Legitimate question - where did gb say they would use their own money to guarantee a jj win?
It was posted in the PSL discord, JJ already posted the screenshot here but the full quote is "I still think you should not be banned and I will donate to make sure you don't end up excluded from this season"
My point being, why am I wasting my money if he's already decided the outcome of this auction?

but since you seemed extremely disingenuous I decided to specify this now.
I donated 25m last season and planned on doing the same this season, although my bid of 30m was a bit higher than I planned, I don't see in what way I came off as disingenuous. I had full intentions of paying if I won the auction, up until you told everyone you would use your own money to guarantee JJ wins the auction. If pulling out of an auction that you'll rig to get the result you want is ban worthy, then so be it

I will ask that the highest bidder sends his/her bid amount to "pslxiv". pslxiv will return the amount whenever there is a new higher bid
so the moment you mention in discord that you're going to insure JJ plays using your own money, you create a new rule stating I have to mail you 30m cash
this system is already pooped but creating new rules as you go while telling people how it'll end is braindead, why would I mail you the money when you've already stated in dc that you'll use your own money to guarantee he plays? I'm not going to jerk you off and mail money back and forth if you've already decided who's going to win the auction, so we can stop wasting time and bring JJ's bid back to his counter to kami @ 16m, seeing as I'm now out

bank account is drying up so JJ is getting mad ?

Last season, there were 90~ players and only around 20 different donators, a few of them who didn't play, including me and my 25m donation.
If you wanted to increase donations, you'd make it a requirement to donate 1m per person and you'd immediately have 90+ million, not even counting the people who don't play. The fact that the host is OK with a random like myself with a lot of money having the chance to keep someone out because he wants more donations is just sad when there are better ways to earn donations.
My first posts were disagreeing with the system as a whole and I used JJ as an example why rich players shouldn't get to choose who plays, but it doesn't seem like the host really cares.
With that being said, I'm going to abuse this awful system because I think it's funny how bad this season will be, so 25 on JJ

If you’re willing to pay 10m to keep someone banned that you don’t know, there was never and will never be a girl to steal
if you think 10m is a notable amount of money, we're in for a long auction

historically in PSL, banned players would either be allowed to play in the following season or have to pay a 1M fine
I understand the value of wanting to follow the standards of previous hosts, but I believe if the circumstances warrant it, there's nothing wrong with creating your own standards for the future.
To be completely transparent, I'm against one specific player being allowed to play; The player who abused their power of being host, cheated their own rules, and downplayed the effects of their cheating after the fact. I see zero value in this player being allowed to return. I've read through more posts than I'd like to admit, and they constantly flip-flopped every other post between "I did it, it's wrong", "This season was boring, cancel PSL", or sarcastic attempts at jokes not even 2 days after it coming out.
If they were willing to cheat at the highest level as host while never really taking responsibility for it, what reason do you have to trust they won't cheat as a player? Other than your potential bias of being a council member under him that season, what makes you confident he won't get bored 5 weeks in and cheat again? From what I've read, his main defense was boredom, but as I mentioned earlier he really changed his opinion every few posts, so it's hard to gauge which ones were serious or sarcastic.
I'm not trying to bring up past drama, but I do believe this is relevant when you're giving someone the ability to just pay their way out of jail. What is preventing me from cheating if something of this magnitude can be forgiven with a small donation to the event? JJ himself is making the argument that no host has perma-banned someone before, so what kind of message does this send to people who will now cheat knowing there will never be long-term repercussions?

the community should then get together and outbid that individual.
This entire system seems like a cowardly way of unbanning people while ridding yourself of the responsibility if something goes wrong. No member of the community is going to unironically pay money to keep someone banned. Either go through each case and make a decision, or unban them all, but at least have the balls to make the decision yourself instead of making people pay to moderate the event you're hosting, and using the excuse that we should pay if we disagree with someone returning.
At the end of the day, I only spectate & bet on these events, so these decisions have little effect on me (besides cheaters changing the outcome of games) so it truly is up to the host each season, but at least make the decisions yourself instead of putting the responsibility on everyone else. -

So what you're saying is that one offense deserves a lifetime ban
I believe it should be a case-by-case basis, but the host themselves taking advantage of their limited power & trust the community had in them fits my standards of what should be deserving of a lifetime ban. However it appears to me that as long as someone is a good player & longtime member of the community, you can pretty much do whatever you want in these events and someone will find a way for you to get back in.

And to be fair, most of these instances of "cheating" relates to coaching, which has now been allowed in other events. Also, as this is an unofficial event there really isn't anything more that a host can do other than suspend or ban that individual from the event. We don't have more severe punishments as we are not official staff.
I'm not sure what your point here is. I'm not asking for them to be banned from the game, I'm asking for them to be disallowed from participating in an event that they've cheated in, and the hosts absolutely have the power to do that, but in this thread have chosen to give that power back to the banned players themselves. And it's no surprise that you of all people would disagree with this (maybe Munya can remove my post for disagreeing with you?)

Majority were season long bans
Maybe this is where the problem is? If I know I'll only be banned for a season or two, why *wouldn't* I cheat? Seems like we're creating a system that promotes cheating if you care about winning now instead of playing in the next PSL 8 months from now, and even then you can just pay your way back in anyway. There is literally no downside to cheating in this PSL it seems.

good to know we can cheat with no repercussions as long as we pay money for it, should be a fun season

PokeMMO is more difficult than the original games, you have to level up more than just your starter Pokemon if you want to beat the game. I'd level up the Pikachu for Misty, but be aware that the AI have proper items/moves/etc so you will need to improve your team beyond just Charmander/Pikachu if you want to find any success in later gyms

it is impossible with classic farms to reach those figures.
I disagree. There are a lot of ways for players to invest their money at lower levels, and an event like this is the perfect time. Goodie Bags as I type this are selling for 18k each, but will be sold at minimum 50k+ next year. This, along with the new event/limited items, are cheap enough and safe enough for anyone to invest in, even if they have only a few million. (if you have less than that, investing shouldn't be a priority)

the boss actually became easier once they nerfed Taunt, and I'm able to beat it in around 8-12 minutes depending on rng. You can learn these strategies pretty easily if you spectate a lot of games, and the cost of building these teams is very little compared to what you'll make once you're farming it. I don't understand the complaints about the difficulty when there are strategies that work very well against it

no, I'm not the host making new rules and deciding beforehand who I want to win. You can use the money as your excuse all you want, but I'm not pulling out because I don't want to mail the money, I'm pulling out because the host has already decided who is going to win and there is no point in participating any further.
