I can see the battling and sniping at DIA as there isn't the wealth of talent up there.  That is another reasob you get more recruiting dollars to start with. Guys aren't grown much.  There isn't a need for even high potential there.  Heck you may sign a guy this season and he leaves for the draft next season.  He could be poor potential and it doesn't matter.  An STL is almost meaningless.as he won't stay long enough to gain his potential.  But there IS plenty of talent at DII and DIII.  Even DIAA.  There is no need to do it.  People who do it there just are doing it to the detriment of the game.
There is a lot of wrong in this post.

Zed - I think the reason you're getting hounded is that you seem to contradict yourself.  You keep saying there is plenty of talent and there's no reason to poach.  Along those lines, if there is plenty of talent, why is there a need to defend your recruits?  Why don't you just go sign those great recruits that nobody else is recruiting?  
2 reasons,  1 I had already invested in the one being sniped and searching for more requires money.  I only try to hold 3 spots back to go look fo STLs. 

2  I don't go much out of my own backyard so it is kind of a turf rhing.  He's plenty close to me so it isn't a turf issue  with him.  It's his timing of when he does these things that grates. What I obviously haven't made clear is I don't mind so much when a green turns early.  This guy, and 2 others turned, were turned the cycle before signing.  If this was the first time I wouldn't mind so much either but it is recurring. 

It would also be easier to swallow if he wouldn't beat his chest over a manifesto he doesn't use and thumps it some more over what a great recruiter he is.  Heck If I had a DII and DIII team in the same World I bet I could recruit better too.  I honestly don't give a rats *** if a guy has 2 or 3 teams in the same World under different IDs IF they are all DIA or at least not both in the lower  Divisions.  But I have a problem when someone beats thier chest over how good he is at recruiting and then has 2 teams in the same world AND in the 2 lower Divisions.  High potential is key at DII and DIII. There is  plenty of talent in DII and DII.  Maybe not ones that can start in the first 2 seasons but there are plenty that can grow. 

I also have an issue when someone out and lies to or about me and he's done both.  Come on me Gino?  Zed mail is mild compared to Ginomail.    Yep Grindi is my brother but we aren't Siamese twins.  I'm not near as volatile as he is.  He also has a lot more conscience than me.  I'm a retired cop.  I've seen punks all my adult life.  When I give my payback to him I won't have any second thoughts and I'll keep it up until I get tired of it.  He's got payback coming and he's going tp get it.

Good post Cyd.

Also...I want to make this point clear for the last time. While there may be others that find Grindi/Zedicus/Gino to be an awesome coach who has a zen-like ability to find STL's...I have never looked at their recruits and went...GOTTA GET ME SOME OF THOSE!!! My resume isn't the best resume in GD...but I think it speaks for itself. I don't need to look at other peoples greens to decide who is good...I can talent evaluate on my own thanks! I also certainly don't look at a team who has never won a NC for my guys!!!

I sent an AC scout 1st cycle...I sent a CV 2nd cycle that was rejected and he was then red to Catawba. I didn't look at their list searching for his STL recruits...it's really comical that he keeps saying that.

I said it in another thread and I will say it here. I will provide a screen shot showing WHEN I sent my 1st AC scout...when the 1st CV visit was rejected...and where I sent 6 CV's on a cycle where he stayed red. This should easily prove that...

A. I scouted this guy all on my own
B. I did send effort the 1st cycle after the report that was received.
C. I sent 6 CV's at the 9:00 cycle that were accepted...if he had only 1 CV and 1 AC...would I really spend another 10 CV's the next cycle?

The proof will set you free my friend!!!
As I said before, you're a liar. As my brother told you on your own post we would appreciate it if got it through your head that Gino, Zed, and Grindi are 3 entirely different people.  You're a sniper.  It is legal. Be proud.  Just don't be shocked when it happens to you.   If you think we are all the same then we have a lot of NCs.  How many of your NCs were a result of having 2 or more teams in the same World and Division?  You said yourself you are Vick and also you do Jts.  My brother does several other teams along with his but none have ever been in the same World.  You most certainly do and add JTs into the mis and there is more.

And last I am not your friend.  I intend to get your crown of King of snipers.

Have fun with that.  I have no doubt that you will be unable to do it successfully, ruin your class, and damauler will be fine.  You will reap what you sow...

Also, I love how you are now accusing him of colluding with no evidence at all.  Is anybody with 2+ ID's a colluder?  If so, then a lot of people are in trouble.  And, I'm pretty sure that you're the only person that has never "sniped" a recruit in their time.  In fact, I bet you have without realizing it.  The whole term is wrong.  You're not sniping a recruit from somebody else.  Sniping would imply that you own the recruit that is green, which is not true at all.  A green recruit merely means he is considering you, and nothing else.

Lol...now because I have a top end team in DII at Valdosta...and a team I turned into a top end team at DIII at Hiram...I am now a cheater? Have WIS investigate me and I guarantee I have never used even 1 AC scout on a guy for Hiram while I was at Valdosta.

Also...here is the screen shot. I covered over some of how much I have invested in him, but you will clearly see that I didn't come after him 1 cycle before signings as you have claimed ad-naseum.




Weird...The guy made my WATCH LIST before recruiting even started...Crazy.

Weird...On the 26th I sent an AC scout...Was he already green to you before 1st cycle started? Otherwise...I mean...I must have read your list...right?

