Yeah unfortunately simmers aren't robots (well, one is, but it's broken) so we don't get to decide how long the offseasons are.
You know the long offseason has got nothing to do with the Spartans or anyone other than Heef. Stop trolling, all of you. It's petty.
But 15k posts which should arguably not have counted. Makes a huge difference tbh. And I'm sure that 27k will come down once I've given the data a thorough review.
It won't impact your lifetime sim post count, but would impact your current season post counts. I haven't bothered looking at it as it was never the intention for it to be implemented this season.
Arguably should not have counted is a bit of a steep statement IMO. We weren't breaking any rules, it was fair game for them to count until it got to this point, IMO.
I don't post much in the CW threads tbf. Anyway, my post count has reduced by about 40, Howe's by 200, Hurricane by 300 yours by 350, GIMPs by 800, Hedger's by 550, Brumby by 300, Force by about 10, Quaggas by 100, Cribb by 500, Dan by 300, Athers by 150 etc. etc. GIMP's weighted post rank decreases substantially as well as it impacting more heavily on those at the lower end. Tbf, Howe is still ranked the same without those 200 posts.
So basically, after training so, so hard (read: desperately needing a life), all the 'good' work I've done has been undone? Oh well, time to build it up more fairly.
