I quit using any kind of strategy after I took a 2-0 series lead and got personally attacked for using a legit strategy.  I let the AI run the series and dumped the next 4 games to lose it.

Congratulations.

This might be the funniest post I've seen in a while.

"I intentionally tanked a playoff series to spite my opponent".

I didn't intentionally tank anything.  I played my starters and pitched my SP's.  There was no spite involved....when you set tandems, win the first two, and willsauve starts throwing WC attacks about what a douche move it is, how I am somehow cheating, and calling me all sorts of names, I stopped doing it.  

I started nothing, willsuave took it to WC, then took it to the public forums.  And for some reason he continues to have no respect for me, even though I did nothing wrong.  Other owners are now leaving the world because of what willsauve did.  He was wrong, and has yet to apologize to his world for causing all this.  Guy should be sending me a gift card for essentially handing him a WS, seeing as I beat him in the WS the year before as well using tandems.  This time he whined and I stopped doing it.  I still see nothing wrong with using that strategy and would bet he uses it in the future since I schooled him on it lol.

Anyhow, I will not comment further on this issue.  It's ridiculous.

Yeah another issue.  I have had two or three such issues in the last year, where the other party was clearly in the wrong, acted all out of sorts, I reacted and it blew up. 

All three issues I had no responsibility for other than I reacted and refuse to back down to idiocy.  Perhaps I just need to learn to let things go.  

However, trying to lay out exactly what happened in the forums nets nothing, it only brings out the morons who just want to start crap and get the last word in.  I overreact to stupidity because it annoys me, but I never start an issue and certainly never keep going on an issue in which I am in the wrong.  If I am wrong, I admit it and move on.  I don't use personal attacks and obscure things to continue a ridiculous crusade, like stevehoggett does.

I think the owner that created the tandem ruckus, willsauve, knows he is wrong, and he stopped commenting on it.  He never apologized to me, and continues to not have respect for me, but that is just an indication of his shame at his overreaction to a legit tandem strategy, and I am ok with that.  While that is unfortunate, I no longer have a beef with him after he realized he was in the wrong.

Stevehoggett, on the other hand, has absolutely no basis on his rant (I am destroying my team) as it hasn't happened, yet he continues to throw personal attacks and bring up all manner of stuff from the last season that has no bearing on his rant.  He is one of those guys that just cannot admit he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Anyone else get a good laugh at this "I have had two or three such issues in the last year" ?

And just so Ranger knows what we are doing. We are LOL'ing at you.

" I let the AI run the series and dumped the next 4 games to lose it." followed by "I didn't intentionally tank anything.".

So which is it?  Or do you have a third story today?

I just want to point out that I quit responding becasue you're an idiot and a POS.  I still think the tactic of offhanded tandems is a way to exploit the system.. If settings allowed a team to offset this with substittuion options it would be slightly less gay.. Its not against any rules and thats the only thing that I admitted. Only one guy has had a nice thing to say about you and it seems like you're the idiot who always needs the last word..   Its not likely that I will post on this again unles you decide to wrongly assume my opinions/thoughts on something. Just to be clear so there is no confusion... You're a POS, I would never join a world that you are in and would never allow you in a world I run.
