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.


Very well said, I am in 21, If they are guilty, JDB should reverse all those trades and remove the offenders.
There seems to be overwhelming evidence.

Wouldn't hold your breath, I found 2 players with over 20 teams in identical leagues and often made 'gentleman's agreement' trades, I submitted what I found but nothing happened.

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


After investigation I found evidence that those accounts were violating TOS and removed the offending accounts.

I didn't take the time to evaluate the trades themselves but if you feel there should be trades made by those accounts that should be reversed please post a link to the trades here.

Nice work guys! The one thing I am disheartened at is, if jsid and EollingThunder73 can sniff out collusion like this, how am I going to sneak the "Statue of Liberty" play by them during game time. They will sniff it out immediately...if it were in my playbook!

Joking aside, I really have enjoyed this game the two months I have played and appreciate the above mentioned (and others) that have given their expertise so freely and have stood up for the integrity of the game. Everyone may not agree on every issue, but the passion is great!

I only want to revert any trades that have a negative impact on the league. If the trades seemed reasonable I will leave them as they are.

IMO these are the three biggest ones, especially with new owners to be taking over the team and high draft picks being involved.

1) https://cust21.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/529?page=1#750
2) https://cust35.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/506?page=1#1058
3) https://cust35.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/507?page=1#1065

Also, were LUXE and SEAMONSTER not found of being part of that group of multi's? LUXE is the owner benefiting from all the bad trades in 35.

Furthormore, there's already more suspicious activity in CUST-35 as three users just joined the newly vacated teams in CUST-35 minutes apart from each other:
ATOMEP - Joined MFN 1/13/17
AFTER - Joined MFN 1/13/17
REQTY - Joined MFN 1/13/17
None of them have ever owned a team before today and they're all just over the one month no-trade threshold.

Thanks for the quick and appropriate response so far JDB!

I have a question while this topic is here. I love this game a lot, and might get my brother into it. Is there a rule against multiple users in the same ip address or something? Obviously if outrageous trades were made it'd be an issue but what about if we were just regular owners?

There are roommates and family members that play the game. There's no rule against multiple owners from one IP, but you may be restricted from trading.

No one would have any problem with you guys playing together, especially if you are transparent about it, and especially if you aren't making garbage trades with each other.

Hope you recruit him to the game. It's quality owners that make this game so fun!

i just hope those 3 characters arent the same people who were doing this collusion or else we are going to be right back to square one with this problem and it is going to stink to high heaven.

actually if you have the same IP address you cant trade with one another.

reason this is a big deal is really it seems or seemed like someone or some people were making trades to make a super team or that they were making trades that no one in the right mind would ever make (yes you can even go say people who have history of bad trades on this site and that are still here would NEVER make those trades.)

And really the intergety of the league is at risk especially if a trade so much favors one team that it is comical for the trade to happen or go thru.

i just think if you just take one thing from this thread is look at what those people or person did in their trades and not make trades that they did. (In other words learn from their mistake so you dont do it and hopefully no one will say anything about your trades if you do trades that make sense and are not like trades these people did)
