M1A1 has been banned

[Kelen]

It's a shame. Understandable, but a shame.

I had played him twice under his old handle of 101, and although he was a lucky SOB I beat him then.

Have 4 games underway with him as M1A1 and didn't twig that he was the same guy. Was expecting to beat him soundly in 3 of the games; 2 of which were mirror games on a scenario he'd designed himself! So I really don't think he was in anyway cheating this time, (not with me anyway), and having read the posts at FGM I've not seen anyone accusing him of in-game cheating since his return, (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), only someone stirring things up by suggesting, (without any evidence), that as he had done so in the past, that he would do so again, (and there was me thinking that your were meant to have a clean slate after having served your time!) But's that's there, not here, so it's up to them.

It's a shame that he had snuck into the Blitz under a different name, but then I suppose had he come back using his old one the stigmer of his banning, (as was happening over at FGM), would have probably meant that he would have struggled for a game anyway, even though he was probably now going 'straight'.

I suppose the only thing he could have done was to approach the custodians once his ban was over and put forward suggestion for returning under a new name. That way they would have been aware without it prejudicing him with the rest of the club.

As I've said, his subsequent banning is understandable, but a shame.
