We're having a White Trash party, but don't know what games to play.

Do you have any ideas for games? And who in this thread would be ideal to contact for pointers? IE: Who is most white trash?

When you say "white trash", I think of Kid Rock and John Daly golfing. I don't know either of them so I move on to trailer parks. I know you'll need a keg of cheap beer that must be kept outside. One bag of ice on top. A poorly hung badmiton net would be a nice touch. No one ever plays but it's there just in case someone wants to do something besides drink. You'll need cards and dice. Beyond that, I can't help you. But I know you'll have to argue a lot over whatever game you do play.

Is it OK to refer to the ex and her family as white trash?

I'm pretty sure you can refer to your ex how you wish.

Is this thread finally starting to die?

By using the word finally it sounds like radkison wants the thread to die.

Do you think this thread will live longer than radkison?

I won't be leaving but I do understand. Seems that more than one owner is failing to see the downside of non-contenders trading limited BL-players to contenders for crap. It opens a very big door that can only be closed by someone being a huge, dictorial ***. And, if the majority of the world is fine with that door being open, I'm reluctant to close it.

Yes, it is.

I'd buy the Hurricanes for $25.

You do realize that he is talking about the Carolina Hurricanes of some moderately famous intramural sports league and not the University of Miami Hurricanes, right?

Do you care to rethink the use of your $25?

Holiday. So, no, it is not.

It depends on how old radkison is and his current health.

Yes, I realized it was an ice sport in NC. I drink more than $25 during a standard 9 inning game. I'll gamble it on a ice hockey team being capable of bringing in a profit of $26. Plus I'll be able to say I own an almost professional sports team. That has to have some clout with the chicks.

did you watch diff'rent strokes when you were younger?

how many different strokes did you use when you were younger, if you know what I mean?

I'd be ashamed to admit it if I did. So, if I answer, I might be lying.

As many as I could, if you know what I mean.

This is what the Player's Guide says about the Training Budget:

"This refers to the value allotted to preventing injuries. Training specifically refers to the preparations made by players and staff to keep the team healthy. While some players will always be more injury-prone than others, spending money on training can significantly limit or minimize player injuries. Training also helps slow down the aging process."

Oddly enough, this is the first time I have looked at this in the Player's Guide.

It reads to me like your Training budget has Zero Effect on player development (outside of making it less likely a player gets injured and loses development time).

Am I misunderstanding this?

Are Coaching, Playing Time, Makeup and Potential the only factors affecting Player development?

I don't think you're misunderstanding it. I think it's inaccurate. Training, along with the four items you mentioned, affect player development.

Good to know that the Player's "Guide" gives inaccurate guidance...

Don't you think that is a rather MAJOR inaccuracy for them not to take care of?

I think you'd be surprised at the inaccurate statements that customer support offers up from time to time. Most recent: Every player I've ever seen takes a ratings hit if he's not on a roster when ST ends. An owner in Bo Jackson signed one and, as soon as he signed, the hit showed(an "event" has to occur for the hit to expose itself). He questioned CS and they said "It's random." And, when he pressed them, they still insisted that it's random. It isn't. Unless every player not on a roster takes a random hit.
