:lol: :lol: :lol: LMAO Gross!
[i:16300842c0]I think the only way to make everybody happy, is to start over after we are done with this. Give Kojak his crown and then ban him from the next tourney. He is obviously to good. [/i:16300842c0]
Am I really that good or are you guys really just that bad?
[i:16300842c0]Has he been tested for performance enhancing drugs?[/i:16300842c0]
I'm Polish. The only performance enhancing drug I consume is vodka straight up with a kielbasy and sauerkraut sandwich...just don't get close to me while I'm doing that...
[i:16300842c0]This is supposed to be a collection of good strat managers that he is working over.[/i:16300842c0]
Rather debatable...I usually choke against good managers. I usually beat up against sandlot baseball sparring partners like you guys.
[i:16300842c0]Maybe he has come from the future to destroy us. Has anyone here met him in person? Could he be a Vampire? He may have been playing strat since Abner Doubleday helped launch the game of baseball.[/i:16300842c0]
I've been playing StratOMatic since 1989. (We would play during our lunch "hour" at work).
I've played in an 8 team face-to-face league since 1996. Yes we play with real dice and the real 20 sided die with the charts, rules, kibbitzing, beer, pretzels, arguments and trash talk. Only one "ownership" change in the 13 year history of the league. A great night out!!!
I do a lot better and draft a lot better since there is no salary cap in that league. Over the 13 seasons, let's see:
I had a losing record twice :cry: :cry: :cry:
I had a winning record but missed the playoffs once :x
I've been to the playoffs 10 times...not bad because only the top three teams of the 8 teams make the playoffs.....and I've won the league championship 7 times. :D :D :D
You can see why everyone in that league really loves me! :roll: :roll: :roll: I think they hang around as long as they have for the pleasure breaking my balls big time when I fall short.
The salary cap in the on-line game is the great equalizer. IMO, the best player out there in the on-line game outside of the ATG crowd is Play By The Rules (Doug Bickel). He is the real SOM baseball genius. His record is incredible and he has been very consistent in his excellence.
It took me a lot of trial and error, mainly error, to get competent in the on-line game. Keep fighting...keep playing...the old seasons are the best bargains and the cheapest way of refining your drafting and managing skills over time.[/quote]
