I do not know where to begin, but here it goes....

Although, admittedly, I saw the first and second page of this post last night

when there were only 100 posts I decided to let this thread evolve till

I arrived in Vegas and now I'm definitley glad I made that decision

because it has given me a clear perspective on who my true friends are and

has caused me to re-evaluate the character of those who I thought were friends/

supporters...

I really don't know where to start, there are so many things

people think they know but in reality they have no clue of. I guess I'll start

off with MattG's claims:


The fact of the matter is that the situation took place over a year ago where I messaged MattG on pocketfives during the tournament telling him I am helping my friend in this satellite so he was

aware of it. I noticed afterwords he hadn't responded so I AIMed him to

 see if he got it. I was literally astonished when I heard him

say I bragged or gloated since there is no shot I would EVER do that,

 and anyone that knows me even a LITTLE knows that is SO absurd to say.  I have no clue how he got the impression that I was bragging, but it is so wrong and I WISH I had the conversation to post on here because everyone would see that nothing I said was even CLOSE to bragging.   

 

Andy McCleod, I'm almost speechless at your post. I guess I should not be surprised that you are so immature at 16 (yes Andy Mcleod is 16 for those of you who didn't know) . If you are going to lie about your age and say you are playing professionally, then you should be able to responsibly choose your games. That is the most basic prerequisite for even playing professionally. Furthermore, I have no idea why you are pretending that we were friends. I don't even think we've talked on MSN for more than 30 minutes collectively. How you can try to say with a straight face that I took advantage of you...one of the best players in the online world...is truly beyond me, and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to suggest that. Were you planning on returning the money if you won, or are you entitled to take free shots on tilt and if u lose simply impose a moral dilemma on the person who beat you?

 

As far as the situation with FTP goes I hope that everyone can understand

 the intense scrutiny that I am under and be respectful and patient at this

time.  I currently am in the process of finalizing a formal interview with a

major media outlet to explain the situation that has been discussed.

 Please understand that it would be impossible to address everyone's

questions/comments by responding to each one individually. 

Obviously, I am doing this interview so that I can hopefully answer

all of your collective questions and concerns.

 

I am hopeful the interview will take place this weekend, but

it will certainly be as soon as possible.  I promise to be fully open

and honest about the situation.

 

I would like everyone to know that I appreciate your thoughts and concern on this matter.  The support is appreciated. 

P.S. YTIU is posing as yellowsub and created the RIP Imper1um thread in case anyone did not figure that out.

Grinder, Andy brought this up first, Sorel is just speaking upon what Andy brought up in the first place. Sorel was just addressing this issue that was posted in a different thread.

why Ship? Do you have conclusive proof of anything? I am not about to get on a forum fight or whatever, I am of a peaceful "live and let live" philosophy, my post is in regards to a friend, as I would post about any other friend, and that most people should not throw stones when they live in glass houses themselves (not meaning you, meaning EVERYONE!). Just wait for the final resolution and then act accordingly... and don't be so quick to judge when there is always more then meets the eye...

Still completely confused on the mattg situation- did you just help your friend on a few key hands, or take over the tourney for him by buying his account? Either way, don't know if buying seats was illegal on UB back then, but ethically I believe its wrong to buy accounts. Also, someone's not being truthful about the bragging situation, who knows who's lying.

Andy tried to kick Sorel while he was down for something that was beyond ridiculous, while claiming to be his friend.  Turnabout is fairplay and all.

Ship, once my account on FTP was closed for 2 months cuz I bought credits from someone who I had no idea was involved in some online scandal too. Does that make me guilty? As if... I am too lazy to plan and scheme a multi account whatever, and still I was victim of this, so give me a break before attacking me with any type of morals and ethics... Dead serious...

Boke: Meh, I certainly feel you and part of me agrees but I also think it's kinda retarded for imper1um to insult andy's maturity while simultaneously outing him as a matter of petty revenge for Andy telling the 5k hu story.

I have 0 problem with Zang outing Andys age. Alot of people knew that already anyway. There was no need for Andy to jump in and kick zang when he was down.

As far as Im concerned he got what he deserved.

I'm not attacking Maridu or anyone else who personally knows him, I'm just saying that people who are friends are so quick to turn the head and look the other way thinking they could never do such a thing. 99% of the time they end up guilty and everyone who defends them ends up feeling dumb.

The evidence is pretty damning here, plain and simple.

No one here ( myself for the matter ) knows what goes on behind closed doors.
