Warrior General Games

The Beavers will not be using it. Don't really think it would help. Thought about using it today against Dresden just to be funny. To be honest and I'm sure I'll hear alot about this but I think it's a bigger problem that teams recruit players that should be playing in higher leagues.

Not only do they out level you but they also have a lot more Vet points which are seeming to work very well. It doesn't matter what game plan you put in you really don't have a chance to beat a team who is 10+ levels higher than you.

Just my opinion but it seems like the same 'glitch' only the level 'glitch' one is sanctioned. Either way both are nearly unstoppable.

I love to game plan and this year I have not done a lot of that because it's a waste of time to try and stop a team higher than you. Anyway it's been a fun season and good luck to all of the playoff teams.

I am sorta lost. I am the OC for Chernobyl and I have no idea about the glitch. I have found it hard to keep up with all of the forums (having kids at home and a job). If you haven't noticed if we have been running this "glitch" then I guess we are not.

Amsterdam doesnt need to use it.

I will not use it.

To make it truly fair I move that each team posts their entire game plan. We will be expecting a post from Hollywood shortly...

if it helps the beavers plan on punting on random downs to increase the focus on special teams


not that it matters but my opinion is...this is a game...and in any competition I would expect people to display some level of sportsmanship. Exploiting a glitch displays an attitude of "Whatever it takes..." Based on what I have read I believe Dresden did this once. I did not change the playoff picture. If another team chooses to exploit the weaknesses of GLB instead of the weaknesses of the other team than it is a poor reflection of the teams character period. No amount bitching is going to change anything.

As for the beavers, we don't have to sign any contract to say we won't exploit a glitch. We won't because it is not in our character to have to win this way.

What is ironic is some of you bitching about the I strong glitch need to look at yourselves. I agree with WINDYCITY...look at this bs...

Only ONE of these players is within the "suggested" cap (kudos to Zane). How are people going to complain about a glitch when there is so much flippin inequity in the levels...I know I know thems are the rules...but there is no rule that says you can't run the same play 88 times.
THE POINT: it's sportsmanship and if a team is going to run through the league with ONLY 3 players lower than level 40, why are we going to complain about another team running the same play 88 times...

but, thems are the rules...right?

Good luck in the playoffs...we know we'll need it

it's this beavers time of the month

Would you edit your post and add the teams they play for... for all the people that hate belfast... not one of those players is on our team...

This part I hope was a joke...

Now this part on the other hand...

I 100% completely agree! Belfast has too much character to exploit a glitch. Hence the reason we won't use it... unless provoked.

The problem is, we have already established we have people here that have no character whatsoever. That is the unfortunate reason for this whole thread and "contract" idea. It's unfortunate that people like Cherrie and Beur feel the have to "exploit the weaknesses of GLB instead of the weaknesses of the other team" (great way of putting it by the way).

The other "question mark" that looms out there is, what about people who have not exploited it. There is no way of knowing if they will or if they won't, unless they post here. What if they were "saving it for the playoffs" (see: Cherrie), or they didn't even know the glitch existed until it was brought to light by our game against Dresden. Now teams with no character (but we didn't know they lacked character) may use it because they just recently found out about the problem!

THAT, and THAT alone is the reason I wrote this:

If you do NOT "sign" this agreement, it can be, and will be, assumed by other owners/GMs that you DO intend to exploit the Strong I glitch during the playoffs. If this is the case, then other owners are free to exploit the Strong I glitch against you with no penalty, even if you do not use the Strong I glitch, because you have not posted here.



And this:

Being the Offensive Coordinator for Belfast, I can speak for Belfast. We will not use it unless we play a team that has not posted agreeing to the above terms.

On a side note...we have the two best running backs in the whole league. If someone doesn't post here, and we play you, we WILL run the "Strong I Slam all the time" offense, and with our RBs we WILL win.



The bottom line is this...1.) I owe it to my team as their offensive coordinator to do my best to win every game we play. I also owe to my team to do it in a sportsman like and honorable way. 2.) I also owe it to my team to protect them for cheating "asshats" (thanks Flame) like Cherrie and Beur. And I'll be god damned, if I don't do my best to do both.

SO, IF you're going to play above board, then I'll happily compete against you. If you beat us "like a man" then I will congratulate you as the better team and wish you luck (see Belfast's friendly rivalry with the Amsterdam 49ers).

On the other hand, if you decide to cheat to try and beat us, then I'm going to do everything I can to counteract your dishonorably, by doing the exact same thing so that my team doesn't lose to someone who doesn't even deserve and account on GLB anymore...you know who you are...

The unfortunate part is this, because of the actions of a few, I'm now forced to take the attitude of "guilty until proven innocent". The innocent being the fine people who have posted here saying they will NOT exploit the Strong I slam glitch.

Lastly, to address lowby49er's (Amsterdam's owner) concern:
Originally posted by lowby49er
Well Amsterdam would never use it anyways. But the problem with you saying you will run it against somebody that doesn't say they will run it. Some owners might not post here so that would be an excuse to use it in my opinion.



I don't completely agree with him, but he does make a very valid point. THEREFORE, by the end of the day today, I will personally PM all of the owners in Western Europe A#6 that have not yet posted in this forum, making them fully aware of the situation, and providing them a link to this forum so they may be updated to the situation brought upon us by Dresden.

The Hitmen won't be running that "Strong I Slam".

We have 6 players level 40+. So nice try. And none of them are on the O Line which is our strength as all of you have learned. If you played her last season you would know whole teams were level 40+. So dont go by our "Suggested" level, its never been like that in the 3 seasons I have been here.

Oh, and CPP does not use glitches.

Beavers will not be running this play and look forward to our rematch with the Brotherhood in the playoffs.

Good luck to everyone!

All owners have had a PM sent...

For those of you who'd like to know what was sent, I'd love to post a copy, but I'm sure I'd get banned for posting PMs...

Hi,

As you may or may not know, there has been a situation in Western Europe A#6 involving a glitch with the play called Strong I Slam. This glitch has been exploited by some to make it nearly impossible for teams exploiting the glitch to lose, regardless of the level of the team they are playing against. There have been many threads and forum posts in the GLB general forums and a thread that just started in the Western Europe A#6 forum. As an owner of a playoff team in Western Europe A#6, we'd like you to pledge not to use this glitch during the playoffs as it ruins the spirit of the game. To borrow a line from adonaghy7, who owns the Birmingham Beavers, "If another team chooses to exploit the weaknesses of GLB instead of the weaknesses of the other team then it is a poor reflection of the teams character, period."

Please post in this forum thread that you do not intend on exploiting the glitch.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2359785&page=1

If you'd like to read about how this whole thing started (at least in Western Europe A#6), you can read through this thread:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2336067

If you do not post, other owners and GMs will assume that you may exploit the GLB weakness, and are free to use it against you int he playoffs. If a team posts that they will not exploit the glitch and goes back on their word, they will then be forced to forfeit the game and the playoff win will be awarded to the other team.

I apologize for the attitude of "guilty until proven innocent", but unfortunately the actions of a few have forced this upon the entire league.

If you have received this message and already posted in the above thread then please accept my apologizes and disregard.

Thank you!
