Pleading guilty does not mean that you should be forgiven or let off the hook. Before anyone drops this issue 16bit needs to be held accountable and actually punished for the disgusting acts he attempted and in some cases went through with at NEC.
I will never forgive him as he brought into question the integrity of all east coast tournaments, their organizers as well as players by attempting to create scenarios where his friends and himself could succeed. After NEC, big-e almost did not receive an Evo qualifier, kombat network was not respected as a high example of how tournaments should be ran, and I myself needed to back away from helping my friends run the show in order to keep the peace.
Bit ruined the entire weekend of NEC for every mk player. Delays were at least 5 hours and two brackets where delayed a whole day due just to him. Since bit is a low life piece of shit making only $12 an hour, dispite being 30 years old... He probably can't pay everyone back amount of money they wasted traveling and entering NEC.
His negative attitude in tournaments is not hype, it is distracting, rude, and uncivilized. Ask anyone who went to WB, plenty of matches were incredibly intense. Bit wasnt there and no one was specifically yelling at players during the match in order to distract them. This kind of behavior needs to stop, and it stops with removing filth such as bit.
Bit should never be allowed to return to north east tournaments, he should not be allowed to test further nrs products, he shouldn't even be in the community anymore...period. For a while I thought about not buying injustice because he has been working with the game for some time. I'm worries that he has made specific characters imbalanced in order for his gga friends to have an advantage based upon who they want to play. Nrs should remove him fr their staff ASAP in order to keep their product clean and trustworthy.
I can't speak for the community at large, but I had a great weekend at WB. The only difference being the absence of gga. Even then some players such as relaxed state, astronaut, revolver, gross, and maxter were all affected by what 16bit did at NEC. The brackets were not up to the level that I "saved" at NEC. And these players had to eliminate partners and face imbalanced brackets not due to Phil or shock, but 16bit.
The event(s) I will be hosting in 2013 will not allow the likes of such poor character as 16bit. Other to's need to follow suit.
