Dave to the rescue
229! It takes me long enough with just one to think about.
1 Ratcliffe26 TERatcliffe26 902
2 Team Don Q enrique 887
2= Team Juliette genoveva 887
4 Team Teddy kennedy 881
4= Team Castroneves helio 881
4= Team Oceano pacifico
The irony is that it's his "A" team that are doing best...
I know. That's the only one I will recognise, rather than the other 228 teams.
Nurse, nurse...
How does it affect the forum scorums league points ?
I honestly dont know the answer hence the question.
It shouldn't as none of those extra teams are in FS I don't believe
It just covers all the bases and eventualities, and defeats the object of the game. Let's assume enrique wins all the prizes...
Then we could all put in 50 teams and the game dies.
I don't actually understand what your concern is here? If someone has multiple email addresses then he / she can have multiple teams , it's not spoiling it for anyone really .
If someone can be bothered to go to that much effort then I'll pat them on the back everytime
I agree.
So if someone can be arsed to spend hours creating 200 email accounts, then signing up to 200 fantasy accounts, then making a spreadsheet to cover all of the different permutations for team selection, then enter all those 200 teams!
Then yes fair play on the amount of time and effort they are putting in, as there is lots of work and dedication involved. But ultimately it is in order to cheat and rob everyone else of a chance of winning. The rules state that you shouldn't have multiple accounts, people have been berated for having one extra team before, and this is hundreds of teams.
People will soon be annoyed when at the top of each leader board is a 'Team ****' taking all the top spots and all of the Wiggle prizes.
So it seems like a joke to others, but really it is undermining the skill / luck of every other person playing the game that can only select 1 team.
Does anyone actually know that these accounts belong to Enrique! Beyond speculation?
It seems a really tricky thing to police, as anyone with an email address can set up an account. And the only reason these teams have been spotted is due to their similar naming convention. If they were completely random, or used a word generator then it might go under the radar.
For all we know, this sort of behaviour has probably been going on for a long time, with people having a few multiple accounts, which isn't too much of a problem, except for when there is a chance to win prizes and bikes worth thousands of pounds.
If this is Enrique doing this, then perhaps with the obvious way it has been implemented, it is an attempt to highlight the issue to everyone playing the game.
As a fix maybe we need to start adding a location address to our accounts, to avoid any duplicates. And this address will be where any prize will be sent.
+1
This situation is so not in the spirit of the game.
enrique, do the decent thing and just have one team
Where's the fun for you in knowing that you have all bases covered? Where is the fun for everyone else playing who knows that whoever they choose they are likely to be beaten by 20 of your teams?
It's pathetic.
When I agreed earlier that he deserved a pat on the back for all the effort, I didn't realize that the teams were actually competing -- I thought he'd just created a bunch of dummy teams.
I take it back.
In fact, looking at the competition archive for some of them, they've been competing all year.
And looking through the next few pages there are an awful lot more.
There is a delete account button.

And they are just the obvious ones on the first couple of pages.
Probably the only post you have ever ignored enrique.
It's not clever to have fifty teams and cover all the bases, a monkey could do that and it is spoiling it for everyone else who only have one team.
Well enrique?
It's ridiculous, and the first stage of a free-for-all whereby everyone enters loads of teams and everyone is affected.
enrique, do the decent thing and get rid of them or at the very least fill them all with 3.0s for this Tour. Not only did loads of players miss out on badges the other day, it makes a mockery of the whole thing.
Its Enrique that needs removing...PERMANENTLY.... maybe then people would use the forum again without fear of being re-quoted, mis-quoted, part- quoted and frankly being bored to death by his constant, endless, pointless drivel....
just my humble opinion....
humble lol
Dave is currently away, so nothing can be done now, however if the all originate from different email address's im not sure there is anything in the fine print that means they would need to be removed
