"i dont need to 'cheat' to get mine, though ive engaged in that exact practice [cheating] in the past."

That is the exact quote... if that isn't a blatant confession, I don't know what your idea of a confession is.

C'mon, somebody else send a ticket.  If we get colonels banned we'll have the fun of figuring out what his new alias is!

As Dacj said, he's admitted this several times in the past.  Last thing we need is a bunch of forum police.  And as Trevor stated, just because he said it doesn't mean he's actually done it, good luck proving it.  He can "confess" to anything that he wants, but that doesn't mean he's not just yanking everyone's chain.

Not to name call, but he seems like a jerk.  As I said earlier, if you have a D1 team and a D3 team it gives you a ridiculous recruiting advantage at the D3 level.  It isn't a 2-3k difference, but something like a 10k-20k difference.  You are able to scout 10-20 states rather than 2-5.  There should be a way to only have D1 teams see the scouting reports for D1 and the top half of D2 players or something like that. 

People who have to cheat to win at an internet game are really, really, pathetic.

Or you could just make FSS free to everyone and completely eliminate that kind of "cheating"...a lot of u guys would rather just cry about the way things are as opposed to pushing for/implementing a solution. Either way, its not a big deal

I am now truly sorry for bringing this up, lol.

As I mentioned before, I was searching for opinions and I certainly have gotten that-and more.  If I thought submitting a ticket would get the ball rolling for the implementation of a solution, I would certainly do that. As we all should do that oppose that practice...but as it's been stated in this thread (and others) WIS doesn't care to address it because those that have mutiple ID's are bringing in the $. And that's why this engine is running.
A few more thoughts-
* hughesjr said, "People who have to cheat to win at an internet game are really, really, pathetic." I think there are a ton of people who feel that way. Again, whether it's "cheating' is one's own opinion.
*As far as other getting upset over crass behavior. I don't think it's a matter of think skin-I think it's a matter of integrity, respect and gamesmanship. I read on the Forums that there's a 15 year-old playing and I'm sure he hears worse in real life-but why subject him (and others) to it on a simulation site? I'm not perfect, and I'll drop an f-bomb and others within earshot of family, friends and co-workers from time-to-time.  But I wouldn't want my kid reading some of the stuff on here, though.

there is a solution that you don't seem to comprehend colonels, and that is, don't cheat.   you're trying to justify the fact that you need to cheat at a computer simulation by saying there is a way to stop you from doing it.  i would think the vast majority of users don't cheat.  you choose to.  that says all there is to know about you

So are you saying its fine to break the law as long as you don't like it?

Making FSS free reduces the amount of strategy involved in recruiting significantly...  As unpopular as potential was when it first came out (and in some cases still is), I think at the end of the day most of the long-term coaches like the extra wrinkle in recruiting strategy that FSS generates.  It really forces you to prioritize and gives coaches who want to put in more time the opportunity to gain some slight advantage by researching before purchasing FSS without making the advantage of that extra time insurmountable for coaches who don't have the time...

I don't cheat, I only have teams under this name...you can check my other aliai if you don't believe me.

Arss, as always apples and oranges...it's kind of like Al Bundy says, "It's only cheating, if you get caught".

Possessing pot is breaking the law and I have a fair amount of friends that partake, I'm not one of them, but by the same token I'm not whistle-blowing/trying to get them arrested...I don't really care...that's their life and that's what they choose.

It's impossible to police/enforce the "don't buy FSS for your other team" rule...so much gray area...thus like I said, you really want the problem solved, make FSS free to everyone.  Dropping $13 to "cheat" with FSS is basically allowed...you want it to stop...push for my solution.

K, so unfortunately you can't have your cake and eat it too....life isn't perfect, dude.  If you like the way things are, then you'll have to deal with "cheating" as well...if you're going to go after me with no proof, you'd better start investigating because I'm sure there are a slew of others out there that you could make the case are "cheating"...again, I don't care...just pointing out that you having/wanting to have a witch hunt for me doesn't solve the problem, just shows your glaring anti-colonels bias...

Conversely, if everyone has the same information and know who the good players are, there could/would be more competition/recruiting battles...are you afraid of this or something?...

To you all...

Quite frankly, if you think "cheating" is rampant/ruining the game and you feel like you inherently can't beat a "cheater", then why are you still here playing?

why do people use two account for?

It's almost like doubling your recruiting budget. They can scout certain states with one account, and then deifferent ones with the other. So they get double info for less money.

thats the reason CHEATERS use 2 accounts. lots of us have had 2 accounts so we could play 2 teams legitimately within a world. a lot, if not most of the first coaches that would come to mind for the forum readers have multiple teams in a world, or have had in the past. for me, it was because i didnt want to stop coaching my first d3 team, and i wanted to move to d2. and then, i didnt want to stop coaching either, but i wanted to move to d1 - so i moved up in d2, moved to d2 with d3, and picked up my d3 school with a fresh account.

My aliai....statsink, kgb_sickle, juran_ovito...you realize you don't have proof, right?..and that I never technically said I did it

you've opening stated, technically and otherwise, that you cheat. people know it, but you are a complete joke, so i dont think anybody really cares. if cheating got your teams to be, you know, a LITTLE bit good, then maybe. but if you cheat your way to being terrible, well, keep on truckin fella
