OFC not Why would we even let a fake account about we knew take part in our contest? Just to give points to ourselves ? Would be lame IMO...And hence the reason I've stated that we haven't cheated with her

hongarius, ferrygraf and mimisthesc I just want you to know that I'm not upset with any of you (pissed a little bit maybe) but I'm immensely shocked and disappointed of what you guys did. We may all know each other only via a virtual environment but it isn't right to fool other people with an ego (alter-ego or whatever and however you want to refer to it) no matter how hilarious it will be and to get an innocent girl's picture all just for " troll's sake". I admit that I always troll around but I would never do such a thing, I still know my limits and boundaries as we're still dealing with real people with real emotions. If ever I get over board, I apologize immediately. As for Evička's participation in various online song contests (most especially in ISC), even if she doesn't give any of you 4 a single point and even if she only sends joke entries, it's still considered cheating as she takes a place from somebody else unfairly. Think of how many people who wanted to join ISC and they lose the chance to participate because of Evička. Do keep this in mind: Cheating is cheating as betrayal is betrayal, and that can define in many kinds of way. On the bright side though, I'm glad you guys took the initiative in unveiling who really Evička is among all of us forumers. It's a wise thing to do instead of leaving Hannes take all the blame. As for ASC and WWWSC, I strongly suggest to let all your participants register in this forum. And for ASC alone (just a suggestion), I would like the 12th and 13th placed SF songs to be the Wildcard songs 1 and 2 and the 3rd Wildcard song will be chosen by the previous winner. 'nuf said.
OFF TOPIC!
We have been catfished. I should of noticed because "evrika" knew how to read English but not write it. I feel dumb I'm not a big fan of watching Catfish on MTV but I get interested whenever I see it on.

mimisthesc ferrygraf When did this all start? I do remember a strange Czech gurl when I chatted with ppl on the forum of MelodyVision Song Contest more than 1 year ago. Everybody seemed to know her and like her. I'm not much involved in the world of song contests and I didn't check her out later. I've not heard of her in the last 2 years till now.
That's quite unbelievable how you 4 ppl managed her unique character and fooled others for so long.
I would've applauded you guys were it not for the fact that you used a real person's pictures and identity for the faked girl. That's simply not acceptable. I don't think it's a must that the real person should be contacted and apologized to, but think about it, what if she finds all that out someday?
Another thing, why you faked an undereducated Czech girl instead of a girl from some other country?
I'd feel sorry for the host of the contest where the fake account participated. It'd definitely be a nightmare for a contest host if he or she intends to maintain an honest and fair game.
Personally I'll forgive you guys because in terms of song contests, the fake account didn't do too much harm. But after all you really should've given it second thought before you faked that account and you should never do that again.

Hongarius deserves a ban, as far as I'm concerned... Let's say it like this: If I was on Petra's place I'd definitely took him to a Human Rights Court in Strasbourg... The other two don't deserve a ban, because they didn't started this, and didn't stole those photos... P.S. TBH, from Petra's face I can tell that she's an inteligent and interesting... I'd like to meet her... Are you serious? I know we all did a huge mistake, but taking us to court?! This is leading way too far. Apart from that, I don't think you know us or ever talked with us, at least I don't know you. The only people who are really involved in this story are Jessica as manager of ISC (where that fake account took part) and people we started conversations with on Facebook. So I beg you and all others here who judge us without knowing the situation or the background of it to listen to us and to give us a 2nd chance. We did something really dumb, but some of you make me feel like we've murdered someone. It was a game that went way too far, that's it.

OMG, I'm really shocked I never talked to "Evička" but almost all the forum knew and liked her, and I added her on Facebook. ferrygraf and mimisthesc I forgive you only because I appreciate you... But I feel sorry for Jess :/ Seriously, imagine that someone create a false identity, "just to troll", and then participate in WWWSC, you would be angry too...

Well it's useless to talk about banning or taking to courts now. HvdstrCBfr already said that he'll forgive them if they apologise in 1 week. And taking to courts for why? Like seriously they just took the pictures for a wrong but innocent purpose. Like they didn't make photoshops and put her face to pornstar's pictures.
I told them that I wished they had told me of this story before. I often chat with guys with msn. I felt like a jerk for some time. But personally I forgive them only because they created one awesome character and did their job in an entertaining way. At least not like all other annoying cheaters, taking a 2nd empty profile and ALWAYS giving 12 points to f*cking same player/country and do nothing else. (Plus, they already said they never cheated in the voting part.)

But I feel sorry for Jess :/ Seriously, imagine that someone create a false identity, "just to troll", and then participate in WWWSC, you would be angry too... I know, it wasn't correct. I also talked with Jessica meanwhile and apologized again personally, and I find it great that she's willing to give me a 2nd chance... Also thank you for your honest words, that FB account is deactivated meanwhile and won't be used again.

But if Hongarius is the guilty person behind the Petra pictures, the Warning-punishment will drop the hammer heavier onto him than ferrygraf and mimisthesc. I can't forgive you in a more peaceful way. It doesn't matter if we're having a huge name or a very unknown name for our discussion.

I really think we should stop this story. We made a big mistake, got a huge warning from the admins and I think we should leave it with that. Our image is totally ruined anyway. Especially Hannes'... Announcing it in this public thread is the worst detention we could get, everyone can read it and so it will be hard for us 3 to continue in this forum. Everyone will associate us with cheating, it cannot get any worse anyway.
I don't want to play this story down, but I think we learnt our lesson and I just want this nightmare to end now.
