BuzzerBeater Forums

Hello everyone.

I am deeply saddened to hear these reports in the forums. I see how shocked everyone is with the situation, and I really can't even blame you one bit. There is supposed to be a bond of trust between the community and the developers, and it seems like that trust was blatantly violated.

I won't try to justify the situation by saying that BB-Anthony is one of our new developers. I won't try to justify this by trying to say that it might have been "internal testing" or something similar, because that's not an excuse and even if it was this would be inexcusable. I am as upset as you guys are -- especially since this is also a betrayal of my personal trust as well in a member of our new team.

BB-Charles and I will meet with the other members of the team to figure out how to fix this mess in a way that makes you all comfortable and helps us try to build back your trust. Until that happens, I have locked BB-Anthony's team and cut off his database access, and we will reach some conclusion as to what to do next as soon as possible.

Thank you Mark.
I don't think that this case will make you lose the community's trust.

Yes, one rotten apple doesn't make the whole basket bad. I'm pretty sure they're trying to find out what else he's been doing and try to reverse them. I'm also thinking that they can also find any other teams that might belong to his friends and he edited them as well.

Huh, you are sometimes clueless without smileys and directions :)

There is no need to make fun of this sad situation anymore. I still trust the big BBs, I only wish they will be more careful who they put their trust in.

That's true:)

I was joking before but now I've seen your post and it seems that this guy did it everything by himself. What we are asking is how do you recruit him, he was in this game since 2 months... In my personal opinion you can make all the test you want probably in the Vth series in Philippines he was the only one to play but in case this wasn't a test, you must pay attention to the people you hire. Anyway what is the worst thing in this matter is that this game has still too much bugs, seeing a BB that "works" to change his roster instead of solve the bugs is really bad.
Good luck with everything we are still here

There is no need to make fun of this sad situation anymore.

Except if you missed yesterday's party :p

i strongly disagree..!

BB-Ryan's actions should also be investigated now..
he is playing this game since Season-3 and he managed to make the B3 Playoff just after he became a BB..

remarks like these are sad. They insinuate that indeed the communities trust is (partly) lost.

when you become a BB you get access to (part of) the game and it's formulas. This will make you understand the entire game, as it is, rather then you have to do everything from experiences. Maybe he just found some extra things he didn't know about before, which where enough to push him that little further?
Maybe it was coinsidence that the timepoints where about the same of both happenings,...

In any case, the fact these things are brought up by 1, means they are probably thought by others, maybe even by many.

After screw up and having to fire a developper, this is something BB surely could do without.

You can all say: choose more carefully. Yes, maybe true, but in the end, the best talkers might be the best fraudeurs, so you never know who you exactly get. Unfortunatly this goes for the entire world. Maybe you guys shoudl check out on your bills for each second charged, for each dollar charged, for each thing on it, as it can very well happen outside of BB as well.

One thing the BBs can learn from it, is to work with contract in the future, that clearly hold economical fines, pay-backs and damage compensations for violating company procedures. It might be the only way to prevent bad people from trying such things i the future...

Unfortunatly , there is little they can do about the things that already happened.
