BLITZAHOLIC: What's your perception of him?

[White Moose]

I remember when I tried to teach him how to do game links.
A few messages back and fourth and he still had no clue.

It was fun.

[Crazyirishman]

I hated Blitz before hating Blitz was cool.

If you put some hipster glasses on your avatar, then I'll believe you.

Hating Blitz is too mainstream now

[oVo]

I don't hate him, that would be a waste of my time and energy.

[Stephan Wayne]

I picked stomping but i would really prefer not to feed him because that would require me going near him

So you'd stomp him from afar? I personally would still ilke to mother/father his children.

It says stomp his children not him i could easy kidnap them just like in the good old days when children safety wasnt that big a deal.

I mean, it's pretty fucking pathetic to cheat at this game. That's the other consideration.

Well... people value things differently, and this is just an exchange of costs incurred by undermining one's morals for some perceived benefit. That's similar to "stealing" (reproducing copies without permission) of movies, music, and films via the Internet.


It's interesting to see how much of his "moral assets" he's willing to trade in order to win an allegedly small amount of games. If he's willing to do that, why he wouldn't he break other CC rules?

[jammyjames]

The true question is; should we really care about this?

Life is far too short to give a damn about Blitz and his antics...

[BigBallinStalin]

I'm interested in how much people care about cheaters,

And especially how much someone's judgement of character is distorted when the cheater is some allegedly great person.*


*(who is obviously willing to do more than what he was accused of--seeing how much he values CC points over moral standing.)



jammyjames is a good example of this disillusionment. If it's some unknown cheater, I bet you more people are willing to say, "CRUCIFY HIM." But if it's some seemingly glorious hero, then they become disillusioned. The fanboys put on the blinders. They replace "cheating" with "his antics, lol." "CRUCIFY HIM" becomes "you're being mean to him!!! NOOOOOO!!"


I'm not making any normative judgments here. It's just interesting to observe people doing this to themselves. It's interesting how people unconsciously distort the truth, protect themselves of their perceived infallibility perhaps, or maybe it reflects their own low moral standing as well...

[HighlanderAttack]

Paid for his crime--done and over with--very good guy that made a mistake

I like him and would play with or against him anytime

na like ha just said he done the crime then the time. so it is over and done with. you seem to be missing why people were more pissed off with him he stood the moral ground saying players could not be on his lists etc or if they were it had to be highlighted they had cheated. but he refused to highlight himself. as for game play not many can argue he is/was one of the best of all time on the site. anyway i think if cc runs a pole for the highlights of 2011 the blitz case will be in the top 5 along with king a's police comment

One of rare players that outplayed me more time than I outplayed him. I assume there are many more players who have similar feeling like me, but instead of giving him honour for that and enjoy playing vs him and getting high class challenge, they showed huge envy towards him asking for ultimate punishment, like usual when someone is inferior in something. Probably they are now happy when top players started to leave the site after they saw how officials care for them, and how officials care for opinions of envy mass.

ha! this is funny... what they showed was wanting the rules handed out evenly. Blitz himself called for far worse for people that were busted for far less than him. he even refused to give himself an asterisk for doing exactly what he accused others of doing, DESPITE their being found innocent. funny how he could pass judgement on others and give them asterisks despite their being cleared, but when he was BUSTED he refused to change his name on any board with an asterisk. there was not envy, there was a cry for equal treatment of Blitz, because he himself so often called for the harshest of punishments against others that he FELT had cheated, but had not been proven to do so. this had nothing to do with rank, this had to do with people wanting a cheater to be cheated like a cheater, despite being Conqueror at the time.-el Jesus negro

p.s.-forum punishments are still far harsher than game play violation punishments. funny, cheat as conqueror and get 1 month, make a comment about CC being cheap by handing out 1/2 premium for contests and receive 3 months.. which is worse?

I wont go into any discussion, what I wanted to say, I already had said in previous post.

as you ask what is worse... for you personally, it is the worst that Blitzaholic got big amount of public popularity that you always wanted to have for yourself but never had achieved and never will achieve.
when someone is quality because of doing something very good, then public popularity follows him automatically. and you see, even after several months of not being forum active, Blitaholic is still one of top themes on CC.
when someone want to be popular and does not have his own charisma to achieve it, he will always try to get the popularity by force. when you were on forum ban, only a few CC players mentioned you.

[Timminz]

My perception of him didn't change when he was busted for cheating. It was... ... I don't think "vindicated" is quite the word I'm looking for, but it should get the point across, I guess.

[Incandenza]

You decide.

[jefjef]

I mean, it's pretty fucking pathetic to cheat at this game. That's the other consideration.

How can anyone here trust him to play by the rules again?

And just to be clear, I was busted for "Sergeiisalsopimp", not "reminisco".

Trust?

[Robinette]

My perception of him didn't change when he was busted for cheating. It was... ... I don't think "vindicated" is quite the word I'm looking for, but it should get the point across, I guess.

exonerate? or perhaps corroborate is the word you are looking for...

[pimpdave]

Yeah, my foreign exchange student roommate Sergei and I never played any games together, you disingenuous pseudo-authority. He has apologized for inadvertently getting me into trouble. Huge difference there. I've never cheated at the game. Also, I'm not on trial here, so take your flames elsewhere.

[pimpdave]

But seriously though, is there a way for someone who's abused the game to earn back trust?

[Bruceswar]

While me and blitz did not see eye to eye all the time, I never once hated him. It is a damn shame it has come to this as blitz is a good player. Like it or not, blitz can play this game.

[The Voice]

People who come here to browse the forums and play 5 games a month probably will hate him as they dont really care about the game. But for people that has played with Blitz, it doesnt matter whether or not you like him, but you respect his ability to play. "Cheater" or not, he's still better than 99% of the people on this site on any game type.

And better at cheating than 99% of the people on this site. But he's pretty terrible at getting away with it: I'd say worse than 99% of people on this site who cheat.

[natty dread]

and you see, even after several months of not being forum active, Blitaholic is still one of top themes on CC.

Really? I must have missed all the blitzaholic threads during the last 6 months or so...

[BigBallinStalin]

You decide.

[BigBallinStalin]

On a slightly more serious note, I don't see what the big deal is. I voted "Don't care" because really, this is the internet, it's CC, get over yourselves.

Blitzaholic, do your thing; have fun.

kiss ass.

[mr. CD]

I voted somewhat like.
He did cheat, which is a bad thing, but he got punished and served his time.
And after all, he is a very good player.
