Banned from rated

[Christen57]

Wait, why were you banned on your Dark Cyborg account if you didn't do anything wrong?

Also, we can't see other players' duel records. Only our own.

Boosting, as a concept, is collaborative in nature. All parties involved knew what they were doing (if your description of events is to be believed), so it is essential that all parties involved be punished equally, regardless of who benefitted from it.

I wonder what your "friend" thinks of you for throwing him under the bus so nonchalantly. "I'm sorry for my friend's actions..."

[Dark Cyborg]

However, no one benefitted from it. And, according to your boosting rules, I hadn't violated any of them. Therefore, it is not essential to ban "all parties involved".

Thanks for inquiring about my friend, he is feeling disappointed that he got my account network banned from Rated. This is why he understands the reason behind me including his account in this conversation as I try to seek justice for my punishment. If you would like to understand my friend's feelings more exclusively feel free to dm him. I'm sure he can provide you with much-needed insight regarding your worries about him.

[troglyte]

Well of course no one benefited from it. Y'all were caught before you could capitalize on it.
And yes, it is extremely important to punish all parties involved in a boosting ring, including the sandbaggers.
As for the discussion on negative boosting, I'll defer to Genex as well as the general consensus.
Finally, unless you can prove that it wasn't you on the account at the time, I have no reason to believe your story.

[Dark Cyborg]

There was nothing to benefit from in the first place. It was done as a joke on the part of my friend. He nor I did not attempt to gain any advantage whatsoever. Go ahead and dm Rusty Bardiche since you are very heavily invested in him.

[troglyte]

No, I am not interested in pm'ing your alt.

[Dark Cyborg]

You can contact me at Dark Cyborg and my friend at Rusty Bardiche.

It doesnt matter if it was him on the account or not

My opinion on the matter is that you should unban him, and give him another chance, and if something happens again make the penalty worse and put it back on.

We are giving him a chance he isnt banned from the site the accounts are just set to beginner. that is a second chance if i ever saw one and he is currently blowing it.

Unrated will serve your wants of playing for skill just fine

This is absolutely false.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Thank you for sticking up for me!

Almost every punishment on the rulebook is given a second chance. However, I do not get a chance which is ridiculous considering the violation I'm being accused of is not even defined in the rulebook.

[d1234]

Also, it DEFINITELY is not boosting. The implied definition of boost is to increase or raise, therefore boosting is increasing or raising so technically it isn’t boosting. Also, how the rules describe boosting is, “Using multiple accounts, friends, or other resources to GAIN illegitimate wins” if he isn’t gaining it isn’t a violation of his.

Boosting is any form of trying abuse the algorithm to climb the rankings or artificially inflate the stats intentionally losing or admitting defeat repeatedly falls under this.

[d1234]

You can’t argue with a dictionary.

[d1234]

Also, it says intentionally loosing or admitting defeat TO GAIN EXPERIENCE

[d1234]

If he isn’t trying to gain experience it doesn’t count.
