I still don't even know who this guy originally was or why on Earth anybody would want 7 accounts. That is like saying: "hmmm, my rating is pretty high now, time to make a new account and go bash some noobs until I get the same rating again!" What is the attraction of this?

I agree with Voodoo that this is bannable behavior and would support an official rule change to disallow smurfing entirely (barring some actual reason people need a new account).

Sorry for my short comment. I mean if you create seven accounts (i only have one) it is nearly obvious that you want use them for different occasions.
IMHO this is called smurfing and smurfing should not be tolerated in any way.

I'm not trying, I'm informing you. Since I can see already how eager other tournament directors will be to invite you to their tournaments.

Ok, then im sorry if thats not the case, but i still dont know why you try to ban me out of all tourneys after the mods spoke. Looks a bit hostile to me. Its also confusing a bit. So not helping at all.

Its the weekly tournaments rule. So it is only for weekly tournament as gorton stated. Also Voodoo already said that i have to ask the TD's for participating. So pls dont bullshit me only because your e comrade is whining and you try to help him. Else i cant explain why you even care and comment here now.

But being banned from all weakly tourneys also doesnt feel fair to me.

Just to be clear in one thing. Not only weekly tourneys but all tourneys.

From the torunament rules:
Players who get caught of artificially lowering their rating will be banned from this and all future tournaments
Which applies for creating multiple accounts to keep low rating as well.

The tournament director has the last word. He can decide who is allowed to play.

Yes the tournament director should add such a rule maybe.

The other player wont know me anyway because i never was really active ladder player and i had a 1+ year break from the game, also i see a lot high rated players with smurf accounts, so i thought its ok to have smurf accounts. Still i think if somebody could pls list all my accounts with ratings things will get clear. I will accept that im excluded out of this tourney, ok. But being banned from all weakly tourneys also doesnt feel fair to me. Nobody is proving that i was ever a >1200 ladder player. Also there is no rule about having a total amount of games for weekly tourneys. And global rating that comes from only playing setons shouldnt be a reason to rate my 1v1 skill.

You can't. I received a private message yesterday with the question, why you don't ban him and all his accounts? I thought a long time about it and decided that this would go too far. But it looks like that i have to tell you something. You have no right to be here.

That is our rule about smurfs:
You will not create a second account for abusive behavior. Ignoring this rule can result in a ban from one or both accounts.

So you own seven accounts now. Thats a reason enough to ban you in my eyes. It's not fair. The other players don't know that it's you playing.

Gorton made the decision and we won't change it.
