I remember the turn that this happened as about 20-30 new ADM inductees got stuck in the top rankings. RSI bashing follows: Why do I remember this so well? I went through the entire listing of 250 or so ADM characters, checked with last turns rankings, and wrote all the new characters that got shafted down. None of my guys were affected by this, but I wrote them all down for RSI so they could double check and verify when they replaced the 20-30 guys in the right recognition slots. What happens? RSI sends my letter back and tells me it's IMPOSSIBLE to put those 20-30 misplaced characters in the right recognition slots! And the result is you, and 25 other players, get shafted due to their mistake. One line of code is all it takes to change something as simple as recognition points, yet RSI didn't even bother to fix it. I almost screamed when they told me this. (hell, I did scream and rant when they messed up when I was 10-0 in a tourney and one step away from Tourney Champ, but that's another story) Mike Lee > As a result, he lost and lost often.
