NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

[Rias]

well, it is what it is @Gafur zip it

[Mr_Bramboy]

Butifle was unbanned after half a year

The same thing happened to me after a "lifetime" ban

Your ban wasn't a tournament ban, but a forum ban and that ban was handed down by another team. It is possible that their ban policy is not in line with the tournament ban policy.

[ChewSick]

this is the only acceptable consequence. well done admins

Kynesie has been spotted with hacks on his desktop during stream before so not sure why he was in this to start

[gh0st]

omg so this is true. Really disappointed with kynesie, never thought he'd do that tbh.
Why tit had to do that, such a shame. well done kaiser tho!

Technically it is Kynesie that has done something.

Admins has gathered information (stated in the OP) so there was no reason to flip a coin.

yes of course, but tit also must have asked him to smurf? thats what i meant, why he had to do that.

As I understand it they are quite close friends, also outside of ESOC/AoE3
From their perspective it is a friend helping a friend.

I would never do such a terrible thing even to help @gustavusadolphus or @evilcheadar

[lemmings121]

imho: past bans for smurfs have been more lenient, but circumstances also were different. They literally tried to steal a flight to uk from snow, and potentially a 4k usd prize from the other players, not to mention escapetv.
I'm sure the decision to ban kynesie as well as tit is the right one here.

You also have the added risk of ruining an upcoming mod career.

[gh0st]

the mod who was promised.

There were obvious differences besides the IP. That's why your statement shouldn't be only about the IP. Also, the IP can be changed. So in the future, tournaments still wouldn't be protected against people who share a computer or alter their IP.

[Aizamk]

welp that's a bit disappointing

IP adress is not related to the computer, it's related to the place in the network.

How disappointing.

If we were to point out in detail everything that helped us identify the rule breach, it would likely serve to immensely help other potential cheaters to get away with similar infractions in the future.

[Hamu3l]

I'd suggest Kynesie buys one of these the next time he wants to play

[iCourt]

So my question is how will we be preventing this in the future?

Make an example out of them

[Mr_Bramboy]

I'd say we did pretty well. We noticed the signals and acted on it immediately. Ultimately, it is up to the players to set the right example.
