I’d say you could interview me, however most people who know me from the early days aren’t playing, so most of what I achieved through accomplishments or infamy are probably forgotten.
tdiddy, if I remember correctly, you were the first person to figure out which recruiting efforts could not be declined by 5 star recruits and innovated the technique to spam those methods until you were able to get them to accept the scholarship and then from there they would accept all recruiting efforts including campus visits.
Not sure if you were the creator of the method, but I seemed to remember you were the one that made it public.
Is that correct?
The guys I was getting weren’t 5* players, but they were fringe D1/D2 players that I was able to get at D3 schools. I discovered that if you wait until the end of recruiting, players would soften their demands and with the right formula, they could be persuaded to accept scholarships. It was because of me during 1.0 that WIS put hard caps on what divisions a player would sign with, and created the team prestige and allowing top teams to be eligible to recruit players lower prestige teams couldn’t.
Then there was Dowdygate where another player found a list of usernames and passwords on another site where I used my same password as here, and hacked into one of my accounts and offered a bribe to a recruit I already had locked up to get me on probation... opening up a huge investigation by WIS. The two guys involved finally admitted to it, and although I don’t remember exactly what WIS did, they were punished.
I think I might have been the first human to win a D1 title as well, but I’d have to look that one up to see if that is correct or not.
Those are my most notable moments in this game.
