Must have been around the championship game/playoffs,
that would explain why we passed so much..

but i suppose it's my fault for you not knowing about my team. it only made sense to scrim other top 10 teams. data, etc.

That's actually a common misconception. Severe trauma is vastly more likely to create what is called a flashbulb memory, where it is burned into the brain as a warning for future, similar experiences. This commonly is the cause of PTSD. Repressed memories, on the other hand, are rarely found to have any discernible proof as of happening, and are usually considered false memories.

If that was the case then we would have scrimmed.

Not sure what point u are trying to make, or maybe you are still trying to be funny/cool,
hf man.

the point is as follows:

i consistently scrimmed the top 10 teams when i wanted to test something (really it was more like 5 since too many top teams didn't accept quick scrims). usually i could find whatever i wanted among that subset of teams (pass heavy, run heavy, blitz heavy defense, etc.). in addition, i would constantly send out scrims with my base ai to teams that were on the rise to see if they were real or fake (annapolis, tampa bay drunks, black ice, etc.).

early on in the season, i scrimmed your team twice to see if they were real or fake. they were fake. no possible useful data can be gleaned from scrimming an average or sub-par team so i moved on. i came back around (as i often did) to see if you had gotten any better. you had not (that was the game i linked).

i shouldn't have to explain this to you. if you want to run a tournament like this, and actually have people take part/take you semi-seriously, you should probably demonstrate some basic level of awareness.

otherwise, you just look silly.

There's actually no such thing as a flashbulb memory

So what you are telling me is... you scrimmed us early in the season, when we struggled... Sure you beat us, I wouldn't be suprised we dropped as low as the 100s in the ladder after a week or 2in the season. Congrats on beating us...

Then you beat us late in the season after we had already made our playoff gameplan specific to beating Wookies, attempting to play against their weaknesses/mitigating their strengths... Oh what? That is when you scrimmed us again and we were still "fake"?



Bitch where the hell were you when we went from 100+ to back to the top 20 in the ladder?
No where to be found....

Don't try to bitch me you pathetic mongrel,
understand you aren't shit, that's why you had to restart that pile of garbage you called Zorp.

Go ahead keep making these moronic posts trying to sound funny or cool,
at the end of the day you aren't shit, and that is why I hadn't a clue about your garbage team.

Yeah, there is. There are literally thousands of papers documenting that high stress, high emotional situations make it much easier for memories to be "burned" into the mind. The memories are not particularly more accurate than normal, but the event does get locked into the brain. See - people's memories for the day of the JFK assassination, 9/11, or their own wedding day.

There is no such thing as a photographic memory. But flashbulbs are a well covered phenomena. Please, cite a single reliable source (any major peer reviewed journal) that asserts a lack of flashbulb memories.


Also, to anyone who might complain that Professor Pottsman is being off topic in this thread - really, this thread got off topic 10 pages ago. At least my post is educating people.

Flashbulb memory used to be taught as a real thing but not anymore - I can photocopy my psych textbook for ya if you like. When they taught me that flashbulb isn't considered legitimate anymore I was surprised too because I was taught the opposite in high school

If I remember correctly the reason that "flashbulb" memories are so lasting is more of a group think effect than anything...I.e. everyone remembers 9/11 because EVERYONE was freaking out (media spearhead), not because they themselves were particularly affected or stressed by the situation
