Sick to your stomach?   For a real-life badass, you take the simgame internet experience a bit too seriously.

Hey, if you're gonna be a badass sheepdog, we need a warning siren.
My opinion, but you strike me as the kind of guy that is a total stud over a forum chat board where you can put down others, make yourself feel good and never be called onto the carpet for it.  I imagine if we ever met up in "real life" you would keep your mouth shut until you could get around your buddies and talk about what you should have done.  I am sure you will have a genius remark concerning this assessment of yourself, can't wait to hear it.

Well, obviously, I'd be afraid to backtalk you.   You've explained that you're a badass of much reknown.   So it's just not fair to ask what I'd do in your overwhelming presence.

However, I've met a few people on this site.  Ask around.  Doubt you'll find any who'd describe me as the wilting flower you assume.

Yeah dummy, I expect anyone who makes it to the WS would like to win it.  To have it tarnished mid series doesn't sit well.
Yeah, badass.   Internet simgame too seriously.

To be fair, I've had flutters in my belly in anticipation from a WS final game.  You seem pretty passionate about this game too, Mike.  Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

What I am seeing now is that ranger and steve actually believe being the commish of a world is a position of power lol. Your job as Commish is to:

1. Enforce the HBD rules
2. Enforce any private world rules.
3. Make sure everyone is taking care of their ML and Minors
4. Find replacements when needed. 
5. Recruit for potential openings. 
6. Maybe have to step into a WC argument to calm it down or be the voice of reason.

Other than those and maybe a few more things, the commish is not there to be a "leader" like a boss over the rest.

Nope.  It's an internet simgame.  I don't like cheaters so I don't like cheating.   That's your "passion".   About the most "passion" you'll get from me on a game result is a "****" and then move on to checking my pitching.   I get over losses pretty quickly.

So which is it, you received 1 out of 7 votes or I took over posting live updated results of your 1 week intern rogue commish role that had you gain 1 vote out of 32 owners in a world where you are 'well respected, never a problem and have tons of people on your side'?

I'm confused.

One thing we do agree on is that you did not make a trade with a new owner last season because I prevented them from being ripped off by you, thus your outrage.

Tom,

Don't group me in with Ranger. I'm only speaking of commish to show how disliked Ranger was compared to how beloved he claims to be and because I know for a fact that hes only leaving the world because of how unloved he felt when he lost the election. I have no interest in ever being a commish.

There was no attempts to rip anyone off.  Your a moron, but I guess we should totally trust your vote tally, you probably created an Excel spreadsheet just to track me.  Who cares?  I was voted out, no big deal.  You seem to have a much larger emotional stake in my time as commish as I ever did.  Sad.

Me wanting out of the world because I felt unloved and lost an election is ridiculous.  The only reason I want out is I can't stand the Mouth.  I have tried very hard throughout this discussion thread not to throw frivolous personal attacks at anyone, including you, that don't add to the thread.  You, on the other hand, that is all that you do, and it isn't hard to detect the element of resentment and anger you have over me in your posts.  It really is like a weird love thing and I think it is not that difficult to read all this and tell fairly easily you have something strange going on mentally.

I had a perfectly good and respected standing in Mike Greenwell prior to you joining.  Your first couple of seasons, you started the Mouth, you invited two friends and you really turned off many owners.  My role was I reacted to you, blew up WC in an effort of frustration at trying to get the Mouth to close, so I am sure I also turned off many owners with my rants over how you entered a perfectly calm world and rocked it.  Wouldn't surprised me if most owners wanted to see both of us gone over the whole mess.  I own that.  For a long time I stooped to your level and it didn't look good.  Finally I got smart and decided to just leave.

Ranger keeps pounding the table as facts get pounded at him.

I have not used insults at all. I simply point out inconsistencies in your posts. If that insults you then maybe your moral standards aren't as high as you think.

You're the one who continues to use insults, even though you claim to really try hard to not use them and only use them if someone says them towards yourself first.

Exactly, and this is how I approached it.  A good commish is one you can't remember their name most times.  When I ran for commish it was pretty clear that no rules would be enacted unless world majority wanted them, there was to be no power mongering at all, and that if at any time majority wanted to vote me out, I would step aside no questions asked.  Which is what I did.

Tomhighway, I did not take the position to project power, your assessment of me doing that is wrong.  All I wanted was to create a fun world where owners had respect for each other with some rules that would enable that to foster.

The world was too far gone for this to happen, and the Mouth wasn't about to be upstaged.
That's funny.  You've said "You can't lead those who don't want to be led" more times than you've referenced your badassery.

If you're talking about being a leader, you're talking about being in power.

Please don't beat my *** for pointing this out.

That's where I was going with it too Mike, I think this thread needs some caracarn action! Maybe he'll be able to speak some sense into ranger. Or maybe just maybe............ no it couldn't be...

Steve, I group you with ranger because it's not like he's the only one going back and forth over this. You just like him say this happened and that happened but where is the actual proof? The trade chats from other owners? The severe hatred for him that you claim they have as well as the hatred they have for you like he says? It's turned into one big post about hear say and no facts being shown. The trades  and the current world chats sure show a lot but I also see a lot from you too. I don't take sides in situations that I can't clearly choose so I will not show bias either way. Much like you told him, you point inconsistencies.. I am also doing the same but not from a bias standpoint since I don't know either one of you.

OH MY!!!  I didn't realize you were a General and a badass.

Leading on the internet is funny.  Just like a guy who gets sick to his stomach over a simgame.
