Live Q&A with Bernie, 3/17/06 (transcript)

[steal third]

Bernie: It's geat that you took the time.

I don't want to see the dice rolls....I think it ruins the mystery card concept!

[RAYMONDSTRAWN]

I have one thing to say, Bernie, despite everything I have ever said before, I am impressed. Well done. Chat was good. I see why everyone likes what you do because you do a great job. I say that as one who use to be a major critic (thankfully you never read those threads).

I am not one hundred percent happy, except with my wife who also plays TSN strato and does better than me. I am 99% happy. I wish the game was released before my PBM drafts.. :) but that is just a strato nut being greedy. I am greedy cause you got best strato site and data out there. I payed more from others but love your system best.

And you are right on with the relievers.

I know you won't answer these questions, but I do not understand why carrasco and heilmann lost their starter rating in your version versus the game company version. I have gotten over it, though, and will live with it. After reading your chat transcript, I am sure you had good reasons. But since you can change ratings, you should have made Chris Duffy a CF-1. Everybody I know agrees he should have gotten the one. Since strato ratings are not sacred to you, how about fixing some of those fielding ratings strato game company makes mistakes on. Don't answer that, the pticher cards are based on those team player defensive ratings. Okay, defense ratings are sacred, and we are NOT trying to replay MLB teams so White Sox win. We are having much much fun doing so.

I am having tons of fun playing TSN strato and I love it. I might moan and groan about the 1% but bottom line, this is great and you do a great job. But I speak about the 1% because I love strat. I have seen it disappear from TSN.. I loved TSN strato football and now it is :cry: gone. :cry:

Keep those eyes on the marketing numbers and do consider the possible increase customer base from PBM guys with a March first release next year, before the drafts. And the free spreadsheet, lose it. These guys steal it.

Hey Bernie, your'e doing such a great job here, ever think of bringing back football.

RE the dice rolls, make it optional. Many here (including me) are curious and would like to see.

Obviously it would ruin the mystery card games (which in my cynical opinion is not really a bad thing...)

Thanks Bern.
