16 seed over a 1 seed? Topic

i did rather enjoy the OP, but shoe, tough luck man. it happens sometimes, and i know we should all prepare for it, but it still sucks! at least you are in good company, lots of long time folks have lost 1v16s. i was involved in a 1v64 loss pretty recently, and not for the first time. i look at it like, if you get enough 1 seeds, you'll eventually lose a 1v16, so its almost a badge of honor? benis, you should look at those off-the-board EE losses the same way :) granted, it doesn't make it any better, but at least you can pretend and maybe if you pretend long enough (drinking helps), it starts to feel like it makes it better!

Hilarious OP.

Ive gotten into the habit of reading PBPs when no one else is around so I can verbally vent as needed.

Crazy!

Tsk tsk

Unexpectedly losing a key player to early entry as a 1 seed to a 16 seed SIM is always 100% user error. Either the coach doesn’t understand player evaluation game simulations, or the coach doesn’t understand how the system works.

The big board seedings are not designed to tell you what is going to happen. It’s a tool to help you get a picture, but it is not the picture. Coaches are supposed to use their own evaluation skills to determine if they will need to develop contingencies, or try to mitigate the risk of EE losing to a 16 seed SIM as a 1 seed by limiting certain attribute growth areas something about commodities.

The projection report Seedings don’t tell you who is going to be in the final four. Both compilations give a 100% accurate *snapshot* of how teams and players stack up. But the snapshot is not the outcome. Each outcome - whether it’s a tournament game result, or player early entry decisions - results from probability.

The game isn’t designed to tell you exactly what will happen. It’s designed to give you a look at what is likely, and then run a simulation. Lists and projections are not outcomes. Until this gets through to you, you will continue to misunderstand the game, and spread misinformation among the coaches you influence.
Augustine doesn't have the realm of developed players and their school surrounding 4-5 schools this was the long term wait Ecu has done but they did it the right way managing the players now we are in talks going to SEC because ACC rejected us 20 times.

Also I can recognize when people buy accounts all they talk about is mismerizing the gameplan and looking for help with others but don't play the game and they certainly talk about how many people they lost and their is even rumors that doctor is using the black market accounts but go ahead and say you better you people can not speak 2 sentences.

hmmmm im confused, not sure if it was benis or or shoe who lost to a 16, and too tired to really care.

but yeah, it does suck. and maybe when youve been a 1seed 724 times like gil you can say "oh well" but for most of the rest of us "FUWIS" is the appropriate response.

100% agree with mully that reading the pbp is better done in a soundproof room as a solidary activity, preferably with padded walls and no sharp objects.

lately this is also the best environment to watch 'cuse games

by the way, i am quite sure that is often why bad things happen to me

Wardo, when you say "doctor"... do you mean gillespie? that would make alot of sense. I highly suspect that he has been using the black market accounts.
2/11/2020 10:49 PM
ok i get it now.... shoe lost to the 16 but benis was the OP and this somehow relates to some long running fued they have had about EEs.

I am just pointing out that some of the returning people have bought accounts and few of them know I exist outside the realm. Used to read Mayan science alot of the time I get where they Sacrifice it was for Bread Winners Golden Child of family and to become Royal Queen and King blood of the group. Sadly only England uses midevil tactics as they say Stonehenge is the most active documented ancient Sorcery the Egypt Monamutes are one of the dryest cultures and yes 3 out of the 5 documented was a yes man to build a replica Egypt culture without Cricket or Soccer as number one and or two Musicians are put first then its Identity politics So 2 of the 5 Documented yes man was considered American yes man to plant Plantation and grow Tar well that life ended in 1700 and it put a really good mark on Americans and this is what yall who paid into the system is going to see for the future and present

If we’re going to move forward and call this a feud, I feel like I need to be upfront. I don’t care very much. He’s not important enough to me to keep up sitemail conversations, with various other people keeping tabs on.

I mean seriously, he put some real work into this. I’m not into that level of commitment. I’m just not looking for that kind of relationship right now. With Benis acting like a crazy ex who is eventually going to try to burn down your house if you don’t give them the attention they want, this may be a tactical error on my part; but I think it’s important to be honest in any relationship, or it’s all based on a lie, and that never works out for anyone.

the hatfields and mccoys would be very dissapointed in you, shoe.

wardo slips in an epic post while we are busy not caring about benis and shoe.

one paragraph and we touched on Mayan Science, Stonehenge, Monamutes and Tar Plantations... but the real insight was buried right at the top..

"few of them know I exist outside the realm."


WAIT... WHAT?!? Wardo exists outside the realm?

It means I have mastered Or Volume A and completed school I have mastered every type of magic at a low rate. I was in the Matrix for 10 years once I stopped closing doors and hidden rooms my offers stopped. I am currently ahead of the Bellatrix and or Voldemort. I think I am apart of the Island Isles druid magic. But my background is the Celtic religion who will be passed on to my Daughters who is just born here to fix my Grandma side before that she will be dead and I have foresaw nobody will come to this town probably little people is to decide to live in Washington and Chocowinity... We are hoping for 1/3 houses to turn the process into SEC region as we have began the temperature at a solid Yes at 15% that Ecu will be a SEC offer in all sports. At this rate a higher Mexican youth Academy with teen adults is better than any American job at the moment.

Well if this thread has served a purpose, it's that we all now know the rules of complaining around here. According to Poopshoe the forum police, if you don't like a crazy result in HD, you're more than free to post "F*** off WIS" in the coaches corner. Hell you're allowed to do this one or even two times a WEEK.

But under absolutely no circumstances are you allowed to create threads in the forum complaining and pointing out how highly unlikely results are stupid. Be warned, the forum police are watching and they take their job VERY seriously.

I don't know about y'all, but I know I feel safer just knowing Sherriff Poopshoe is around to preserve the sanctity of the HD forums.
