I strongly dislike the idea of combining the old predictions of three accounts - they were clearly intended to be kept separate, and it has the potential to actually raise cbaron's score - which would be the exact opposite of punishing him

It also has the potential to lower it. And I'd say it has the greater potential to lower it than raise it. You're merging a lower ranked account with a higher account so surely the odds are in favor of their being more changes for the worse, than for the better? Plus, it's far more likely that you will make the riskier picks on the account that is further behind imo.

And taking away a potential team overall victory is pretty damn punishing if you ask me.


I agree that the evidence stacks up despite the denial. There's always the chance that they are two seperate users.

But what are the chances that two new users join the Oracle with both of them happening to be pretty damn handy predictors. Plus they decide to team-up. Plus they both post at times close to each other with 1 account logging out before the other one posts. It's highly, highly suspect to me.


The easiest way of clearing this up is if they provide Carvy with some proof they are seperate entities. Even if it's kept to PM's.

I'm fine with whatever Carvy decides.
