Masters of Endurance utilizes Live for Speed to host and execute its schedule. As such, all competitors make use of Live for Speed and the functionality it offers. This functionality is equal for all competitors. In addition, Masters of Endurance heavily relies on the sportsmanship of its competitors. The use of an exploit or cheat (in this case to gain an unfair advantage over the fellow competitors), or the use of an external program which has an direct influence to the functionality of Live for Speed, is therefore a direct affront to the core principles of the Masters of Endurance and an insult to all of the Masters of Endurance competitors: it is a breach of the spirit of the league.
Any actions taken against the core principles of the league will be dealt with in harsh terms.
After carefully considering the facts related to Sasa Pasic (Scipy)'s exploit/cheat we, the MoE admins, have come to the following conclusion. Based on the evidence provided, the following actions will be taken:
Any information posted regarding the nature of this exploit/cheat will be removed.
Finally, we would like to caution against abusing Sasa for his error in judgment. While we find his behavior reprehensible, in the end he confessed to using the exploit, and this honesty has resulted in a seasonal rather than a lifetime ban.
