Just so you guys know, I received a response from WIS saying that they are looking at it and "trying to figure out what happened."

This has happened to me at least twice with no warning message - I dunno if it's a bug or deliberate, but it definitely doesn't happen.

When you start a thread, on everybodys posts there is a"report" button.

If you click it, that perons post gets redlined.. Like what happened to OR at the begining of the thread.

So what they mean by that is, you clicked report... On the most legendary HD coach EVER.

Clone77 will come after you in your sleep for that.

Sim ai 15k in your example would not start building up until day 2, so he would be able to do 5k, 3k, 5k and by then break even by day 2.

Quote and report are right next to each other.

Its just a real macro example. on a micro level - simai gets a bit more for their money than humans based on the fact they pay less for visits etc. Also I am sure both squads did not spend exactly 15k. Lastly prestige probably plays a role.

I'm just saying this is my thoughts as to why this occured. Its definitely not the first time its happened in HD and I think it is something seble should certainly look into. There should be an inbox memo stating the recruit is now not considering blazor as his top choice before he signs. jmo.

This was part of rail's problem with recruiting in this game, somewhat a crusade, until he said the heck with things and packed it in

so this applies for international recruits as well? 200 or 220 miles for them vs. 3000+ miles for the rest of us for Europeans?

I thought they recruited at 70 miles away for all, not 220. I could be wrong.

I don't believe it's 70 miles, I think it's around 300. We have advantage on a local recruit, but they kill us on the Internationals.

I tihnk its 250

yea - this international thing is especailly important to know, taking international recruits from sims is very difficult

blazor - I think the guy who said quote and report are next to each other was right, not sure if you can, click on the red thread - you might be able to undo the red line if you want???

This post could not be converted. To view the original post's thread, click here.

this example is fishy.

as to the first time it happened. it could have been that you were on a recruit that another coaches offered a RS to. The recruit rejected and stopped considering said coach (and started considering you). That coach then removed the inform of RS and got the recruit back.

It's a SIM coached team. So you explanation would not apply I'm afraid.
