Guest Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 What if their fighters deserved the girl fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think it should be frowned upon for any reason other than filling out a card or if they want to test a young fighter against an alliance mates or buddies fighter. I generally try to avoid orgs where the org owner has a champion there or alliancemates have the majority of titles. There is just too much of a grey area to be manipulated while not overtly cheating. I think it's just better to not be a part of orgs like that. When I am in an org and get offered the owners fighters I generally accept but after that contracts up I'm gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 It is true that there are dishonest org owners who start an org as a vanity project for their own fighters, but more often than not, I think it is simply an experienced vs inexperienced thing. When I first started an org, I had three of my own fighters in the org who were among the best fighters in the org. I was paranoid about going bankrupt and losing my VIP, so I wanted every fighter I could get my hands on. I think that my org was run completely fairly and I got 99% positive feedback from the members. I'm now thinking about starting an org again and I definitely won't use my own fighters again (except for one-off speciality fights, and never for a title). I have the experience and the money to not need them. However, I'll give the benefit of the doubt (but perhaps examine things a little closer) when I see an org owner's fighters in an org.

warlord Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I was once a matchmaker for an org before and i have one fighter on that. Just to avoid the doubt of can crushing my sole purpose to him is i use him as a replacement if no one wants to fight a certain fighter or just a filler for his division.

Guest Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Now I think about it. I was about to join one where a guy has his fighter as a champ. Kinda reconsidering it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Back when I started Reach (ProudFC at the time) I had a few of my fighters in it. I followed the pretend like they're not your fighters when doing my matchmaking and actually gave them, arguably, harder fights than others just so I wouldn't be accused of cherry picking. As was also stated once my roster filled out I slowly released them as I do think it isn't the best idea to have your own fighters in your promotion once it's a little more established. Looking at the name of that org being linked here I can't say I'm surprised there's fishiness involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't want to blame the org I'm talking about for the devious stuff but having your fighter a champ is a bit suspicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefframrod Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 nah, i think i am too useless. I usually forget to train or change their clothes, let alone sit to bother with sliders I'm getting that way as well now. Signed up for a creation tournament with 3 weeks training and have missed about 6 sessions so far, gonna get my ass kicked I reckon! Always forget to set training now, I do a "clear all" on Sunday then run out of time so just set my Monday am sessions then forget to go back to it and it gets to Thursday and I'm wondering why all my guys are at 100% energy!

tp61503 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 i have a guy that is a champ in Heroic, but i was using him to fill a weak division as a small tourney to crown the new champ, i didnt want to win and didnt think i would ended up winning go figure. Anyway it wasnt intended and hopefully he losses soon lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Some odd reason I've always wanted a fighter in Heroic but not of mind to embarrass myself anymore than I already do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK16 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Talking about the O.P. Ive never had my own fighters in an org while ive been a part of the org. I had a guy in Troid before and when he left, I became a member of the staff there. My personal opinion is that your own fighters are good at the start for short term boosts, but after a few events, I would stop using them if your rosters started growing. People get annoyed seeing other peoples fighters in the orgs and think that they could be given an unfair match up against one of them.

Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 http://www.mmatycoon.com/orgpublic.php?oid=4053 Funny this org with no id restrictions turned my 185er down saying my guy was to good to fight there. Hmm who is the champ here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't see an issue with it. I've been in several orgs where the owners signed their own fighters and they've all been good orgs. I've won something like 80% of my fights against K Rad's fighters and I think almost all were in his org.If it's obvious that the owner has the best fighters and is just trying to pad his record, I'd avoid it, but other than that it's fine.

Scooby Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Since this thread began, I have stopped fighting my fighters in my own org aside from the ones in creation tournaments.... My fighter is 5-4 in my org and has been fighting opponents better than him and was never going to get a title shot, but i dont want good managers avoiding my org because they see a name on my roster that belongs to me. But, i dont really see how competing in your own creation tourney could be unfair... many people do it. I am just against people using their fighters for title bouts and fight fixing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 It just depends how that org is ran. I think I run mine as fair as I can but I did sign one of my guys to test his hiddens. But clearly some orgs do it to pad their fighters against cans. I was going to sign to an org but the 185lb champ was his guy and I was told I'm too good to be in that org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleakardor Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I know this is an old topic, but I came across it and wanted to make sure I wasn't messing up. I bought an Org about 2 weeks ago with a decent number of fighters for starting up, but many were inactive so I started cleaning house. I did give 3 of my new creation fighters contracts in my lesser populated divisions 2 fight contracts just to help me get by in the beginning. I keep an updated ranking list after each event, and my fighters are not even close to being in contention for the belt. Now I didn't see a problem with this until reading this and now I'm a bit worried. I never even thought about the ability to cheat, and I don't want anyone to think that's even a possibility, so I will be removing my fighters after their contracts expire to ensure this doesn't happen. I guess my question is... should I just remove them now and not let their contracts play out? Of the three I put in, one hasn't fought yet (he was made for the tourney from Mike) and the other 2 each have 1 fight left. I have not been accused of cheating as I've only used my guys to fill fights at the last second, but if this is something that is still so frowned upon, I sure as heck don't want to get a bad rep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I do the same thing mate so I wouldn't sweat it. It's almost a necessity especially in ID restricted orgs when it starts to get harder to sign talent within the ID range. Generally my guys are there to face hard to match fighters (0-0 fighters who have no hype but have been training in their private gyms for a million years) and fighters that haven't had a fight in a while and no other potential match ups. 9 times out of 10 these are instant losses so not a great plan if you are concerned with becoming #1 manager in the game or picking up good free agents. I've moved fighters out of my orgs if they get too good and I want to use them without fear of what you are describing but I've also given them title fights too. It really comes down to whether you think you are experienced enough to know what a fair fight is. You can never please everyone anyway but if you err on the side of caution you'll be fine. Best of luck with your org! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HareRumpler Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Besides, these days how would you even have any confidence anyway that an org isn't being run by somebody who has multi's with fighters in the org. It's my general feel that a good many of the orgs and companies run in the game at this point are flat out multi-run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodtymes31 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I've done it as well too. As long as you are offering fair fights, and the org is well run, noone will say anything. I even take the extra step of making sure that when I offer someone a fight against one of my guys, that I let them know it's me they would be fighting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur.Camara Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Like the consensus , I do this too but avoid holding any belts. As long as you offer yourself fair fights then you will be good but ultimately I move them to the other orgs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
