That guy was a legend. A random PR 50 shows up from China outta the blue and takes games off H2O, Challe, and Samwise12. Never did figure out who he was.
Eh, not one of your proudest moments. First of all, the high-skilled player behind Steve was Samwise12 and Flooky, so how can he take a game off himself? You also logged in from time to time, but it was mainly Floo and Frodo's bro.
Same thing with CTSureWin.. it took us way to long to find out that it was SMB Smurf and not Cristina, the original owner of the account.
About Steve, I alwasy knew it was a smurf, just didn't know who. Some ppl in my clan only believed the story because it was CT "reassuring" them, as a native chinese, that Steve was definitely telling the truth.
I_CHAOS_I, who is someone who migrated to China ten years ago, speaking half-defect chinese himself, knew right away that the homecity names and all were just random gibberish words
Now, let's go back to China V-Lan!
Here’s the fun part, none of the players you mentioned were actually behind the Steve act!
You mean the mastermind behind it all who had the idea? Clearly that was DITISSPARTAAA! The ones playing were definitely Sam and Flooky, no one else could beat H2O's Japan at the time.
We got revenge though...

How do you know it was H2Os Japan? Do you think water boy would play against Flooky for fun? Clearly not flooky, definitely not Sam!

Cause it showed on JP ELO that it was played on _H2O's main account. Why would he let anyone else on his account?
At that time he didn't know yet that it was either Flook or Frodo. Every Jap vs France game was a Double Rax Xbow/Pike rush, which was really hard to hold, even on RE.

Lots of assumptions buried in there, most of which aren’t correct! I’ll give you a hint: the real Steve heralds from the land of snow and ice!

Or pretend to be bad.
Sometimes you may want to play a low level game without highly sophisticated strategies or you are simply a noobbasher.

I need to find out if this is the Daniel who is also a Basement player. If so i would recuse myself from the case to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest

wow dude.... just wow.
super awkward you try to defend yourself. especially that the other account is a known cheater as well, and who you hang around kinda tells a lot about ones character to PT with. Also to point out to others you hide under other accounts to infiltrate our clan and harass me in games playing a FFA like a secret 1v1.
I find this to be very poor form indeed.

motivations:
increase rank> boosted ego
decrease rank> gets game with lower players for greater chance of win to boost ego.
I once had a captain/ major rank in TR and it soon became very hard to find fair games because of the amount of players.... I soon got bored and started playing FFA again

Ya the decreased rank part makes sense for sure because it's difficult to find a games especially once you're major+.
I just think people can smell bs when your rank is artificially high which makes it pointless in my view.

Yeah I look at win percentage, how long they have had the game, and number of games played a lot more and how that win % ratios with rank. (I play FFA though)
so a MS with a 70% win rate (like mine) should indicate that I play beyond my rank (I only have like 30 games ranked on supremacy)
can indicate players who maybe played before but opened up new accounts if they have very few games played.
many times 1st lts with a high number of games played are some of the best well rounded players in FFA. Some of the high ranks that come in really only know how to play a couple builds that are strong but fizzle out.
You also logged in from time to time, but it was mainly Floo and Frodo's bro.
