Official Update: Due to the scale of this decision, we will be consulting a larger group of the panel of guardians for the final determination. Our current position is to give Sercan and Stromae the benefit of the doubt, however we will still be evaluating Legend status based on other actions that occurred during the Triumvirate leadership. This will be determined at a later date.
Edit: For evaluative purposes, Stromae joined ACP in November 2013 and achieved 3rd in Command in February 2014, only 3.5 months, by someone who had never been in ACP before. The alleged bribe occurred in January and Stromae was owner just over a month later.
It was observed today in a conversation on GT chat that Sercan, as Leader of ACP, accepted a 10,000 xat bribe from Stromae to make him an owner in ACP, a rank Stromae received far more quickly than any of the other owners at the time. Sercan had initially reported this to us as a donation of xats which would be used solely for ACP activities, however in the video below, Sercan himself referred to this transfer as a bribe which enabled Stromae to become a 3rd in Command, to which Stromae replied “thanks for reminding people”.
This revelation, in addition to the known scandals that so shamed ACP during Sercan’s leadership here, have forced Shab and I to hereby strip both Sercan and Stromae of their status as ACP Legends, as well as revoking the chat ranks associated with these titles, leaving both as member ranks.
To Sercan, I am tired of forgiving your actions, and although you have always treated me with the utmost respect, I’m afraid those of us who have maintained the integrity of the ACP leadership throughout our careers cannot respect your actions. With that being said, you deliberately lied to me about this situation and continued to do unethical things even after I told you to stop – you promised me this and you betrayed my trust. I’m putting all of this out there so we can finally be rid of the actions of you and your associates.
To both of you and others previously, may this be the last time that the ACP leadership is disgraced by such behavior.
