I just want to say, as much as he was cheating in this league, he really got hosed by the eNFL.

He had 2 incidents in the eNFL.

The first case was when he backloaded a contract and claimed that he had merely offered the player what he wanted. When challenged by the committee to prove it by providing a screenshot, he declined. I wonder why? He was allowed to keep the player by doing a release/resign in the same export like he's done here.

He also didn't comply with our player usage rule by leaving in his preseason lineup full of scrubs for 4 weeks of the regular season, giving his opponents a bunch of cheap wins. He wound up getting censured for that.

So how was he hosed?

Why? It is a good thing that this kind of cheat and the cheater were brought to the attention of the entire multiplayer community.

If i remember right, he wasn't allowed to do it. he just did it. The rules committee eventually did allow him to keep the player after resigning him this way, but he pissed off a bunch of people by the release/resign.

Indeed, I was on Raider's side of the argument when the scrubs situation went down in the eNFL. But after seeing how the PFL is handling this I much rather the response you can expect from the eNFL rules committee, for better or for worse.

But I thought Kozure said the eNFL rules comittee just looked the other way and allowed a member of their league to continue to cheat, while pissing off the other owners in the league.


LOL.. Seems like members of the eNFL should of thrown out the rules committee and stopped this cheater themselves, or at least maybe impeached their Commish for looking the other way. Why any league out there would allow another owner in its league to cheat is beyond me.


I guess this should be a warning to all the owners out there that think this kind of thing does not happen in our leagues. There is cheating going on, and sometimes the League Commissioners know about it, but choose to look the other way.

Anyone spotting a Cheater in their league should do exactly what clown did and scream what they know to everyone who will listen. Both on your league boards and here at FOFC, that way the people in charge will not ba able to just look the other way. Congrats Clown!

That's not what happened at all. The eNFL rules committee has generated some controversy, but none of it for being passive. Quite the opposite.

Were thing done out in the open or was it done like the PFL with the Commish locking threads and telling other owners they are not allowed to post about it?

The Holy Roller
Casper was also involved in another famous NFL contest on September 21, 1978, between the Raiders and San Diego Chargers. The Raiders trailed the Chargers 20-14 with just ten seconds left in the game. Oakland quarterback Ken Stabler, about to be sacked, flipped the football toward the goal line in an effort to save the game. Raiders running back Pete Banaszak recovered the ball at the San Diego 12-yard line but tossed the ball further forward to avoid a game-ending tackle. Casper kicked the ball at the San Diego 5-yard line and finally recovered it in the end zone to tie the game. The extra point attempt was good and Oakland won the game, 21-20.

I can't quite remember the situation. Basically Raider signed a free agent to a contract against the house rules. He was forced to release him and take the cap hit, but then resigned him the same stage. It was then decided the cap hit was the desired penalty and he could keep the player. The RC did the same action with another GM later on.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, that situation doesn't really stick out in my head. One thing is for sure though, the eNFL RC never looks the other way or turns a blind eye, that's been proven numerous times .

RC discussion is done behind closed doors, but there are threads open to discuss it.

That is what scares me the most, I get the feeling that the PFL Commish is trying to cover everything up. This is a huge No-No in an online league where you don't actually know your fellow owners and their real relationships with eachother.

This is completely different now. If I read this correctly the owner was instructed to perform this cheat as part of his punishment. This is probably where he learned to do this cheat and he got busted when he did the cheat in another league.

His cheat was some type of backloaded contract. The sign and release was the eNFL rules committee's way to geta round the games rules to allow this owner to keep his player, but punish him at the same time.

Just saw a special about that play(and others) the other day. Complete garbage, the refs should have called it back. Its the reason for that "no advancing a fumble in the last 2 mins of a game rule, right?

What are you talking about? It is against the game rules to sign a player you released the same year. Cheater...Cheater...Cheater...

My mistake, the rules committee DID allow him to resign him as part of their resolution of the backloaded contract he offered his player. I was mixing up a different incident that happened in the eNFL.

But, i was never saying that the rules committee was doing something wrong. I thought the GM that did the release/resigning of a player was something that the eNFL Rules Committee didn't expect when the GM was ordered to release the player. They eventually ruled that GM could keep the player (after the release/resign), but created a rule that outlawed the release the signing of a player during the same stage. The player MUST have a chance to be on the FA market.

