Here's the exact post that you refuse to quote.

Edit: Just went 0-6 against the AquaSox by a combined score of 59-26. They have a better player at virtually every spot on the 25-man roster. Not sure how to compete with that. I don't think $500 would be nearly enough.

As I clearly state in my post, I was thinking about whether to spend another $500 or not.
I wasn't whining about pay-to-win. I was thinking about paying MORE to win. I was acknowledging that my team was not up to the standards of this perfect league, and thinking aloud about paying more to compete at this level. My edit was my conclusion, after adding up the cost of the cards that I would need, that I probably couldn't do it for $500 and I don't want to invest more at this time. So again thinking aloud, I decided that maybe it would be best to do nothing and see what happens. I didn't threaten to rage-quit or go crying to mommy about making the game easier for me.
My friends in this league completely understood my point. In fact, some of them were saying the same thing in the same thread because it was really a brutal league. We were also all laughing together about how hard it was and having a lot of fun. To the more open-minded people here, go read the whole thread and you will see. We were all sad to see "whale" season end.
You completely missed the point of my post, and then tried to use it to discredit me. That's a sign of a toxic community where opposing views are bullied into submission. You are the one doing it.
You also did not quote this post from later in the same thread.

Thalion's success makes me realize that my team is not out-classed in this league. There's no reason why I couldn't win it. However, there is no question that Thalion was better than me because of his management skill and not just luck. The key to success is to deploy your troops in a manner such that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Thalion did just that this year. I am impressed and better yet, I am inspired. |
As you can clearly see from this post (which was less than 24 hours after the previous post), I had decided that my team
can compete at perfect level after being inspired by someone else who had a similar roster construction. In fact, I am in a different perfect league this season, and I am in first place at the moment with virtually the same roster as last season. But that doesn't fit your narrative, does it. Someone that failed, picked themselves up, and took another run at it without hand-outs or rule changes or an easy-win button. By all means, distort the truth to fit your own agenda. It's done all the time these days.
Go ahead now... tell me to shut up like you always do. I will make you a deal. You don't mention me again in this thread and I won't post again in this thread. You can have the whine field all to yourself. But you won't be able to resist because all you want to do here is argue and have people feel sorry for you.
