Ok, where to begin... The tournament went really well until the last match: me vs. Stella. Very early on in the first spar, when I think we were both tied at 8, I pretty much realized that I wasn't sparring Stella and confronted "her." She was sparring exactly like a defensive version of Halo with the exact same delay and had his basic movement, neither of which I had ever seen Stella do.

Later on, at some point in time during either the first or second spar, I saw her do a move that I've never seen her do before, and the only person I remember ever seeing doing it in the same manner was Halo. It was a move where he would get on the wall and rush straight at you, run into the seats (an indention in the spar), and hit you in the side. This is a move that Stella would never dream of doing, and the only person I've ever seen do it in the exact same manner is Halo. I was almost completely convinced when this happened that who I was sparring was actually Halo.

So, I had the person on Halo's account come to the spar. I asked "him" to spar me real quick, but "he" very quietly declined. In fact, I was trying to talk to both of them and neither of them would say anything. I think they said a total of about a dozen words (literally) the entire 5+ minutes I was accusing them of switching accounts (you would think they would want to more verbally defend themselves).

Although I was about 95% sure at this point in time, I then decided to hit Halo to test his delay, and I was stunned (not really) when he had 0, absolutely no, delay whatsoever (anyone who has sparred Halo knows that he always delays, so there was absolutely no doubt in my mind now that it wasn't Halo on his account and that they had switched accounts).

I continued sparring and "Stella" eventually won. Immediately after the spar, according to Neo Jenova, Halo and Stella logged off and got back on to hide their IPs and leave no proof that they switched accounts. Halo has done this kind of thing before. He had someone elses account banned before for sparring on their account in order to win a tournament for them, and someone else mentioned to me tonight that he had sparred for Aarian before, as well (although I can't verify this).

Here are the links to some screenshots, that although are not absolute proof (which I think is impossible to get at this point in time, excluding a confession from someone who knows the truth), support my claim:

Ares was mad at me for not letting Neo Jenova in the tournament because he was late and I had already invited the alternates and made and massed the list out, which is why he is saying "dont tell hl this."

Below him you can see Xanatos, a member of Halo's own family and the guy who helped me host the tourney, saying that it looked like Halo was sparring for Stella. What went on after this ss, I'm still trying to figure out.

In this screenshot, you see part of my conversation with Prado, a friend of Halo's. He is talking with Stella and Halo on either another server or on AIM. The general tone of the conversation implied that Halo and Stella had more or less confessed to the fact that they switched accounts to him. He is saying that "the real Stella says she could beat u anyways," meaning that at least Stella had confessed to him.

Below him you see Xanatos again, the member of Halo and Stella's family and the guy who helped me host the tourney, saying that they were "only having fun" since it's only Graal.

I decided after the tournament, after I gathered the evidence and it was pretty clear to a lot of people that they had switched accounts, to disqaulify both Stella and Halo from the tournament. Neither of them will ever be invited to anything I host again, unless they own up to what they did (at least to me in private).

Unfortunately, there's no way to know who would have won the tournament had this all not occured, but there's also no real fair way to go back and fix it (since Halo was possibly sparring for Stella as early as her spar against Exodus, and certainly in her spar against Thallen).

Due to the disqualification of Stella and Halo, the results of the tournament are:

1st place: Highlander
2nd place: Quick Strike
3rd place: Thallen

Also, don't expect a terrible amount of replies from me in this thread. I can only post one message every eight hours.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and I'm sorry to anyone who was beat in the tournament by Halo/Stella.

You can be mad at me for not inviting you without accusing me of rigging my own tournament. I like the fact that I'm accused of rigging my own tournament because two other idiots decided they were going to switch accounts because it would be fun/funny. I should have listened to other people when they said that I shouldn't have invited Stella to begin with. Oh well, it's done now.

More rules would be nice like if you have Monstrous Lag of Doom then you cant participate unless you fix it. Also i say Stella beat you until i see REAL proof that says otherwise. I meen ever heard of UDP. Shes totally different when she changes it.
