Ultimately, I can see where you guys are coming from. My proposal would be very hard to enforce, and probably useless. Although the stipulations I proposed have happened before, so who knows. Which is why I hoped someone else might come up with another solution...
To fixing FFA matches or tampering of biju fights in general? My suggestion for both:
Tampering with the spirit of the process is very serious, but we don't want to turn FFA's and such into Clinton email server investigations and Russian hacking allegations. What I am proposing is not at all going to sound like me, but rest assured, it's my thoughts:
FFA's and tournament style biju fights should require a Honor system, similar to what universities have for tests and such. All participants agree to abide by a certain "honor code" that, currently, would consist of the following key points:
- As a participant, I agree to abide by the rules of the Game (game/forum rules) to the best of my ability.
- As a participant, I agree to remain courteous and polite towards my fellow participants, even if he or she is not reasonably courteous and polite towards me. I will attempt to the best of my ability to be a good sport in the event of an unfavorable outcome.
-As a participant, I agree to follow the rules of the Tournament and/or Free-for-All and will accept any punishments or boons that may result from being found to be in compliance or out of compliance with said rules.
-As a participant, I agree that if I or another participant at any point is found guilty of a Honor violation, then subject to appeal only to the Biju Council, I accept any punishments or boons that may result from the violation.
- As a participant I agree to acknowledge any Official (declared by judge, tournament conclusion results, dice rolls by valid party, bracket creations by valid party, etc.) outcomes.
- As a participant, I will report any unethical behavior that comes to my attention.
Punishments for violations of honor system should vary, but no greater than a stripping and/or ban from all things biju for 6 months and nothing less than disqualification from the competition.
As for tampering with biju fights in general, all complaints of cheating and/or unethical conduct must be publicly made to the Biju Council with evidence supporting the claim. Evidence includes:
* Screenshots of SL or SLF (shinobilegends forum PM conversations) that contain incriminating information implicating at least one of the accused of engaging or encouraging others to engage in the specific behavior that the accuser is accusing the accused of.
*Records of other conversations, text or graphical, outside of the context of SL or SLF that can be verified by at least one other person.
* Record of a full conversation (from greetings to end) of a confession statement made by the accused.
Global moderator or Game Master verification of private correspondence on SL and SLF may be requested, but any and all involved (accused and others who may have messages) must be notified via PM via both SL and SLF before the request is carried out.
Punishments again range between removal from all things biju for 6 months, loss of Council seat, etc.
