I think he gave up to start the baseball redraft. Even if he didn't have the better team I don't think he should have gave up. We've been making these teams for months and to just give up at the end..again(see basketball redraft) is really worthless. Another couple days of voting wouldn't have mattered to the baseball redraft anyways because there is currently 9 people. You gave up this for really nothing.

 

 

 

We have bingo. Especially considering how "important" an explanation or a rationale or a gameplan was just last round.

 

It's safe to say this is the last one of these I'll run and probably the last one I participate in.

 

I will say the right team won in the finals, though.

I would have been happy to create a game plan, if only because that was my favorite part of this entire exercise. But with what I caused in the previous round, I don't blame ital for wanting to skip that part of it. At the very least, this is better then a concession.

That's fair. As I've said before I don't hold a grudge for what happened in the prior round but as the creator of this, I would have liked to have seen the analysis of the finals.

 

Ital is essentially saying his team has no business in the finals, and in that case I absolutely agree.

Right, I completely understand. Well, it was a fantastic idea, and you did a great job running this TK. I love the NFL, and this was a lot of fun to participate in. Hats off to everybody that participated, and took the time to keep up with this thing throughout its duration.

Because the final isn't being treated like a regular match-up?

 

Yes.

 

I don't care that I won or lost - I believe the winner (you) was one of the 3 best teams, and one of 3 teams that I felt had a shot at winning this.

 

The reason I built a team was so I could go up against the next best team and try to figure out a way to expose their weaknesses. Not to get to the finals and have someone say ok just pick who you think is better, it doesn't matter why.

I missed a lot of this because I was at a job interview, and I'm quite happy that I did miss it because because I would have been very pissed at the ignorance and incorrect statements that have been made concerning me in the time I was absent. Rather than going on a typical "Ital guns blaze" rampage that has defined me in the past and that would result in a ban, I'm going to try to handle the situation more responsibly, despite the inate desire to repeatedly take a baseball bat to my computer.

 

The reason why I "conceded" despite not officially conceding is because I wanted to get the baseball draft going and because of all of the animosity and personal comments being thrown around in one of the semi finals. I did have my fair share of responsibility in it, but it was largely between you (Kilo), Y228 and myself, with a little bit of Yankshater thrown in. Not to mention that very few people actually vote anyway, and with only Y228 and myself left in it (and we can't vote in the finals) that meant that YH and Kilo would likely be the only 2 voting.

 

Following that trend, you guys have voted against my team for the ENTIRE tournament. I'll keep my feelings about those decisions to myself, but the fact is, it was OBVIOUS who you 2 were going to vote for. It was obvious that Y228 was going to win, and I don't think that I need to point out that I was RIGHT the entire time.

 

I didn't "concede" because I didn't think my team wasn't worthy. I like my team more than any of the other teams and I think it clearly deserved a spot in the finals. But I knew that I was going to be pissed off when people went in the thread and said some of the same hackneyed arguments as to why my team would lose even thought I addressed many of them in previous threads, and it wasn't worth the time and the effort of putting through a large analysis or game plan if you guys were going to vote against my team anyway. It wasn't worth my time.

 

I figured that instead of continuing a lot of animosity from the last semifinal that would have gotten brought up again here, I'd do the noble thing and "let" Y228 win. When Y228 wanted to let the voters decide, I said go for it and I let him have it his way. Besides, I didn't need an explanation from you or YH because I knew exactly what you 2 were going to say anyway, so it would have been a waste of all of our time. You guys had your say, you guys got to vote, your "guy" won in the end. If anything, I should be the only one that's pissed off right now, not any of you guys.

 

I think after editing this a few times I was able to take all of the swears out, so it more or less accurately depicts my frustrations while allowing me to go play Grand Theft Auto to take out the rest of my aggression towards the pretentious garbage consistently spewed in my absence. Have a nice life Kilo, I won't miss you in any of the future redrafts.

You're hilarious dude, you had no problem explaining why everyone needed to reread the explanation that Y228 posted last round before making the deciding vote in the semifinal matchups but then decide it's just not that important now? It's weak, and it sucks this is the way this exercise is going to end. Once again, you're accusing me of making decisions and voting the way I did simply for gameplanning purposes which is totally baseless and inaccurate.

 

But hey, I appreciate that you edited your post and dint come out "guns blazing". I don't think I would have slept a wink tonight if you did.

Look, if you really think that your opinion is important (which it isn't to me) then you can post an explanation as to why you think Y228 would win, and you can message it to him. I wouldn't waste my time reading it because it'll be the same thing that's been said in the past threads. You can waste your time doing it, but I'm not going to waste my time reading it.

 

I'm not sure what else you could want, you guys got the chance to vote, and the team you wanted to win, did win. If the only thing that was missing was your half baked attempt at justifying it, then you can copy and paste the crap you've put in the previous round threads and repost it here for all I care.

 

Is there anything else that you and YH are upset about? I'm only asking you because I don't need to ask YH directly since I can always get his opinion directly from you.

Y228 is the winner and we're still here arguing this because?

 

Don't wash your hands, Pilate!

 

You helped add fuel to the fire....shame on you! <_>
