Reading that last sentence, I can't help be reminded of Charlie Brown's Softball team.

If your high ethical standards prevent you from accepting help from farmers or dedicated NT trainers, you might want to think about getting out of the NT game, and passing the stewardship on to someone more willing to play by the rules that exist and not the ones which you perceive to be fair and just. Because, as much as you might not like it, the rules out there are the rules out there.


As a GM you should know that NTs and U21s attract crooks and cheaters like a magnet, I dont know if advertising farm teams and other stupid things necessary in this system is a good idea...

There's a lot of unproven speculation in your monthly rant.

Just to pick out one part of your rant, if you're so worried about the user numbers going down and people leaving the game after short periods of time, what exactly are you doing to help prevent that from happening?

All you seem to do is bitch about anything and everything and that type of negativity certainly doesn't help promote the site/game or keep new users onboard. If I was a new user and started reading all of your posts, I'd decide that everything about this game is either broken or crooked and I wouldn't come back. (And your posts just draw more negative replies such as this one so I do understand that I'm not helping right now either).

So maybe it's you that's the actual problem here? I still can't understand with all the time you spend here and all the bitching you do why you continue playing this game? Last year you blamed the game engine for being specifically crooked towards your team as if it was done on purpose. I'm sure that you still believe that to be true yet you're still here.

My experience with the NT was that almost all of the people with whom I had any contact were pretty cool. I'm not advertizing farm teams, just acknowledging their existence and the fact that they are as yet not illegal.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I think it's not the worst to have people thinking about negative things going on in this game. Although it might not be proven, but you can estimate that there might be some cheating around. Just because it's so easy to do so.

Maybe the BBs look into this one day. Wouldn't it be nice to have this game running without any cheaters or farm teams and all this shitty things.
Shout loud and you'll get something at least. Maybe that's what our Japanese colleague is trying to do. Don't blame him for that. There certainly IS some general problem around this matter.

As long as there are on-line games, there will be users looking to cheat or take short cuts. It's like saying wouldn't it be nice if society was completely free of crime? It's never going to happen, it's just human nature. But I think they have set up a good system to report and ban obvious cheaters and that's as much as I can ask for.

But this isn't what I was commenting on, I was commenting that Wolph was accusing the game engine of singling out his team specificially, I think it was his attendence he was complaining about but I could be wrong. If I thought that the game engine/mods was specifically singling out me and my team to put me at a disadvantage , I'd quit tomorrow as I'm sure most people would. But he remains here which only makes me think that he was simply looking to bitch and gain attention.

Either way, if you read any Wolph posts it's almost certainly a complaint. I don't ever remember him giving praise to a game that he visits every single day. I just hope he's not this negative/distrusting in real life or he would be one depressing dude to be be around.

Please don't be that naive. There have been games around for nearly 10 years, that still have cheaters, despite the developers best intentions to curb it.

People will cheat, because they can't stand losing. Or they like the thrill of getting over. Not sure which, I don't cheat.
