Closed Josko. Farming, gross abuse [ka]

[xroads]

Josko is intent on getting up to conqueror, but he is starting to cheat to do it.

He started joining doubles/triples games with very low ranked players or freemiums knowing they should be easy wins.


Game 21906375
Game 21905547
Game 21905328
Game 21905327
Game 21903756
Game 21902428
Game 21903634
Game 21850302
[Game][21675636/Game]
Game 21675632
Game 21636027

Notice that almost all the games are with Teegee, who conveniently has taken off his colors which allows Josko to log in and take his turns for him as well.

Now he has started teaming up with lower ranked players, and inviting other lower ranked players to join knowing it will be easy wins.

Game 21918548
Game 21899102

I asked one of his opponents if he joined on his own or was invited, this was his response.

"I was invited why? I'm pretty sure it was a mistake to join"

Josko is not playing these as team games, he is using other players as pawns as shown by messages on his teammates walls.

So yeah.

Technically, he may be following the rules, but it is definitely not in the best interest of the game and a classic example of gross abuse.

this is just typical josko lol. bends (or breaks) the rules as much as he can before he gets told he can't. helps to have TeeGee on side.

I spoke to Ice a little bit to see if there was anything dodgy going on. granted he only looked at it from a surface level (all i asked for), and said it looked ok.

still odd how they start 30+ games before TeeGee goes away and josko conveniently covers them all.

then again would it even matter since he'd just follow everything josko says anyway.

"if he told you to jump off a cliff would you do it"

be interesting to see how the thread plays out but nothing josko does is surprising anymore

He isn't playing exclusively low ranked players.
Also those low ranked set up the game, anyone can join.
We should forbid josko to join them because he's too good ?

I think playing such low ranked players on regular map that they set up themselves and still going up the scoreboard is an achievement. Not an abuse.
I mean current conqueror went up playing only 2-3 maps. People are complaining about it.
Naruto did that because it's that hard to keep winning point past 4k points while playing any map since any loss cost you so many points.
Josko is already above 4k and still playing tons of different map. Congrats to him.
ofc he use a partner to mitigate point loss, but still, if his partner is a major that's not that bad. Naruto used to play triple with 2 players lower than lieutenant.

And I've got no love for josko, if he's cheating ban him. But I don't see a case here.

So the fact he is inviting low ranked players to really tough settings isn't farming?

Or that he is treating teammates like pawns instead of teammates?
