wealth consolidated in a small number of elite persons, leading to a deflationary economy that punishes those who try to develop new products (players) due to the lack of a strong "middle class" capable of purchasing said products, which in turn makes upward mobility slow and painful... coupled with a lack of infrastructure (game development) projects... i think i'm going to disagree with you on that one ;)

LOL, I was just focusing the lack of incentive, and punishing those who strive for greatness rather than rewarding those who shoot for mediocrity....but you make interesting points too :-)

I dont agree. I'd like to keep RL politics and BB separate though, a lot of that here already! lol

no clue... finishing 5th is almost definitely preferable to 6th even without factoring in the effect it will have next season, right? really screwed me, too... all he had to do was keep it to within, oh, 100...

ensure no injuries prior to the cup final? he gets an easy win in the playoffs too.

I'm happy sure, but I do feel bad for the guys at the top.

hmm, complaining about PD & unfortunate circumstances?
let's look back in time... all the way back to last season!

You had the following happen in the final full week of Season 19:
#1 LMA gives you a 96 point win: (42756627)
Yes, 96 points. He was out of the cup since before the all-star game. He hadn't throw a post all-star game til then. Note: The very next game he normaled me at home with his top lineup.

#2 then pre-tanking Dirk gives you your 2nd straight 96 point win of the week: (42756634)
Again that was pre-tanking Dirk. From the all-star break until your game, he didn't have a single 40 point loss all 2nd half... let alone a 96 point one. That was 1 game after Dirk played his top lineup vs. me & only lost by 15 points.


So to recap that final full week: 2 non-tanking teams, long since eliminated from the cup gave you 96 point wins. I played those very same teams, the very same week... and they went all out against me. All that with 4 teams within a game of each other & PD being huge


but this season, you're complaining about getting "screwed"? really??
