If I edit my previous post to remove the reference to mutual ties, will this all go away?

Honestly, I wish to know how Potros Midway is economically. Because he has some very expensive players (I'm in the same position as him, only lost one game in the league and still in the cup). My arena is bigger. But he has some high prices (when I did the maths it didn't compensate to have free seats at the arena).
For curiosity, what's his weekly economic balance?

Oh, you want to mutual playoff normal tonight? I KID I KID

I know both those teams started with pretty poor teams, took what they had (1 or 2 trainable players), added 1 or 2 more, and trained them efficiently.

Potros made most his money on one player who he bought for 90k, trained him up and then sold for 2.8m. Then took that money to add a bunch of good players to solidify his lineup.

No trading, no extra bags of money, they started in similar if not the same situation.

Strangely enough - that is not far from the email I received. They must have used this as a template. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I offered you a mutual tie in our cup game, as you were playing the #1 team (Myopic Marauders) the following league game. He won, edged you out for home court in the finals by 1 game, and ended up promoting.

If i was you, id have focused on that league game (looks like he ct'd your normal), and maybe things would have turned out diff, with or without a tie in our game.

Feel free to keep overstating the effect and calling cheating on something which is within the rules. Steroids are illegal in the US, no matter what MLB did or didn't do about it. To those that are invoking it, thats a crap analogy.

And for those too lazy to read back, I agree about the enthusiasm system, tie's are lame. But, thats the game and these are the current rules. Please redirect your criticism of this to the suggestions thread.

Doh! Now I understand why DFC is so bitter. He/she totally screwed his/her own team last year. What a Numbskull/Numbskullet!

To be clear - I didn't respond to your email. I didn't CT you either and congradulated you after your win. My schdule last season was brutal and caused me more issues than anything else.

I stated a fact - and if your feelings are hurt because everyone is calling you a cheater that is not my problem. I purposely didn't accuse anyone of cheating - I went the road that you were asked a direct question and you ran to the rules instead.

Further - my complaints have been focused on money. If the whole post has been read, It was noted money was available to the teams in B3 and prize money was awarded. In season 3 when we faced in the semi's the question was asked what does anyone get for finishing in the top 4 of the cup. The response was a handshake and the arena revenue. Had I known our game means more than that, do I play it differently? YES. There is more at stake. Do I play our quarterfinal differently? Yes. The results may not of changed, but the effort would of.

Nope - MM was a better team. They beat me fair and square and the proof is their performance in the NBBA. They didn't need to prearrange a match with me to kick my rear.

To be fair, Myopic isn't really in the NBBA. They are in the "Great 8".

Your ego aside Myopic is in the NBBA. They have access to the same potential arena attendance and regular season cash flow. Expansion of their arena and continued success on their side of the bracket should let them buy ever better players and the gap between the "real NBBA" and the ones you look down on should shrink.

The great 8 should if they havent already be in discussion to set up a similar arrangement next season with the goal being knock off the elite 8 in interleague play, take homecourt and give themselves the best chance to win a title.

Back to the original reason this post was put up, Id rather see them fight for extra cash than have it granted to them. The BBB caused at least one of them a loss which may or may not have bearing on homecourt for their playoffs this season.

Id rather see the BBB played in arcade mode similar to private leagues with enthusiasm taken out of it. I think someone had mentioned putting this in the suggestion box so Ill head over there and see what can be done.

With the nastiness and broad range of issues brought up in this topic Im suprised a BB hasnt made a comment about any of the issues raised.
