The northwestern regionals was the most magical event I've ever been to. I'm very, very disappointed to know
that one of the people that made the top 16 was cheating. I do respect your courage to TRY to apologize, but
your timid-ness in doing so is turning me off. I suppose that only time will tell if you are truly sincere in your
regret for what you have done. I wish you luck in achieving the purity and redemption that you are looking for.
And perhaps in a year, everyone will be willing to give you a second chance. Though I wouldn't expect it now.
Good luck in regaining the spirit of the game.

Hey Kayhon, It's Myah using my mom's account. I could tell you all this in person, but I want your so called "pokemon family" to hear this as well.
I just want to say that you're an idiot for waiting 2 months to post your "confession." Last night after learning of what you've done, I almost wished that you weren't wearing that bike helmet in your accident so that you would be dead. At least you're not hiding from those you hurt anymore, and that's why I still respect you as a good friend from school.
Cheating is something I'd never picture you doing. You've done so many wonderful things in the past and I wish and hope that people will look back at those and see what a positive impact you've had on those people. It's a shame that one incident has the power to erase all of that. I just hope you'll look back at helping at tournamentsand remember why you did in the first place and remember the spirit of gaming (or whatever it's called. I don't play this game)
Also, you got to stop hiding your sins from people you consider family. Remember the time when you tried to hide that one secrete from me? :wink: Stop hiding things when they happen and don't wait so that it gets worse it explodes in your face like how your cheating at that one tournament just has.
Myah's mom writes: If you were a real cheater, theif, or whatever it is these people accuse you of, then you'd never have started this thread in the first place. You're a real mature adult for admitting what you've done wrong and taking whatever people say to you.
Noah also wants me to type in something for him, but I'll text it to you instead.
Kayhon, we all love you as a family friend. So take better care of yourself in the future.
-Myah, Mia, and Noah.

This is the main thing I contest with everyone who says it.
He's not mature for lying to a bunch of little kids for two months and then, once he knows that they will all find out about him by the end of the week, decides to "own up" to his mistakes. Not to insult anyone, but from my point of view, that logic is deeply, deeply flawed. It would have been mature of him to own up to it within a short time frame. It would have been mature of him to do a better job of cleaning up after everyone at the Battle Roads. It would have been mature of him to not steal from the very people who tried to help him.
I understand where you all are coming from, though. From the perspective of a positive thinker who doesn't know first-hand every little detail about this fiasco, he did a good job of making a man out of himself. But please, please take the word of someone who DOES know almost every little detail, and will be a heck of a lot more honest with you about Keyhan than Keyhan ever will: he didn't. He didn't post this because he wanted to, he posted this because he knew he had to.

Phazon, I'm not sure if you're one of Kayhon's friends from WSHS, but if I had to guess the two of you had just basically crashed and burn. So say you know every detail but that doens't give you the right to say such horrible things toward a former friend of yours, even if you're carrying bitterness in your heart. Are you even thinking of what he's going through, or what he's been through?
I know Kayhon tend to hide things just like my duaghter pointed in out in our previous post, but he always means well. The way you're trying to make Kayhon look even more like a liar than he truely is sickens me. And yes, Kayhon's first post also sickens me as well! I trusted him to teach my son to play pokemon when he was six and to know that he recently cheated makes me wonder what he's taught my son.
This right here gives me hope that Kayhon will still be a positive influence on the pokemon world again, within due time.

I absolutely and completely agree with Marvin. I already know half the guys in Oregon are doing their "say it ain't so, Joe" monologues, but this is only encouraging Kayhon's despicable behavior. The fact that you're all so ready to forgive and forget would make you look like fresh meat in the eyes of anyone looking to take advantage of you, and it's the exact reason why Marvin has been acting the way he did.
I don't care what Kayhon's been through or what rationalizations he's making in order to somehow make himself less accountable for his actions, because that's exactly what's happening right now. It gave him no reason to act the way he did, instead it only gave him an excuse to do so. The fact that he waited two months to suddenly decide to own up to his actions say this. He isn't apologizing because he wants to, he's apologizing because he's been lying to everyone ever since battle roads, and if he didn't say anything he would lose any face he has left.

