tell support about same guy with multiple teams or with teams within close range

no reason for this in a game with 10 worlds

is it still allowed to have 2 teams within 1000 miles? i can't remember if they changed it. i can definitely see someone wanting more than 3 2/day teams, if not. i still think its a pretty normal thing for someone to want to move up and to keep a team, and therefore to end with 2 in a world, especially if its still allowed.

i never really thought about this in 3.0 - in 1.0, there was basically 0 reason you couldn't have 2 teams in the same city, as long as you didnt collude recruiting battles wise. tons of people had multiple teams and it was explicitly ok'd by admin. then 2.0 came out and FSS existed and it became a big deal and the 1000 miles rule went into effect. in 3.0 - can't you like, not even see a player unless you scout them? i guess im struggling to see how to cheat with scouting money like one could back in 2.0. i suppose you could scout a state on the **** team, then decide whether to scout it on the good team? now that scouting and recruiting bucks are split, i feel like that is barely even an advantage. anyone have something better?

after dealing with the multiple team thing for years, i personally won't touch it with a 10 foot pole - but i am curious why it matters now? seems like i must be missing something if folks still care.

D1 budgets are massive compared to D3 budgets. The potential advantage gained from 2 teams in a world now (especially when one of those is a D1 team) is exponentially greater today than it was under prior versions.

If i wanted to cheat, i could get a D1 team in New York, and a D3 team in New York. My D1 team could line up a dozen players, sign the ones i want, and then i could take my D3 team and target the leftovers and my D1 name being there is like a reservation. Then when i unlock the target with the D3 team, pull the scholarship offer from my D1 team simultaneously. Boom.... stud player lands on D3 roster because i cheated.

Just one example

D1 internationals. If a D2 or D3 is consistently getting *good* D1 pool internationals, keep an eye on them. They’ve probably got a second team, and using it to pinpoint good players in that pool.

I 100% see how you could cheat doing that. As of now, the only kid I really recruited was a d2 kid from Puerto Rico because I liked his name. He isn’t fully scouted. His name is Carmelo Ortiz. Full transparency, 1 weekend I decided I was going to smoke some weed for nostalgia’s sake, and it seemed like it would be fun to have a username with a D3 team in every world, and a D2 team in every world with a different username. Also, as only a manic stoned fellow would do, I ordered 3 strange domain names from godaddy because they seemed like brilliant ideas, a $2500 gaming computer on a whim from something called “Micro Center,” 62 different Steam games, a large pan pizza with a large cookie from Pizza Hut, misplaced my car keys, and Facebook messaged several girls I hadn’t seen in a decade. My girlfriend was not impressed. Soon after, I decided that plan was silly, and I thought it would be fun to take an abysmal Bowling Green team and make it good like Urban Meyer (which I have, alas, failed to do), and I also signed up for a handful of HBD teams and bought a GD 10 pack. I rememembered that I hated GD; I remembered that 7 or 8 HD teams was way the hell too many, as it were; and I remembered why I hadn’t smoked pot in years.

But, on the plus side, that gaming computer has only cost me $312.50 per hour of use over the month that I’ve had it.
