People that complain=Teams they want to target and make even more miserable

Just sayin!

Yea people that get crapped on need to shut up.  I'm tired of people complaining when they get screwed.  I think the Golden Rule is crap.  It seems to be much more advantagous to screw people over.  And if they complain just bully them some more.  Everybody jump on them and kick them some more.That is the way the world should be run.

He is not being a jerk.  But no one wants to hear about someone coming along and "stealing a recruit".  Until they are signed, they are fair game.  Anyone who does not understand that is just crying.

Now....having said that.....I'll refer to the "griefing post" from Norbert.  No one should do stuff just to be a jerk.
I don't say he's griefing but season after season?  I guess it could be coincidence as our schools are reletively close.  But why always in the next to last cycle?  This was an STL that he says he had his eye on from the beginning.  I had a CV and AC scout on him for a long time.  Yet he turns him yellow the cycle before signing?  BS.  This isn't a one time deal with him.  But  as Slid said.  Get even.  I won't be griefing per say as I intend to adopt a new recruiting strategy.  I don't have my brothers conscience.  There are going to be some surprised coaches next season and too bad for them.  All the DLs from one team, All the QBs from another.  Just rumminating.  Time I did what others are saying.  Maybe if I screw over a few of those guys it will put my team over the top. 
You had an STL in you hand and you thought you could hold him with just a CV and a AC scout? WTF are you thinking? That's like locking your jewelry store with a piece of gum and then complaining you got robbed. If you had 4 CVs on him, guess what, he wouldn't have been able to turn him yellow and you wouldn't have this problem.

peanutjets, that's exactly what I was thinking. If you want to hold on to a recruit, then you should have than an AC and a CV on him!
And grindi, right now it IS more advantageous to screw people over. If WIS would let me keep 40% of what I have left, then I wouldn't be a raider, but at 25%, if I have a bunch of money left, I'm upgrading, so some people get "their" recruits taken.

+a brazzillion!

Also...he is LYING when he says he only had an AC and a CV into him. I pumped 6 CV's into him...SIX...all accepted...AND HE WAS STILL RED!!!

I will GLADLY provide a screen shot of his recruiting actions once he signs to prove it...you wanna provide a screen shot showing only 1 CV and 1 AC???

Really what Grindi is mad about here is that he made his recruit POACHER free...AND I STILL SNIPED HIM!!!!

You guys really waste alot of money. At DII and DII you dont have much anyway. So you come out the gate and green up some guys just to look for someone else. Hell if you dont want them dont waste your money, Then when recruiting gets into the thick of things you feel a scout and visit will keep them. That my friends is the problem. I dont even get going good til day 2 cause its then when you know who's on who and if you can beat them. Dont start looking for upgrades before you have primarys.

its not poaching, its recruiting.

But what would you do with the extra money if not use it to screw people over.

You want extra money so you can sign the recruits you want at some time, right?

If you sign a recruit and I wanted him, well then you screwed me over.

At some point, you will use the money to take a recruit.

The problem is not carryover.  The problem is that some people think they are entitled to something for nothing.  Their mommy told them that they are special.  They want their mommy to come and make damauler12 stop talking to their recruits.  Help me mommy.

Here is the promised screen shot...



Weird...The guy made my WATCH LIST before recruiting even started...Crazy.

Weird...On the 26th I sent an AC scout...Was he already green to you before 1st cycle started? Otherwise...I mean...I must have read your list...right?

Weird...I sent a CV on the 26th as well...seems to add up to the story I was selling...

Weird...6 CV's were sent on the 27th...how was that 1 cycle before signing.

Weird...After I sent those 6 CV's...I came back with 10 more. Why would I have to do that if you had only 1 CV and AC? Wouldn't the 1st 6 do the trick?

Crazy...I can substantiate everything I have claimed....can u?

I think it is funny there are like 3 different threads of stealing, poaching, and/or sniping recruits I haven't seen an outburst like this in a long time.
4/29/2012 8:25 PM
I believe the count is actually 4.... here is a link to my personal favorite, one that happened days after I started playing (thus my dumb responses, trying to get people to notice me LOL

Anyways, I think that one trumps this one. It's the one where potter accuses nelsonba25 of being mcbethbr
