This is hilarious to me! Hold on.. Hold on.. my stomach is hurting from laughing so much. I don’t know you, but in the short time that I’ve been playing HD, I see you jump around to ready made teams. Teams with rosters that are ready to win now. “The coach” that you are referring to is a very good coach. There is no doubt in my mind that he recruited these players with you in mind. I’m sure he didn’t want to watch his hard work of building a consistent national title contender to benefit a team hopping coach like yourself. Kudos go out to sportsbulls. Excellent move my friend!

I would look at the positive. It probably just means he respects you ab90, and wanted to leave you with a challenge, because he knew it would leave you more fulfilled in the end, even if it cost you a couple credits.

Would like to see another HOF'er weigh in on this. Somebody find me Gillispie or somebody else who is an adult in the pantheon with me. Signing the worst recruits you can to sabotage a team is like releasing all of your players in HBD, and that gets you thrown out.

No, it’s not like that at all. The HBD example is against fair play guidelines because it can directly benefit other players, often specific other players. (There are some other reasons too, but they have to do with HBD being a much smaller, closed league that must fill, and a depleted team can’t compete, but must be filled by a human, so apples and oranges). Unless you can show this move does that in some way, you have absolutely nothing here, other than hurt feelings over an apparently lost opportunity.

And if you honestly think you’re the one acting like “an adult,” you may want to find a new mirror.

I have never been one of those users critical of credit hunting, the way some coaches take over ready made teams. You can play the game in whatever way is fun for you, as long as you’re within fair play guidelines, as far as I’m concerned. Same goes for the guy you’re trying to drag, for apparently no good reason.

“an adult in the pantheon with me” LOL

I mean really what kinda feedback did you really expect?

By the way, I'm a Hall of famer too

I've never played HBD before... but I can't think of any reason why signing bad players at D3 in HD is a problem. Hell, I think it's good he did that versus battling other d3 teams and then just leaving the program and having it go sim. That would be worse in my opinion.

I really don't understand who this hurts. It's D3, there are over 250 available jobs, just pick one of those.

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.

I'll take bad takes by ab90 for 1000, Alex.

Imagine being this wrong and this disliked on an internet game.

Kudos

Daily double!

Going after a well liked high school kid whose HD success runs circles around most of the rest of us.

Not a great look, ab.

Withdrawn. See below.

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.

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...

+1

And that's crazy he sent a ticket.
