Curious and Curiouser

There is a manager who has two teams in Event 1 for the current Barnstormers 2. His name is is somwillis1. In the 100M league he is 26-13 and dominating that league. He has a team in one of the two 140M leagues where is 39-21. In both leagues he has the best run differential.

Yet mysteriously he does not appear on the BS tournament standings list for 2021. With either team!

Even more perplexing is that he has played only 4 prior teams, only one in ATG, and has amassed a stellar overall winning pct. of .412 which puts him in Kriff territory as perhaps the worst manager ever. Perhaps he was a filler player for Moose to ensure those leagues filled - that might explain him not being on the Tournament Standings List.

But nothing explains how a .412 manager suddenly becomes a .650 manager.

Im going to take a wild guess and say this is one of those managers mentioned in the thread about vets playing under different names.
No matter what anyone wants to claim, more than a few have admitted they play under other names- although to me its kind of obvious.

He does have an entry--a third team. That team is 16-23 and he has a 196 ranking. It's definitely weird.

With SOM in the guy's name I wonder if it is a SOM employee or even a bot/HAL itself.

He/She currently is playing in the 168-player Mystery tournament and is in 168th place as shown in the link.

He is in league 5 event # 2 BS 2021

He is playing 2 filler teams. He let me know which team is his "points" team before any first pitches. He likes to play filler teams to get experience. As far as I know it is just a newbie, I don't have any indications that it's a SOM employee. He also expressed "interest" in being a League 2 filler.

I am not "aware" of any SOM employee playing in Barnstormers.

moose is correct. somwillis1 is a new manager.

In the future, instead of jumping to the wrong conclusion, do some research. One way to do so is to use the Search feature. In the past few months he has become part of :

1. Mystery Tournament
2. 2000's Keeper League
3. 20XX Keeper League
4. 60's League
5. 80's Keeper League
6. 90's League
7. ATG filler

If you come across this Renaissance man in one of your leagues be sure to welcome him to the game.

Hello,

I would like the opportunity to take over Zim's team. Looking over your group comment board it's clear the comradery and support you have with each other. That's awesome. This looks like a great place to play SOM. I'm new to 365 but, I'm a life long SOM player. Thanks Guys for the opportunity......somwillis1

Thank you for the clarification Mr. Moderator and resident fact checker.

What conclusions did I jump to? I made no conclusions, just pointed out some curious anomalies and raised questions. And as far as your patronizing "do some research" comment, I am only interested in ATG and have no interest in searching through other versions of SOM 365.

And as far as SOMwillis1 goes, welcome to ATG. Looks like you will be a force to be reckoned with.
