THE GREAT MAY WCG CONTEST: XSTM vs. XSTA! XSTM NEEDS YOUR HELP to JOIN THE FUN!!!

[sunken]

ah you are right riptide, i checked XSTM msn group before i made my comment but somehow missed the new name/password message(even though the first time they change password i was informed from mad mikee's PM), so that was my bad. And based on couple of PMs mad mikee seemed like a nice guy but i also feel admins/XSTA were fair so it's hard to see the problem without going deep therefore i am not going to judge anything. After this hard lesson i am pretty we won't see this kind of unhealthy competition again. I am really glad to crunch under team XS and not regret a single bit of joining WCG.

I'm quoting this to ENPHASIZE this.

1) PW changes were informed.

2) It would have been hard for Mikee to inform through PM after a ban. Hence why this contest has been so difficult to even maintain let alone advance. Mikee was the preferred central point for 'borging' new entrants.
Although a team roster was maintained to some degree it by no means exhaustive.

3) XSTM prefered method of recruiting/attaching involves a series of steps that DO NOT REQUIRE a password. I believe that is how OPP had been attached to the XSTA account by Mad Mikee. See theres a PW work around for boinc WCG.
