mobit's blog

I was thinking about only div 2 contests and I decided to NOT register for them because some of div1 users do something shameful and make a new account and participate in div2 contests ...

Like these two accounts :

JuanMata

smart_lovely_JuanMata

do I understand correctly that you're supposed to report that to admins privately instead of publishing to a blog? This could be another user trying to make fun of him, as well.

i noticed this during the contest itself, and all i can say is:

  • except for the similarity in handles, i have no relation to the account smart_lovely_JuanMata.
  • i have no intention to create a fake account on CF. u can see that i have participated in many Div-2 only contests (most recently #249 and #242) unofficially.
  • even if i were to create a fake account, i wouldn't so obviously point out the handle of the original one.
  • i was a tester for yesterday's round, so i could have submitted solutions as admin rather than using a fake account.
  • Juan Mata is a very popular Spanish footballer (the 2014 FIFA World Cup starts in a week, so u can know more by watching him urself :P). he used to play for Chelsea FC (my favourite team) between 2011-2013, but he currently plays for Manchester United wearing the #8 jersey (which probably explains the account BadCoach).

i hope ur all convinced that i'm just an ordinary user who means no harm to CF. i am here just to improve my algorithm skills, and maybe even help some others do the same. :)

Same handle != same person.
