now thats just slander....you have no proff saying that he cheated or ever cheated....i mean comon that was completely uncalled for

Well..., look how the Simpsons described it (By changing words here and there)

There's 'Cheating' :grin:

and...

There's 'Cheating' :angry:

Plus, I hear he lost game 1, and was losing game 2 pretty bad anyway.

yep, in print it's libel. Didn't you watch Spiderman?

The judges mmost probably dealt with the ruling by what they call the 'players intetion' . Because it might be a cheating move, it might not, so they will take into account both sides of the story, and all the possible aspects they can consider and make a ruling.

Bahh! I have never met or even spoken to hans but i know many people who have. All of them agree he is a nice guy and a great vs player. I have read a lot about this incident and I beileve he made a mistake. However I think the mistake is a little shady. I think the punishment is right and Just. The thing i dont like is how pansyish the UDE is. But thats just me. I still respect Hans Hoh and will continue reading articles of his as everyone should.

So does ninth place now get in

Man...DQ with no money...after all of that hard work and traveling...For something that was not even cheating.I think it was all a misplay.I dont think that was right..I have played againts hans and he has always played right.Its not like him to "cheat" I think it was all a misplay...That same thing would had happened to me as well cause if the reign is still on the stack on chain to the reservist replaced.......whatever:(

You cannot conclusively say this. The report states he put Answer the Call in the resource row before Shape was Reigned. I don't like it either but how can you misplay from there?

I tend to agree with Alex here, maybe we should just quote that post every two pages or so.

IMO, Hans wants to play Answer The Call but with Shape back to hand, he cannot do that. So, he decide to set Shape instead to allow him to play.

Was Hoh wrong? Probably. Should Hoh have been given a game loss? Yes. Should he have been given no prizes? That's the issue.

For the record, Hans lost my respect in game 1 of that match anyway. Karl had Psimon out and he refused to conceed the damn match. Then he began to accuse Karl of having an extra card in hand, and in general he was being really petty until turn 9 when he scooped to boosted light. :/

Which doesn't really help when it comes to looking at this scenario. This is what happens when people try to play "the game".

What is funny is the opponent had Doom in play, so getting the resource sent back to the hand didnt really matter at that point. Maybe if the opponent didnt have the extra Reign and Paralysis, then it would have been a bit different.

How good is Hoh's reputation on the gravy train?