So, if I'm reading this right ...

1)Some complete asshole cheated
2)Some disgrace of a commish found cheating tolerable
3)The majority of the league puts up with both the asshole cheater AND the idiot commisioner
4)The villian of the piece turns out to be the guy who outed the cheater.

And anybody wonders why I have zero interest in ever playing a game MP style?

Sheesh.

Yaba,

I have no problem exposing pontential game cheats to the community. What is unforunate is that when the GM originally discovered the issue it wasn't discussed and resolved in-house first, rather than discussing it here instead. If he wanted to post here to expose a particular player, that's his business. However, the PFL has a lot of good owners and a dedicated commish and the way things have played out here, it makes everyone in the league look bad. Which I feel is unfair. JMHO.

That isn't what makes the league look bad.

That'd be:
The tolerance for a cheater, the support for a commisioner who tolerates cheating, the complaints about a player who exposed a cheater.

THAT'S what makes the members of the league look bad, not the discussion.
JMNSHO.

I think it would have been wise for Clown to bring the issue to the commissioner's attention first before making it public, but publically announcing the cheating is nothing compared to the act of cheating itself.

The reaction at Primetime seems to be the other way: the whistle-blower is getting chastised for bringing the issue in the open and the league scrambles to cover the issue up by stifling discussion and deleting threads. No matter how hard the league tries to cover up the issue, the issue would have come into the open anyway. The current reaction only serves to inflame the issue more.

The league's reaction to the issue has done far more to tarnish the league's image than the cheating did; the whistle-blowing did nothing to tarnish the league's image. Clown's first posts in this thread are mainly trying to figure out if what Raider1 did is actually cheating or not.

I would think a commissioner would welcome a player that watches league transactions as closely as Clown 2 did; with so many things going on, eyes at that level of detail would be very helpful for catching shady behavior.

I believe he did contact the commish before coming here, but I don't think he waited to get a response before he started this thread...

*confused*

Commish was told 5 days ago.
clown told commish days ago.




Okay, so clown wasn't the first to tell Commish. Then who was? Raiders1? Was he coming clean?

LOL.. Seems like members of the eNFL should of thrown out the rules committee and stopped this cheater themselves, or at least maybe impeached their Commish for looking the other way. Why any league out there would allow another owner in its league to cheat is beyond me.


I guess this should be a warning to all the owners out there that think this kind of thing does not happen in our leagues. There is cheating going on, and sometimes the League Commissioners know about it, but choose to look the other way.

Anyone spotting a Cheater in their league should do exactly what clown did and scream what they know to everyone who will listen. Both on your league boards and here at FOFC, that way the people in charge will not ba able to just look the other way. Congrats Clown!

Tredwel certainly didn't look the other way. Neither did the eNFL's rule committee. We approached the owner in question and gave him an opportunity to rectify the situation. When that didn't happen, we took action. If anything, the eNFL rules committee is blamed for sticking to the letter of the rules too much and enforcing too many rules, however, I think situations such as what have been happening in other leagues recently make me glad that we do that.

Tredwel does an amazing job of running our league, and we have many high quality, high character owners in the eNFL.

Wow, what a joke the PFL is. Who's the commish? I'd put more blame on him than Raider for the downfall of that league. It's like there was a carefully thought out plan to do everything the wrong way.

100% agreed. And I've pretty much echoed your sentiments as well.

Yes, the eNFL handled the situation the best it could.

You all can expect a full explanation of everything later tonight. Not that I feel that I need to explain myself to anyone on this forum but I will. Here is the punishment agreed upon by the members of the PFL.

1. Releases all drafted players signed to illegal contracts over the past 2 seasons (Including CB Ellis).
2. Receives a $700k cap hit by signing the worst FA punter and then releasing him.
3. Forfeits next year's first round draft pick.
4. Steps down from all positions of leadership. Eligible for reinstatement after 3 seasons by league-wide vote (Two-thirds majority).

Feel free to criticize all you want, it doesn't hurt me any...after all it is JUST A GAME!
