He absolutely should expect that he does not have a good standing amongst a huge percentage of the userbase, by his own choice, and thus should not be able to trust his coordinators very far. You go around harassing everyone you see on the street, you can't really be surprised when someone you think is your buddy decides to kick you in the balls over it. Doesn't mean I think someone should get kicked in the balls, but you can't claim "he had no reason to suspect this." He made enough reasons to suspect EVERYONE, and if he didn't, he's an idiot.

That line of reasoning is simply retarded. Honestly man, I'm disappointed that you would actually think that because it's so absurd. Being a dick doesn't mean you deserve it if someone screws you.

No, it doesn't. If Pete Rose intentionally screwed his team for gambling profits, that wasn't the fault of the guy who hired him. People have to take responsibility for their own actions, and people like you need to stop making ridiculous excuses. If someone has a coordinating gig, it's their obligation to handle it and avoid errors. Screw-ups happen, and I've had my fair share, but I don't blame the team owner when I do something wrong. I'd have to be an idiot and a coward to do that.

Not according to you. By your reasoning, it was the government's responsibility to make sure those banks weren't doing anything risky, and their failures would then be the government's fault. That's the kind of nonsense you're claiming.

He has been more than just a dick - he has screwed people over in this game as well, most notably rotting players - you are treating him as if his only fault is that he is a forum troll, which he is, but he has done more than that

About sums it up.

How many times do I have to explain that I don't care? Nobody deserves to be screwed against their will, no matter their personality, no matter their actions, and no matter how hot they look in that mini-skirt.


And just to be clear, I think the most likely culprit in this scenario is that someone accidentally screwed up the DAI. But I'm saying that if it was done on purpose, it's ridiculous to blame dpride, that it's ok because it happened to him, or that he somehow should have seen it coming.

It is pretty comical that everyone is piling on saying blaze doesn't belong here and they didn't earn it. After talking with Dpride I get the feeling somebody with blaze DC access allows others to log into their account.

Blaze is a top 5-10 team in glb and they belong here, if they don't get a spot they will merge with another top 5 team and this forum is going to be pretty lulzy. Either way stay tuned

Did we ever figure out what happened to Buda that one season? I always figured what you described is what happened or someone thought they were adjusting a different team's AI but was on Buda's instead and didn't recognize. I guess i didn't realize how many users shared passwords though. Blows for sure since i think it is obvious that blaze would do better than atkm. Too bad bort can't resim

Though in the future, someone might want to change someone's offense instead of the defense to prevent explosive offenses from almost winning anyways


Blaze-Paris merger coming shortly i'd imagine. Blaze provides the good dots. Paris provides the good posting

Most people realize it was an AI screw-up - like the Spike Spike Spike thing that happened to NBA Jam in the playoffs a few seasons back

and I understand the whole 2 wrongs don't make a right argument - I was just referring to your comment that just cuz he's a dick he doesn't deserve this - he's been more than a dick - he's had a team taken from him, he's rotted players, had the +10-gate on accounts he was/wasn't monitoring, etc.

we're you as supporting of the people who spent money here on players he rotted as you are of him now? (although it's highly unlikely you would know any specifics of that - my point is he is far worse than just the best forum troll here)

The best team does not always win in a 1 and done format

Blaze are not the only team that lost that may have been the best team in their league

happens in real life too - see the 07 Patriots and the parody thread in GLB main on that one

Just because Pete Rose fucks the Reds for his gambling addiction doesn't mean MLB should give the Reds a free pass into the playoffs that season, either, which is what you're advocating essentially. Marge Schott was a raging bitch and a lunatic, but her problems with MLB had nothing to do with having Rose as a manager and a lot more to do with her racism, for starters.

The coordinator should be held accountable - but GLB doesn't owe Blaze anything, and they don't need to bend the rules to put Blaze into the WL. I fail to see how putting Blaze in the WL "holds the coordinator responsible", unless you're pulling a team the coordinator owns to make room for the Blaze in the WL. I haven't heard that proposed, though, just to give them a spot.
