You REALLY don't know why? 

is this kinda like the anti-Sally Fields Oscar moment?

No I don't, because whether you like me or not shouldn't matter in this instance, you should judge me on my games and their quality, and if you don't like them/their premise...I'd honestly like to know why.

because should and do are different things. FWIW, I think most of the things you say are a tad foolish, or at least perhaps less than optimally presented, but I gave one of my two daily thumbs up to this thread after seeing it was ratings blocked, because there really was no reason other than pettiness to rate it down...but that's just me...

If you act like an ******* to everyone do you really deduce that once you ask for help, suggestions, feedback everyone will be more than willing to help out?

I didn't even read this post. I just noticed it was a link to another game and voted it down. Don't spam the forums with your products.

I'm an ******* because I don't agree with vast majorities that say they're right just because they accept the game for what it is? I mean really.

People on WIS have played these games before, I don't make a dime off of doing them and I've helped out WIS in the process in prior years. I put this thread here because I was looking to capitalize on the fact that a lot of people don't like me here and that hopefully they would want to challenge me and beat me at my own game(s).

If I may just impart these words from a Megadeth song titled A Tout Le Monde "Don't remember where I was, when I realized life was a game...the more seriously I took things, the harder the rules became..." A lot of you take these forums and what is said in them WAY TOO SERIOUSLY, and that's the reason for the lyrics.

I thumb'd down it. Just the simple fact that I'd rather hide it and stop it before it gets out of hand. If this didn't get hidden, it'd be a 6 page **** match atm. Most don't like that stuff. It has its moments where its cute watching you act like a 5 year old who always has to be right, but this is a dying game. You can't get new members to really want to stay/be active when you are doing this. WIS has gave us the power to make you not exist, and until you switch up your act where all you want to do is argue just to argue I'll use that power as often as I want. Blocking you isn't the answer, because it doesn't stop you. I've tried that route, but it doesn't block everyone else who answers to you and it doesn't block you away from the new guys. So, this is what I choose to do. Seems like it worked, slightly.

If this is the over-riding sentiment (which seemingly it is), then that's really a shame. There are people that literally hate me on this site for the words that I type...that's funny and mind-boggling at the same time.

Whether you like it or not, I argue harder, brasher, and more stubbornly than probably everyone here. I'm not always right, but I will admit when I'm wrong, and just so you all know, having a disagreement or a difference of opinion doesn't necessarily mean that either person is wrong...it's just a belief in a different argument (i.e. the player minute griping thread...sure I'm in the vast minority/by myself in that argument...but that's reason enough to change my argument and just accept HD the way it is just because its most loyal players say so? That's a no in my book, and while you may not agree with it, I'm sticking with/to my guns). I'm not an easy guy to argue with, especially with things I'm passionate about, and I'm not an easy win by any means. If you take up your cross against mine, you'd better be ready for a battle...that's just how I am. I think a lot of people try to fight/rage against who I am as opposed to accepting me as I am and dealing with me as such. I think things would go much smoother if people didn't kick and scream blindly everytime I remotely say something detrimental about the game.

With all that said, I think I have 7 terrific games ready to roll this football season, and I honestly wouldn't rather compete against anyone over my biggest critics and haters if you will. I seem to be in the minority in this viewpoint as well, but if you hate or think you're better than someone and a bit of a rivalry is brewing in any context, don't you want to beat them and challenge them, especially at their own game? I mean, I've had tiffs with Paul Bessire and Ryan Fowler on here, but they're probably the 2 guys that I most want to compete against because though in some respects I may not like them, I do respect them and their positions thus I want to prove that I too am "worthy" if you will and to really see who's better. I don't hate those that I argue against, I appreciate the fact that they're coming at me just as hard as I'm coming at them, thus it's more of a competition rather than it is an enemy building stage, and consequently, I think the hate for me here is a bit unjust. I understand it, but your response is to tuck your tail and run? That just doesn't sit well with me.

It's a shame really that many of you have disdain for me because we don't agree all the time/at all and/or because you don't like the way that I argue and how I stick to my guns. Strip all the arguments down, and this is really the truth of the matter. I really am only as bad as you want me to be....I give you what you want, regardless of whether you directly ask for it or not, and I think/hope that that would count for something.

Hope to see all/some of you there.

It isn't 'tucking our tails and running',. Colonels.  THat goes back to the bit about arguing like a five year old and presuming that because someone chooses to stop arguing with you it means they have conceded you are right.  Sticking to your guns is allright if its at least debatable wether you are right or not, but you stick to them long past the time you are out of bullets and shooting blanks.  And then insist that you are drawing blood with your imaginary bullets.  ANd COlonels?  You'll admit  when you are wrong?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
 

 

 

As for your games. . I have seen what passes for logic in your world, and what you seem to think games should do. . . . .and based on that, I find it highly improbable that even trying out what you are pitching will be worth my time.

you ARE an easy win, you just don't realize it when you lose.

and you have a tunnel-vision mindset about how the game should run; nobody else shares your general viewpoint. thus all the arguments.

you're the most conceited poster on this forums (largely evidenced by the fact that you made a website entirely about your own sports formulations) and until that changes everyone will dislike you.

The bottom line is that when you act like a complete jackass 98% of the time, most people aren't going to want to be around your or your site. That's pretty simple. And as someone already mentioned above, when so much of what you say lacks logic and you've shown yourself to be nearly incapable of reason and compromise ... again, why would that encourage anyone to participate in a game designed and run by you?
