To Pavel Laube - 2 | # 7238 |
| By the way Ivan Danilin provided his explanations to the Committee. The first phrase is "I hate to write this." There are no more emotions in his message. Despite his youth, Ivan explains very thoroughly and rationally: HOW and WHY he won all these 13 games. Including two games with Mr. Gorzecki. | |

To Pavel Laube | # 7237 |
| Pavel, greetings. You take such great care of the young players. Please tell your opinion. A young player comes to the Euroleague, plays the first 2 matches (14 games), and after that he should give some explanations to the team-opponent and the public: why he wins a lot of games? He should give explanations: HOW he wins, WHY he wins? Is this a normal situation? This probably increases the popularity of the Euroleague among young players? When you were a Euroleague newcomer, and played the first 2 matches, did you give some explanations about your game? | |

| Mr. Gorzecki, it's answer to your point 6.
PERSONALLY, we talked to you after the match. You didn't answer my next question (What exactly should I talk to Danilin about? - I asked you), you didn't say goodbye, and left the game room. This was the end of our PERSONAL communication. | |

RE: To Euroleague Committee and Alexey M | # 7231 |
| 1. I was the last one to play tokyo_jazz, all my bandmates warned me that they felt like they were playing with the program, so was I.
2. After the game, on the table I wrote to tokyo_jazz only ':)' 3. On the chat I politely thanked the opponents team for playing also with ':)' 4. Privately I wrote to captain off_minor to talk to tokyo because the games look dirty, he asked what would I do or a protest? - I replied that it was too early (after all, I am a serious and logical person, without an analysis of games and confirmation, I will not accuse anyone of 100%) 5. I have not written so far due to lack of time and I decided that whether I publish the analyzes a week or a month later does not matter. 6. I am surprised that if off_minor had any requests - he did NOT contact me PERSONALLY, I only found out that he tells fairy tales to other people and to the gomoku committee. off_minor: it's hard to trick someone in the face? make it easier for those who do not know the situation? 7. During the match I spoke politely, with a smile, without any hysteria, without any nasty words, (and privately) factually that I had doubts. a) Therefore, I find the request for an apology bizarre. b) I consider the attack on me, insults and twisted actions as an indirect confirmation of our suspicions. c) The suggestion that I have hurt a player so much that you have to leave the Euroleague is simply ridiculous and hysterical. | |

RE: To Euroleague Committee | # 7230 |
| Hi Alexey,
the committee cannot make Mr.Gorzecki apologize, nor there is sufficient material presented to us for his punishnment. He just told you his opinion in a private message within the heat of the lost match, you didn't provide a screenshot for us either, this is a thing between you two as for now, but I don't see a valid reason to hurt the competition and make your next opponent, one of the top teams, lose the chance to play another good and interesting match, also you make your players lose this chance. So it would be nice if you reevaluate your decision. Regards, Igor | |

To Mr. Gorzecki | # 7227 |
| Until Saturday, April 10, I always defended Mr. Gorzecki when everyone accused him of unclean play. But I won't do it again. After our match, Mr. Gorzecki accused my player - a young and talented Ivan Danilin, a Euroleague newcomer. Just like that, without a single proof. "Because it's 8-0", - Mr. Gorzecki said.
He does not know how to lose and same time keep calm and honor. The first reaction is a woman's hysteria. And he doesn't have the skills to be critical of his own game. If you are an experienced and well-known player, this does not give you the right to hurt newcomers. You are a weak and low man, Mr. Gorzecki. | |

sandra case | # 7219 |
| Some time ago there was a DaW: CzP match, during which sandra over 3 hours in a public chat room insulted me, tried various insinuations, and tormented other players. s/he also came to my table and disturbed my play. Apparently s/he has serious mental problems (this is nothing new, after all)
11.1. It is forbidden to speak in rooms during EL games at the table, except players playing their game at the moment, captains of playing teams, members of the Committee. They should only speak in reasonable cases. 11.2. No comments about the games are allowed until the game is over. Especially comments regarding moves and time are forbidden. I will ask those who voted in favor of this individual in EL: really? | |

