I see Karen on the boards. I guess she hasn't made her way over here.

Guys,

I would like to offer a little unsolicited advice that may help your cause.

First off, publicly posting an ID that shows that one of you is in middle school is probably not the most effective way to market yourself to obtain entrance into an online league. Now, I know that there are probably some middle schoolers somewhere who are mature enough to partake in the ownership of an online team (mats, for example). But on the whole, I would say that it is most definitely one of the primary reasons that you will be rejected from most leagues that you apply to.

Secondly, publicly posting AIM chat logs (which we all know is wrong anyway - LOOKING AT YOU, OBTL!!!1), particularly ones where you berate seemingly innocent league commissioners with bad insults from a good movie, is not likely to gain you many supporters or a decent reputation. Instead, perhaps you should ask yourself the poignant question, 'What would Brian Boitano do?'.

Please consider that this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, which is nothing. But I'm a people person (clarnz will vouch for me on this pointaloof), and I'm always looking for the opportunity to help a wayward soul.

Classic Hammer!

hey guys, sorrry i wasnt on the forums for a while, i had to sleep

. Anyways, i dont agree with you hammer, I think that even if people know im in middle school, They shouldnt boot me for that. They should take the time to see how good of a gm i am, and fire me if im not a good gm. I would bet that i am a better gm than most people older than me. Take a look at my toronto team for instance in the SSBl, i took a mediocre team, traded for some great players, and did it all without having to trade my 1st Rd pick in the amy draft or my top 2 propspects. This toronto team is now WS caliber. And im sure some people in the SSBl would agree with me on that.

This is the same team that is the 8th best team in the AL, right?

fanzerpaust · 01-29-2004, 11:40 AM

Yes, my team is 36-29, 4.5 games out of 1st place, but its the beginning of the season and anything can happen , Take a look at my players. last sim i went 6-3 and i think we will continue to win games.

spleen1015 · 01-29-2004, 11:47 AM

You're absolutely right.

What was I thinking?

Oh, c'mon, Champ! Don't you want to read about how homosexual I am, and what a horrible league tMBU is for kicking out a 17 year old tanks and gets booted, then berates me on AIM, and then posts the logs to his website, and THEN posts the link on the OOTP board?

Pointaloof vouched. I had just assumed this was all a big joke. That the guy is some sort of alias created just to join leagues, berate people, and then post the AIM logs of it to get a laugh out of people. If he is actually a real person, that thinks this is all normal and acceptable, I am not sure if it is funny or sad. Maybe both.
