10 point infraction is the base for accusing someone of cheating. It's a well known rule that you don't accuse people of cheating or rigging sims, yet you did it anyway.

I personally think that a lot of Slyza's mistakes are simply that. Mistakes. I make mistakes when I sim, but I check a lot of what I do before I post and fix things up. Even then, people have identified small errors in the stats etc. I think he's loose and slapdash and not the sharpest tool in the box. Not a combination guaranteed for success.
I actually think Skippos is probably right and that there's no sim at all or that large parts of it aren't what he says. But that's why I don't really endorse the thing, and just let him chunder away in that tucked away subforum with it without offering any real help to him. If you think it's bull**** then just ignore it.

What? Thought it was common knowledge that Crabb rigs the sims. Why do you think I don't join a team?

I think some of it is bull****, but then that only makes it a weak sim, not necessary that Slyza's up to nefarious mischief.

Yeah there's a big difference between a lot of the stats being entirely randomised/not part of the sim and him deliberately giving himself high ratings or injuring people he doesn't like. Which is where we drew the line.

Exactly. The poor sod's been trying (which is also a little annoying) as he's been messaging me constantly asking my advice on how he should post things up, how he should go about things etc. Which is good, because a lot of his mistakes have been because he's posted something and then someone's convinced him to change his mind. You can't do that.

Yeah nah I get that, but like, when I said 'N hunt 100 because the sim is in his head' it was more a comment that he can make up what he wants because the sim doesn't exist - clearly. Not a 'if it does he favours himself' - because I'm 100% certain he's not favouring himself, I think this is all just an elaborate hoax that he thinks will gain him respect (running a sim). I'd cop the infraction for accusations of the sim not being real - but you've admitted that you wouldn't infract that! My comment was about that, not about slyza favouring himself.

It's just frustrating that even you know it's a fake rob, and you're letting it happen. like I get you \_/ it and all but some people do care, if y'know what I mean.

So now I'll come back on 19 points yeah? and 1 more point and it's a week ban? okay. Seems incredibly harsh for speaking mine and everyone else's mind.

If you didn't mean he was favouring himself then you shouldn't have said what you did tbh.

For those playing along at home, this is all over a one day ban :laugh:
From a forum he asked to be banned from too.

Yeah but now I'll cop a week ban when I get back as I'm bound to step out of line once. I get it - I get that I need to get a grip just seems pretty h4x. Asked to be banned a few weeks ago, you didn't oblige, time is over, irrotev.

20 points = 3 days
30 points = 1 week

And anyway, infraction points expire after 6 months. Don't do anything silly for a while, and they'll start rolling off. Looks like 5 roll off in January.

Why not appoint someone else to do it if thats the case? Wouldn't it contribute to the improvement of the site overall if a better sim is in place?

I've been volunteering for months. Even had the support of the posters but didn't get the go-ahead.

We didn't appoint him to do it in the first place. It's not a sim that we feel is important to the site in any way; he came up to me and asked if he could run it so I said whatevz and made him a moderator of a subforum. We don't have team subforums for it, logos for it, username tags etc.. it's basically an unofficial sim that I just "let" him run in there. If he does a good job I'll upgrade it from that but well, so far it doesn't look likely. You're always free to just ignore it like I largely do. :ph34r:

Harden up skippos. back in my day when we were banned we scored centuries in offseason club cricket semi finals to win the game.

you should be dropped from the nz side and your spot given to me.
