Is it un-ethical to have a relative make a team for you ?

Scrads · January 30, 2012, 12:02:26 AM

This is something I know some people do, personally I have never done it but may consider it in the future. Is it un-ethical to get your brother/girlfriend/parent/friend to make a team that you have full influence over, in an attempt to have 2 shots at the prizes ?

It changes your chances from 1 in 350000 to 2 in 350000.

In short no. I think I might make a new email with a unique team.

would you feel at all cheated if someone won the car using a second team ? ESPECIALLY if you came 2nd overall ?

To be fair though some people have greater chances than others.

What is this world coming to? :'( Now we have these sorry excuse of Team players asking this kind of questions? ::) No it is not unethical. It is criminal behavior. Just as bad as cheating on your mistress with your wife. Stealing a lolly from a kid. Telling as you were in the top 100,000 in DT. I am keeping an eye on you. May you live in interesting times... and you shall pay for your sins.

A. Yes.

We should not do one thing that is unethical. Not one. This is one of those things that you have to work through. As long as you know that every card you're playing is on top of the table, then you smile and go on about your business and let the chips fall, because you know they're going to fall right at the end of the day.

Then, and only then, you can sleep better at night.

I could listen (watch) you talk (type) all day Roost.

Wow, Im glad I have found a topic that some posters on here obviously feel really strongly about to say the least :P

Keep it up guys, some good discussion.

ok, unethical for your brother/son/wife, whatever, to have a team that you 'assisted' in choosing and 'assist' in running.

The new email account is just blatant cheating though. At least be subtle about it :P
