So it looks like you got what you wanted and Ceynwyn lost moral, money, XP and did not win any rank on the draft board.

Thank you to all my colleagues in AC East for making it such a fantastic season and a crazy final day.

I'm so glad that I survived and made it to play in Elite next season (by a PD of 5 !!!)

Unlucky for Centurions and Juggernauts who played their part with an overtime game but my unbelievable win over the Bridges did enough.

My starting QB and 6 other senior players are retiring so next years Elite team will be more youthful.

Great accomplishment!!!!

Well done dumpling. Great achievement in a very homogeneous division.

As for MY roster changes I have money issues and could not maintain my salaries with out a few playoff incomes... and my changes had little if any impact on the team I fielded. I made every effort at my disposal to win games.

DO NOT DEFEND HER ACTIONS.

Is BS and we all know it. It deserves a warning regardless if draft was effected or not.

.NOTE{ Looks like Russia/Ukraine went hot. A Dam and a meat warehouse/factory experienced explosions.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.



What are we talking about here? relax mode is a feature of the game, whether you like it or not, use it or not.
I didn't have the time anyway to prepare a gameplan as I usually do, and considering there was no point in winning I didn't strive to do so...
never seen someone so annoyed by a win...
cheers

Outside of a handful teams, you were nearly spot on with all of your predictions, Rufio. It's been fun reading your takes all season, and congratulations on a very strong season yourself!


Thanks! I take some time doing a little research on each team so I can attempt to place them correctly. A handful tricked me one way or another. I haven't done so hot in the playoffs though, so we'll see if I do better this time around.

money issues = missmanagement for how long?
playing one game relaxed mode = missmanagement for how long?

Funny how I'm in the wrong here and I'm made out to be the bad manager.

Says a lot about some of you..

Real honest sportsman here.

FROM THE RULE BOOK:
Tanking, the definition: throwing away games, losing on purpose.

Why should someone do this? Oh, there are many reasons. One reason might be just to have a better draft pick, by picking earlier.

Why is it bad for the game? It causes strange gameplay, and is discouraging managers. It causes support tickets, and therefore workload. It causes bad reputation of the whole game.

Not at all, from my side. At ther same time I do not consider it bad tactics or tanking if the division was decided before the last gameday, and the only action that was taken is to switch to relaxed.

And after all: one draft spot higher or lower won't make the big difference.

I am sorry for the experience, since you expected more from a gameday. At the same time I fully understand the decision made by the other manager.

I would like to share some thoughts about this relax mode issue involving some of my Dragons region fellows...

The relax mode is a feature of the game and usually there is no problem using it. I have played many times on relax mode against bots on SC and even against some weak opponents of lower divisions. It helps to rest some players specially after a MOTY game. I do this almost every season depending on my league and SC schedules.

Unfortunately, this feature may be used whenever a manager decides this is helpful for his/hers intentions. It is not illegal. But, in some situations, it is not ethical. I can understand the complain about it and agree that it should not happen again without any kind of punishment. But I can also understand the reason behind the decision of playing relaxed as it is not forbidden by the game rules. Both are right in their point of view. And nothing could be done under the rules we have.

I think we should discuss on another forum about ideas to limit or punish such actions without banning the relax mode feature. Maybe limiting the usage of it just like the MOTY. Or apply some penalty, financial or not, for clear tanking actions. Maybe a way to inform against the anti-competitive use of it. Just ideas.

Please people, stay calm and try to understand each other. No reason for argues in RZA.



Edit: I was writing this post while Pete answered. I feel that we share the oppinion about this whole situation.
