[AirBrian]

CB, if you're around today, I messed around with my router so we can try again.

 

[Rorschach]

Where are the awards and rankings?

DCX

I'm not the rankings dude (Vump said he would do them once every 3 weeks?), but I'll add 2 weeks of stats per day. One in the morning and one at night 'till it's caught up. Just sucks about the missing games. :\

MigCoogs (lol miguel) - 20
DMczaf (bucs) -26


KobeShaqMVP (Rams) - 20
Lambtron (Greenbay) - 10

FMT (SF) 56
Konex (Miami) 7 (used to be a Miami fan!)

Dskillz (Eagles) -44
Wsbiking -3

Maverick (steelers) - 21
Magoosh2k4 (titans) -17

Cubanb (broncos) - n/a
MrBob (chicago)- unplayed

[aka Pistonhonda aka Ninjascooter] Spoonman (redskins) - 0
Rorschach (moi!) (Raiders) - 30

Thefount (KC) - 38
Renegade -20

[Wellington]

I'll be playing my game with Sable tomorrow... the one with HG whenever he is on.

 

[Shawnwhann]

Woah woah...

Firstly, I didn't know about any of this. Secondly, Vumpler is running the league, I'm mostly just stat boy and I help with admin powers on the site when he's not around and I provide input when asked.

Now, what do I think about the rule and what happened? I could have sworn we typed up a tie scenario, but it looks like we didn't. I would think that this situation was acceptable. I know we wanted to be strict about the 4th down rules and follow everything to the word of the law, but there's also the spirit of the law and I think that situation is acceptable. What coach in the NFL wouldn't go for that? The intention of the rule was to prevent cheesing and running up the score. That is why the rule says "when you are down." It seems reasonable to me to go for it on 4th and short just to get into field goal range and kick the go ahead field goal. That's just my 2 cents. Your call, vump!

PS: is everyone gonna threaten to quit the league with every bit of drama that occurs? -_- Come, on guys, we can resolve these things rationaly. Don't lose your cool after heated games.

[edit] yeah, I was having fun before my xbox broke too, dcx. I think people are taking this season way too seriously. Maybe it's the tax season stress!

[edit2] Stats and awards will be updated tonight. Been busy with a real life legal battle.

Thanks for that post Rors. It's good to hear you admit that this situation should have been in the rules books, and that you felt it was an acceptable scenario. Looking back, I probably should have been more receptive to coming up with a solution both myself and Bonsevan could live with. I still feel I did not do anything wrong in regard to the game, but I can somewhat understand Bonsevan's complaint.

I've documented my thoughts on the admin of the league, but I am concerned with having a perception of being a quitter for future leagues. Bonsevan and I are going to play a new game and fix this situation ourselves like we should have from the beginning. So I guess I'm back barring any objections from the commish.

Good to hear. Let's get it on.

 

[BirdBomb]

matrix, when exactly are you playing your other 3 games? u said u hada game today, and i another 1 was planned...just trying to get a feel as to when we'll get our game in.

 

[Matrix]

I'll play you know now if you're still around

 

[BirdBomb]

Can you still go? hit me up on XBL if u can

 

[Matrix]

Yea I can play now

 

[Andokuky]

gg. thought you had me beat in the 1st qtr. stupid button switching kept screwing me over on ur 2 streaks to Bennett

 

[Matrix]

GG,stupid lag we had too,I couldnt tackle for shit.

 

[Andokuky]

opps that was me (bird) forgot to switch names

 

[AirBrian]

Is everyone having lag today? I've played 3 games today including one with a friend who lives ~5 miles away and they all have been laggy. :|

Well I dont know what Bird thought but I found the lag in our game to be more annoying than usual.

I missed a lot of tackles I normally make and one of my kickoffs I didnt kick far enough and Bird took it back for a huge gain.

And I was booted off so I didnt get my team player stats all filled in.

 

[Andokuky]

yeah, that lag was horrid. idk what the deal was. I know i hit sticked you a few times that didn't register, and of course the player switch was goofy, and tackling was bad. stupid servers.

 

[BirdBomb]

URGH that was me again, Ando keeps using the 'remember me' thing...

 

[Rorschach]

Second batch of stats up!

2 a day; we should be caught up soon while leaving time for digestion.

 

[Matrix]

I finally beat Dm,holy shit

 

[Rorschach]

[Matrix]

Rors still doesnt have his 360 back,I believe,so I cant play him.

So Shawnwhann, are you in the league or not? If not, I need a sub for the Cowgirls.

 

[vumpler]

So I guess I'm back

Looks like it.

 

[ChrisJames]

Who is ChrisJames? We have a game to play.

I am ChrisJames. My s/n is Ctennisgod3, my g/t is MightBeWrong.

That info was also available on the league site, but whatever.

I can play late tonight (after 11 EST) if you can or else just talk to me on AIM to get a time straightened out.

 

[Shawnwhann]

Lets get it on tonight AirBrian. What time works for you? Keep in mind I'm on the westside.

 

[AirBrian]

Tonight's a little tricky. What about 10PM CT (8PM PT)? If that doesn't work, I'll get on AIM when I get home sometime around 9PM CT and we'll figure it out.

 

[sableholic]

Rors, malley, and HGplayer when are you guys available this week?

 

[Shawnwhann]

9PM CST would be perfect for me. My girlfriend is taking over the television for American Idol tonight so starting the game by 7PM is the goal for me. Thanks!!

 

[AirBrian]

OK then, 9PM CT (7PM PT) sounds good!

 

[Rorschach]

Rors, malley, and HGplayer when are you guys available this week?

My treesiddy is broken. It's supposed to come in by the end of the week, so I can't play 'till probably the weekend.

[AirBrian]

When I first start the game after everything loads, I get a box asking me:

Live Opponent

Would you like to be a live opponent for this game session?

Yes
No

How can I turn this off so it doesn't ask me every time I turn on the game? Does this happen to anyone else?

 

[ChrisJames]

Just to keep everyone up to date, I've been trying to get my game with Malley in all week, but he's been busy getting ready for a trip to Florida. So that's why we haven't played yet. Hopefully he'll be able to play tonight.

LiveWire, sorry I didn't see your post last night. I can play tonight if you want.
