And Pete, alot of owners really seem to care...you would be surprised how freaked out people get with even a scrimmage loss.


You guys were ranked #1 I thought? Avenger?...hold on...

Nope, not lame, some teams may not want to show there cards and its their right to do so. Teams like Atlantis and Vamps have EVERY right to be ranked among the best of the best. lolscrim is just that, lolscrim. Unless its tourny play there is no reason to discriminate those who choose not to accept a scrimmage game imo.

I never said scrimmages don't mean anything. You were ranked #2 because it was a preseason game in "season 14". Based on that it was our tie breaker.

Dude, what? I'm guessing b/c of the preseason loss or something?

I'm defending teams that feel that a scrimmage is not needed to prove anything other then to test tactics. Why you are going balls out calling out teams that just want their league play and preseason is a bigger issue. Your in attack mode and i'm neutralizing that ration of thought by calling it lolscrim, nothing more, nothing less.

So preseason losses count? But scrimmages don't? How can a tournament have a tie-breaker? I think the Spitfires had more points in the tie-breaker then lets say the Dots since the Dots weren't in it for some reason last year.

Whatever, its fine...we will do what we can to try and keep our trophy from the #2 seed. I don't want to come off as negative, but it's like my team is on the clock, and i would like to get in as many good games as we can before Day 500 hits.

But everybody here has there own problems, so again good luck to you all, and thanks for setting up all these Tourney's and other additions to make GLB a little more fun.

I went by strength of roster "at the time" and whatever preseason results were to sort 32 teams by day 0. It happened that you guys were still recruiting and did not have a true QB yet and you loss a preseason game that both of us took seriously. Even if we were both trying a few new things all was equal at the time. After that it was pretty much how i had to rank everyone on down. As for your teams age, no one is stopping you at all from trading 5-6 players in the 500 day old range and getting better but younger as this season goes on and not worse. Its something to plan for, the future, and its a very serious strategy for winning beyond the very first season of a real competitive Casual league.

You just gave advice to McDuffy, about building a winner? The owner of the most dominant casual team ever so far? No, the Dots have not equaled their run yet either, so don't say it, and while Dots & Armageddon were trying to catch up to McDuffy, he never EVER said no to a scrim like you have.

Do not justify this one dude, it's not fair and doesnt' look good. Just state your real reasons why, IF you wish too, or just say you don't care what anyone thinks and leave it at that, but do not insult him or the rest of us with stuff like that.

And to this, you guys know my temper regarding teams that duck challengers, I didn't realize that this was the case for Dots & Spits again.

Um, what?

My reasoning is 1000% the exact same reason you ranked us DOTS #1 in Pro in your initial rankings too!

Yes, true, but I didn't know that Spits were asking for a real match with you either as seems to be the case. I honestly understood your decision last season, this one I don't, if you want to be top dog, then play them.

I really truly am confused, if McDuffy is offering a scrim, a legit let's throw down scrim, there is no good reason not to take it. Iknow when you were trying to figure out how to beat them and me, none of us EVER turned you down.

How do you know all this?

There's lots of time to scrim, there's also a tourny too. If i choose to do it later then thats my perogative?

Rankings and scrims mean absolutely nothing it's just a sort of fun thing to have imo. I would rather be ranked dead last but win a championship because thats the only thing that matters. Don't get me wrong I appreciate you guys doing the rankings and they are fun to look at but for all the teams here there is really only 1 goal.

Yeah, this kind of thing is not needed, my team appreciates your thoughts for trades and what Pre-Season games we do or do not take seriously. I would say just accept my scrimmage offer and win...which based on "strength of roster" should not be a problem for the Mighty Dots.

If not you can simply wait and see what happens in the tourney, if i can get to you guys. Or maybe around Day 40 if i can get out of the West.

As for G-Man, i was told to contact him in regards to invisible scrimmages. As for this kind of thing setting him off...i guess that's just his perogative
