I had a feeling that the Admins would do that this week !!!
They've had months to act on that issue and they have chosen to do it now ? Interesting move on their behalf. Especially when you consider that they have allowed one of the other teams involved to stay active ... for now at least. Does it restore some fairness ? Yes and No, depending on everyone's personal views. I personally see both sides of it . I think we'd all agree tho that it again highlights some major issues with the current format for deciding league placings.

I'm sure Audrey will be delighted as he now get's a 'true' bot while you will face a weak human team. There will only be one winner out of that as I'd imagine that you will be affected by the relax rule more than he is.

As for the Admins ? Not exactly your finest hour is it ? Your actions are making the game even more of a joke/mess than it already is when a team bots themselves and affects the outcome of league standings.
Surely now more than ever you will realize that you MUST MAKE CHANGES to how teams with equal records are to be separated from each other as your current format of point differential DOES NOT WORK !! You have enough options to choose from - but Head to Head records (and head to head points where required if 2 games have been played and split) would surely be the simplest and most obvious one to ensure the fairest outcome.

Just do something because this issue, along with the many others within the game, are fast sending it on a one way trip ..... down the drain !!

Best of luck to both teams involved in the shoot-out.

.... I hope you haven't jinxed him when the next training update comes round !!

There's my innings in the book. Target is 111 or more. Run rate of almost 2 points per minute required.

It is actually the Pigs greatest ever winning margin. But somehow I don't think it will be enough. Midgets are more than capable of running this total down.

Now for the 7 hour tea break. Good luck Audrey.

Hmmm Is that what I had said ? Those are your words my friend, not mine. Nobody has suggested a player preference had been shown by Admins. Except you that is. That is also interesting to me.
Now ... Here's what I had said about the Admins actions - "Interesting move on their behalf. Especially when you consider that they have allowed one of the other teams involved to stay active ... for now at least."
Let me break it down for you.......

As I had clearly stated one of the teams (from the group of teams involved in other players complaints/concerns of multi team ownership) have been allowed by the Admins to continue without punishment. This is Interesting to me as it shows me that each team has been dealt with on a 'team by team' basis. With this in mind, I'm surprised that the Admins have looked at each team individually and failed to notice the Impact it would have on the game to ban the team involved in the AFLC now, compared to say next week. That's a big oversight that has a direct impact on other teams seasons. It's even more interesting when I look at the one team that has been allowed to stay active as I fail to understand why they have been allowed to do so. So yes, I find it interesting why they would take this action now rather than next week. But, as I said, you are the only one who has shown any thinking along the lines of player preference being involved.

I also notice that your views on certain things have mellowed recently. Was it not only a couple of weeks ago that you were making statements about another player sabotaging you on purpose, when he had simply had enough of the game ? I've no Idea what could have happened recently that has led to the change though

No hard feelings tho bud and I wish you all the best today.
Best of luck

When you said that you kinda expected the Admins to terminate the Pvris this week, I thought that you were implying that the Admins were trying to even things out in Group B after Dumbarajko's disappearing act. Now I see what you meant instead.

No need for apologies mate. I've done the same many a time.
