So I'm watching this black box game between ***** and ****** these guys are using collusion to level up their players, and i'm like, damn is this what you guys do?

I come here to watch the best blood bowl coaches in the world to learn from and this was pretty low something I was not expecting.

Anyway I took a picture and recorded some of it if anyones interested.

vejeta187 - submit a ticket don't name and shame

furthermore it looks like one opponent gave up on the game at half time when their offensive drive failed. That's not collusion that's sour grapes.

also, watch tourneys not some random box game if you want to watch good coaches pulling out all the stops.

Send a PM to an admin but don't name & shame coaches on forums, it's forbidden.

Spectate Legend coaches in Black Box, generally they are worth the watch.

Hehe, that's certainly an opinion but I've come around to thinking that 2 coaches in Ranked are just as capable of selecting a competitive match in good faith as whatever Bowlbot spits out. Box has more metagaming going on with team builds and roster activations to be 'competitive' - the coaches in Box aggregate aren't more talented or skilled at the game, some contingent of coaches are simply more adept at tuning their teams for the atmosphere.

If I can get to Box Legend for a time period only activating only my best teams, the status doesn't mean much.

Wow, over re-act much Question
Not the best way to introduce yourself to our community... Rolling Eyes
Next time it's best, as others have said already, to make sure you understand what you are reporting & not to do it publicly.

Hat tip to ArrestedDevelopment on this insight.

Watch coaches on either of the below lists in tourneys. Anyone below 19 on either list isn't worth watching Wink

I always try to make side Gentlemans agreements in the Box, but no one sticks to them. Every takes the agreement and then like a lout, breaks said agreement. It's very ungentlemanly of them. I think I'm the only gentleman left in the Box these days. Sad

I saw one game replay that ended 6-0, the receiving side would just sit there without picking up the ball, while the kicking team would run in, pick up the ball and score. To be honest, I don't see that kind of garbage very often. Thankfully most of the games I spectate the teams are legitimately competing against each other.

If you see that, Gozer, you should definitely report it. That sort of behaviour is very much against the site rules and, if they are caught, those coaches will get banned.
