One of the first things I said was "you should understand what the entire NT squad is like before you know if a player is good enough for your NT". you are ignoring the fact we do not have those other players to make that style of template work.

So in your world, this NT roster can only start Tone at PG, Farquharson at SG, O’Dea at SF, and Rourke at PF? We don’t have a good enough team to try anything else? That mindset is completely baffling to me. But more and more it seems like once you make up your mind about something, then that’s the only way it can be — end of story.
Whether it’s an NT team or a Division V. team, you have to work with the players you’ve got and adapt to the situation to get the most out of them. Not just sit around complaining about what you don’t have and deciding that this is the only lineup or tactic we can use all year long… Bizarre.

Can we really play a guy with 13 handling at PG or SG against players with like 20+ OD that your gonna get on NTs? He's only gonna see that level of player in the Super League a handful of times a season if we're honest about it. SF might even be a push at NT level as well.

What are you even talking about? The whole point was that he should be playing center, not PF! How did you derail the conversation so badly that now we’re talking about starting at PG/SG?

Do you know O'Rourke is No.4 in blocks per game in the Super League? Haverty is 1, Bradley is 2.
O'Rourke is No. 4 in Rebounds, Haverty 5th and Bradley 6th.

Please, just stop… These are random numbers generated by the match engine based on tactics, form, opponent, and skills. Do you seriously think a player should be defined by the fact that he's 4th instead of 3rd in some arbitrary stat?
It's a fun element in the game — like being smiley or having blonde hair.

Things can happen in life, and can drain your time away. My mother got sick a couple of months ago, and to be honest I have very little time. I have to use the little time gaps I have to write a response. If someone has a heart attack for example, they will be in hospital for a few weeks to recover, and wont have access to a phone even. Plenty of things can happen to people to rob them of time. People go into an election with the best of intentions, but hey, life happens. Grow up.

I’m genuinely sorry. That does explain your anger management issues to some extent.
So let me get this straight — if someone’s given a responsibility and then doesn’t touch it for months, we’re not even allowed to ask why? Because life happens, right?
Is that how things work at a real job too? Since we’re talking about "growing up"...

You choose to do the same with your final game against my team, the 3rd seed in your conference. Not only did it mess up minutes for those teams going into the playoffs, it somehow was exactly what the team with the 4th worst record in the league needed to nab the 2nd overall pick.

How many games have you set your lineup based on worrying about your opponent’s minutes?
It wasn’t intentional, nobody rage-quit against you with 4 players or anything. Honestly, I didn’t care who I was playing — you or anyone else — my season had been over for ages.
As I already said on discord, two of those four players were sold in the meantime, and since I was dead last and only setting my lineup once a week for simplicity’s sake, the old setup stayed in place. I only logged in to buy Blake anyway.
Not everything revolves around you. If I’m not mistaken, this isn’t the reason you didn’t win the title.
And this whole draft pick conspiracy theory of yours is just nonsense. I got the best player in the draft — you can see it yourself — and he was my 1/1. I could’ve easily gotten screwed, but the supposed "lotto winner" ended up picking someone worse, so it gave him zero advantage.
What would’ve been the point of this "evil cheating scheme"?

Like you guys seem to be in lockstep trying to run down the NT boss just after an election.. All you guys are really doing is undermining the NT coach quite publicly for the next 2 seasons, instead of going onto the discord and asking whats happening. It could have been handled far more easily and politely on the discord for the NTs - literally post "Whats happening with the NT at the moment?". Its like major sour grapes.

Wow, this part is honestly just mind-blowing.
The NT boss didn’t log into the NT team even once, and when I pointed that out, I’m suddenly the bad guy for supposedly trying to "run him down"? Come on, think about that for a second.
Undermining? He didn’t need anyone to undermine him — doing nothing at all did that by itself. That doesn’t mean he won’t do a great job for the remaining one and a half seasons, but let’s not start blaming others for him losing interest.
I get it — you feel like you’re operating on some higher level, not just because of your “NT knowledge” but also because you’re part of the discord inner circle. I wasn’t on discord and neither are about 25 other managers. They also have a right to know if someone has stepped away from managing the team or if "life happens." That’s exactly what the forum topic was made for.
And funny enough, now you’re posting here too, even though I was told I should’ve gone to discord instead.

You could really have just waited 2 seasons and brought things up then and won an election then.

This is probably the most important point. I didn’t write this because it’s about me or because I want to win in two years — if that were the case, I would have done things differently.
I thought this couldn’t go on like this because the season was messed up, and I wanted to change that.
It’s nice that you stand by your friend, but he didn’t touch the NT team at all this season — both you and he admitted that. So the observation was completely fair.
And if that was mentioned, it would have been much more constructive to just say he’s busy or unavailable, instead of turning it into a personal issue over messed-up minutes.

Like I knew you are a troll, but this is so far across a line its unbelievable.

You literally come into a forum and go after someone with vitriol when you had ample opportunity to do so quietly via DMs or discord, and when someone gives you logical rebukes, with the same tone as you (remember the old saying - "always treat others like how you want to be treated"), then you resort to try to shit on someone's hurt with that type of cheap shot.

You are the one who introduced the vitriol to this forum chat. You are annoying people. I will respond in kind within reason, but I wont stoop as low as you. I'm done even responding to you.
