Sh******... between the thousands of posts, tons of audio and video I have given you guys, you all know everything that I know. There are no secrets left to share, I can't handicap myself anymore, I've told you all there is. I've even automated the spreadhseets so you can see it all realtime / given you all the historical data so you can mine it all you want. How much more can I kneecap myself?
Eh, you have created some pretty great personal tools that you have not - to my knowledge, at least - ever shared
(don't. ever.) and have figured out a better evaluation than anybody else. So, yeah, as long as you've got that, you're going to have a leg up on everybody, even if you
weren't one of the best game managers and coaches this site has ever seen,
which you are, so we're obviously boned!
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusable seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasons
Before I started using my own (flawed) tools, I was
garbage at this theme. Once I figured some stuff out (with help) and made some decent databases (again, with help), I got better. And yet, my tools spit out players saying they're great while your tools say are ****, and since you've won the thing five times - and are cruising to number six - and I've done zero, your evaluation is clearly superior to mine.
Even if you shared all of your personal evaluation tools, people wouldn't read into them or use them as well as you. You have an impossible perspective to replicate, and the only way that's going to change is if someone figures it out
even better than you have and applies it for a long period of time, so it really doesn't matter how much you've shared or share in the future. You've got this thing down, and dammit,
I'm ******* proud of you for that! You and I both struggled with this league at the start, and we put our heads together - along with a few really smart people - to try and figure it out. We all made progress, but you figured it out better than
all of those people combined! You downplay your own brilliance. I don't know if it's an attempt to remain humble, a superstitious thing, or if maybe you're like so many great artists who just don't see themselves how the rest of the world sees them. Could be a little bit of all three.
What I'm saying - if I'm saying anything at all - is that there's no real secret sauce you can share with everyone to make them... you. Even if you gave everybody every tool you've made or used, at the end of the day, any of these elite leagues are about choices and decision making, and nobody has a better track record of making those choices in this league than you. So wear your crown, Savage King, and wear it proudly. Just don't get too upset when the rest of us plebs call you out for first world problems: "Oh no, I'm only 15 games ahead of 2nd place!" hahaha (I know you never said that, but it's what I see when you're doing your little Rob superstitious complaining lol)
Happy Easter, Rob, and everybody else, too!
