Wasted Challenges GRRR!!

Created my latest gremlin on the 7th, and made sure that all my challenges went to gremlins that had had at least one fight. Well, I`ve still got FOUR of those challenges outstanding, and the really annoying thing is, I reckon they`re all the SAME PERSON >:( .

Look at this league search - I`ve got challenges out with cols, cols2, colssd and the cozzer, they`ve only played one match each, and it`s with one of the others.

Yes, I know there`s nothing in the rules against multiple accounts, but if you`re going to go the the effort to create them, MAKE SURE YOU USE THEM >:(


*Edit* Just noticed, there`s a `cozzer` near the top of the league (who likes "nothing", just like the others) and that gremlin is fighting. Come on mate, if you can`t be bothered to manage 5 gremlins, then do the decent thing and terminate them (Please?).

HAD ANOTHER LOOK, NOW I`M REALLY ANNOYED, THOSE 4 GREMLINS DIDN`T FIGHT EACH OTHER, THEY ALL FOUGHT `COZZER` (AND LOST). OK, SO IT`S NOT AGAINST THE RULES, BUT IT BLOODY WELL OUGHT TO BE >:( >:(

The activity bar is often a good guide, if its all white, dont challenge.

Don`t mean to take my anger out on you RJS (but you`re the nearest target), but I DO KNOW THAT !

It was my first day of my newest gremlin (my 4th one), and I spent ages checking out all the gremlins, making sure they were active, but as they were nearly all babies too, as long as they`d had one fight that day, I reckoned it would be OK to challenge them. It`s just that this `cozzer` has 5 gremlins and isn`t playing them.

Rant over :)

Hello, I would like to apologise for my bad sportmanship in making new gremlins to gain extra points. I have now terminated all but one of the useless gremlins and have also terminated the one that was doing well as this would not have been fair if the gremlin gained a significant score.

If an administrator reads this thread i would ask them to also remove the Gremlin called Fredrik owned by user cols. I have lost my password and when trying to send a new one my E-mail is not receiving it.

Again i am very sorry :( and hope i can be forgiven. :(

Well, I might have forgiven you if you`d accepted my challenges BEFORE you terminated the gremlins. >:(




No, only joking, you`re forgiven (by me, anyway, can`t say the same about the mods ;) ).

Well I think this is totally unacceptable, cozzer has cheated not just once but several times to gain an undeserved advantage.

Never in a million years would I forgive this! :D

it is a point wel made that as a new gremlin you have to have some challenges on ones that have mostly white bars, I have three outstanding challenges with various coz* gremlins from my first day that also went unchallanged.

I have started also looking at the gremlin profile,,,,if it is old but not progressed very far it could mean that they are not all that active.

Reviewer perhaps a cut off for gremlins that have not been "active" for a week could be culled, or those that are brought into being and then left because the owners lost interest.

Just as a note perhaps that might also be emailed to get psyciatric help.

I have to say that if cozzer had only been slightly more imaginative about his user names (and the fact that they all liked and disliked "nothing"), whilst I still would have been annoyed about the wasted challenges, I doubt I would have spotted the cheating!