Woah, that is pretty serious. I just wanted to point that out. Wishing a person should die is pretty bad.
um, how is expressing one's disappointment and anger at his actions...cheating, and stealing...equal to 'wanting him dead'? care to find quotes to back up your statement please?

Well said. CyberManectric ex, I aplaud you for admiting you cheated. I hope you learned from that, and realized you messed things up for a bunch of people.

I'm assuming WSHS is a High School of some sort.
No, I don't know him from WSHS. I only know him from Pokemon, so considering the Pokemon-related actions he's taken as of late, it's only natural that I question his morals.
Thanks, Matt, and that's exactly my point.
Understandable. The whole thing is moving in a big circle, and nobody is going to add anything that somebody else hasn't already said, anyway.

In that case, I just want to say thanks for the support, especially Maddox29, JuarezSuperStar, afstandopleren, and Muscovy Lv.X, and again, I want to say sorry to those I hurt, BDS, Mr. Raichu, Momma_June, PokeMATHer, Articjedi, and Phazon, plus all other pokegym members who didn't like reading what I had to write.

Well, at least you can see a good thing from cheating - don't do it again.
You get a ban and now you know what it's like. You'll think twice before cheating again. So, it's a good thing that getting a ban can rub off that itch to cheat again because you know how bad it will be to cheat.
A reason for people to trust you? That you were honest, and you confessed stealing those packs and cheating.

Seriously, you took the time to post this, but didn't bother to read his confession?
He IS a real cheater. He IS a real thief. He confessed being both. In creating this thread with his first post, he confirms EXACTLY what you imagine he has not. Your sentiment, while sweetly supportive, is misplaced and completely without foundation.
Perhaps you should read the entire post; or limit your support for past good deeds to those deeds while not trying to excuse the inexcusable.
I am pleased that this young man has such blindly loyal and supportive people around him. Perhaps with your help and continued support he can come to see that his actions were wrong and stop rationalizing his bad behavior. Perhaps he can come to a place where he has no excuses, only contrition.
If it weren't so dangerous now, I would recommend a stint in the military for this young man. He would return from a hitch in the US Army a man with a core that is worthy of respect.
some people cheat because they believe they are the MOST skilled person in the world at Pokemon and would win every game if it wasn't for luck their cheating evens out the luck, in that view
Yah, with emotion running high, it was good to remind everyone to cool their jets. G/J
Please don't do that. Part of the reason we say, 'use only one account' is trust. A screen name/account should represent one person and other members should be able to rely on that. Announcing you are using another's account is not the way to handle it. Sign your mom out and you sign back in, please.
Yah, messing around when you get another chance is wrong, Jake? I agree. The rest of your comment is a little too personal, so watch your posts, please.

No, my comment wasn't personal. All I gave was a direct example where a child who did something wrong wasn't given a chance to "work off the term", but a person who was an adult and also a professor (and therefore also betrayed his duties as a professor) WAS given a chance and then continues with ABSURD behavior. Also, don't single me out here, several comments were direct to the topic starter and they remain. Whatever...

I DID read his first post and I must say that I wasn't happy with his choices and actions. I'm aware of the fact that he hurt a ton of people, including my son who thinks of him as a hero.
I chose to support him becuase I am a woman of faith, and I beleive that if he had enough positive support he'd focus on what he needs to do to set things right. I don't believe I'm misplacing my support at all.
On the other hand, I've never been to any of these pokemon events. I've just been reading the boards on pokegym for a few weeks as a guest. Only my daughter has gone to league a couple times. We don't know exactly how much damage Kayhon has done, but it's obvious he's done more than enough. We're loyal toward him becuase we know him as one of the family.

This is just one of those things we must respectfully disagree on.
I mean, had he not tried to steal from BDS, I'd still be cool with him. Everybody makes a mistake, after all. But the fact that he did both . . . well, there's no way someone like me can trust him ever again.
