Fascinating. Guess I’m the only one of you who knows how HD works. Admin warned him and undid his recruiting. Until we meet again, friends...

Teach me your wizardry.

Omg, omg, omg. Ab, you’ve just made my day. Wow. This is incredible! I can’t believe you’ve outdone yourself. It’s pretty impressive.

Look at this message I just got from admin:

Jake,

We've been alerted to you intentionally sabotaging your team in Tarkanian by signing unqualified recruits. Please be aware that this type of behavior is against the rules and is taken very seriously. Any future problems, particularly with this type of behavior, will result in banishment from the site.

Thank you.

Not even kidding, I didn’t plan on sabotaging this with AB in mind at all (although this ended up working out best case scenario). I planned on moving to D2 or another D3 when recruiting happened, and I always scout D2 in my area (of my old team), bump some sims down on studs or battle some D2s to keep them below signing range, then fill my scholarships up so they don’t sign with me. Then scout them to L1 and sign them on my new team. It’s a strategy I’ve used throughout my career with changing teams. I just decided recently I wasn’t going to hop to another team. But regardless, this is amazing. Thank you for making my day.

On an aside, AB, my challenge of who can win a ship first in the same conference is still on.

This looks like a fair play violation to me.

ab, I apologize.

I'm not sure how this is any different than what you do AB90... I see you've deflected at every possible turn to get someone with the answer you want.

You join competitive teams, run them dry and leave them with no recruiting, schedules...etc... What is the difference?

Play how you want, but attempting to disgrace this move with the nose turned up towards Ethics and User Agreement bull**** is insulting to the intelligence of these users... You bend the rules and have zero ethics or morals as you sift around and feed off others' success... We leave you be, and you should leave this coach be as well.

Truly no idea who you are, and you couldn’t possibly jog my memory. There are tons of dynasties I’ve left behind for others. There are a handful of teams where I didn’t log in for a couple of months. A couple of those won titles 100% on ghost mode. Have a good day, all of you chivalrous and well-mannered pillars of society.

You can’t have an unqualified recruit to a D3 school. That is just asinine. Seble, you should reconsider the decision to reprimand and intervene on the recruits signed to that team.

Ab, I’m not trying to be a jerk, like this is a genuine question. Why do you still play HD? Like you have stated multiple times that you do not enjoy the game anymore, and best case scenario you make, what, 3 25 amazon gift cards a year? How many ships do you make a year? 5? So 75 bucks a year for let’s just say 1 hour per day on here which is 365 hours per year. You’re saying you play this purely for the amazon gift cards, like, genuinely, why do you still play?

Yeah, he's basically bragging he's been gaming the system throughout his HD career.

Hopefully seble treats this as new information and responds appropriately.

There’s no rule this violates in the fair play guidelines. Same as roster dumping, actually. Neither is stated. Roster dumping is just stated for HBD.

How is this gaming the system? Are you sure you’re reading what I’m saying correctly.

Also, favre is saying here that no recruit can be bad enough to be unqualified for D3, which I take as defending me and saying the recruits shouldn’t be unsigned, no?

Define "unqualified recruits". What does that even mean?? They're from the same recruit pool as sim teams sign players from. By saying they're unqualified then Seble is basically saying that D3 is broken.

This breaks the cheating/loophole and the impeding rules.

I’ve known Jake for a long time, most of his HD career. He is a shrewd and wildly successful team manager. He plays with deference to the chief ideals of this game: dynasty building. Look at his resume, he has stayed long and worked hard on most of his programs. And like any teenager, we were all in his shoes once even if we might have to strain to remember the days, or even what day it is now, he can be distracted, under informed when making statements or judgments, but he is good intentioned. He is one of the most valuable members of this community because he generously shares his understanding of the game with others who want to be better. He is also naturally curious about the human side of the game, which is indicated most directly on this discussion through his pointed question of ab90, "Why do you play HD?" The answer might be interesting or it could just be boring. Will we find out?

What is any different with ab having 3 walkons in Tark and once he abandons the team it becomes a complete rebuild.

So if you don’t recruit and leave a team for dead it’s not just as bad?

This isn’t a loophole at all. This is the same as a coach recruiting for a D2 one season, liking the players he is on, and taking the dude when he moves to another D2 lol. If this is a loophole, then so is recruiting players in RS1 at L3.