Weird...I sent a CV on the 26th as well...seems to add up to the story I was selling...

Weird...6 CV's were sent on the 27th...how was that 1 cycle before signing.

Weird...After I sent those 6 CV's...I came back with 10 more. Why would I have to do that if you had only 1 CV and AC? Wouldn't the 1st 6 do the trick?

Crazy...I can substantiate everything I have claimed....can u?

I shoud ex some of these out, zeds included for not staying on topic but i won't.  I will just politely ask you guys to take your BS some place else.  But since damouther keeps bringing it up. Zed, Gino and I are all different people.  I've asked him nice several times to knock off his lies.  He persists in his fantasy.  I don't care what proof you want or don't want, get it onto your own thread.  If Obama can fake a birth certificate I'm sure adjusting a freaking picture wouldn't be that difficult.  SO take your crap elsewhere. 

As for having 2 teams in the same world.  I don't care about that either.  I think the potential for cheating is there but I really don't care.  This game is so f ed up the only advantage would be in recruiting and since I am in DII and DIAA, I see no problems getting the players I need. 

The whole point of the thread was to discuss the relevance of sniping/poaching.  My position is there isn't a need for it and it hurts the game by poing people who are trying to get better.  There have been some valid points to the contrary especially at DIA.  I think that still leaves DIII and DII in a position where the game itself is NOT being best served.  It is just one more reason to get discouraged and leave. 

Onside, you are full of crap.  I don't care if people disagree.  I get poed when people get personal as you always do.  You and others can't ever seem to carry on a discussion without slinging mud.  I would appreciate if you also would just stfu unless you can stay on the topic and quit attacking me personally. Why do you guys have to be so rude?
4/29/2012 3:04 PM (edited)
I'm a pit frequenter, don't stop by anywhere else, but did notice this crap fest. 

Grindi, maybe the reason they are so rude is cuz you tell them to "stfu." Just a thought.

You do realize that foil caps are not fashionable, yes???

Took quote a few insults for me to say that.  Please keep things on subject. That was the message I tried to leave above.  But Llad I stand by the Birth Cerificate crack.  I don't for a minute believe he was born here nor do I think has been good for this country.  He gets my rating below Carter and was a good man but an awful President.  I think this guy got elected by Chicago politics. But now I am off topic. 

Plaese guys stay civil and stay on the topic.  If nobody has anything more to say o topic let the thread die.

You are hysterical.  Never one did I sling mud.  Every single time I try to add to the discussion, you attack me for no reason.  Please go back and read what I wrote, and explain to me how that could possibly be so "personal" like you said.  I seriously have no idea where you get this stuff.  Not to mention, I was talking to zedicus and not grindi.  Now that's interesting.  Either way, I didn't attack either of you personally, and it's pretty clear from my post.  All I noted was that Damauler is a competent coach and won't let zedicus snipe his recruits that easily.  How in the world is that an attack?

The reason nobody takes you seriously is that you blatently argue with everybody and then come after people for no apparent reason.  That might not be how you view it, but that's how it appears.

pretty sure birth certificates are not a matter of faith, though people like you love to make everything into one

believe what you want to believe, but i'm going to believe you are stupid because of it!

p.s.- does this count as staying on topic? you brought it up...

grindi, that post crosses the line. I'm sorry.

I firmly believe Obama is one of the worst Presidents we've ever had, but that doesn't mean that he isn't American. If I were standing next to him when an assassin walked up to him, I would still take the bullet for him. Why? Because he is the PRESIDENT. In that moment, I don't care about our differing views on abortion or the economy or anything else. 

The man is American, as has been proven. I take extreme offense that you would accuse the President otherwise. I'm not asking you to join the military or anything, but at least show patriotism and do not slander the President.

Took me a while to find it but I did.  It happened in one of the other posts.  I Quote "I'm pretty sure the entire forums is on Grindi's hate list, because if you think for yourself or disagree slightly with him in any way, you're on it."  First off that is a bold face lie.  I don't care if you disagree.  Just don't get personal and start slinging mud like that statement surely is. 

You guys are having a real problem understanding this but Zed is my brother.  I am not taking sides at all.  If you read some of the early comments I agreed with Damauler.  If a person wants to snipe, fine by me.  I think it is a detriment to the game but I don't really give a crap.  I've taken care of everybody that got me.  I don't snipe by choice but should add I will take your recruit without warning at signing in retaliation.  I'm in general a nice guy when it comes to recruiting and avoid stuff as I believe there is plenty of talent at the levels I'm at to go around.  I try to avoid battles.  It is a waste of resources.  My teams perform very well doing it my way.  I enjoy getting my guys to grow to their full potential.  I enjoy finding the diamonds in the rough. 

You guys bash zed and I all the time how we do things wrong.  Well come into our conference show us.  Better yet why dont' we get a list of guys willing to start out fresh in a completely different world and we can grow our teams at the same time?  The only rule would be that the coach has to pick a team that has been a SIM for at least 5 seasons.  It would mean starting out t DIII.  Then after say 6 seasons move up to DII.  If we place a point value on our rankings at the end of the season we could actually have some sort of measure.

DARN IT, YA GOT ME.

Ever hear of sarcasm?

EDIT: Also, I would totally take that challenge.  But, seeing as I am a poor college student with no money, somebody would have to fit the bill.  You willing to deliver, Grindi?
