If that isn't totally irrational then I'm not sure what is. Nobody jumps from rookie ball to the major leagues. Nobody.

Obviously the commishioner stepped in and boosted the guy so ferns wouldn't look like a total donkey. He probably stepped in a few times because Im sure he took ratings cuts at some point. Hes hitting .297/.394 /.514 now. Hes an MVP caliber player now with the commishioner cheat.

You poor thing.

As a GM you have a duty to commit your attention fully to the league and the other GM's. You have a duty to analyze the data with your full attention to come to a decision that will impact another GM that makes sense.

His decision simply didn't make any logical sense, was based on ignorance, and was completely disrespectful towards me as a fellow GM. We're here as a company of brothers in companionship that are supposed to respect each other while we compete and have fun. ferns simply didn't do that. He was selfish and ignorant. He thought only of himself and his own advantage and not what was proper to his fellow GM's and the league.

Every other GM had enough sense to pass on Cantista. I have no wish to be in a league with unprincipled GM's with no respect for anything or anyone.

Your league can rot in hell where it belongs now. I give every league a chance to become a respectful, decent league. This league simply failed in the end at that.

There, there. It'll be okay.

Fixed.

If Esovia while walking in the Forest gets hit on the head by a falling tree will his fan interest decrease?

I couldn't help but notice that you grouped the entire league together in this quote, even though some have shown you nothing but decency in the past. As one of those individuals, I am now going to respectfully ask you to go pound sand. I've grown quite tired of reading your attempts to belittle this league and the people in it.

I remember your rants when you were in the league. Heck I even sided with you and defended you several times. Now you are the one being pathetic and acting like a "hillbilly." You say you "have no wish" to be in our league. Then prove it. Go find something more distinguished to do with your time. Maybe listen to Stravinski, while enjoying a nice chianti and making love to one or all of your girlfriends. I challenge you to be the better person you claim to be.

I agree, it is quite sad. Any credit he deserves from basically saving the league (when I couldn't sim daily) he pisses down the drain with statements like that. At least I find it funny :P

I was not around when he was valuable to the league. Since I have been there, he has been worth a laugh, but nothing more. I enjoy his rants, but I am sure that the rest of the board is tired of reading about it.

Two teams are now open, the Galveston Bay Hawks and Honolulu Hammerheads. We're in the middle of the 2019 playoffs, and will be starting our 11th season soon!

bump for Monday.

Yikes...anyone?

If you are still looking for owners, I would be willing to give your league a go. From what I've read on this thread, it looks like it would be a hoot.

Awesome, please register for the forum, and I'll help you get setup.

I expressed interest in joining this league a month ago. I'd love to get in. Already registered on the board, please let me know asap!

This looks like a solid league!

JWay · 10-30-2011, 09:48 AM

I think we are full now.
