Okay guys, you have chill on this subject. Discussing cheating in the forums is against the rules. If you suspect someone of cheating you may file a cheat report or contact a GM directly, but accusations and/or discussions in the forums is prohibited.

I clearly stated he was obviously a staunch advocate for the rules. His claim that there is nothing wrong with tanking clearly shows his understanding of the rule book. I commend him for that.


I am clearly saying this conversation is over.

Hypothetically, if I were to list some of my scrubs for a crap ton of cash, am I going to get bids instantly or do I have to wait until the end of the bidding period?

I also can't find the "force bids" button anywhere. Yes I tried opening my menu to the long form. Do I have to hit that feature prior to listing or post?

I do have a bit of a sentimental attachment to my guys. Can I choose which country they go to? I would really prefer to not send any of them to a micro-nation.

So your friends in the NBBA create an entire forum ragging on this kid, you post not once, not twice, not three times, not four times but five times joking around with them about it. But this you have an issue with? And anyone is supposed to take you seriously with this double standard?

We have enough trouble trying to get more posts in our forum, but now we have someone taking those away... We can't take that type of competition!

I wasn't whining about tanking, and I understand the logic and strategy behind it. I also understand how to manage a team, especially over multiple seasons, if I didn't I wouldn't have made it to D.II, I don't need the lesson. I was just trying to encourage more teams to not give up so easily season after season, and hopefully inspire some managers to be more competitive.

Nice starting price on your young guy on the market. I'd say make Shameless buy him, but only being in D5 he probably doesn't have much cash. So I say Fern would be a logical choice. He is tanking and probably has decent cash. You might even be able to make him give you Carlos Kenny as well. We all know how much damage that guy can do when you relegate to D3.

I really think his point was, this league has been a grind. The competition is fun but at the same time when you are using all of your resources just to stay up or just to make the playoffs, you really aren't improving long term. You're really only getting older. My first two seasons up here, was an absolute struggle and I didn't make a whole lot of headway. I can do more for the long term health of my franchise by taking three seasons to work on my infrastructure. I don't view it as tanking at all. I am building my arena, developing some prospects, developing a more American roster, and putting some cash in the bank. I will be a much stronger team in three seasons than I was last season, and I had a good D2 team.

All of that being said, you new guys have a real advantage. You don't need your payroll to swell up to over 400k just to stay in the league. You will be much better off than I was after a couple seasons here. Take advantage of it. Remember it is cyclical, this league will get tough again. So don't think your team is all that good or that D2 is all that easy, you just hit the perfect storm.

It was very inspiring.
Unfortunately my spirits were crushed again when I realized I don't have the 11 mil to buy that guy from Yuck.

I can totally see why you would think that, however, the difference is that in that other thread nobody actually accused him of cheating.... of course the line was walked very closely but nobody actually did.... in this forum several guys have come right out & accused him of cheating and he defended himself against cheating. those are against the rules.

personally I like to be more conservative when it comes to telling people what they can and can't say.... so I didn't feel the need to stop the other forum.... however, if allowing that leads to this then maybe that's why some GM's run a much tighter ship then I do.
