aejones is the subject of our latest User Interview: http://whatifsports.com/beyondtheboxscore/default.asp?article=interview_20130530

Thanks, aejones, for taking time to share with the community.

Haha good stuff. I never knew that aejones was such a jokester

Very nice interview, aejones. I'm a big fan of this answer:

WIS: Least favorite?

aejones: I don't really understand baseline prestige and my politically correct self would like to know why WIS thinks it's important to run a simulation game with fake players where teams are still as good as they are in real life. My unpolitically correct self wonders what *** backward moron created this site and messed up a good idea so badly, I want to run a hypothetical where there is no baseline prestige so I can just get Duke in every world and f****** run them into the ground until I get fired (which I hear is pretty hard these days) just to bolster my resume and get the Duke job back and do it again. F*** Duke. Can I say all that?

If you post in this thread I'll give you an almighty upvote. You should start preparing for your forum Hall of Fame induction speech.

I'm a UNC grad student, so. . . 

Pretty good read. For some reason I didn't realize he was the aejones from poker, a couple years ago, when I played a little, he was one of the top online players in the world.

I have to say the best part was when he said he would schedule some easy road games like SIUE and I completely agree with his statements on baseline prestige (while I think running Duke into the ground is reserved for the most hardcore UNC fans, baseline prestige is unnecessary in a fake game using fake players.)

WIS: If you were to give one piece of advice to a new user, what would it be?

aejones: Read the D2/D3 guide I wrote. Seriously, read it. Then do what it says. Then win a lot of games. Then win some titles. Then after you've won some titles thank me for the titles you've won and ask WIS if they can give me the assist on those titles. Then shower yourself with free seasons of HD and name your first born son "aejones" and send me a picture of his/her birth certificate.

If aejones mentions you in an interview with WIS, you should put it on your resume.

Does your theorem also work in HD, aejones?

Thanks to aejones, some of us who were emphasizing ATH/DEF in our recruiting evaluations before it was cool and used to have it pretty easy are now engaged in battles and losing players who were once what made us good.

Thanks a lot aejones!
