    Re: Magic - the Cheatering

    People should be wary of everyone they play, not just for the fact that a few bad apples cheat, but also because people make play mistakes during long tournaments.

    Some people make more than others. Sam Black isn't known for his play mistakes, certainly, so I don't see how that comparison is relevant. Knowing the names of people who make a lot of "play mistakes" seems prudent if you're going to attend a tournament that has a large prize pool.

    We could discuss our opinions on whether or not penalties fit the crimes, but we all know how pointless that is. Making sure everyone is aware of who to be more wary against is all we really can do, unless any of us are high up in the WotC DCI employee chain.

    It's hilarious that the biggest serial cheater in the games history seriously complains about an opponent potential having cheated him out of the tournament.

    I thought Mike Long was considered to be the biggest serial cheater in the game's history.

    I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

    I guess up till today more stories were told about Mike than facts. It's impossible to differ fact from fiction over things that happend more than a decade ago and maybe 1-2 people witnessed in person. This is totally different from Alex, which you can google and instantly have 4+ videos at hand with him cheating ON CAMERA. The most famous story about mike was the Cadaverous-Bloom-in-his-lap while Alex has Two-Explores, draw-5-brainstorm, put-1-card-back-brainstorm and many more.

    Well, he made opponents scoop without having a kill-condition left in his deck. That's why we, up this day, ask our opponents to show the Tendrils if he/she goes infinite ;D

    And why you should always wait for your Elves opponent to reveal the Dryad Arbor when they crack a fetch naming it. :(

    Re: Magic - the Cheatering

    Honestly don't feel the least bit of pity for Alex's opponent cheating against him. I don't like cheating at all but in this case...it made me laugh my ass off; that he complained about it publicly hoping for pity or something? That's the icing on the cake.

    The whole situation feels like the 1988 Olympic 100 meter field. Happy Ben Johnson got screwed over, but Carl Lewis was probably every bit as dirty and does not deserve to be celebrated.

    If it was the 5th time this afternoon that the Falcons ****ed up in the same way, I'd be happy the charade was over.

    Not Legacy-related, but one player "won" both the Standard Open and the Modern Premier IQ at SCG Worcester this weekend. Blatantly cheating: http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/com..._scg_standard/

    SCG is already at it and investigating the situation. They are holding back prizes until the situation has been resolved.
    The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
    1. Discuss the unbanning of Land Tax Earthcraft.
    2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
    3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
    4. Stifle Standstill.
    5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
    6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
    7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).

    Re: Magic - the Cheatering

    Are Mike Long, Bertoncini, and this guy all from NY State?

    As an aside of ancillary relation to this, I continue to be amazed at how lenient the entire MtG community is with cheating.

    And, if their investigation finds sufficient evidence of cheating, they will donate the money from his prizes to charity (as they did with Bertoncini). Say what you will about SCG, but that is a terrific thing to do.
