He can't say for fear of blackmail (altho he might claim to have won it when he didn't for spite/disqualification purposes)

sadly it was all to no avail, no badbeat stories tho, not good enough on the day :-(

I am dismayed by the number of people who seem to think it is ok to play a satellite for someone else, or in other words cheat.

Because it's ghosting.. what's not to understand?

Now if his mate had given him the buy in to play under his own account and then 'bought' the seat from him then there's not a problem. But if you log on to play SN 'x' you don't expect to have Moorman (example) playing.

yeah but pyso's post reads as if he's specifically referring to playing a sat for someone else as the cheating rather than the ghosting. I could be wrong though

oh ok my bad - apologies

It's misrepresentation, fraud, call it what you will, and both players are party to it.

It's like someone qualifying for say, the Open Golf Championship under a different name and then the less capable or originally unavailable player playing in the real event. How would the sporting world feel about that if it happened (which of course it never would, but it's an extreme example to prove a point)?

Maybe I just come from an out-of-date generation that cares about these things. I've never lied on a CV and I still think it matters to get "your" and "you're" mixed up...so, sigh, what do I know?....

[gatso]

nah, disagree 100% and your example makes no sense except in very specific circumstances where a comp is sat entry only

for most comps anyone can buy in or buy a seat from someone else who's won it. the person who played the sat is irrelevant

you can't compare it to the open which despite it's name isn't open but has entry requirements so someone else qualifying for you would be fraudulent

ghosting is a different matter entirely though

it's still 1 person per account and 1 account per person though. fwiw it doesn't bother me but strictly speaking this is against the rules.
