  1. You guys are directors of tournaments. Your responsibility is to ensure everything relating to the area your moderate is okay. When there are issues, you guys are expected to look into them and approach them in a way that allows you to come to the best decision possible while trying to be fair with all parties involved. I understand this.
  2.  
  3. This is one of the issues where you guys, as tournament directors, are in a difficult position and are attempting to do what you can in order to resolve the problem and get as much information as possible. You've all been reasonable in your chats with me and Byre, approaching is both respectably unlike other people in this community. I understand that.
  4.  
  5. There are various pieces of information that you all need to investigate. Many of them bring up valid concerns, and many of them have been addressed by the suspected people involved in jeopardizing the integrity of your tournament. All of it needs interpretation for legitimacy and if there are ways you can definitively verify what you are being told is truthful, it is in your best interest to do it. I understand.

  7. However, regardless of that, I still am adamant on what I said before regarding giving access, and it was especially reinforced yesterday when I figured something else out. I was actually opening up to the idea when I saw the latest message here, but not anymore.
  8.  
  9. I was speaking with him at around 11 pm yesterday and apparently gr8astard's password was changed without his consent. Pretty annoying for someone to hear, especially for him. Then he proceeds to show me people were invited to my forum conversations with him and two others with Bloo.
  10.  
  11. This especially angered me because I wasn't aware this had ever happened, and the conversations I had on the forums with gr8astard was especially private. I definitely didn't invite those people to the conversations or give anybody on this forum permission to access my account information. Now there's only so many possibilities: either someone with power in this website, or the people's whose name appeared in my conversations, accessed his account and mine as well to look through our messages without any consent, or my close friend allowed people to see mine without telling me because he has the password to Style.
  12.  
  13. So I ask gr8astard if he knows who could possibly have logged into his account and why. He figures it is so his messages can be investigated for instances of foul play, but isn't sure who. So I ask my friend, and he admits he changed the password of Style to allow others to see my conversations without my permission, leading to an argument of me mostly being mad at a long time friend as he apologized and justifies his actions. I'm not a happy camper hearing that from him. I am not happy whatsoever about that breach of trust, even if it was done in good faith. Whoever accessed gr8astard's account did it without his permission, which raises more concerns, regardless of the justification the people involved in accessing his account have.
  14.  
  15. Now what am I even getting at here? It seems that privacy is not only being invaded by "village idiots," but even by a personal friend and people with positions of power on this website that are trusted with responsibility. Now I really have next to no reason to trust anybody on here let alone continue to try and prove things to people because it's clear my past attempts haven't been enough. Anything I say to defend myself regarding questions I'm asked is never enough. Going through my actual account and other peoples accounts to see if there's any instances where leaking occurred is not enough. Screenshots of actual revisions of my google doc, not enough. Providing the teams I used, not enough. In fact, it only led to more unnecessary suspicion despite my explanation that can be backed up by someone else. Having someone tied to the Style account willing to meet people in person, not enough. Nothing's ever enough and I'm done continuing wasting time over an issue that has been taken to a level I could never have imagined when I decided to sign up for OST.
  16.  
  17. Maybe I'm stubborn or hard headed, but I am not going to continue bending over backwards to "prove" things to people at the expense of continuing to have my privacy breached. My past attempts appear fruitless, and even if my future attempts may help, I am in no way open to continue having my privacy intruded upon, especially with this recent revelation. It's gone too far for me and I'll never restore enough comfort to invite others into my personal information.
  18.  
  19. As I said before, I understand you guys as directors have to request certain things throughout the course of this story in order to ensure the best decision is arrived at and that everything is legitimate. I have the utmost respect for you guys because dealing with situations like this isn't easy and you have to approach things fairly from multiple angles. You've all been on this website for a long time and have grown attachments to it, and I understand having the integrity of the community at heart is dear to you all. But there comes a point where enough is enough and where things have reached a limit, and it has for me.
  20.  
  21. Now do as you please. I won't beat around the bush, I want this to end as quickly as possible. This has been drama affecting me personally for way too long and it being dragged out even more makes it more painful. If the decision you come to is a disqualification to keep the integrity of the tournament in tact because of the remaining unclear questions circulating, I will not complain as long as it's announced in a way that is not incriminating towards anyone as I am offering the possibility voluntarily and believe I've offered valid responses to allegations.
