I got suspicious of Steve last week when he was still setting up his 512 man tourny so I asked the mods to do an IP check on him and several other players in the tourny. The results came back and stevegriffiths had about 30 other accounts. I then pm'd him about it and he admitted guilty.

Well I guess I should start with an apology as I've undoubtedly caused unnecessary extra work and hassle for you.

I'm afraid I just got greedy and stupid and wondered if it would be possible to do this...I'd got to 14th of the scoreboard, so am not exactly a terrible player at the game and was having plenty of fun without taking it too far.

Then I took it too far!

So - busted - no point in me hanging around trying to justify my actions - good luck with the site guys, I'll darken your door no further. Again, sorry for the extra work and hassle caused.

Steve

Him and his 30 accounts have been banned from the site. All his tournys will be canceled. I apologize to everyone playing in them, but myself and Highborn do not have time to take on more tournys right now.

The 512 man tourny has been canceled, but Sully800 will be taking over the Champion of Champion's tourny.

If it isn't too much trouble, can we get a list of the other accounts that were being used, so we know if we are in any games with them?

I know I am in several games with Steve at the moment.

I'm glad I lost.. but wow that's a shocker! However, it explains why all those random people who had nver posted before entered his tourney.

Fireside Poet · Post by **Fireside Poet** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 6:13 pm

ACK - are you sure a multi didn't go into steve's body and to this? Would that make him still accountable? Oh, this is a sad day indeed... I guess he made that $20 work to the max and now his tourney addiction is quenched...

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 6:47 pm

Since he's premium cant he come back and just not play with multis?

CBlake · Post by **CBlake** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:12 pm

maybe if he would have had 2 or 3 accounts but NOT 30 thats just insane

gavin_sidhu · Post by **gavin_sidhu** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 7:52 pm

Steve liked to do everything in big numbers, big number tournaments and big numbers of multis...
