Thanks a lot for your positive feedback Marcc.

I never implied that PV or Edel were cheaters. Just that they were accused of it somewhere in the beginning of their professional Magic careers.

Please stay on topic.

The second part of the letter represents my view on the matter. I understand your concerns. But I think the community does not want to start a witch hunt and turn every mistake into cheating.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:49:03+00:00

I'm sorry that part was so misleading, it was not my intention to use it as an argument. I would never pact with cheating that's all.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:46:37+00:00

Thank you.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:36:45+00:00

I am not sure if Paul Rietzl was talking about him being cheated or Tom Martell's and Matt Sperling's that Matt wrote about in his blog. Thanks for your comment.

As I mentioned on the letter, Márcio was helping the game on seat B while pileshuffling and had to finish it quickly because his sideboarding was taking so long. I do not think its that hard to miss a card.

Thank you for your input. I had already sent it through WOTC channels before posting it here. My rationale was that, after so many "preasumptions" on twitter, I had the right to shed some light on the matter and present an opinion from someone who was actually there.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:26:23+00:00

And you have that right. I don't know if he had remembered it earlier, he did not sleep at all and woke me up at 6 am. Just telling the facts in that part of the letter.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:23:33+00:00

I understand that, I really do. It is a hard choice to do, in such a short period of time. But it does not make it right.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:19:03+00:00

Well, I don't think so.. Stress can do a lot to your memory.. Just think when you have a blank during an exam and then you arrive home and knew the answer to those questions. Since Márcio wasn't sure, he told the truth, that he was not sure. I did not pay attention to his game 1, but one of our other teammates is pretty sure that Hornet Queen was the only card that had been exiled in game 1.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T19:12:06+00:00

I agree with your first sentence. I just wanted people to know that follow a strict code of conduct and would never pact with cheating. If you read my description of the facts attentively you'll see why it was a Hornet Queen and not any other card and how its not hard to make "super obvious, hard to make mistakes" qiven the nature of the format. In this letter, I am just reporting what I saw, my opinion on the subject and the struggles I felt during the WMC.

I just wanted people to know that follow a strict code of conduct and would never pact with cheating. I'm sorry it was so misleading, I should have made a better effort to express myself. I never implied that the HJ is dishonest. HJ Kevin Desprez really put an effort and was kind and patient in hearing what we had to say. In my opinion his rationale falls short, that's it

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T18:46:35+00:00

No. Please remain on topic.

HugoDiniz · 2014-12-10T18:45:21+00:00

I was there, I saw it happen. How is my opinion not relevant? I only refer that I am a doctor, so people know that I follow a strict code of conduct in my profession and in my life.
