YOU came into this post boasting that you knew this was against the rules and brazenly circumvented them anyway.. no one else did that.... which a spit in the face to anyone on this site that works hard to earn there TPE and play this SIM fairly. at least show some humility when you tell everyone you circumvented the rules.

I dont give a shit about any loopholes... we all knew why there was a cut off date for tpe and the wording was clear enough that 95% of the league did it right...since HO isnt giving out any info, i looked at all the regression updates and here are the numbers:

Code:

- 94.4 % of the people in regression did theres the right way. (in that 5.6% is 1 team that almost all there players in regression exploited the loophole)
- If you take away that 1 team then 96.72% of the league did regression correctly.

So i dont know how it was 10-15 seasons ago, but right when you did it... it was a small amount of people who didnt follow the regression rules. 1 of them being your GM Wannabefinn... which frankly is amazing to me as he just lead the play by the rules outrage post -> **HERE**  

So WBF on 1 hand champions the role of fairness and transparency.. while knowlingly circumventing the rules against all his peers with the other hand.

But that's the point. It wasn't against the rules. The only reason why you thought it was against the rules was because you didn't understand the rules.

I haven't done anything that is considered cheating- like holding off on claiming TPE until after the regression posts are up, or double claiming anything, or anything else that would be considered cheating. If you go back to some regression threads, you'll even see that I've come in and done the honest thing and corrected HO when I was due a higher number.

What has essentially happened, is that two updates have been condensed into one. At no point would that have cost me dropping any stats below 85, unless I wanted them to fall below 85 (strength this offseason, endurance an offseason or two ago), because I've always had the ability to keep them above 85 from all the TPE I still have in my strengths, even if you attempted to retroactively enforce the rule on all of my previous regression posts and forcibly split them into two updates. I might never even reach the point where I need to do that (I'm retiring in S52/S53ish), and Izzy's high water mark for TPE was even higher than mine, so you probably won't have to do it either.

This is why we're being assholes about it to you- because despite your screenshots, I know my maths check out, and I know you're going out of your way to try and light a fire because Calgary and Buffalo have an ongoing feud about our duck and rabbit deities.
