TL:DR: Zephyr admitted to cheating and also didn't respect my boundaries.

Hey, I'm making this because I would like to clear things up, but to also stop something like this from happening again.

So to stay on topic, I'll get the important part over with.

I tried warning Zephyr about the situation, but he didn't listen and instead tried to manipulate bern into thinking everyone joined the server within a month, bypassing the rule.

He explicitly says to me he's trying to manipulate bern to get into ISTT. I know this is a for fun tourney, but if this happened on a bigger scale it could've been way worse. Need I say more.

Then, he also goes and asks the people on the team to not say anything so nothing happens to him.

Now nornally, I would stop the post here, but after getting some pictures from someone (asking for approval to post those; will update when I do) and seeing some shit, I need to continue.

Zephyr, like how he didn't respect the rules, doesn't respect my boundaries!

To put everything simple, he wanted me to be his fake GF on smogon, so that whenever we liked each other's posts, he wouldnt be considered a simp.

Also him saying I'm his last option if no one turns up is... something. Least now I know why he doesnt have any close female friends and why he said that.

But then he starts using usernames on PS that are directed at me in a.. interesting way. We didn't talk about anything relating to a relationship ever, besides when he brought up fake GF stuff for smogon, which I didn't want to do, nor did i agree to.

He thought otherwise.

Also telling me not to feel anything about it like I also don't already have a partner???

And this just made me uncomfortable. But he didn't stop there! He also used my name for suspect tests.

From what I could tell, it seems he was trying to hit on me, even when I have a partner, but from what I've heard, he also does this to other people. I would provide screenshots from others as these are my own, but I'm currently awaiting approval from those who sent to see if I can post it here, and I left the server not too long ago.

I'm making this thread just to warn others in general about Zephyr. I don't mean any harm, I just want everyone to be cautious. Anyways, enjoy ISTT III!

To Zephyr, please change. Please learn to respect everyone and their boundaries. Not everyone wants to be your GF and this is one of the possible many reasons why people feel uncomfortable around you. I believe you can change.

And to everyone else in Sootopollis, you'll all get your chance in different team tours. Maybe not ISTT, something bigger even. I have faith in you guys. This isn't on you. And no, I didn't say anything until now.

I wish I didn't wait to speak on this, but the fact he planned to co-manage other tours with me, I can't let this behavior be associated with me. I'm sorry.

Oh and all of this was before I was 18. Almost forgot to add that.