RE: Sandra vs. PSGRiP | # 7209 |
| Sandra,
As you mentioned me in your message, I feel obliged to comment on this, as in my opinion, it would be fair to make things more clear. I'm not sure what you meant by suggesting that I know you well, but I would like to focus on another aspect. First of all, I voted "YES" as Dark Team captain, although my personal vote would be "NO". I was considering this case as relatively serious, for a few reasons, therefore I decided to consult it with my teammates (to be more precise - the active ones) and my final vote was based on their opinions. I don't think this is necessary to publicly share all my thoughts about why I would choose "NO", but basically you are right that every case like this one is more or less "personal", even if finally we see the arguments on respecting the rules, etc. So every single case shall be considered separately. It's natural that you analyze it from your own perspective, however others should rather see the wider context. You gave us an example of declared tournaments as a concrete loss on gomoku community side (btw. I think that we can't lose something that we don't really have, but it would be a separate philosophical discussion), nevertheless, I knew then about other declarations - regarding possible leaving the competition by some players, or maybe even teams, in case of your acceptance in EL as an anonymous player. Using your question on one million USD donation, how we can choose between you and someone else in such a case? It's hard to compare two players, but what if there would be 2, 3 or 4 players leaving? And what if it would be 1, 2 or 3 teams leaving because of you? You would rise the prizes to 20, 30 or 40 EUR and so on? I think that this is not an easy choice. But for me it was more natural not to choose someone who doesn't want (or can't, as you suggest) to meet standard EL Rules, in which non-anonymous playing is one of the core principles. Moreover, I have no idea how exactly other captains made their decision, but I know at least one another example of a similar approach as I described above. So, if I may honestly suggest, I wouldn't take captains' votes that personally, as probably there are your supporters (or good friends as you called them) also in the teams that voted "NO", as well as not everyone supports you in the "YES" teams. It's obviously your choice if you decide to generalize, but I thought it's worth to mention. Finally, I believe that a friend's role is not to support indiscriminately each other, especially if this is not in accordance with your beliefs. But I would expect my friends to be fair and communicating in an open and honest way. Best regards, Angst P.S. One additional thing about Czechs. Maybe not everyone knows that I really wanted to join CPL, as I find it very interesting and hard competition (almost like IRP :)). Finally, I was not accepted, as CPL rules allow only Czechs and Slovaks to play, so it looks like they are quite consistent in their approach to the rules! I don't feel offended anyhow and I fully respect this. I need to say more - I am really grateful that they hadn't ignored me, but they took it (more or less :)) seriously and considered my request. I will just ask next year once again probably :) | |

RE: The decisions | # 7208 |
| Sandra, why all this bs and conspiracy. I told you the reasoning of my decision, now you're asking me how much does a b*tch cost through some artificial construct. Btw. ''How much money is enough and why?'' I like your question based on your own induced premise :D.
Oh, that has to be a misunderstanding, my argument is actually Rule 2.4. The further treatment of potential cheaters among known players is a case of its own and I admit a tricky field, that's why you keep bringing that topic up I guess. The Rule 2.4 provides a decent precaution against anonyms who have much more free space to cheat etc. As I said, I think no known player wants to get their reputation stained. I don't say that no one did it in the past, but the thing is we all know who they are and I think they paid the price for doing so. All in all, let's just not make more chaos than what we actually need to. | |

2. I made it clear 'in another matter' 3. It's obvious, some know, many don't 4. Not briefly, you used the programs long enough. You said because they exposed you. But this is only a modest part of what your victims described: (example quotes) 'encouraged other people to meet very intimate' 'blackmailed into saying bad things about me' 'she enjoyed setting up numerous fictitious accounts and screwing players in' and so on 5.

