In this draft someone took a kicker at 1.3. I wasn't awake at the time but once I found out, I went off in league chat. I suspect he's new, haven't checked, so I'm refraining from complaining on their message board but I had to share/vent somewhere. Look at the next few picks of players he could have had instead, including a low volatility 92 speed CB.

Yeah, dude joined 1 week ago. I guess we need to send him one of those help post links, and said as much on chat.

Active, too with a negative name. Coming right in with the word 'hater.'

Don't like the vibe.

It's sad because I won't let anyone join the XFL unless they have at least a few months playing in other leagues.

Learning on the clock in the XFL would be brutal plus there is always a chance it's a GDB or other bad owner duplicate account.

I will push them to MFN-# leagues or even D&D since it's a tester league and offer to answer any questions they might have in the meantime.

9/10 never even respond which scares me into believing they are a duplicate account up to bo good. Why would a newbie get upset and not ask questions once I explain the XFL is for advanced owners with experience

Maybe this will be the impetus to GDB retiring?

His leagues got invalidated with all the cheating and the people within them have to be hmm what to do in reaction. Perhaps, he'll now go underground.

So did I miss something with the resurgence in GDB posts? He cheat again?

What a freaking TOOL. I just don't get why anyone would cheat at this game. There is no money or prizes involved and very few people actually gaf about who wins these championships. So to go to cheating lengths for personal glory in your own mind just makes no sense.

I suppose I could end up in a # league with him again at some point, but just another confirmation of what I already thought about this guy.

CJ can detail it, but even worse...

GDB gimmicked his own league with rule guidelines and then broke them to do his own thing.

Basically, force your GMs to play within a box and then you play outside it to manipulate an overwhelming advantage.

Greg,

GDB is the league admin of the DFL league and went on a rant in discord and across MFN forums calling for the removal of the FB dive & Flat zone plus the need to remove WR at TE and all the other positional exploits in the game.

In DFL where he is admin, he made custom rules where everybody uses 3 deep of the actual position in the depth chart 3 real LBs, 3 real TEs etc.

He rambled on about "playing the game straight" and stopping "exploit-ball" urging everyone to report to him and for everyone to be an adult about it.

Then in the postseason, GDB used overrides to put CB at LB and other positional exploits since his depth chart was in line with the rules.

If you have 3 LBs at WLB & SLB and you use 35-40 fatigue, maybe the A.I. will play a DB at LB for 1 or 2 plays max. It happened over 20 times.

Typical GDB response for a league where he is the freaking admin!!! I missed that, I can't remember which leagues have rules
