Boosting.

[Beaverboys]

I was alt-tabbed out of the game a lot this morning as I was focusing more on a mapping project than playing, so I don't remember the exact circumstances of the situation. However, I do know that you took what was said way out of context.

Mysterious and I were playing in the server by ourselves for a while and he got the idea to type +forward in console and try to gain yards by only moving his mouse. He then told me about his idea of using that command to circumvent the afk checker and let somebody boost stats. I admitted that it was an amusing idea but at no point did I actually consider doing it, nor had we been doing it before you joined. I think you joined right after he had told me about it which is why you thought that we actually had been doing it. In reality we had just been playing 1v1.

I'm not going to deny that Mysterious (Jeff Goldbluman Group Member #2) is a stat booster who I am friends with and do play 1v1 with sometimes, but people are jumping to the conclusion that he boosts my stats as well, which is absolutely not true.

The day I began to be accused of boosting was the morning after I had increased my rating by about 100 by playing 2v2/3v3 for a couple hours against a bunch of random people, including Mysterious. At no point did Mysterious ever let me score, though I did witness +M1K letting him run for touchdowns one game. I didn't take part in this and left the game before halftime. I messaged Mysterious the next day telling him to stop boosting because people were starting to think I was boosting with him. Evidently he didn't listen because his stats are rather out of the ordinary for someone of his skill level (2nd highest QB rating and rushing yards for the month)

I do tend to prefer playing when there are fewer people in the server, not for stat purposes but simply because you get a lot more touches than usual. I understand that it's easier to gain rating when playing with less people but I play nearly as often when its 8v8, as evidenced by the 25,000 plays I played in only 20 days. I'm quite often one of the first people in the server in the morning which is another reason why I tend to play with fewer people.

I do not, nor have I ever engaged in stat boosting in the AFM PUB server. My stats are the result of 25,000 plays this month and a lot of practice running the ball 1v1 in my server (you should know, as most of the time it was you I was playing with.) My stats are right in line with what to expect from somebody who has 25,000 plays this month, because they were obtained legitimately.