RE: Sandra vs. PSGRiP | # 7206 |
| Okay, it's time to address a new portion of allegations by our old man :)
1. I never demanded payment or another benefit from the PSGRiP and never threatened the PSGRiP to reveal any secret information. I would qualify as a blackmailer if I had done those two things at once, but I did none of them. What actually happened is the public discussion referenced to by Usiek below. Everyone can follow the link provided by him, read the discussion, and make his or her own judgement. For convenience of the readers, I am posting the link once again: http://forum.gomoku.pl/viewtopic.php?p=59519#59519 When that public discussion was underway, I also had some private conversations with Usiek, the president of the PSGRiP, on the subject of that public discussion. Alicecooper seems to be alleging that I blackmailed the PSGRiP in those private conversations. To clarify the issue, I encourage Alicecooper to publish any private messages of mine and try to explain how he sees there any demands of benefits or any threats to reveal any secret. I believe I didn't make such demands and such threats. 2. Stepan Tesarik and Zoltan Laszlo indeed said I had done something that sounds like blackmail, but their statements actually refer to my recent offer of online tournaments with monetary prizes in return for a permission to play in the EL under my pseudonym. C'mon guys, no way can an offer of money or benefits in return for something qualify as blackmail. Everyone is free to offer anything in exchange for anything. 3. I strongly disagree with the notion that all captains who voted yes didn't know me well. Igor Eged and Piotr Malowiejski are excellent counterexamples. 4. The statement that I ''started gomoku 'career' by cheating people and played with the program'' is highly misleading because I never cheated while playing under known nicknames of mine. What actually happened is a few very brief experiments performed by me with programs in Bieniasze, the main playing hall on Kurnik, under totally secret nicknames created specifically for those experiments and used exclusively for them. I was a novice back then and simply wanted to get some answers about cheating by trying walking in a cheater's shoes. How strong are programs? Is cheating detectable by experienced players? Is it possible to cheat in one-minute gomoku? I didn't violate any rule, for there's no rule on Kurnik to prohibit using programs. Later I myself told people about those secret experiments and their outcomes, otherwise the community wouldn't know. 5. Alicecooper wrote on this forum about me, "This individual should not be admitted to the Euroleague under any conditions." However, a few weeks ago he wrote on this forum something very different, "If you play Euroleague with the camera on the back and the screen, I support it." Is it normal for Polish mature men to flip-flop like a landed fish? Alicecooper, I apologize in advance for asking a personal question, but do you have a spouse or a gf? I'm asking because your overall behavior looks like that of a lonely man. I know a lot about psychology and want to understand the root cause of your behavior. This might help me improve our interaction. | |

RE: The decisions | # 7194 |
| Frantisek, my dear young idealistic Czech friend, it looks like you really believe in principles :) When I was your age, I was as naive as you are. Let me shatter your world with one simple question. Let's suppose a billionaire comes and says he wants to donate one million dollars for gomoku under the condition that he be allowed to play in the EL under a pseudonym, because he is a famous billionaire and doesn't want his gomoku results to be discussed in tabloids. To stay on the safe side, he refuses to reveal his name to anyone in the gomoku community, but provides compelling evidence that he's a billionaire and that he has already donated a lot of money to various charities. Will you be against accepting his offer? You said in your last post, ''I treat the thing as a general principle, if it was anyone else, I would act the same.'' So will you act the same? Really? Will you really reject one million dollars? Will you really walk away from such an opportunity to secure funding for truly attractive monetary prizes in gomoku tournaments for years? And if not, what will you do if half a million dollars is offered? What if quarter a million is offered? How much money is enough and why?
Also, I believe my question about Alicecooper is right on point. Your argument is, ''I don't trust anonyms.'' So let's see whether you trust non-anonymous players. If you don't trust them either, your argument isn't worth a plugged nickel. Alicecooper is a non-anonymous player. Do you trust that he isn't a cheater? Yes or no, please. If you dodge this question once again, I'll take it as a no. If you trusted him, you would just say so. | |

| Sandra, as the President of PSGRiP, I can only confirm that you threatened us. According to the Polish law, whether someone has committed a criminal offense or not can be only determined by a criminal court's judgment. Therefore the PSGRiP is not eligible for judging on accusations.
I personally do not consider you to have committed a crime. Besides, the Polish counterpart of the English word blackmail - szantaz - is used in Poland in reference to not only criminal actions. | |

RE: The decisions | # 7191 |
| Sandra, you are right! I didn't answer that question and I will repeat myself once more - It is irrelevant to the issue of you playing or not playing in the EL. By the way I don't see it as a matter of balls. Nobody gives a sh*t about what I have to say about that since I'm noone and nobody knows me :D. I am truly mesmerized by all your achievements within and beyond gomoku yet once more - I treat the thing as a general principle, if it was anyone else, I would act the same. If you wanna play, I'm happy to play with you, but I do honor the rules of this competition. This particular rule serves as a prevention and I can see some sense to it, that's why I support its application. Surely the rules may change in your favor and if they do and they are reasonable, I will respect it. | |

