Dear players,
Well, the "past conviction" Martin writes in the thread titled " Official statement concerning the candidates of the May 2016 UAB elections" I would assume has to deal with the days when I just started playing Airlinesim.
When Aspern started, many airlines began using "small seats in business class". I was playing in India on Aspern at that time, and my largest competitor (from the infamous Chinese alliance) was starting to grow at a tremendous rate. After having closely investigated what was going on I realized he was using slimline (HD) seats in business class, while charging top money. I copied and implemented this strategy, as have many other airlines on Aspern at that time, and was later declared to be "cheating" along with tens of other airlines for having implemented this strategy,
This is another case where there was any lack of a clear rule, which as a member of UAB, if elected, I will work hard to change - to publish and make rules clear so players do not unwittingly engage in their breaking.
In regards to the current investigation, I do not believe any wrongdoing was done.
A very thorough reply was submitted to AS today.
One of the main reasons I was applying for UAB is to pursue a definition of certain undefined behaviors. To open (public) discussions about whether some currently undefined actions and behavior should be prohibited by rules (or hard code), whether some should be allowed and to what extent, etc. Currently, there is a larger scale of undefined behaviors and actions than both defined (legal) and prohibited combined.
Having said that, I would have loved to represent you in the UAB for these reasons:
- I know the game like no other and can assess any case like no other. This insight would have helped to establish a fair judgment
- My support to the community is outstanding, as I did and will continue to help, explain, teach and mentor existing as well as new players in the forum as well as in the game worlds.
- My ideas for the UAB would have made AS great again and strengthened the players voice
I'm the one who truly cares about you and this game! Thank you if you had planned voting for me.
P.S. I strongly believe UAB should decide on the pending allegations before the election to the UAB is over. My response will be submitted in the coming hours and I petition UAB to review the response promptly, paying attention to all the detail provided, profoundly analyze the information received, and decide to the best of their conscious and judgement.
Regards,
George
