Oh Finland, why so serious.

I'm in need of a bit of ethical help: as several users definitely know, like five years ago I've beek asking for quite a lot of help in making an Olympic medal table. Lists of who has which chances in which events, and so on, since we've got quite a lot of specialists on here.

 

That help, like five years ago, is immensely appreciated. It might however give me an unfair advantage in the prediction contests, something I'm not a fan of (the advantage, that is) and in no way do I want anyone to think I'm trying to cheat the contests.

 

On the other hand, Wumo is putting in a ton of also much appreciated work for all those contests, and it feels a bit unfair to him if I were to ignore the contests. I don't want to be unfair to him, and I don't want to be unfair to the other participants in the contests.

 

Any suggestions as to what to do? For now I'm mostly leaning towards not participating in the contests (at least not those in which sports I received help for are involved, something like athletics I do by myself and so that's perfectly fine).

Enter the contest & share your methods.

I think you understood it wrong (or I wrote it wrong), a lot of the knowledge is not mine (but coming from people I've been asking for help while making my Olympic medal table), hence my question  

 

I mean, I know nothing about (for example) wrestling or slalom canoeing, but I get very excellent help in those. That knowledge is not mine and is also not at all meant for any contest, so it'd be a bit unfair to pretend it is.

 

That's all I meant with it, nothing smug at all (if anything, all the previous contests have shown I'm not exactly the favourite to win any of these contests anyway ).

 

If it came across wrong, sorry and never mind then, I didn't mean anything wrong or smug or something with it.

Don't worry, nothing of that will give you an advantage over people here. There's just too much information circulating in this forum already. We have an specialist in almost every sport, we made dozens of prediction threads, dozens of tables and polls...
