    Savage Storm upend Timberwolves 5-2
     
    SLAUGHTERVILLE, OK. The Savage Storm handily beat the visiting team last night, and boy was it a rough one. Credited with 23 hits, the home team spanked the Coquitlam Timberwolves on the boards and in the corners, and skated away from most of the physical play initiated by the visitors. After the first period, the Storm took a one goal lead and ground out the last two periods to a 5-2 final score.
     
    Storm defenseman Lucas Calello shared the team lead of 3 hits last night and pitched in with a helper. "It's nice to be able to contribute on the gamesheet, but I feel better about beating on those wimpy SHL wannabees." 
     
    'Wolves backup goalie Joen Berg put on a brave face after the game, having let 5 out of 35 shots get by him. "Coach let me know with 10 minutes to go that I'd be playing, and I guess I just couldn't find my angles in time." Shortly after the buzzer sounded, Berg's twitter account listed a post that read, "Hey @BergerFries -- I found you this protractor goo.gl/ZzHVZs. Luv Mum."
     
    While the Coquitlam coach was quick to get on the bus to their next game at Pinehurst -- a 1,200 mile trip -- their assistant manager, Notta H. Uman, was happy to comment on the game. "The team had some tactical difficulties offensively against our opponent's defence. The opponent's defense and goalie was superior to our team's goal scoring in today's game. The opponent's defense was superior to our team's offense in today's game. The body checking of our opponent's offense was superior to our team's defense in today's game." The guy did not shut up. "At least the team did very well tactically during powerplay against our opponent's penalty killing." Also, the Wolves did not score one powerplay goal.
     
    The Storm's coach liked their compete level. "I think that we..." The rest of his statement was boring and had five spelling errors.

    Well, less than 20 games in and I've already flirted with 15th place in my first SHL season. But after the last 10 games where we've posted a respectable 5-1-0-4 record, we sit 7th. I feel a bit better about the team, such that it is. Certainly need a few seasons to fully adapt the lineup. Just hoping to keep above the relegation line!
     
    My next challenge: the big, bad , Savage Storm. 
    *Boooooo*
     
    Will the 'Wolves make it past the early-season juggernaut, having just lost their #1 D to a week-long concussion? Will the Storm flatten the visiting team on their way to a nigh-impossible 15-1-1-1 record? Tune your radio to C-SHL900 to hear all the bone-crushing action!

    Baden, building a team from complete scratch is honestly pretty fun and a really good experience. It also makes changing tactics and building your team how you want to build it a lot easier. I joined a team that got relegated and had almost nothing left my first season and I dominated and got first place. Best of luck in regards to that!
     
    My pre-season has been quite fantastic after a crappy draft situation. I got a replacement for my first line center, signed three of my prospects, and have enough good backups to survive any injuries. I'm excited for the new season and really hoping this is the team to take me to the GHL.

    After a disappointing and humiliating relegation process, the Cherokees are adjusting to life in the IHL. The team struggled to ice a full squad by opening night, and proceeded to play as such, losing the 1st 3 contests of the new season spectacularly. Game 4 appeared to be a lost cause when, after 1 period, the team found themselves down 1-5 to the Disraeli Black Bears. The 5 goal comeback that ensued has sparked the team to a 5-0-2-2 record since dropping their 1st 3 games as the team continues to gel. The addition of some veteran role players to compliment the young core of the team seems to be paying off. Hopefully we can continue to win some games and resigning players won't be a huge issue in the offseason.

    Hey Renegades.
     
       Personally didn't report you.   
       Must say though that you did make a lot of trades, but none immediately stands-out as being dishonest.   (Didn't examine deeper values.) 
      Perhaps got reported on the quantity of trades, and amount of picks involved.  
     
      Still repeat my position:  The banning system is unfair, as it exists now. 
       Would be nice to have zero-trades with AI gameworlds, and bar-open AI-trading gameworlds. 
       Take the human judgement level out of the equation.

    GregJ reacted to Renegades in Banned?   
    All is solved now. I emailed the gameplan hockey support email linking this thread and Anders unbanned me about a day and a half after I was banned. This was my first suspension so I'm not really sure why it was going to be 5 days long, but it's fixed now for the most part. Anders said that the same IP trade (to repair the bugged trade with the Coquitlam Timberwolves) could have been part of the reason for my ban, but I apparently had several cheater votes against me way back near when I started playing (possibly from the suspicion of me joining in as 16th in the SHL and turning the team around and coming in first in the IHL the next season). None of those managers that reported me are active anymore so Anders saw no reason for me to remain banned.
     
    However, in the 2 or 3 game days that the computer took over, it re-signed a bunch of guys I wanted to get rid of (fortunately you can cancel pending contracts), messed up all of my lines, and ultimately lost me the first round of my playoffs series, although it was ridiculously close. So it was all rather unfortunate timing, but Anders is doing an amazing job with the game and I can't stress that enough.
     
    Thanks all for your involvement and support! Cheers!

    I logged into my gameplan account a couple hours ago with no problem, but then went to log in just an hour afterwards and I'm banned for supposed cheating for 5 days (10 game days). I'm mainly concerned since I'll miss the entirety of my playoffs and possibly the ability to re-sign all of my outgoing players and the draft (of which I use shortlist only but haven't prepared yet, and that I have really good picks for). In the end I'll probably just have to wait it out, but I wanted to sort of think out loud for some of the things that could have lead to my ban.
     
    1) My brother (in the GHL in Clapper) traded me a decent prospect for essentially nothing from my team for me to trade down to a team in the BHL where I took that team's worst player to give them the prospect from my brother. This was all done to repair a trade that my brother had carried out with that BHL team the season beforehand. Because of a bug (that is now fixed) the player did not get transferred to that team. This was a series of obviously imbalanced trades that also involved a conflicting IP Address, potentially causing a ban for me.
     
    2) Several imbalanced trades could have also been a cause. I've done a ton of trading these past couple of days to try to rebuild my team considerably, and quite a few of these trades were done favoring the other team to sort of sway them to carry through. This could have had an effect on my "cheater status", but none of it was done illegally or to maliciously benefit my team.
     
    3) Ending up with great draft picks could've been suspicious enough for people to report me. Whether out of jealousy or suspicion, I'm not really one to assume, but it could have been a cause. I got rid of all of my own draft picks and acquired a 1st round GHL, 2nd round GHL, 1st round SHL, and 3rd round SHL pick (after 3 of the 4 picks got bumped up from teams being promoted). One of these picks was from Anders' himself, and I was involved actively in messaging other managers to get these trades to go through and figure out what would work.
     
    In the end, I don't believe I've done anything ban-worthy and think it may just be an automatic system that locked me out. I'm not really upset so much as concerned that I'll miss the entire post-season of which I really need to be involved in. I hope something can be done, or that this at least helps others avoid "risky business" that may lead to a ban.
