Still hanging into the 8th seed but anything could happen from now and the end of the season. The Eurasian Conference is a crap shoot right now...any team could make a run and swing from a 7 or 8 seed all the way to a 1 or 2. Yea its crazy, theres two teams outside the playoffs that are only 3.5 games back from the 1st seed!

Yeah, It's crazy the parity right now.
Just goes to show you how evenly we all drafted.

Yea, adding another creation draft pick or two has really helped some teams. Came close to adding another pick a couple times during the creation draft, disappointed I didnt.

Berlin, your assertions are absolutely off base and quite frankly out of line. Did I bring it up a few times? Of course. I am pretty sure I *once* said on skype it bothers me that he didn't want to do it. Every other time I was explaining the benefits, not spouting negative comments. Feel free to go and find all the other times I complained. This time it was for a very good reason in response to helping other GMs concerns. If you want to waste energy in calling out people, why don't you do it to the several GMs you have acknowledged yourself that do nothing in this league? I have a run a league before. It was with a pretty complex baseball program, and it ran for a long time. I know full well what it takes to run a league. I appreciate the job John does running this league. I think John would recognize that not every commish knows the best way to do everything (nor did I when I was doing it), and are open to suggestions, but he puts in a lot of work and the results have paid off. Thanks, John. Chicago, we will agree to disagree...you think you are being helpful, I think are being obnoxious, lets settle with somewhere in the middle and just say you are just overzealous. It isn't that I dislike you all that much...I just think that you like to beat a dead horse to the point where I want to snap. But trust me, I have no problem calling out there half the league that contributes nothing at all...I've heard some people complain about the new Philly GM being a bit annoying, but he's already got more posts and articles than a dozen GMs that have been here since the inception of the league. That is absurd people...get it together.

That is absurd people...get it together. Woah, bro...being active in the league can be a bunch of different things. It doesn't have to be posting, but I get what you're saying. At the same time, when someone contributes an article (such as best players 21 and under), some *cough* other people *cough* call it out for not being 23 & Under or 24 & Under (opening up possibly 25-50 more talents to write about). When someone creates a Check-In thread, all they receive is backlash. So, I don't want to create a poll on GB asking who the best player is because guess what? The 10 poll limit will not include Player X and player Y, leading to someone bitching about the OP.

When 12 GMs have less than 100 posts, that is ridiculous...when 6 that have been here since the beginning of the league have less than 60, there is no excuse for that. If you aren't posting, writing articles, talking in chat...what are you doing to be active? Saying same for each sim is nice and all, but the computer does that on its own. As for your article comment, I don't know who you are referring to...

This is a big sim for Sydney today, either I will have a fighting chance for a playoff spot or will be knocked out completely...
Corey is obviously hoping for the latter scenario to unfold.

When someone creates a Check-In thread, all they receive is backlash. A check-in thread is a way to see who needs to be fired. What long-standing GM wants to see a newb come in with (at the time) less than 200 posts and try to take my spot? You're lucky I locked/deleted the thread or you'd still be feeling the burns from that one.

If you let me be a leader, the league would skyrocket. I mean, for Goodness' sakes, I can taste those leading man parts already!

I don't know what posting a Check-in is about being a leader or why deleting a thread prevents you from being a leader, but whatever...
Be a leader by winning games, writing articles, and just being a good GM.
Also, your AD reference is forced.

I'm here trying to relax the environment and all I get from you is snide remarks. Back to being a recluse it is...*sob*

So, what is it? I am LIKING the stuff you say too much or I am being to harsh on you?
Think about what you say before you say it and you'll be fine. But the examples you are using you make your points are shit and I will tell you that every time.

No, I'm just tired of people giving me excuses... The same excuses that he was told privately were wrong (nicely) and why they were wrong. If he wants to relive that publicly he is welcome to do so.
