guyfox: Unfair use of substitute players?[cleared]

[GenuineEarlGrey]

Accused: guyfox

The accused are suspected of: Unfair use of substitute players.

Game number(s): Game 5465429

Comments: I appreciate it when people get friends to cover their accounts instead of deadbeating but this one is just silly to the point of unfair.

guyfox is a Private 1st Class and has asked at least three other players to take turns for him. These include

• GallantPellham Rank: Major
• BoganGod Rank: Colonel

He has benefited greatly from their help.

I had a look through some of guyfox's other games and, to be fair, his replacements have appear to have made the effort to say when they take his turn.

But using a Colonel to play for a Private is a bit much,

E.G.

Is this for everygame, or just every once in a while? If it's the latter, you have no case, rank up for rank down isn't considered cheating or anything of the sort unless they do it only for benefit. i.e. if this guy/girl/heshe has a legit, believable reason, they're in the clear.

Ummmmm.........So what are you saying that there should be rank restrictions regarding baby-sitting of peoples accounts??

This is ridiculous He has various friends of his minding his account, should he be forced to deadbeat if he can't find someone his own rank to help him??

[jpcloet]

Looking at the open games, rank does not seem to be an issue, beside most are multiplayer games. It looks like guyfox has not been around for about 9 days and most of the games do indicate that Bogan is sitting.

Unless there is an excessive amount of unnecessary sitting, this case should be closed.

You forgot to add Captain_Scarlet(the third person) who was a LT or Sarg 1st class for most of the time. He asked me to watch his account whilst he was gone for 10days, he came back this morning. During the time we babysat for him he actually lost points, though he managed to maintain his rank. In a lot of games I maintained a holding pattern and stacked. Something that was missed as well, was for during this period I was a low ranked brig.

[GallantPellham]

Yes, but he had the least talented Brig, and major on CC take his turns. And according to codeblue1080, we're both overestimated. (Bogan and I). May we get a ruling on what is the lowest rank we can account sit for? It seems private farming sometimes bites you. I was unaware of any fraternization restrictions between officers and enlisted personnel.

[jefjef]

IF bogan and Gallant were being used for any other purposes than to SIT for a player unable to play I can't believe that they would even announce that they are taking the turns.

Those listed in this complaint "sit" for many players because they are TRUSTED. Not because they are unbeatable. Look at bogans win %. I wouldn't let him sit my multi's account.

On a side note: Hey bogan I'm in a game that has me frustrated. Could ya jump in and take my turns. Thanks m8.

CC is my master... etc... etc... etc...

Now that is the game chat. GenuineEarlGrey has attempted to get people to go after guyfox(is a fog game, so giving away position like that ain't nice, not against the rules, but not really ethical)

Have provided readers with links to sitters involved for ease of access.

Now I'm curious about rank restrictions on account sitting. I will be going on holidays, and a certain person with a special looking shiny star has been so kind as to offer to account sit for me. Would that be ok?

Another thing, GenuineEarlGrey was the last person to join the game.... Not that I'm suggesting he thought it was going to be easy because there were a lot of low ranks with low percentage turns taken . I would never suggest that the gentleman that started this thread is suffering from sour grapes.

FYI guyfox is quite a good player and is progressing very well, We just worked on the foundations that he laid in the game. He held that bonus bar 1 territory before I took the first turn for him.

Now I'm not trying to be nasty here people, the accusation by Captain EarlGrey was more of a request for clarification.

Nice way to settle this. EarlGrey call guyfox out for a best of 5 or 7 1vs1, I would back him against you even though your a captain, and he is a private.

Exactly!

Bogan, I'd back anyone 1 vs 1 against me bro, EG

lol, mate. You have sense of humour so you must not be a jafa

[lord voldemort]

There is currently no rank restrictions placed on those who sit your account. If you wish to suggest this, head -----> to sugs and bugs (search is your friend first though) Cleared
