[quote:7a236ec35e="1crazycanuk"][quote:7a236ec35e="JimKomurek"]in the business of owning a business and being in the business of being a nice guy, every time you offer something to somebody instead of just saying thanks, they ask for 2006 games or they say they have too many credits, or they refer to offer as chump change.
So Predictable.

Got a problem with that :?:
As for the saying thanks...would you ever let someone take a product from your business without paying but only "saying thanks"? I doubt it. What's wrong with asking for 2006? How many people referred to the offer as "chump change"? Your post is very good...at generalizing.[/quote:7a236ec35e]
Hey Hockey Puck,
No problems here, just opinions. In America, we have this concept called "humor." You see in my previous post I refered to the discount as "chump change." Then in the very next post, I criticized those who refer to the discount as "chump change." See the irony? I was criticizing myself, I am a hypocrite !! Isn't that funny?.....No it's not, now that I had to explain this to you. Hey, none of us in the USA know who your Prime Minister is, but you guys are bit thick up north. (and who cares who the PM is)
But I digress. After second thought, I always thought Strat-TSN were a bit on the cheapskate side. I thought that after winning a championship in March, you can't take those both those winning credits earned and move them into the next season. Why not, I have no interest in old cards, when the new ones come out. But as for the special discount, I agree that is should be just for this season. Why? Because we can purchase as much as we want before March 3. All you can eat? Very generous, only made financially possible by limiting them to 05.
But I got over it (championship credits) fast. Why? Because I'm rich. Let me check my wallet...60 dollars (=258 canadian pesos), yep I'm rich. I don't care about the pricing, the discounts, the rules. I just want to play my favorite childhood game, Stat-O-Matic. Being an adult, I don't got the time (yet the time to talk you?) to play dice Strat, and it such a pleasure that for 15 minutes a day, I can play 3 games a day in an organized league with 11 other people who like baseball. Brilliant! I say take that discount, and put it into research and development, so we can improve this already awesome game. (starting with HAL/Tony Larussas bullpen)
