I think only about 50 people in the world play ATG....the same two dozen or so rotate into any given 200m league and the same two dozen jump in 80m leagues and about a dozen go everywhere...familiarity breeds contempt and the community is shrinking shrinking shrinking.

Saddening and maddening,

So you're telling me I'm 1 of 50 in the world that do "X". I've never been so distinguished, and I no longer feel like a number.

If only we had manager ratings so I could know where I stand compared to those other 49 people.

FUDO I'm sure your number one in the manager rankings. If you have doubts buy more teams to increase your ranking. HAL is sending you a Blue participation ribbon until they can confirm your manager rating when they restore the flawed system you want returned so badly.

Me, I'll just keep telling my wife and kids that I'm a world class Strat O Matic manager. lol :shock:

My self esteem is fine without knowing my manager rating. :oops:

Yet I'm #93 in the Barnstormers standings. I guess I would be #50 except for 25 pint penalty for reusing a ballpark grouping.

A 25-pint penalty!!! I knew I should have joined Barnstormers! Did you have to drink the 25 pints or pay for them? ;)

exception, I don't play over 120 mil. if u get screwed in the draft, the player pool is decimated. 200 mil, pure draft luck.

Gotta be more than that, just to fund the cost of keeping this site up and running. Unless all the rest of you guys are playing 15or 20 teams at a time.

Speaking of the continuing absence of manager ratings, visick posted a message near the end of an earlier thread about the lack of a Live Draft, citing everybody's favorite children's author:

visick wrote:Did he use any Dr. Seuss references?

“And this mess is so big
And so deep and so tall,
We cannot create a Live Draft
There is no way at all!”
- From Strat in the Hat


I thought that was great and came back with this:

And then there was more from Strat in the Hat:

"And manager ratings cannot be
Because they are so hard you see!
We've tracked the teams, we know the rings,
But just can't seem to count these things.
Why can't we count them? Pray, do not ask,
'While we work through this extremely intricate' task."
:D


Just wanted to share... ;)
