In that way it wouldnt make a difference if you made a completely new server. I for one specifically joined hamilton because i liked several people in that discord from interactions I had had with them in various other LR's, but I didnt join hamilton because of those LR's that I was in with them, but because they were cool and friendly people. Your argument here is completely invalid, and you know that, but you want to argue and create more issue where there really doesnt need to be any, especially given the current constant hostility in the league, especially if you have a specific team in mind for this stance youve decided to take completely out of the blue

NEVER! and we all know that tampering is never be same! we had many different ways of tampering in the SHL history! and you also with Canada or not? there the punishment is like a joke in comparison to SHL!

People that talk dismissively or contemptuously regarding STHS are not helping the situation. Shitting on the sim engine we've used very successfully for fifty seasons, whether its because you want to promote the switch to FHM or some other, personal reason counterproductive and unwise. Anything that tends to invalidate or belittle the league's long and proud history is hurting us at a time when we can ill afford it. There has been plenty of finger pointing over this exploit discovery. I think that the SHL needs to come together and move past this to find a solution instead of casting anger to those who found a flaw and chose to use it. It was only a matter of time before someone found it anyways and did the same. What's important is how we all move on and figure out how to make it work again. There are solutions, we have to stop looking at everything as destroyed and instead look at it as an opportunity to grow.

I'm with you though on the history of the league, and preserving that, but I think there is room to criticize STHS without bad mouthing the SHL. in my opinion this latest heat against HAM was only because it was brought up in the offseason but HAM still made that instead to react and change it! I believe there is no other issue about S51!

There is a difference though between merely finding an exploit while looking for an edge, and still choosing to take advantage of it as much as possible even after it had been shown how this hurts the league as a whole and maybe even threatens its existence. I have defended HAM quite a bit when it comes to this, but I can't really blame the people who are mad at them when stuff like this is out there: It's this "We'll burn this whole place down if we have to in order to win a cup" attitude that has people upset along with the dickish behaviour of some of their players whenever this topic comes up, not the exploit itself. Which is kinda ironic because I don't think the exploit is actually as bad/potent as many seem to think, it's how people have responded to it, both on HAM and in the anti-HAM camp, that is causing the real harm.

It's not something that was sent to me personally, it's a screenshot that has been circulating on Discord that I have seen on multiple different servers at this point, so I took it to be somewhat common knowledge. You are right though that this probably adds a bit more fuel to the fire in case there are a lot of people who haven't seen it yet, but then again I think it's also important to recognize how unrelenting the people who found the exploit still seem to be. And it's kinda tough to follow your absolutely justified calls for unity when key people involved in this process still so clearly put personal gain over the good of the league.

The reason the forums are dead lately is because 25 teams have players that have essentially been told S51 and S52 are worthless because Hamilton will have been using the exploit for two seasons. We’re literally wasting 4(?) 5(?) months of our lives on seasons that will end up holding no worth by the end of it because of how tainted they are by the exploit.

I still cant understand why HAM (and other teams/players) were allowed to keep those builds, when you compare the two: 1) let them keep the builds OR 2) put couple updaters to revert their builds back to what they were = the second one feels a lot better?
Sure, some regression players and their builds were reverted, but looking at Hamiltons roster right now it looks pretty bad and everybody is now doing it or going to do it. 20 between SC and PA is not enough. Weird call to let it happen. More urgency and power to fight against certain words than something that can potentially even destroy the league.

Because it became apparent that no matter how you restrict builds, there will always be 1 build that's clearly better than others. Those restrictions can help for a couple of seasons, but they can't be a permanent solution. |
