This should be something you love, I mean you were a commish who flat out said you didn't care what the rules said (4th).

I broke the "4th down rules" to my advantage against him in one of our games, he didn't have a problem with it.sableholic said:
I didn't have a problem when you "broke" the rules too in our game at the end either.

I called timeout because I was in punt block on accident because my phone was ringing. I got the phone and at the same time changed my defense to the correct formation.
It's cool though, I'll just be smirking all the time next season now that I know what's up.
FMT has shown he won't do anything about it so I should be good.

I just wanted to make sure the oh my wasn't saying he looked down upon it just given his past comments about rules. I don't particularly care.

ah ok then the oh my was definitely warranted, carry on
If it makes y'all feel any better, Smokey went for it on a couple of fourth downs when it was against the rules (most egregious being in his own territory in the first with a tie score), but I chose not to make a big deal out of it because he has a big persecution complex and, for some odd reason, I gave him the benefit of the doubt of not knowing that he was breaking the rule at the time. But now it seems to me he does know the rules...
You're the only Chargers fan here, so you should get a shot at them in 11. I don't see why the heck not.Nightz said:

If I went for it on 4th down I probably did it in your territory, if not then you should've called me out on it. This wasn't in my territory. And what do I have a persecution complex about?
I know the rules because you all bitched so much (for whatever reason) to FMT about me in Season 1 so I re-read that shit multiple times to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. After you complained I was doing PA too much I cut it down by a lot, and other things here and there.
But my eyes have been opened so it is what it is from this point onward.

If Fifty doesn't quit then I'm not giving up the Chargers.

Who gives a shit about this.
Why hasn't DM advanced yet!?

You went for it on your 20 (which was very surprising) and then again on the 45. Don't really care, just sayin' it's apparent you do know the rules now.Smokey said:
Not in this Madden. In next year's installment. No one's asking you to give up the Chargers. I don't think you would even if Fiddy quit.
Just said the same thing to him.Wellington said:
He's going on now.sableholic

more drama!? today is probably the worst day for this, truly not in the mood -_-
all i will say is that i would look more favorably on a fake punt than on someone just lining up in 4 wide or something on 4th down. was it against the rules? as i have them written it was.
what is difficult for me in coming up with these rules is that i'm trying to have it both ways. i want it to be sim, but i want it to be fair. against the 49ers this past year, andy reid went for it UP by 4 in the 2nd quarter ON HIS OWN 30 YARD LINE! of course our defense destroyed the eagles and got the ball there, but my point is that it's not always so far fetched.
smokey i have never punished you for breaking the rules. infact, the only person that has ever been punished for breaking the rules is luke. why? because of repeated offenses.
now that is not to say "break the rules twice and it's against the rules!", that is to say that if there is continued transgressions then something needs to happen. i have tried to be as lenient as possible because i think in most scenarios a case can be made that "this is sim" or "that is sim", it's very subjective.
people want there to be rules but they don't want there to be rules. there are times when a rule would fuck you and there are times where you have benefitted from bending the rules or breaking them. we have a good system going and i think if you look over the course of these 3 seasons there have only really been a handful of times that a rule has truly been broken (the most preposterous happened against me and i didn't complain because i saw it as being risky and not cheap!)
p.s. for the record, rors told me immediately after his game with smokey that smokey went for it on multiple 4th downs in his own territory.

DM actually owns all of the comics he has posted, he's just been scanning them.bluemax said:
Here is a pic of DM:
FrenchMovieTheme said:
Of course he did.
You saying that doesn't make him/it look any better.
All it says is that he ran to you instead of calling me out in the thread if I did do what he says, or saying something to me direclty about it.
That's what I pretty much expect though, and you'll probably get more of it in season 4 when I'm smirking all season like LJ.
At least when I line up in a empty backfield on 4th and 3, they'll know it's coming.
Honestly, I'm a tight ass when it comes to rules. I follow them as much as I can, don't have a problem with them at all, even if they are restrictive. But I can't be the only one who finds the current situation quite ironic. I expected Smokey to be upset, but going by his comments throughout the year I didn't think he would feel this slighted.
This won't ever be an issue with me again, I openly admit that I wanted to tick Smokey off, but I'm not planning on pulling a stunt like this again. Sorry for the headaches.

Fuck
GG FMT. Your fucks break way too many tackles but if i could have got that last one in for a TD instead of settling for a FG it would have been a different game. Fuck that goal line D and Patrick Willis.
Sidenote: Ive had to have dropped more picks than anyone this year. Karma for not dropping any last season

Smokey said:
this was after you accused him of manually controlling a WR (of which i never told him)
p.s. for the record smokey then told me he saw the replay and rors actually didn't control the wr.
and gg cb. i thought i was on the brink of losing the entire game. DEFINITELY lucked out with some dropped picks. but no way in fuck does asante catch eddie royal on a break away from the other side of the field :lol

CB just always keep in the back of your mind that FMT can pull that gameshark out whenever he wants.
I also believe Bob starts using his the 2nd half of every season.

Eh that happened to me with Booker on one of my early kickoff returns. Im lining up a block with one of my guys upfield and some douche catches me from behind. I literally screamed nooooooooo when that happened.
I had a couple open guys on third downs but donovans slow release doesnt help under pressure

wow it looks like rors is cleaning house right now on the broncos, 21-7.
i say "looks like" because i see thecrow online playing an online franchise madden game and losing 7-21, but i don't see rors online.... then when i go to his name where it usually says "last online X" it is completely blank. maybe he has everyone blocked to concentrate on what needs to be done!
