This is a really lame joke

mking55 · 06-26-2004, 12:15 AM

People posted about a bug.
I posted it was still there in 6.03.
Kuffrey posts, "who's seen it" as if I didn't.
Someone else posts they've seen it it 6.03.
Henry posts "I haven't seen it".
I make a wisecrack because of the idiotic comment that implies "If I don't see it, it doesn't exist".
Kuffrey closes the thread.

Yup, another day at the office. Well done Mr. Kuffrey. Guess there is no bug. Sorry to mention it. Forget it. It's not there. I made it up. I confess. You caught me.

Maybe if you dropped the sarcasm and added something usefull(ie the situation where you are encountering the problem like henry asked) the problem can be discussed properly and the thread wont get locked?

What did you expect?

sounds to me like he already tried that, and it didn't work.

Here is the message from Steve that Martin is complaining about:

Has anyone seen this using the latest patch as this thread was started referring to patch 6.01. I've run several short and limited tests offering only the asking amount during FA and had ZERO turndowns. If you have seen this problem w/ version 6.03 let me know.

Now, don't take this the wrong way Martin, because I do like you and all. But, you REALLY flew off the handle on this one. It sounded to Steve like it happened in an older patch, and wanted to confirm it was happening with the latest patch. He wasn't dismissing your opinion just because it was you. Take a deep breath and relax. sheesh

Now don't take this the wrong way Joe, but you really don't know what you're talking about. TWO people posted (that means me and 1 other) that there was a bug and some fool posts, "I haven't seen it". So it isn't just my seeing the bug that is questioned, but someone else's too. To me it seems like just another example of refusing to accept the reality of the problems.

You too are a member of this club? Sorry to see this. Oh well.

And no, this wasn't me flying off the handle. It was just me being disgusted once more, that's all.

The only club I belong to is the common sense one. The posts before yours were referring to 2 older patches, so he was ensuring it was happening with the latest patch as well. He wasn't discounting anyone's word, nor discounting that the bug existed(there is even a post about it in the beta testing forum). It's called being thorough. Too bad you're too disgusted to see that. Oh well.

You are correct. The posts BEFORE mine referred to the situation before 6.03.

However, The post I refer to came AFTER mine from a Mr. A.J. Holz. It said, and I quote, "Also seeing this not only with in-season free agency, but also regular old in-season contract extensions, also with 6.03." Then came Mr. Kuffrey's comments.

I may be slightly insane but I can follow a thread and read the dates in them to know when something is an old post and something is a newer (after me) post.

This is pointless. I accept that 2 people reporting within minutes of each other seeing the same bug in the same version of the same game doesn't mean it exists.

Just get your last word in. I won't respond. Then this can be done.

I'll have the last word since I'm obviously the "fool".
