So net, a loophole has apparently been closed and the game has moved to a better place? Sounds like a win for the community.

Bbunch, when I'm done with my run at Mizzou, I'm forwarding you my remaining credits for taking the slings and arrows. Let me know anytime you want a preseason game.

Maybe Dave was the 5 pack guy?

old dave or old resorter they both abuse 5 pack codes.

We made it 149 posts before it went off the rails guys.

That's gotta be close to a record.

The reason I brought up ab is because he grabs every A+ championship-caliber team open I’ve ever seen personally (unless he’s grabbed a team before, so can’t move, or there are 2). Ive never seen anyone beat him for one of those teams.

Confirmed.

I told y'all this was gonna be a fun thread

"this is not a gambling game, this is a for-fun game, and enjoyment needs to retain first position over all other considerations. its not just for fun, first and foremost - that's the entire point - nobody plays this for the money."

I partially disagree. 1st of all, Ab has openly stated he plays this game for money. You can win real money via amazon gift cards and the really successful coaches have gotten a few bucks that way.

But those folks are the minority. While this is a just for fun game, it is an expensive means of having fun for a lot of people. Some of us who have been playing for free for years tend to forget that. I'm sure many people on here can share that they've spent hundreds of dollars over the years on this game.

I think bbunch has handled this well. I also think most people commenting on this thread have handled it well too. Are some people giving him a hard time? Sure. Is everyone calling for his head and unequivocally calling him a cheater until the end of time? Definitely not. I think overall most people have been pretty fair and understanding - especially considering how these forums usually operate. Thewiz got it WAAAAY worse when the WE bug was exposed (although he handled it WAY worse as well).

I'll admit, the fact that bbunch did it again a week later was quite hilarious.

This wizard character seems highly intelligent. I hope to meet this gentleman someday and he can share all his wisdom.

Gee? Wonder who this new guy might be?

loophole fixed just when I found out about it!

thinking back on some puzzling recruiting losses where I could not imagine a way the opponent had resources left, given battles I saw he had fought.....and I was starting to think about how to watch for this

well done Admin

Might have only been a one off correction because bbunch asked for it.

Admin hasn't announced anything here about a long term fix, he really should.

Admin said they would not post anything to the forum, but suggested we as users help make people aware.

• Closed loophole where a coach could not renew team, then get full recruiting resources by applying to the same job.

Excellent, thanks!

alright, now nobody speak of this again so those folks who were abusing it can spend a few months scratching their heads :) i like to pretend those people exist, whether they do or not (i sort of doubt they do, beyond a couple insignificant ones). i also hope those folks who have the warm and fuzzy that cheating has been put to bed, recognize that 1) we were already a community with fairly little cheating, and 2) we took maybe 5% off the top with this one. so... not much has changed.

will we see a post by someone

So, I dropped my team so I could double up the recruiting dollars, but now I lost my team to a coach with a clearly inferior record.....just look at how many times I have been to the NT in a row....the jobs process is broken and I really should get my team back.

For comparison purposes...

Well I’m glad I got to play the cheater bbunch hopefully he wins it all and quits !!!! After this BS ... He needs to be band kick out , suspension... something !!! He is destroying the fun in the game it self !!

Hey dirtybird...... good game, man. I'm not going anywhere. Nor do I cheat. Hope to see your squad again with similar results every time.

Thanks ab - knew I had to slow it down a bit. You had more depth than us.
