LC Bears :
So to CLEAR the air and really put this thread into perspective I've never been afraid to man up on here and admit when I am wrong, as you can attest, Jimbo. So, that was my idea to pitch the draw with Brian, even though he apologized, this one is all on me. The way that I look at it, and always will, I take care of my own. He is a guild mate and I will have his back if he or I needs a little help. And this is the first time you've had to call me out on this thread, and the numbers are decreasing I see each day, along with many legends in the game at a alarming rate. With that being said, if I'm at a pub and come out of the bathroom and my mates are in a bar room brawl I'm not going to start asking questions of what or who started it, I'm just going to start throwing haymakers at the biggest fucker, because you drop him and the rest usually scatter. Blame that ONE draw on me!
Now, talking about draws, is it our fault that the game issues 2 points for them? No, but like MB, and leaping in rankings, and jacking up cost of players in auction, playing players when they are offline ect ect. There are many fine lines between moral fortitude, this being one of many. So, let me pressent this to you: not going to name names but both have their names peppered ALL over this post, and these are facts because I witnessed both. One, a guild mate that doesn't believe in draws because of his moral compass, so I suggest playing with offline strats, no subs, and let the better team win. Sounds fair, right?! Especially since these games start at 3am my time I thought this was a fair solution. I wake up to see not only did I lose the match, but he subbed. A guild mate mind you, wait, ex-guild mate. His explanation: it was my fault I wasn't awake and not on. No wonder he is an EX guild member with that explanation. Where's the fairness? Where's the morals? Where are his standards? Calling the kettle black.
Finally, and this one is very very close to home here JImbo, because it happened when I was in IFC. A member needed a win the last game in the season against a fellow guild mate that wasn't in any contention of advancing and said person wanted him to throw the game so he could get the single promotion. Is this right? Does this go along with this post, even though not an obvious thrown game? I say YES! So, who's to judge whom? The solution, like I have stated on thread #1, lower that draw to .05 points and solution solved.
Let's be honest, this game has never been about fairness. At one point there was unlimited subs. There was 100% MB. You could cheat the game out of not paying your salaries, and many took advatage of all of these. Me included. So, in one form or another we have all done this. Let's not judge and gloat before we all take a good, long, hard look in the mirror before we pass judgement.
Peace out
Your correct about a member of ifc saying he'd give a win to another to help him out. However you are not aware that I sent a pm to both telling them that we didn't do that in ifc and to play properly. They did, three different rh and myself analysed the game afterwards to make sure and it was played properly.
You should know I don't stand for that Sean....
