DMaximus 1,046 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 3 minutes ago, Beketov said: Of note simming isn’t something we can just hand anyone. Doing it involves having access to every league file from every season in the server AND all the backups. 4 keystrokes could delete the entire league. So yes, we can look at the process but there are reasons I don’t care for the “just hire someone willing” argument because there is a lot of trust involved. I'm sure there can be permissions set to prevent that from happening. And if there's not more than 3 or 4 people who can be trusted in this league, then we have some larger issues already.

Just pointing that out that the usual “anyone can do this” argument doesn’t hold a ton of weight as far as trust is concerned.

mediocrepony 1,216 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Gorlab, you left out all the stuff about teams, overall point fluctuation throughout the league and such. As someone already said, he was 2,4,1 in points in S75, S74 and S73. You only looked at Lahtinen's points. now, i realize that other people have already said that, but I just want to make it clear too. Also, this is an internet hockey league. i feel like, yes, even if bek did rig it, why? sure, lead the league in points or whatever, and I know nothing about STHS or how long it takes, but other people have already said how long it would take to resim to get a good sim, so I would rather let STHS take it's course than spend a bunch of time to have maybe 1-2 points more per sim. About streaming, i think it should be optional. I understand the appeal to some people, to make sure no one is/was cheating but it seems like a bit of a hassle to people.

Also I'm now having an early life crisis that we consider late 20s and early 30s to be old men, but I digress.

Doomsday 4,130 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 There's a phrase I'm surprised I haven't seen used yet here: Correlation is not causation. It is data that draws a logical conclusuon, but logical is not always sound. As many before have mentioned, there are a lot of variables season to season that affect a player's production. Precisely zero of that was taken into account here, and when you combine that with the credibility of a member like Beketov, it's an argument that ultimately falls flat on its face. Live sims aren't a terrible idea, although for me, it's not for transparency, it's for the protection of the simmer. There's a lot of work that goes into that job, and it's often thankless. Add accusations like this, and it's even worse. Live sims would certainly add more work, but I believe that protecting those hard-working members from being dragged like this would make it worth it.

LilHCorny 55 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Here’s how I see it. Let’s just live sim. If you don’t want to live sim than you shouldn’t be simming. I’m not here to question anyone’s integrity but ending this argument is as simple as live simming. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem and everyone needs to stop acting like petty kindergarteners who can’t agree on anything. Live simming doesn’t sound hard and if you can’t make four clicks, then I don’t know how you can even sim. Nobody’s integrity will be questioned with live simming, if it’s streamed and people can see that there is integrity. People declining to live sim just makes people question what is going on and they deserve transparency. So give it to them. Then we can all stop with the freaking drama.

Shaka 228 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 You know, now that I think of it, Cal Conway has been trash in 100% of @Beketov seasons. Check this: Another Player Conway That's a huge difference in save percentage and goals against between me and another player when Bek simmed. And to make it worse, I went 0-6 this season with Beketov simming after winning 42% of my starts in my CAREER. HUGE falloff.

gorlab 4,321 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 For anyone who thinks I made this thread to 'drag' Beketov. That is not the goal or aim. I'm not saying he's cheating (well, I am because I personally believe he is, but obviously have no 100% way to prove this) but the intent of the thread is to change how we do things so questions/accusations like this can't arise. Thanks for everyone who's been supportive of adopting a change. Everyone else, meet me in the discord. Im hungry for another temp mute.

Regardless of the OP there needs to be a change. we all agree on that I think. but when people are giving legitimate ideas all we get back is "we dont trust" or "old people = busy/cant" and none of those are helpful to trying to ease this situation. it comes off as deflecting. I get it wont happen right away but a simple "hey we are taking the ideas to heart" instead of pushing them off might go a long way. that's all I'm coming from.
