You know Herman, I have always attempted to help but every time I try, the LC sides with the cheaters. Just like this last round when I found a bunch of players that were playing multi accounts in this league and were playing on HOF. I deleted every one of their accounts. You know what they did? The went to X-Shit where they were welcomed with open arms. They accuse HOF of being a problem board that cheats. We have never cheated in any league...ever. The irony of it all is every time there is ever any cheating in a league, it is the LC that embraces the cheaters and protects them.

This story that I am telling you is different from that. I do not react to cheating by cheating, I react to cheating by vocalizing so that to cover up my truth they have to lie, which they have done. They have even banded together and lied, how pathetic.

I really don't care if they are amused or not. He who laughs last laughs longest.

I realize that you truly believe that and in a non-cheating league it WOULD be the approach to take. There are a few leauges though, 777 being one of them that the approach you mention does not work. http://www.hofbbs.net * telnet://fame.darktech.org 2 dial-in lines 330.456.0483 and 330.456.0484 ....
