Plague, I just joined this league and some of the positive comments I made. You made the exact point I was trying to make. I was not doing a good job at it. If he is cheating that is different, but from what I have seen he has done an excellent job. I do not here comments from the older owners making me think they do not believe he is cheating. I just hate to see someone get prosecuted because they were doing everything possible to put the best franchise together that they could.

I can also tell you, that the comments I made that snake p made were my own. I am not an alias of bornloser. So I am not sure what is worse. A cheating owner or an owner that is making accusations with nothing to back it up.

The cheating is worse as Ithink about it but.... a close second is bad accusations at least to me.

Pay no attention to snake_p. He's a forum troll who adds no value to any thread he posts to. He's also admitted that he's an alias.

It's either cheating or trade rape of noobs under the "watchful" eye of the other owners that got him to this position. Either way, he has a true dynasty in an unbalanced, crappy world.

What's amazing is that he's only won three WS.

His MLB pitching staff is ridiculously good -- lots of 90+ control and splits, with excellent pitch quality.

Short series. I pointed out Happy Jack to one of the complaining owners. Similar situation. Guy won the first 3 WS with declining payrolls. His early year's "team-building" practice has stopped but there's nothing we can do to keep him from reaping the benefits of those first three seasons. But several of us can beat him in a short series now. He still wins his 110-120 and he still won the WS in S10 and S12 but there's hope come playoff time.

he never ever posts in world chat either it seems.

lol @ that team.

His AAA squad could make a playoff run.

Yeah, his AAA pitchers look to be better than most MLB squads.

Pay no attention to tecwrg. He's admitted he's irritated that I'm so much smarter than he is, and he has admitted to three user names.

No offense, but that's some of the dumbest stuff I've read in awhile. So, let me get this straight. A bunch of owners who obviously don't give a shi* let one owner Newbie rape his way over adn over again to the point where he has probably the most ridiculous franchise in HBD and is continually running other owners off bcuz of this... but bcuz those none giving a shi* owners don't veto or speak out that makes the whole thing ok??

Yup, that's really ignorant. No offense bro, but seriously ignorant.

I agree with plague. The point of this game is to put together the most talented team possible. Its not this owners fault if the other 30 owners dont give a ****.

Well, no offense to you either, but you obvioulsy haven't been around HBD long enough to have seen how all of this plays out. So, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

That situation is very bad and will potentially destroy that world. That owner set out to repeatedly take advantage of the newbie owners, and that's assuming he wasn't/isn't running those other franchises. What he did/is doing will keep good owners from joining and staying in that world and it will continually get harder and harder to fill at each rollover.

So, you are telling me that you do not try to get the better end of every trade. I understand that there are trades where both sides get equal value, but you cannot sit there and tell me that every player that plays the game is not trying to get the better deal in a trade. I might have very little experience in HBD, but I have many years of competitive experience in the game of baseball.
