no doubt there is nothing in the rules against doing this, but i never noticed another player doing it in years of playing and i wouldnt plan on doing it myself. i watch my friends games and my own and that is it. to me it is kind of lame to support in the way this guy is doing.

so annoyed was i that he was acting this way, i changed the time of one of my home games last night to 3.30 am as i was playing the team in 3rd place and i wanted to see if the 2nd placed guy would turn up. he is french ( maybe explains a lot! ) which would mean him getting up at 4.30 am to watch my game. well when i checked the results just now, he had indeed got up in the middle of the night to support the 3rd place team against me.

Not only do i question the ethics of his action, but I'm wondering if he has a screw loose to get up at 4.30 to watch a 5 minute game in the hope i will lose or drop points. lets face it, results can be erratic in this game and if i had only got a draw does he really think his 2% would be what made the difference? i really doubt a 2% in possession is going to have effect on a result, as if the game is going to troll your team then there isnt much you can do, but who knows what effect a rogue supporter can have. perhaps it can do more than add 2% to possession.

so to my mind he is being annoying. plus, ITS A GAME , does he have no life if he lets a game based largely on luck or RNG affect his sleeping / life, going out of his way to support teams who play me. i realize some people do take games over seriously, but its a facebook game FFS. will he be so mortally wounded to finish 2nd instead of 1st. 5 minutes after the season is over it is forgotten.

has anyone else experienced that kind of desperate player in their league before? to me its a lame way to play this kind of game, no class.
. just play your own game french dude, and whoever wins..wins. dont do sneaky stuff, it is kind of cowardly in my opinion
he could have been getting up early etc anyway. stop winding yourself up worrying about what other people do and why they do it. you dont know the guy, waste of energy speculating why a human being you dont know is doing certain things.