RE: The decisions | # 7190 |
| I am posting the full results of the survey conducted by the EL Committee.
The question of the survey was: ''Is it ok for your team that Sandra Jones plays in EL under this pseudonym without revealing her real name?'' Mano Gyenei (7up): YES Zoltan Laszlo (Black and White): NO Jan Purkrabek (Czech Payback): NO Matej Holub (Czech Payback B): NO Robin Holusa (Czech Payback C): NO Stepan Tesarik (Czech Payback D): NO Jakub Roubicek (Czech Payback E): NO Piotr Malowiejski (Dark Team): YES Marek Gorzecki (Demons and Wizards): NO Alexey Mikhaylov (Humans-2015): YES Peter Jonsson (Luffarna): YES Csaba Kamaras (Only We): YES Igor Eged (Outsiders): YES Tatiana Volkova (Thunderstorm): NO Alexey Lebedev (Wake): YES The total result is 8-7 in favor of no. Ashot Avetisyan, the captain of Mind Infinity, was not asked. Not only did he support the idea of me playing in the EL under my pseudonym, but he was also prepared to let me play for his team. And because he accepted me to his team, he was excluded from the survey. Had Ashot been allowed to vote, the total result would have been 8-8. I thank from the bottom of my heart the captains and teams who voted yes. As of now I will treat all of them as my good friends. Thank you very much for your position. It's a pity that you turned out to be too few. There's something the gomoku community has to understand very clearly: everyone who contributed to the reversal of the decision to let me play under my pseudonym robbed the gomoku community of my regular tournaments with a monetary prize of 15 Euro for a random participant in each tournament. That is, one tournament per week, 52 tournaments per year, 780 Euro per year. This is what the gomoku community lost as a direct result of the decision reversal. The thing is that when I publicly announced my decision to organize those tournaments, I made it very clear that they were in return for letting me play in the EL under my pseudonym. My announcement explicitly stated, ''Motivated by such a kind decision, I decided to do something good for the gomoku community in return: starting in January, I will organize a series of regular online tournaments with a monetary prize of 15 Euro in each tournament.'' So there can be no excuse that the captains didn't expect that a reversal of the decision to let me play under my pseudonym would lead to a cancellation of my tournaments. And because the announcement of my tournaments was posted on the EL forum (in addition to the Polish forum, the Russian forum, and my Facebook page), there can be no excuse that the captains were not aware of the announcement. So once again: the teams that voted against me robbed the community of 52 tournaments per year and monetary prizes of 780 Euro per year, either deliberately or by terrible negligence, because my tournaments had explicitly been tied to the permission to play in the EL under my pseudonym. Furthermore, the gomoku community has now lost all my future donations altogether. I believe the gomoku community should value sponsors and organizers. I already donated a few hundred euros for the WBC, did a lot of work to co-organize the WBC, and wrote many articles about gomoku, and I run a Youtube channel about gomoku that has 47 subscribers. The channel is so interesting that people spent as much as one year of viewing time in total. And I asked for a little. No one would get harmed in any way if my request had been fulfilled. I'm not a random anonym. I've been widely known in the gomoku community as Sandra Jones since many years ago and have 67 Facebook friends from the gomoku community. Аs a Western researcher, I must avoid any Internet activity under my real name in order to protect my research career, so I chose a permanent pseudonym for the gomoku community. I am not a strong player and would probably lose much more games than I would win. There's no way I could affect the fight for the top places in any way. I only wanted to enjoy serious games in the gomoku world, a world I had so much contributed to. I am not asking to reconsider the decision reversal. I have completely lost my desire to play in the EL and make financial and organizational contributions to the gomoku community. I don't want to help a community that has refused to treat me humanly. The fun has been killed. I'll only play on Playok and other servers, chat with close friends from the gomoku community, and write posts when I feel like doing so. I am not leaving the community. I will still be with you. I will merely not make any further financial and organizational contributions. The purpose of my post is to simply let you know all the facts. I just want you to have full clarity as to how it happened that you lost me as a sponsor and organizer. | |
