BuzzerBeater Forums

i disagree. (the jokes are funny, that is not the problem)

the sarcasm in the jokes is out off place. this is a bug forum where people should report bugs etc. whether the jokes are ment as "jokes", placing them here, on a multicultural forum where most people dont speak natively english is waiting for more disaster and bad PR to happen.

Huh??

it is a known fact that most miscommunication comes from not understanding eachother. placing these kind off jokes that can cause alot off confusion whether it is ment real or not, will loose the focus on what is real and what is not, causing even more confusion.

I'm confused...

you lost a lot off trust, (not with me, but i am sure with many others) and these "joke" like comments between the "serious" messages in which the BB staff is trying to explain what happened and to regain trust, is showing me again that the BB staff created an awesome and addictive game, but they have no clue how "customer support" and "public relations" work...

I guess you do. BB's - hire this one instead of Anthony.

(no there is no sarcasm in my message and i am not upset or angry or whatever)

There is sarcasm in my post to compensate lack of it in your posts :)
You sound kind of angry. Tip - grab a beer, sit back and relax. :)

What I am still working on though is cyberdine's role in all of it.

there always involved somehow .

ps. dont use that cyberdine as an excuse when you eat your girlfriends cookies and cream choc , it wont help she will just get confused as well as angry :)

I'm curious, what are the consequences for BB-Antony misconduct, only ban from BB, or real civil suit? Since he's not an USA citizen, what can you do?
Probably, you couldn't do anything; but he did quite a big damage, if you had shares on stock market you would probably be flat on the floor, because from now on every little thing or bug will be multiplied in user's heads since lots of people trust is irretrievably ruined. So, where the guaranties that something like this wouldn't happen again are, where the guaranties that this isn't happening somewhere right now are? But with someone who is little bit gentler on cheating agenda.
And more thing, this Antony act is unbelievable stupid, so probably it isn't really cheating at all, probably this is just an expression of frustrated mind, probably he is that mentioned, in News article, weakest link.
I think that easiest solution is that BB-teams are removed from competitive positions, OK, I understand that you need live teams to see how some changes are performing, and similar stuff, but it's not necessary for those teams to be in the I division, because you know about saying "Opportunity makes a thief", and if you need to see how some things are affected in high-quality teams, you could always have some voluntary test subjects.

So, because Anthony cheated, I should pay? My team should be removed from competition? Do you have any evidence that I cheated? I mean, you're just implying that if I have the powers to cheat I must cheat? I know you didn't mention me directly, but I'm a BB and you said BB's.

I don't think I will ever cheat. The day I start cheating will be the day I lose interest in this game (and will probably quit too). I can't believe you'd think that honorable players like Ryan, Patrick or myself should suffer because of what Anthony did. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't expect this from you (since I have met you directly and I consider you a friend).

Some of our honorable members should be prescribed a daily injection of relaxed attitude and antiseriousness but this we already knew, right ? ;)

It was just a stupid incident and caused no real harm, it will go down in BB's history as that incident when a noob staff was caught pants down and we laughed at him. Let's ridicule it, it's the healthy and appropriate reaction.
Everyone was betrayed and I fully sympathize with the BB owners and staff.

Now trust. What was my trust based on before ?... I don't know but on nothing objective anyways. I just want to trust that things are run fairly. And it's a game, it's not even really important. Relax. Some words may hurt. It's unfair to make others pay for the mistake of a black sheep.

So I will still be trustful and expect to be rewarded for this (same as usual, at the economic update, all right ? I have raised my fees, check your BB-mail please).

I had line at the end of my post that said "Sorry Marin, I didn't directly mean you and your team, I meant in general" and removed it, because I didn't want to bring up that we are friends in RL))))
But let me give you my opinion concerning that; this is your paid job, and of the others too, and I'm quite sure that your salary in this matter is more important to you than playing the game itself, so some sacrifices for greater good, if it's necesarry, would be expected, and this isn't related to you and your honesty, which is, as you said, unquestionable, and I can concur that 100%, but some things or some people can't go in the same basket with you, as we have witnessed in Antony case, so the easiest thing to do is to remove the possibility...

Do all BB-s know the exact stat weights for different positions? Obviously it's hard to get the best players, even if you know them, but it's still a big advantage.

I think that easiest solution is that BB-teams are removed from competitive positions

I really like this idea. This is the case in real life sometimes. You work in a place that sells lotto tickets, you are not able to win. You work at a casino you are not allowed to gamble at that casino.
Think about it...If I see a player and his OD is marvelous, all I see is a marvelous(level 15), a BB sees the same player and they see level 15.9. How about the hidden traits like fouling? I'm guessing they aren't hidden to you guys. It's like playing a video game with the cheat codes.. Not very fair if you think about it.
