I pray that you have something better to do.

Its 10PM on a Monday night and its cold as hell outside...I address what is written to me, but to expect the same in return is unjust? Lol, looks like you're just giving your boy zhawks an out here. He hasn't addressed that question, nor have you.

If money grew on trees my friend...trust me I'd love a new comp, I just don't have the funds. I make do with what I have.

First of all, this hasn't been going on just on cold Monday nights, so that explanation, shockingly, is unmitigated crap. Second, even at 10pm on a cold Monday night, I'd still hope you had roughly 500 better things to do than take constant abuse in a neverending, meaningless, circular argument with strangers.

And lastly, I don't have the slightest idea what question you think I'm dodging (I haven't been involved in this thread lately), nor do I have the tiniest inclination to find out.

Apparently gillispie and Mr. T had a love child, and coach_billyg be his name.

I pity the fool who doesn't use team rating to determine SOS!

don't be talking bout my daddy.

damn straight on team ratings, team rating is the shiz bang bam snap nizzle. the chron of chronics. like the other day, my 718 rated band of ************ had to play this 793 rated team of giants, men among boys. and wouldn't you know, they straight up whooped our ***. hmm... it must be the damn alcohol, my vision done shat itself. for some reason it looks like we won by 10 but that makes about as much sense as using your foodstamps for food. every fool knows you cant eat after you smoke that crack pipe.

And besides, tilting at windmills is still a quite accurate description orf what you were doing in that thread. Attacking imaginary enemies, fighting unwinnable battles . . .



It's also an accurate description of trying to have any kind of meaningful discussion or debate with colonels...

Second, even at 10pm on a cold Monday night, I'd still hope you had roughly 500 better things to do than take constant abuse in a neverending, meaningless, circular argument with strangers. I like a good online argument every once in a while, sorry. If I thought I was wrong, I would have owned up to it, apologized and by now...the fact is its guys like zhawks that wants to keep this thing going. All I'm asking anyone here is to CONSIDER my viewpoint.

And lastly, I don't have the slightest idea what question you think I'm dodging (I haven't been involved in this thread lately), nor do I have the tiniest inclination to find out.

This was more of a question posed to zhawks (which he hasn't answered) but I would like your answer as well, if in fact you feel this way....

If you can't see how an all wins rate higher than all losses format is logical...then I'm really at a loss for words...I don't know what I can say that I haven't already said. The objective of a basketball game is to WIN the game...not to play close and lose, not to just show up and get your *** kicked, its to WIN...that is basketball SUCCESS...you WIN you SUCCEEDED, you LOSE you FAILED, its really a simple, straight forward concept. How can you tell me that using contest SUCCESS is illogical?

I'm amazed that many people don't seem to enjoy "randomness" as an answer. I think all of these games are much more fun when you can't 100% figure everything out. Why would you want to 100% figure everything out - what would be the fun if there wasn't some random variance? If you have a team in all worlds, you shouldn't be able to do the exact same thing in all of them, and get the exact same result. I don't think this makes WIS wrong, or dodgy, or any of the things said about them over the past 11 pages.

I am amazed at how anal people get about this - like trying to figure exactly everything out is the only reason to be on the site.

Randomness drives all games and I'm in great favor of normal randomness, not excessive randomness.
