Warrior General Games

Ever shifting OP - TBH.



Calling out your OC in public is really low class. That's established. Let's go back to the 'I'll retire him if you don't like the build.' Stop the passive aggressive drama queen stuff and make a decision for yourself. If you're sick of the game, quit. Not many in APL would mind. If you like the game, then you better start working overtime trying to earn some respect back. Starting now your name is mud in APL.

I typically don't do this, but after reading the load of crap LTD has been spewing, I figured I would comment. D3 ran for 4390 yards last season to go along with 86 TDs, which seem like impressive numbers at first glance, even with a sim that glorified the ground game. But lets look closer shall we?

Week 3: 679 yards and 21 TDs against a gutted team.
Week 6: 440 yards and 17 TDs against a gutted team.
Week 10: 1066.5 yards and 17 TDs against a team twenty levels inferior to you and clearly in the rebuilding process.
Week 14: 784 yards and 20 TDs against a gutted team.

Alright, now lets take out those games and see what D3's stats are against real teams. That means in twelve games under a sim that heavily favored the run, you ran for an unimpressive 1421 yards and 11 TDs when you played against real "competition." Let's remember that GLB rushing stats are not NFL rushing stats where 100+ yards rushing is considered the benchmark for a solid individual performance on the ground. He also was basically shut down in that opening round playoff game you lossed (surprise, surprise, he's not clutch either). And no excuses since you have clearly been utilizing him to max out his potential at Tuscan, as you so kindly let us all know already in this thread.

So cut the bullshit and be straightforward about things: you stat-pad against gutted teams, and there are no gutted teams up here in APL, so you couldn't hack it (wow, what a surprise once again). You bitched and moaned and made your new OC your scapegoat, but got your way in the end. The fact that your level 54 HB can't hack it again any real competition is pathetic. End of story.

OK, I guess I'll expound further on the subject.

LTD is a good guy whose D3 trash talk probably crossed the line between being in jest and being spoken sincerely. He set an impossible standard by comparing D3 to Tea Baggins and Jedi Knight. D3 and the UN were a mismatch because I never tried to accommodate his desires to put up great stats; I tried to use him to the best of his abilities and give him fair opportunities, but he wasn't about to outperform two of the best backs in GLB, especially when our team is nowhere near as good as their teams.

I'm not going to "retaliate" or "call out" LTD. I like to think I'm above that juvenile bullshit, especially since this is an Internet game. He set impossibly high standards and was frustrated when he couldn't live up to them. I don't take offense; especially when the comments about my offense are being made by a relatively uninformed outsider (i.e. he can't see the AI). I already told him what happened and I think he understands. Not that it matters anymore, but at least there are no hard feelings.

I do sincerely wish him the best of luck with Tusken. However, I hope he'll be able to accept being the second best RB in AAA#2, behind the one and only Tecmo Bo, who is six levels lower than him

FredEx - classy response.

I don't think anyone here minds trash talk. For an example of how to react when your player doesn't do as expected and how APL tends to respond when you show you can take a hit: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2628982
