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??

why'd you run up the score on me as much as possible the 2nd to last game? you knew i was conceding & you had PD already locked up. but you put up your best ratings of the season that game.

jeez... persecution complex much?

but, no, i was trying to figure out why he did it, because on first glance, it seemed like an odd decision to me. and part of why i was trying to figure out is because it, unquestionably, hurt me. regardless of what happened leading up to that point, you can't argue that the outcome of that game helped me, right?

not to mention... you got two tanks from red, just like i did. plus visionaries, boom, ctb, visionaries (again). seems a bit odd to be complaining about two games in which i ran up PD over the past two season when you had no fewer than 7(!!) games vs tankers this season alone.

btw, ratings are almost inflated when you play against a very weak team. so i'd say the highest rating thing in this case has more to do with what you did than what he did.

edit: assuming you still use your A lineup with no scrubs to soak up blowout minutes.

If he pushes it to 3 games (which is easy), he can make a small profit. Its not as good as tanking then buying a new team, but he wouldn't have had this cup run that way.

is rele game 3 on sunday or tuesday? i was thinking tuesday, which is why it didn't make sense (week 1 you get the equivalent of 1 home game, week 2 you get 2/3rds of a home game vs not paying salaries). if you get all 3 games in one week, and then no salaries in week 2, i guess that makes some sense. although in his case, both home games would be coming after losses, so kind of crappy income.

he wasn't just asking why i won, but also asked, "why to that level?" (as in, why wasn't my win by fewer points.)
well him asking that is like me asking why was his win over me was by as much as it was. that's all i was trying to get at in my post to him.

[in our game he ran up the score as much as possible, but completely unnecessarily. (why to that level?) the biggest blowout quarter was the 4th, & he made sure to make it so his starters were still in then. i didn't put out *that* bad a team... every single player i used had double digit ratings. it wasn't a situation where one would expect a 50+ point loss.]
