Comments: This isn't a massive case like GLG since the above totals 23 games out of his last 300, but abusing the system is abusing the system and someone who has played the game this long doesn't need to be joining games against new recruits and/or low ranks to inflate his points. Seems quite blatantly tactical to keep the percentage of these games he joins low, as if that somehow makes it okay. He already plays guide games, but makes no effort to talk to the new players in these games linked above. I have screenshots of the three games awaiting players just in case he leaves them. To make it better, Jdsizzle was recently appointed as a moderator of the clan section - what a great ambassador for Team CC.

I think for it to be farming you need to be inviting people to the games.

Sounds more like "hunting" to me. I do not think there is a rule against hunting down and taking new recruits?

I clicked on the very first game, had a look and just thought - WHY

Why would two experienced players join a game against a cook and a Q, where is the fun in that :(

Tbh, I don't think that C&A reports should be posted about active games without the participants knowing.

Game 18398210

For example.

As someone previously said... medal hunting obviously.
If i join games when i hunt i don't look at the rank... i look for players i haven't beaten in a particular setting.
This is obviously not to inflate a score, this is taking too many risk vs payout.

Hmm, many of these aren't completed games, and some aren't even active yet, they're still awaiting players. This seems like a bit of a nuisance complaint. Something to hang over JD for a while until games that he may or not play in get done.

There was no attempt to contact the players in active games that the games they were playing are under attack by a third party.

This just seems wrong.

If JD is farming points, let there be evidence from games where he might have farmed points.

Not this nonsense of ongoing or upcoming games.

Why don't you join the unfilled games and take him out on the battlefield

This comment is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I’m not going to respond to anything in this thread from now, especially not people who have zero clue what they’re talking about. There will be an official ruling and then it will be decided.

You don't need to invite people to games to be farming.

There is a rule against hunting down and taking new recruit. Because hunting down and taking new recruit = farming.


Some really cannot be farming, like the conquer rome quadruple. there is a new recruit in Jdizz team and against him.

Most of the other seems to be on random map.. I am assuming as betiko said, medal hunting for the random medal. I am doing the same ( joining games againt new recruit that created a game on random).

How is farming new recruits suddenly okay if it’s for medal hunting? You’re still farming.

I think you need to figure out what farming actually is.

He has 54 active games, and only a handful against low ranked players. I also see he is a guide, so it is possible some of these were requests from new players since he is a guide.

I said in my post that it's a low percentage. I also stated he is a guide; there are guide games but they are marked as such and I have not included them.

It's amusing that several people who've posted in defence have also done similar things themselves in the past; xroads, riskllama, betiko.

23 samples over the last 300 games played by jdsizzleslice.

That is neither farming or ranching

I stated it was 23/300 in my post. I still see no reason to inflate points/medals by playing such unfair games, do you?

Oh we're letting a mod who has personal problems with me rule the report I filed. That seems like a good idea.

Why can someone call Caff an asshole, but he cannot call someone a racist?

I think the pb with Caff calling someone a racist is that it had been going for a long time and was repeated.

Though I find xroads post way out of line and I don't think such name calling is ok here.

I just called it like it is.
