LOLB comes out every time you go into coverages that require a third corner. To LOLB gets less snaps in general.

yeah, we figured it had to do with the nickle but were trying to come up with a good way to still get him snaps

The Dungeoneers rotate lower level folks in to our starting line up with the specific intent of disrespecting other teams. We have an entire series of sticky threads on our forum entitled "How to disrespect XXXX" where XXXX is the name of our next opponent. We stay online for hours and hours talking about the best ways to make us seem pompous, arrogant and generally unlikable. We're currently working on a way to not only play backups, but to also have our starters sleep with the other team's cheerleaders. We'll let you know when this gets worked out.



ha, you arent doing so well. you're one of the most likeable 'better' teams i've come across in glb so far. (tho if you figure out that cheerleader thing, lemme know so i can get in on that action )

We played our backup TE against the dungeoneers in an effort to disrespect them right back!

anyone else notice that zeta is much more talkative. i think alpha is plotting against us!

I believe we did start our backups for a game and we still juggle the lineup from game to game. We're made up of a number of people who have known each other for years and we created a team for all of us to play on. Some folks (like me) were in early, so made a bunch of players to fill holes while we gathered more of our friends together. Some of those 'filler' players have starting positions with the intent to phase them out to 'backups' as the 'Backups' get more experience and can start more regularly.

We thus place all sorts of people as starters or backups just to give folks playing time and experience and to keep it fun.

If we play you, and you see a different line up, no disrespect is intended from the Dungeoneers to your organisation. Its just us trying to keep everyone involved enjoying their game.

This is all of course my own take on it. I'll defer to the Owner and GM's if they decide to say the intent is actually to disrespect you.

I'll refer that to Garduf, he's DC. I'm only OC.

I'm glad for the most part, about 90% people that do talk in these threads are light hearted. It's good to see that!

I'm doing my part to disrespect other teams. I've been doing genealogy research before each game. I typically write the names of a few of our rivals' parents on one of the practice balls and then roll it around in the dirt and leave it half-deflated in the mud.

hahah, the half-deflated part is key

Why not over-inflate it?

Well, Oaf has a reputation.. so he'd rather not give his teammates additional ammo about how he likes big balls.

hahahah i am glad that someone has a good sense of humor.

Didn't mean anything by it but laughs. neither that the dungooneers lack respect for their opponents nor another fantastical drama.

I had read they were having problems with the energy/stamina changes and had made some moves to compensate in the past (page 5 of another thread).

This is SIRIS BIDNESS up in here, so I apologize for skewing that tone with sarcasm and smack.

In the words of Yakov Smirnoff, in Eastern Europe, You don't play football, Football Play YOU!

i would think under-inflated would give more ammo to teammates considering a deflated football might look a little more like what he seems to love.

Oh no.. he loves a nice, big, hard, fully engorged.....

These power rankings are hiliarious. If two teams are unbeaten, how can one team be ranked higher than the other? What makes this comical is that the GM of one unbeaten team Dungeoneers started these power rankings.

Hey Reffi, I understand your with your team all the way. However, based on your last performance, your team has many flaws. Its pretty sad when 7Gms almost lose to a team with a 9-2 record.

Wouldn't you agree?

your a moron!

Seriously. If the 11th game of the season is being played tomorrow, how would someone have a 9-2 record? I am thinking you have difficulties with Math. If you are basing this on our 'last performance' we were playing a team with a 7-2 record. A team I might say was excellently coached and whose voice on these boards has been gracious and humorous and is noted as one of the 'teams to beat' as the season progresses into the playoffs as they are doing quite well.

Power Rankings are based (in this case) in a publicly available formula that takes the scores from the preceding games. The formula Reffi is using is the one that was being used in another Conference on these boards who was posting power rankings every week while ours had none.

You can see the formula at http://www.justlacrosse.com/omffl/powerrating.htm.

I'll post it up though, as I think some of these folks who aren't from the St. Petersburg Piranhas might actually understand the math while you will just have to be contented in viewing something complicated and confusing.

(avg score x 6) + [(high score + low score) x 2] +[ (winning % x 200) x 2]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10

To try to help you understand this.. Everything above the dashed line is calculated and then you take the results and divide them by 10. I know that Math is not your strong point (see above) but hopefully you can muddle through it.

This creates a 'Power Ranking' number.

It is, purely by the math, that the Dungeoneers are on the 'top' of the Power Rankings and your team, is not. It has nothing to do with Reffi trying to pimp his team and at the same time insult your team.

I'm not sure what planet you come from when a 17 point win is 'almost losing' to another team. But, since this is now the criteria, let us loot at your schedule.

Your first game you almost lost to a 5-5 team.
Your 5th game you almost lost to a 7-3 team.
Your 6th Game, you almost lost to a 7-3 team.

Etc.

You've allowed 54 points, While we have allowed 13. Clearly you are superior (...at giving up points to 'inferior' teams).

Lastly, we have 7 GM's because we are able to form more lasting friendships and enjoy each others company better and have established trust and camaraderie over the years so found ourselves able to manage one person owning the team, one person playing the role of a GM, An Offensive Coordinator, a Defensive Coordinator and a Special Teams coordinator. On top of this, we have other players who were curious to see the way the system works, and we were not so paranoid and inspired by Bellicheat so allowed other people GM powers so they could see the systems, manage our message boards, etc.

All in all, it appears the Power Rankings, again based purely on math, seem to have a done a great job measuring the quality of the teams in our two conferences.

While you have 'almost lost' to teams with a combined record of 19-11 (63% combined winning percentage for your opponents in your 'almost lost' games) our two games with scores you have equated to 'Almost Losing' were against the Second Best team in our conference and a very strong team whose records are 16-4 (An 80% winning percentage).

Add to this, we did this without bringing 'pro' team players over partially through the season, and instead have been playing with our 'backups' starting some games so our friends can get playing time and experience and doing our best to make sure the other people in our conference are enjoying the game as much as we are by being amiable and friendly on the boards.

Clearly, we're just trying to diminish your accomplishments and you are vastly superior in every way. I am sure we are sorry for doubting this, and attempting to use some neutral form of statistical comparison to generate the power rankings.

I am sure you are welcome to generate your own formula and present an alternative and 'more accurate' measure of the team rankings.
