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

"so what was your rank last year?" "oh i came 54th,82nd,195th,420th and 891st"

TheMailman · January 31, 2012, 06:06:03 PM

Well for me as my 2nd year of Dt/SC I use the 2nd team as comparing scores between different strategies (i.e mid-pricers vs. Guns and rookies)

I came 9,978 or something so I doubt I'd be troubling the top 100 for a while so really I see nothing wrong with two teams. I'm in it to learn and have fun, not to win it

I think it's ok to have a SC and a DT side, but when i hear someone talking about there other DT team i cringe. If you tell me you finished top 100, i would say wow this guy is a serious DT'er. If you ranked top 100 with more then one team i'd call you a fraud.

flowering Exactley, Pick ya team and stand by your convictions, ya a sad person if ya need more than one team, even if it is to experiment. Personally i have SC / DT and sportsbet and find the 3 more than enough. If you want to experiment use one of these 3 teams. I use DT for it. Sorry dreamteamers but SC is more professional.

I'll admit I've done it before :P I just used it to control my itchy trade fingers :-X

I'll also fess up. I too have a 2nd email that I use. Years ago I ran 2 serious leagues and shot both down by trying to win each week rather than focus on the end. This meant too much early trading and no flag. You can also exercise the disease we call "must-trade-itis" by having a 2nd team that doesn't really matter. As I run DT & SC, having 4 teams to manage and waiting for the team announcements causes much grief in my household each Friday night.

Best to just listed to others discuss their strategy's and formulate your own idea on how to proceed. Get a few pointers from the better players, BUT make your own final decision. That's the only way you'll learn.

The 2nd team also has been handy to test out a few theories that i now use in my serious team. Very handy to experiment away from where the office comp banter is.

Another one to consider then, are you against creating teams to win the weekly prize in R11, 12 & 13?? Plenty do it. Who'll admit to it? I've never done it as too many reams to manage as is

They took Le Tour off that Spaniard the other day. Lets look at the car winners over the past few years. Two or three DT sights is the same as drug cheats. Lets ban all East Germans and Canadians with the surname Johnson from entering the Dream Team comp.

the stripping of his title was ridiculous. The drug they found in his system was one that fat people use to lose weight, it would have next to no beneficial effect on an athlete of his calibre, and would probably be detrimental. On top of that, the concentration of the drug was so small it was probably ingest through eating food, as it's used in the production of some types of food (like pork apparently).

poor comparison :P

fidou · February 08, 2012, 06:49:35 AM

OK lets forget Le Tour how about the East Germans in the 80's and Ben Johnson who were definite cheats.

ethics smethics

two teams are so u can have your main team and then a team where you can take more risks and pick so and sos because you tink they are going to break out. None of the second teams ever do that good because people dont have the time to keep up with all of them

serialpest · February 08, 2012, 03:51:32 PM

if u even consider this your a sad and sorry cheat and the karma gods will never let u win anyway!!!!!!

elephants · February 09, 2012, 03:10:19 AM

Make a rule, you may have as many teams as you want but the only people who have 1 team can win prizes.

Zombie2.5 · February 15, 2012, 10:45:00 PM

Last year in one of my leagues i think this guy made 3-4 teams or something
They all started with Handley and the coach name was all the same
but he was terrible lol

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