Collusion happening in CUST-21, CUST-35. CUST-9 and CUST-64 also at risk.

There's a group of owners all that are in CUST-21 and CUST-35 that are colluding. Not sure if it's one person IRL or a group of friends, but it's getting a bit rediculous. In CUST-21, Tullahoma Tullahoma Steam just made several suspect trades in trades with Moscow, Leningrad, Corellia, and Boston. In most of those trades it's a 4 for 2 swap where Steam gets two upgrades from four recently signed players, and sometimes the trades are made just minutes apart.

The owners of those teams are:
Tullahoma - LYTREQ - joined MFN 12/19/16, joined CUST-21 2/5/17. Other leagues are 9 and 64.
Moscow - LSJET - joined MFN 12/25/16, joined CUST-21 1/9/17 Other leagues are 9 and 35.
Leningrad - XaT3 - joined MFN 12/17/16, joined CUST-21 1/9/17 and 2/5/17. Also in CUST-35.
Corellia - DIKDIK - joined MFN 12/18/16. Other leagues are 9, 35, and 64. Former
Boston - MATUREJungle - joined MFN 12/25/16. Also in CUST-64.

Tullahoma was formerly owned by SEAMONSTER, who joined MFN on 12/17/16, is also in CUST-17, CUST-25, and CUST-64, and made some suspect trades with LUXE, who joined MFN on 12/19/16, and is only in CUST-21, CUST-35, and CUST-64.

LSJET and XaT3 joined the league 10 minutes apart.

In CUST-35, something similar is happening with Brooklyn Burn, owned by LUXE. Burn is winning a bunch of trades with many of the same owners. LSJET and XaT3 joined the league 6 minutes apart.

Even if this is a group of people, those teams have started getting more and more ambitious with their collusion and I think something needs to be done. Especially with those accounts picking up teams in 64 and 9.

All for the ban. If there is proof of foul play ban them.

New here, so not sure how much I should read into this but maybe you all can answer this. Just before the draft, someone takes over Dallas' team, makes a trade with another team, then leaves the league. Seems a little suspicious to me, but again I might be looking too much into it.

I don't think there's anything too fishy about that. As long as the trade wasn't horribly bad or anything. Probably just didn't wanna be in the league.

I thought it was something like that. Just wasn't sure. The trade looked pretty even to me, but then again, I'm not sure what to look for...lol Thanks.

It could be fishy, but without any further context or association between the users involved it would be difficult to prove anything.

I wasn't necessarily saying it was collusion, just was looking for other people's perspective. Wasn't sure how common it was for people to add teams then drop them quite soon after...

Interesting that all of a sudden Moscow, Correlia, Leningrad and Boston no longer have owners.

Seems to be confirmation that jsid/EollingThunder73 were on to something.
