Thoughts please.

Something came up today that really pisses me off and I want everyone's opinion. It seems to be somewhat "controversial" in the sense that most have mixed feelings about it, and either think it's shady or that everyone does it so w/e. I'm not going to mention anyone's name for now but if need be I will later.

I had a horse post a % of his SCOOP up for sale and a very well known HS MTT'ers PM'ed him with this:

"hey id be interested in buying whatever action in ur 1k tomorrow if ud be interested in chatting w me deep if ur still in, could help u w some strategy"

It's pretty obvious that this person's intention was to take over the account, or at the very least do more than just offer a random spot check, if the opportunity presented itself. Now I, and everyone else, knows that ghosting goes on all the time in MTTs but I think there's a really BIG difference between helping a friend out with a random spot and going out and buying a % of someone's account with the intentions of breaking the rules.

Am I alone in thinking this is shady? What can be done? It's so shocking to me that this guy would shamelessly approach someone like this.

The reason I'm posting this is to ask whether I should out this person so at least they get some negative attention and it could possibly deter some people from doing this in the future?

And you already outed him.

Sad that this is really a non-issue then? And I hope I didn't make this into a "huge dramabomb" at all, I wanted opinions from other people in the online community is all.

Yes we all know its shady, we all know nothing serious can be done and the person in case will just smoke another blunt and laugh in our face but , at least, we can add him to the list of shady motherfkers and confirm previous "blurry" cases of this (brother/gf) etc ...aaand maaaaybe deter other from doing it somewhat (low % of that happening but just maybe)

I think everyone who's being offered stuff like this should just out the names of these guys. Hard to do anything about it without names.

It's not technically against the rules and edgemongers gonna edgemonger. Good for them, get all the money you can, kids. Once you get enough you'll almost definitely be able to buy back your integrity.

No wonder they crucified jesus

[Jessica94794]

if he's actually just staking / offering advice during gameplay, seems like a free coaching opportunity for me.

Seems gross overall...

I don't understand a) why would you want to buy a piece from someone who you feel the need to coach/ghost late or b) Why would any horse agree to the stake given this dynamic.

So yeah gross/lame/weird, but I'm not sure what you should do with the info.

Doesnt make sense

I would put alot of people in the million where i would think that they are quite lost in lategame and i dont see why someone unexperienced wouldnt want coaching in lategame

Fairly sure it is technically against the rules to offer someone realtime advise IF they have a %.

Fairly sure in the thread that stealthmunk made last year a stars rep came in and said its fine if ur roomates/just friends, but if you have any monetary incentive it breaks the ToS
