Also, we should remind ourselves that this is a simulated baseball game on the internet.   The ABSOLUTE WORST thing that can happen is a C pinch hits in game 7 of the WS and is left in the field in the bottom of the 9th.    He kicks one and loses the game.   OMG!!!!!!!!   HOW WILL THE WORLD CONTINUE TO TURN?!?!?!?!?!

It's a goddam internet game.  A diversion from the real world.   If that would wreck your day, you have ****** days anyway.  You'll live.

Well, they should at least put in the logic for death since can't figure out that it's happening to him....even when you tell him.

I'm just saying that the the "thread closed" thing sounds arrogant is all.  Joking or not, it looks bad in print.
It's meant to draw a response.   I don't particularly care how it looks in print. 

It's the internet equivalent of holding up your hand and saying "Talk to the hand because the face don't care."   Which I do to aggravate people too.

This would suck.

Just got finished watching Game of Thrones season 1 (all 10 episodes in 2 days).

I would highly suggest beheadding, done by an experienced swordsman. Quick, clean and honorable.

... and this is a suggestion forum.  Why do you have to **** all over this suggestion?  I think HBD is an awesome game, and at this point all they have to do to improve it is tinker.  This is a tinkering type of suggestion.

If one likes the suggestion, they tend to say "Good idea!!"

What would you suggest one do when they don't like the suggestion?
1/26/2012 9:11 PM
Whatever you like.  My impression is that you'd rather have them work on something much more important than this.  What that is you don't say.  In fact, without looking, I don't remember ever seeing you make an actual suggestion here, Mike.  You do seem to be keen to shoot them down though.
1/26/2012 9:17 PM
Now I looked.  You don't make suggestions.  You just criticize other people's.
1/26/2012 9:19 PM

And here we have the root of the issue with Mikey.  Its not enough for him to say he doesn't like it and move on.  Instead he has to state that the idea is stupid, you are stupid, proclaim himself the final word on all things HBD, and declare that "MikeT has spoken and the thread is now closed.".  Pure and total arrogance. 

Mikey you are just one of hundreds of people playing this game, many with just as much knowledge and success about how the game works and what would improve it.  You are not smarter than everyone else, and you are not the final authority. 

You are the most blocked person in all of WiS.  You have such a huge inflated opinion of your own importance to this game that its laughable.  You obviously have little else going on in your life since you troll the forums and post 20 times a day.   

Then to make it worse, he has his little group of sycophants, that follow him around from thread to thread kissing his ***, blindly adopting whatever opinion Mikey has without even coming up with an original thought or original opinion.  

There may have been a time in the history of HBD that Mikey helped to guide new players with suggestions, and work to improve the game.  Those days are long past.  Now he the great defender of the status quo, and defender of his own delusion of granduer.   I would imagine that at this point the only real purpose he serves is to run off players from the forums, or his little corner of the schoolyard as it were. 

Its both sad and annoying.,

This was his suggestion thread.  No need for me to make different suggestions here.  

You may check again to see if I've actually made ANY suggestions in this forum.   You might be surprised.

Nonetheless, if we're led to believe that WifS monitors these forums, I think it's a bad idea to have 10 "attaboy, +1" posts and nothing else if/when a suggestion is relatively useless.   Would you disagree?
1/26/2012 9:25 PM
I checked.  8 suggestions in this forum in the last 6 months(one implemented.  Add baserunning rating to more screens).  If you care to look, I took some abuse in some of them.   No crying from me about it.

You're welcome.

20 posts a day isn't all bad. I've been kinda a serial poster for some time now, not on purpose, but because I feel like I have something to contribute 80% of the time (I spread it out over 4-5 forums). 

But you are correct, there is a difference between trolling and mass posting. I'm definitely a mass poster, but I sure hope no one considers me a troll (11 blocks for me. I feel terrible.)
1/26/2012 9:33 PM
I just threw out a number for Mikey, its probably closer to 50.    The number of posts a day doesn't make you a troll.  Being a troll makes you a troll.  Mikey is a troll.

I don't disagree with that last statement.  What I don't like seeing is people's judgement of a decent suggestion being clouded by a bias against the person making the suggestion.  I happen to think that it's a good idea, but I haven't read a decent counter point to it yet, except it wouldn't affect game play very much.  Well, baseball is a game of inches and statistics.  Little things pile up, and come to matter over a long season.  Sometimes a season can turn on a single play.  I, for one, wouldn't want the single play that my season hinges on to be booted by a 2b who was subbed in because he pinch hit for my light hitting 2b when he could have been put in LF, and the LF, whose ratings are better for 2b than the PH, and who has 2b for a secondary position, remains in LF.  As I said before (and nobody has refuted this), this sort of thing happens practically every game in real life MLB.
