Well said. I've never had multiple accounts, been playing since 2001 on one account, learning and growing, I think multiple accounts is very dishonest. NO respect to those who choose to do so.

Must be they didn’t read this thread because there is another $140 mil league forming with managers of similar experience and success as the last one I posted about.

Perhaps this has something to do with multiple accounts, as stated previously, however I think that these guys are just chicken shite and/or looking for easy wins.

Someone should form a $140 mil, DH league called “For managers who aren’t afraid of facing real competition and won’t hide behind the “12 or less Rings” BS”!

Well, I started a league in response to this. It’s a public league and shouldn’t be hard to find.

If we can take our time in filling this league that’d be cool… the Name of the league sorta serves as a protest banner.

I think HAL helps new managers. you can game the system by being a "starter". i.e. win credits easier. the motive, starters get into playoffs with their new teams, they buy more credits they're hooked. I've always used the same account but the obvious is not an illusion.

How does HAL help new managers? Just curious about the evidence for this, or is it a hunch?

Something along the same lines but quite a bit different.

They’re at it again: “12 Rings” or less this time

Sometimes a little success is all you need to propel you a bit. I won my first championship in one of those leagues. I'm not great but I have won 26 more. Not weak, just wanting to compete. Of course I was in a sub 500 league.

BTW, as a coach I believe you can learn from winning as well as losing.

Yep-

Keep seeing these leagues-
Its almost always easy to tell the difference between someone who gets really lucky in the draft who might be newer and someone who is a veteran, by looking at WHICH PLAYERS they got.
Im not Sherlock Holmes but,
the only way is if its the plate scraper guy or someone who has gone in and gotten the data to see who was drafted by whom for a whole bunch of teams-
which imo, isn't right- but whatever.
Otherwise you know these folks are veterans playing under a different name.
Hell, Ive asked some of these guys and there is silence back- which tells me they don't want to answer when I ask if they've played under any other accounts.
