Hey Richard...
If I can just let you know respectfully. I've been part of one of the more vocal teams on the site for 1 season.
Before I joined, it did cross my mind that there were alot of 'gangs' or cliques developing.. a trend that I thought may be counterproductive as far as maintaining a level playing field for everyone. Fortunately my fears were proven wrong. In fact, I found that because of the team set ups, the exact opposite was happening in as much as fair play seemed far more important for the sake of team integrity. I think that's the reason for the harsher than usual backlash here. Everyone tries very hard to keep things on the up and up.

Yup, I've told my team, and they all agree that if and pre-challenge critiques are given, those pictures are not to be voted upon for any reason at all.

I can understand being suspicious as you're on the outside of this, but Langdon, and I think CJ and Manic are not on teams, and they're the ones who do the investigating. Have a little smidgen of faith in your fellow DPC'ers dude.


CJ and langdon were both on Team Smite. Although I think langdon quit after season 1. We never did quite figure out who was and who wasn't on that team.

What's a pre-challenge critique?

After doing minimal research, I have a question. Is it the teams (gangs) that are bothering you or is it your recent low scores that are bothering you?

just as an FYI: I've been on this site for more than 2 years (that means BEFORE teams were ever here) and the voting curves have not changed except to say that its harder to get a higher score now because of the number of people voting. Its always been a little low right at the beginning (first 12-36hrs) and then it rises a bit, maybe a little fall for a while, and then rise again. Its basic, and unchanged; it is completely unaffected by the teams having "side" competitions.

Yeah, that's what I do!

Ever since I joined Team Suck, my scores have steadily declined. I fail to see any direct correlation, though.

This is a good idea and is a necessary precaution to take, to ensure that fairplay exists. Not that I'm saying anyone is doing it right now, but then again, I won't bet on it.

example: someone once got away with it for an entire year!

That's different, he wasn't "Team Voting" he had an entire outside force voting for him... but he did get caught.

and if anyone in the wpl is cheating, i am sure that they, too, will also be caught. if not "yesterday," then perhaps "tomorrow."

Judging by the sparsity of tangible evidence I would suggest to you that you have no case.

Unsubstantiated accusations and unsupported allegations do not a case make... and your wild accusations would not witstand any form of scrutiny by anyone remotely cognizant of legal parameters.

Prior to casting aspersions on the collective, it might prove propitious on your part to find tangible evidence of these nefarious activities you allude to.

Just a thought.

... and Ray, being quite paranoid wonders just how did the grandwazoo know this. (Checks his secret decoder ring to make certain no one has cracked the code)
