I am planning to stay with Demon for S10 as well.

Isn't it a bit strange that the one who made it public was Glen? Instead of admitting that the accusation is correct (internally!) and posting a "I can't play any longer. Goodbye" with JasonS26 he went vocal. This is something to consider when dealing with that issue.

This statement
taken by itself is plain wrong. Innocent until proven guilty. However as I'll explain further there IS some
indications (=|= evidence / proof! I know what these indications are, I've read them myself) that one can assume JasonS26 = shep34 . So the statement does make sence. I am opposing the idea of having to proof one's identity though. Because who the hell is Matteo Scala? Or is it Paolo Tafuro? We can't know for sure if there isn't another person that has two accounts (for whatever reason). Proxy servers make it very easy to feign identities online. We can't make anyone give out his ID. Also I'm thinking about a name change right now (for the game-character of course). I will never ever give out my identity card anywhere in the internet.
The point made by GPGSL (until Jake's last post) is mainly the shared IP-adress (although they had other indications). That one was made clear by Glen and Jason when the latter joined GPGSL, something I remember quite clear (won't search for a quote right now). So it may not be held against Glen and Jason right now because it was accepted by not saying anything. Getting nearer to Jake's last post.

If I this remember correctly, this happened when Jo-Anne failed an activity check, but later posted why she had failed to post (crashed computer). No penalty was handed out, completely correct according to the rules as I had explained in detail (not necessary anymore at that point but still). If it's a different subject then Jason has a point though. Not too sure on that.

First point: May be a local dialect, I don't know. Many coincidences.
Second point: Have that PM in my inbox. I'm not too sure on the circumstances of Matt's join but something (which I'll not share until I have sorted everything out with Glen) is there.
Important paragraph: My point is: Jake has to be the one that has shared information with the GPGSL-board, as Glen had sent a PM which includes something problematic only to me and Jake. I didn't give that information away. Now think about the situation at Demon. Given Jake's departure to the end of the season he was demoted to Test Driver. Perfectly fine from Glen to do it, he's the boss after all. Jake has all reason to be unhappy.
BUT for me this smells like foul. Maybe from Glen, but surely from Jake. That situation is enough to
claim that Jake who is sitting in GPGSL-directors-board is not neutral in this subject. Because of this I formally protest against this decision and insist that the decision is taken back until after the season. It can be discussed when the season is over and it has to be but right now I can only see a revanche-foul by Jake responsible for this mess. The correct law-term in Germany would be "suspicion of bias", or bias petition. I claim Jake is biased. You'll have to seriously rethink on whether you can fully trust Jake's statements.
It's not that I am outright distrusting Jake but I trust everyone to the same degree. I've already asked Glen some questions that I'm very interested in hearing an answer. Still the situation for me is like I described above.
If you ignore what I've written right now then it's that you essentially say "Yes, you made some valid and true points". If you disagree, voice it loudly!
