thought it meant in instances of them picking out NR's to farm, for the only defenses are that they joined the games they made, well this is actually personally inviting them to pick off.

It is definitely cheap of him. Especially on AoR. Come to think of it joshy invited me to a 1v1 AoR that I declined. I bet it was this one. He said he is medal hunting. I also think NR are blocked from joining AoR without an invite.

Sup.

You are correct in that in the *Snowman* case, the invites were an integral factor in the ruling of it being "Noted," but that was a means to an end (showing intent for the 30 games I posted) as opposed to an end in itself.

If this person had some more invites and a shitlot of games with NR's, you can try to find a pattern, but at the moment this doesn't come close to systematic farming of new recruits.

I guess this thread can be closed until further games are found by others, but like I said. This is the only game so far I got proof of that I seen while looking for a game to play, and maybe note it for later if it happened again if the first post was read entirely ^^

But thanks for defining the rule more clearly

One game does not make farming. Maybe this NR asked joshyboy to teach him the map. joshyboy is CLEARED.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :lol:

This is awesome! The fact of the matter is, I have been in contact with both curuloth and Leopardstar, who are both brand new to the site. I am currently in extensive contact with Leopardstar who is asking me about things such as clans, usergroups, and how to post images and links.

As for curuloth, I contacted him as he was a brand new member, and I wanted to do the same for him as I am doing for Leopardstar - showing them around. I asked Leopardstar if he wanted to learn a map so he could go around bamboozling top players by beating them on Age of Realms, but he temporarily declined due to a lack of free game spots.

*edit* I was unaware that AoR1 is blocked to NR? *edit*

Big Evil is right on the money with his response. I'm disappointed however that it took 38 minutes to clear me. Just can't get the staff.

Oh, one more thing, maybe I'll file a petty report against jak111 for a spurious report.
