The outrage was over a zero being entered intentionally on one of the guesses. It intentionally lowerd MCA's accuracy to make them look bad.

Posted by: VictorY on Jan 23, 13:01 in response to Ruthian23's post Yeah. I guess I was just kind of saying that I didn't...

And as we've now discovred, MCA didn't create the actual account. Someone's just tyring to paint the site as overall inaccurate by cheating them this way.Ā  That's what got everyone upset.

MCA never joined EAP. They never entered any guesses whatsover. {nm} VictorY Jan 22, 22:51

They have an account and they entered picks. {nm} Karl_S Jan 22, 22:58

I've spoken to Sensei. That account is not them and should be removed. Someone's impersonating them. VictorY Jan 22, 23:05

If they have a problem with it they can use the feedback option. Karl_S Jan 22, 23:11

NO. Remove the account or I'll report it to MCA... Don't make me repeat this... {nm} VictorY Jan 22, 23:12

Take a Valium. Report it to MCA and let them handle it at the site of the game. This isn't the place for it. {nm} Vashta Nerada Jan 22, 23:57

Alright. I'll do that. But let's be clear, I really think we're burning a bridge here. MCA will never do anything EAP after this. VictorY Jan 23, 00:43

You are NOT Sensei right? So you cannot speak for him. {nm} grammar Jan 23, 00:54

No, I'm not Sensei... I already spoke with him once today and he didn't seem happy. We do this and (my opinion) they will never join EAP. {nm} VictorY Jan 23, 00:57

If that's what you want then, like I said, "missed oppurtunity." I don't see this ending well. {nm} VictorY Jan 23, 00:59

If there's an EAP/MCA rumble, can I buy tickets? Will it be in 3D? {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 23, 06:58

Accuracy not being fudged??? Someone intentionally enterting a guess of "0" didn't seem suspicious to you??? VictorY Jan 22, 23:47

You make "Internet threats" and you call somebody else childish. L5 {nm} Vashta Nerada Jan 22, 23:58

Its not a "threat" genius. Here it's much easier to resolve this. We go the feedback route. Sensei and Iron Fist will not be happy. VictorY Jan 23, 00:17

As well as never participate with anything EAP in the future. That would be a missed oppurtunity considering their site's success. {nm} VictorY Jan 23, 00:19

SHUT UP ALREADY! Or at least learn to use, "I" "We" "Us" "You" and "They" properly. {nm} tawdryhepburn Jan 23, 02:25

If it isn't Sensei doing those estimates on EAP God, why do you care about the so-called impostor's accuracy? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 23, 03:21

He's worried that this will prove how inaccurate mca is. {nm} eyescovered Jan 23, 03:43

Truer words have never been posted. {nm} BionicMoron Jan 23, 05:58

Because the impostor is using MCA's name. Regardless of what you may think of the site, impersonating someone isn't cool. {nm} Roger More Jan 23, 06:06

+ 1. {nm} VictorY Jan 23, 12:58

Thank you Karl, and thank you grammar for looking into this, for your work as always. second gary Jan 23, 06:19

I wonder if there's a way to change the person's name to indicate that it's someone else entering MCA's picks. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 23, 07:00

I don't see the point in blemishing EAP with an electronic trace of an unwilling participant's guesses, even if entered by someone else. second gary Jan 23, 07:05

Point taken, but I also don't think it would necessarily be a bad idea to enter the predictions for outlets like V, THR, BOG, and others to Ruthian23 Jan 23, 07:22

That would be interesting, but it's beyond EAP's job description, I think, and... second gary Jan 23, 08:12

Yeah, I definitely don't want them to burden themselves with an extra duty since they do plenty already. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 23, 08:27

Yeah, you're probably right that the person wasn't really claiming to be MCA, but just putting in the site's predictions to compare them. Roger More Jan 23, 08:23

Yeah. I guess I was just kind of saying that I didn't quite get the outrage expressed. {nm} Ruthian23 Jan 23, 08:30

There's a lot about MCA I don't quite get. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 23, 09:00

The outrage was over a zero being entered intentionally on one of the guesses. It intentionally lowerd MCA's accuracy to make them look bad. VictorY Jan 23, 13:01

I think there is another more charitable interpretation. second gary Jan 23, 13:24

You don't know that it was intentional, and given every thing is public it seems unlikely. Plus it only got one person upset. {nm} Roger More Jan 23, 13:25

(I mean, intentionally made to make MCA look bad) {nm} Roger More Jan 23, 13:28

A lot more than one person was upset. It wasn't a fair deal, you'd feel differently if it was done to you... {nm} VictorY Jan 23, 13:47

Not on these boards. {nm} Roger More Jan 23, 13:56

I'm not sure 3 is really "a lot more than one person". BionicMoron Jan 23, 13:59

No one cares. Go away and take mca with you. It's caused nothing but trouble on here. {nm} eyescovered Jan 23, 14:11

I secretly like the drama. I find it entertaining to read. {nm} PRodQuanta Jan 23, 17:15
